You Might Be a Monster-Lover if...
by J. Malcolm Stewart
It’s time for an admission… You’re kinda of a Monster Lover, aren’t you?
Now, I know you don’t normally go around and say that out loud to people. Makes for some uncomfortable dinner time conversation. And I’m not saying you’re doing anything wrong either. This isn’t the opening to a recovery intervention. To paraphrase Billy Joel, “We like you just the way you are.” But maybe you’re just not sure about your status. I mean, it’s not everyday you get slapped with the stark, cold reality of your addiction.
Fear not! We’re here to help! Especially when it comes to slapping you with stark, cold reality. We Horror Addicts live to serve.
So, without further ado, the 15 reasons you might be a Monster Lover:
If you’ve ever been caught lurking around the Dollar Tree on October 1st, looking to score some brand new, skull studded, black paper plates… You might be a Monster Lover.
If you have two packages of matching skull napkins in a closet at home from last year’s Halloween party… You might be a Monster Lover.
If you are already planning your December 4th Krampus viewing party…. You might be a Monster Lover.
If you have purchased Krampus Holiday cards… You might be a Monster Lover. Or you’ve spent too many dark nights in Bavaria, which is almost the same thing. Either way, no card exchange this year, please!
If you are already making bets that Crimson Peak will end up ripping Tom Hiddleston’s million-dollar-face clean off his skull at some point… You might be a Monster Lover. Or you hate Superhero-themed blockbusters. Or some combination of the two.
If you’ve had the random thought, “That whole meat dress thing was just an elaborate audition ploy by Gaga to get on American Horror Story…” You might be a Monster Lover—you cynic.
