In this article we intend to reflect briefly on the evolution that the aesthetic figure of three of the literature classic monsters (vampires, zombies and demons) has expe- rienced in the cinema, in order to reflect on how a radically renewing contemporary bestiary has been constructed both in cinema and literature. As we will try to show here, in recent times their total assimilation has caused that in some audiovisual and novelistic fictions the crisis of the monstrosity has become a rupture of alterity, that is, the “others” have been incorporated into the “our-Self”, and ceased to be regarded as strangers. Besides, the supernatural terror has been replaced by social preoccupations.
