As All Hallow’s Eve rolls around, people across the world turn off the lights and huddle around the television to experience the chills and thrills of horror cinema. The horror genre is populated by some of the most recognizable icons of cinema, from more contemporary slashers such as Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers to classic monsters like the Wolfman and Dracula. These names have transcended their origins and become symbols of fear. However, one monster – and its name in particular – has led to controversy among both horror fans and academics alike. The pedantry that results from this debate is a terrible blight on the entire Halloween season.
