What if the ugly; horrific monster; hidden within ourselves, represents our own ignorance? What if the few use entertainment (enter tame mind) to mirror the behavior of the many? Why? Maybe to wash their hands of responsibility by a sleight of hand of what's going on; or maybe to offer a justification for the ignorant to stay ignorant in reality; by living it out through fiction?
Or what if it's both? Inspiration (need) and information (want) supplied within fiction to prevent consent to the same within reality...a middleman suggestion to prevent comprehension to tap the source of reality?
Bonus: "The Thing" aka Kurt Russel...Russel equals Raziel aka the keeper of secrets. Look into that aspect.
