The standard toy, on the other hand, depicts La Llorona with a veil over her...

Despite having similar mythological origins, Vampires and Werewolves are behind one of the most iconic rivalries in media. There are countless books, movies and games that pit these legendary creatures against each other, and everyone has their own opinion on which is the superior monster (I’ve always been firmly on team Werewolf). Today, however, I’d like to explore one of the most iconic takes on this ancient feud by looking back on the insanely popular Underworld franchise and how it reshaped these myths for an ever-evolving audience. The 2000s were...

I want it to be a phenomenon – a cultural phenomenon, where the audience feels some connection to this place, these people, and what was being said here. That’s Jaws, E.T, The Exorcist. All those movies. They just connected.” With this one small excerpt from a Newsweek interview with M.
