found: Lopez, D. Films by genre, c1993(monster movie (creature feature): the term is interchangable with that of horror film. However, in a stricter sense, monster movies, as the name indicates, deal exclusively with monsters which have in most cases malevolent intentions and prey on human life and property. Besides, not all horror movies include monsters. There are all sorts of monsters: supernatural, extraterrestrial, man-made, nature-made and god-made)
