Some are gigantic, like King Kong or the kaiju in \u003ci\u003ePacific Rim\u003c\/i\u003e, while others are microscopic. Some monsters appear uncannily human, from serial killers like Norman Bates to the pod people in\u003ci\u003e Invasion of the Body Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e. And of course, other movie monsters like demons, ghosts, vampires, and witches emerge from long folklore traditions. Film expert Barry Keith Grant considers what each type of movie monster reveals about what it means to be human and how we regard the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of film history, Grant presents us with an eclectic array of monster movies, from \u003ci\u003eNosferatu \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eGet Out\u003c\/i\u003e. As he discovers, although monster movies might claim to be about \u003ci\u003eThem \u003c\/i\u003e, they are really about the capacity for horror that lurks within each of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813588803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.21h x 7.67w x 0.47d","brand":"Barry Keith Grant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43505787961525,"sku":"9780813588803","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2949baa4-6c6b-443c-b182-b0af10c5d61a.jpg?v=1705424086","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/monster-cinema-9780813588803","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
