Well no, not literally.
But I've always been a big fan of really good horror movies (the old fashioned ones) and the deeper meanings that lurked within. For example, Frankenstein was a "compiled" person -- made up of random parts and then brought to life by a surge of electricity. Although many people thought he was a scary ghoul, he had a softer side and was truly moved by the haunting sound of a violin. We all know folks like that, right?
In the spirit of the season, here are some of the other real life "monsters" I have known and loved (or not):
- Facebook zombies: The people who haunt you at wee hours and are compelled to respond to every status update with a comment. They mean well.
- Blood suckers: Folks who steal the joy from every happy moment.
- Brain stealers: They ask if they can "pick your brain" and then take advantage of your generosity.
- Networking sprites: They can be either good or evil. They show up at every event you attend. Perhaps they have a lot in common with you. Perhaps they have nothing else to do. Get to know them. They mean no harm.
- Werepeeps. Like werewolves, they change personality at regular intervals. They may be kind and caring at times. Or, they may rip your face off. Beware!
Everyone has a little bit of monster inside him or her. I am sure I have been dubbed a witch (or worse) at times. I can be hauntingly obnoxious if I feel strongly about something. But at the end of the day, we all have a little ghoul inside of us. We need to get in touch with that "touch of evil" and stay inside when the moon is full.
