Where Classic Horror Monsters Came From

Ever wonder what inspired the likes of Dracula, Jason Voorhees, or the Phantom of the Opera? Well too bad! Because we're talking about other horror monsters. Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you've never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn! If you've got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at podcast@strangerstillshow.com Sources: https://www.librarypoint.org/blogs/post/history-of-mummies/ https://www.cinelinx.com/movie-news/movie-stuff/classic-horror-origins-the-mummy/ https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/a-brief-history-of-the-creature-from-the-black-lagoon-franchise/ https://screenrant.com/creature-black-lagoon-gill-man-inspiration-explained/ https://medium.com/@andriolli/brazilian-folklore-notes-on-the-shape-of-water-c65a067b4b05 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/king-kong-unbelievable-true-story-hollywoods-favorite-giant-ape-984785 https://www.cbr.com/movie-legends-king-kong-inspiration/ https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/08/17/king-kong-origin/ https://inkstickmedia.com/will-the-real-godzilla-please-stand-up/ https://www.sideshow.com/geek/a-complete-film-history-of-godzilla https://screenrant.com/nightmare-elm-street-true-story-freddy-krueger-inspiration/ https://screenrant.com/halloween-movie-true-story-killer-michael-myers/
