Monsters just outside our peripheral vision are scarier to contemplate than monsters miles away or in someplace only a fool would set foot in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
There's monsters in all of us, but there's also vulnerability.
Monsters almost always are culture's way of working out their fears and are thus inherently incredibly interesting and powerful.
The monsters are in your own head.
I do believe that there are monsters out there - and that they are monsters.
The world's not a very comfortable place if you have a nightmare to face.
I always felt that what is scary is actually hearing someone tell you what they think they see. That sense of invisibility makes things a lot scarier, since your imagination tends to fill in the gaps.
I can see every monster as they come in.
In a deeply tribal sense, we love our monsters, and I think that is the key to it right there. It is monsters; it is learning about them: it is both thrill and safety.

The best monsters are our anxieties given form. They make sense on the level of a dream - or a nightmare.
