After just about everyone discussing the Twilight New Moon movie lately, it got me thinking about the vampire as a classic horror icon. From there, two other horror icons sprung to mind – the werewolf, and frankensteins monster. For whatever reason these three ‘creatures’ have been a part of our culture for centuries. Part of what lets them endure is undoubtably their image. Artistically these icons have something incredibly intriguing about them. Perhaps for this reason many artists attempt to construct their own concepts of these creatures. Unfortunately many such works simply don’t give their origin credit. However, after some considerable research I was able to find a collection of digital paintings that offered something a little extra. All of these works seem to really get the the heart of the horror legend that they depict. Enjoy!
Vampires
Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures regardless of them being undead or a living person. In folkloric tales, vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive.
Werewolfs
A werewolf is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or an anthropomorphic wolf-like creature, either purposely, by being bitten or scratched by another werewolf, or after being placed under a curse.
Frankenstein’s Monster
Frankenstein’s monster is a character that first appeared in Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. In the novel, the creature has no name—a symbol of his parentlessness and lack of human sense of self and identity.
