MONSTER HISTORY🕯️February 1, 1851
Mary Shelley, the creator of Frankenstein & mother of modern monsters, died at the age of 53.
She gave us scifi, bioethics, & a monster that still haunts human ambition. Today, we remember the woman behind the monster. #Frankenstein

🧟‍♂️ On this day in 1988, The Return of the Living Dead Part II was unleashed! More Trioxin. More zombies. More BRAINS. 🧠☣️ Suburban chaos never smelled so radioactive.

Myself dressed as female Krampus. Sitting beside a Christmas tree with my hand showing my claws.

Myself dressed as Krampus standing in front of a Christmas tree with a hook chain in one hand and a bundle of glitter birch sticks held in the other.

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate.
Hope you're all on the nice list. 👀

On 12/18/1912, a human skull + ape jaw were presented as the “missing link.” For 40 years It was believed to be real. Piltdown Man wasn’t the first fake monster, but the first one science believed.

Dec. 15, 1967 The Silver Bridge collapsed in Point Pleasant, WV; 46 died. The cause was a cracked eyebar. Before the tragedy, there were reports of a winged figure with glowing red eyes, the Mothman. Today we remember the lives lost and how history & folklore became intertwined. #Mothman #folklore

🌕 The Wolf Man (December 1941) didn’t just create a monster it defined the modern werewolf. Full moons, silver, and the tragic curse of Larry Talbot turned the werewolf into a symbol of inner darkness and loss of control. Horror with a soul. 🐺 #universalmonsters #monstermuseum #monstermask #werewolf

London After Midnight (December 1927) A legendary lost film starring Lon Chaney. The final print was destroyed in a 1965 vault fire but the film’s legacy lives on. The film bridged silent-era gothic storytelling to the classic Universal monster boom of the 1930s! #universalmonsters #monstermuseum

For those of you who don't know, I've spent the last year planning and creating a Monster Museum in West Virginia! We plan to travel to festivals and conventions but also hope to have a physical location too! It's @drjekyllsioms.bsky.social #monstermuseum #oddities ##westvirginia #cryptids
