Why do humans create monsters?
From vampires and witches to serial killers and internet horror, every society creates stories about dangerous things lurking in the dark. But anthropology suggests these creatures are more than entertainment; they are reflections of cultural anxiety, survival instincts, morality, and collective fear.
In this episode of Field Notes from the Dead, we explore:
- The evolutionary roots of fear storytelling
- Why monsters appear in every culture
- Vampires, witches, and cryptids as social symbols
- True crime and modern “digital monsters.”
- Why humans still gather around fear narratives today
Because maybe monsters were never really about creatures in the dark.
Maybe they were always about us.
