One of the things that my dad did to me as a kid was expand my sympathy for monsters. I'm sure it was to keep me from being afraid of monster movies [which he loved]. So he always rooted for the monster: Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, Godzilla - all of them were sympathetic if viewed in the lens of 'what are they feeling'. So I have always loved monster movies.
Except.
The one monster movie/scary movie that actually scared me was 'The Blob'. There was -nothing- sympathetic about THAT monster and what it did. That movie scared the bejeebers out of me.
