Unlock the Dark Secrets to Crafting Monsters That Haunt Your Readers’ Nightmares.
In horror (and a lot of science fiction and fantasy), your characters learn about the monster through the use of redshirts. Redshirts, simply put, are characters who only exist to get killed. They’re the first ones that die, and through their deaths, your protagonist learns a lot about the monster they’re facing.
They learn how it kills, how it hunts, how it moves. They learn its capabilities. And ultimately, they discover its weakness.
What does it want?
You monster must have a motivation. That motivation can be simple, like eating or breeding. (Think Alien or The Meg.)
