Traditional Halloween “Monsters”

As a fantasy and paranormal romance author, I am fascinated by folklore, fairytales, myths, monsters, and Halloween!

For several years, I’ve been on a fact-finding mission focused on the history of traditional Halloween “monsters” including their origins and evolution in folklore, literature, and pop culture. Each year, I research and post about a few more.

Here are ALL the posts so far. Click the images for more info on each!

Please note that I am NOT a historian, literature professor, or expert on these subjects.
I am just having fun spending a few hours researching them to share what I find with you.
