7. Stop Making Movie Monsters Sexy
I know you're thinking "What's wrong with sexy movie monsters?" You're possibly doing this while lighting torches, sharping pitchforks and forming angry mobs. In order for this to work I'm assuming you're 18th century peasants reading this outside of the local windmill. But what happens when studios make vampires sexy for a modern teen audience? Twilight is what happens, a movie franchise where every bad word written about it is true. Likewise what happens when you make vampires sexy for an adult audience? The answer is True Blood, a show staring Anna Paquin's Sookie, one of the most annoying characters on TV. T-Word (if you say it to many times Kirsten Stewart appears and stares vapidly at you) ruined werewolves as well, because they are now associated with Taylor Lautner, an "actor" who doesn't realise that shirtless flexing is not acting. I can't put all the blame at the T -Word's door there have been many movies which have romanticized vampires as doomed immortals. Yet there was always danger mixed with the seduction, vampires may fall in love but they did not sparkle and they damn sure drank blood. While it is not technically a horror movie, 2014 will see the release of I, Frankenstein starring Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein's Monster. Or Adam Frankenstein as Wikipedia informs me. That's right - they are making the collection of body parts, sewn together and brought to life with mad science sexy. If studios insist on using classic movie monsters, make them monsters again. I want vampires to be malevolent, blood drinking monsters, where being seductive is optional but being monstrous is imperative. I want Werewolves to stalk the night and make people fear the full moon. I want Frankenstein to be.... well ... not sexy?
