American monsters are ubiquitous in our popular culture. They loom large in film, comics, and video games, and they even haunt our political landscapes.
These monsters inhabit our shared dreams and collective nightmares.
They provide the artist with potent metaphors, which can be used and re-imagined in a way that provides commentary on our culture.
These new demons make up the iconography of America’s shadow self.
This short film by Michael A. Johnson features the words and artwork of Anthony Freda.
