The Afterlives of Myths and Monsters In-Person

Many monsters have been raised from dead countless times, always a little different from the experience. The methods of these 'afterlives' vary: one-to-one translations, adaptation, remix, combination, and more. By revealing these cross-historical connections we can see how the historical past influences contemporary popular culture. How have we "defanged" monsters from the antiquity to the contemporary moment through natural science? How have we crafted and remixed multiple myths to create new horrors to suit emerging audiences? Why have some references endured -with little alternation- for so long? How have actions within society crafted and created monsters for others?
