[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6462457, member: 4937"] I could pick on anyone in the thread, but I'll pick on you. By making demons passionately love being vindictive and destructive and imposing their will on others, you are actually humanizing them. Honestly, you'll end up with a superhero who happens to be ugly and play for a different team, rather than a true monster. You'll end up with a Darth Vader (or even Freddie Krugar) character, where, even though they are the baddie, the audience still identifies with them and admires their brutality, power, and so forth as a type of 'cool'. You'll know more end up with something scary than the Joker is scary. Once again, I assert you'll not create a queasy fear of evil, terror, or any other horrific sensation. Instead, you'll create fascination and fetishization. You'll end up with a heel that every one wants to see do a face turn while still being its brutal self. You'll end up with exactly the slasher movie vibe that the OP said he wanted to avoid. Afterall, in every slasher movie, it's ultimately the monster that is the protagonist in the long run. [/QUOTE]
