Here is my research proposal:
“My topic is to research how monsters’ myth effect people since our childhood.
I am interested in this topic because i watched some movies about monster killing people when i was growing up. This might give people some nightmares in the future or give them some cureless scares.
I might combine some old movies and some bizarre news from the past to use for this project.
I will need some recommendations for old western movies about monsters.”
