Cronenberg (monsters)

Cronenberg monsters, named after filmmaker David Cronenberg, are creatures embodying body horror and psychological unease. They often feature grotesque transformations or invasions of the human body by external or internal forces, blurring the line between human and monster. These entities symbolize fears about technological excess, loss of identity, and the fragile nature of the human body. Typically seen in horror and sci-fi genres, they evoke discomfort by depicting bodily decay, fusion, or mutation, challenging viewers' perceptions of physical integrity and human essence. Cronenberg monsters serve as allegories for modern anxieties about the body, technology, and identity.
