Horror movies have explored various arenas of the genre. However, monster movies have proven to be one of the most versatile of all, as movies like Frankenstein and The Wolf Man represented the struggles of humanity, fear of death and a desire for acceptance. In modern cinema, director Guillermo del Toro has become one of the best examples of a director who tapped into this style of monster movie to introduce the audiences to exciting stories that are as scary as they are tragic.
