Monster of the Week

"Monster of the Week" refers to a storytelling format commonly used in TV shows, movies, and role-playing games where each episode or session features a standalone plot centered around a specific supernatural or extraordinary creature or phenomenon. The protagonists, often hunters or investigators, confront and resolve the challenge within that episode, often facing moral dilemmas and uncovering deeper mysteries. This structure emphasizes self-contained stories while sometimes hinting at larger overarching arcs. It's popular for its focus on action, suspense, character development, and the thrill of new, unique threats every time.
