“I’ve always felt that the real horror is next door to us, that the scariest monsters are our neighbors”
GEORGE A. ROMERO


“Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived”
Frankenstein - by Mary Shelley
