Cinema is a great attribute of the modernization of our society. We use film to turn words into actions. The visual aspect of a story makes the story more similar to what we see every day through our eyes. In excerpts edited by Brandy Ball Blake and L. Andrew Cooper, they explain the ideas behind the monster movie effect. Information from Frankenstein, An American Werewolf in London, and Psycho helps support the film's effect on the humanization of monsters. The film shows audiences how certain characteristics influence the identity of monsters. Emotion is a characteristic that the film uses to humanize the monsters. In today's society, the perception of monsters is understood in many ways. Personal opinion gives a definition to the term monster. According to most of what we do, we do it based on how we feel. We love each other through emotion and do monstrous things through emotion. Even monsters have a soft side. Victor Frankenstein's monster needed the love and affection of his creator. However, Victor did not succumb to this emotional state. Anne Mellor explains Frankenstein's denial of this: "Frankenstein's failure to embrace his smiling creature with maternal love, his horrified rejection of his own creation, explains the narrative consequences of his father's solitary propaganda" (Mellor 47) . Our need for affection leads us to problems of insignificance. In relation to how we humans need love and support to struggle in society. This makes Frankenstein's monster represent humanistic traits. Also, in John Landis's werewolf story, the scary human-killing werewolf still has some of his human characteristics. Andrew Cooper summarizes Landis' film: "...the creature's refusal to attack the helpless woman before him suggests that there is more human in the monster than his appearance might suggest" (Cooper 96). The werewolf knows that the woman he loves is before him; his loving emotion prevails over his animal instincts. In love, we choose to honor and be compassionate towards our partner; the humanistic side of the monster then comes out. On the other hand, emotion can cause despair and harm to people associated with the monster. Cooper recognizes the slasher monster I chose to adapt this into. The main character of the movie Psycho, Norman Bates, causes harm to young women. The women he feels sexually attracted to are his favorite victim (Cooper 212). In the film Psycho, Bate picks out a woman at his hotel, "...enjoys a shower in her room at the Bates Motel until the shadow of a female form approaches, pulls back the shower curtain, and stabs her repeatedly with a knife kitchen" ( Cooper 212). However, Bate isn't just himself; portrays his
