What Makes Monsters Terrifying?

From Friday 23:00 until Friday 23:59 (59 Minutes)

Participants: Richard Groller, Gail Z. Martin, Jack Trammell, D. Alexander Ward

There’s a lot more to terror than fangs, shadows, and heavy breathing. We discuss what makes for a truly intimidating monster, in prose, art and application.
