Mifrifi
Writing Mod
Growing up in the 90s brought many advantages. So also a very good knowledge of all the monsters that exist. Especially if your favorite monster has always been Godzilla. Monster films, films in which horror is not taken too seriously, but also gothic films have always been something that interested me.
