Monster(s) #8: The Booger Boys from Booger Boogey Mansion (1984) and the Japanese original Hanakuso songuhausu (1977)
Today we’re looking back at something different. Booger Boogey Mansion was a failed American attempt at remaking the popular Japanese children’s television series, Hanakuso songuhausu.
Despite the fun costumes, the Booger Boys only got a three episode run before being canned. The choice was made due to abysmal reviews from critics and a viewership that rapidly dropped to a sixth of the original size.
All episodes are lost and reportedly destroyed, leaving only its predecessor or a few promotional pictures behind.

BREAKING: Goldstein-Stein Studios has announced a soft reboot of BLARPY (1996)
Goldstein-Stein Studios is still kicking! While immensely popular in the direct-to-video crowd of the 90s, the studio saw substantial flops after their financial bomb, Blarpy (1996) and its sequel Blarpy's Day Out (1998). The franchise was about an imaginary friend who goes homicidal after his owner breaks up with him.
Blarpy (Monster #5) returns in BLARPY’S REVENGE late 2023.

Monster #7: Grandma-Beast from There's Something Wrong with Grandma (2017)
This magical body horror film brings necromancy into modern day suburbia for a ghoulish showdown at the film's climax! It's sad they couldn't save Grandma, however.

Monster(s) #6: Cyborg-Gators from Robo-Gators (2018)
This fun send-up of sci-fi jungle movies wouldn't have worked if the narrative played completely straight. The key to this film's success was a ridiculous plot with great acting, direction, camerawork, and special effects! Just look at these cyborg gators!

Monster #4: Candle Monster from WAX (2022)
This unique horror flick has more wax covered homes than the House of Wax (2005)!
When an old candlemaker dies after the city council evicts him from his home--the entire town gets coated in layers of wax and candlewicks. Then small malicious creatures start to appear. What are they and how do you stop them?

Fiek Demon from Shadows in the Closet (2017) directed by Courtney Bannon
Don't you love it when a film uses practical monsters? This stringy guy terrified viewers on the indie market when this sleeper hit released in 2017.
Who else remembers the terrifying hands under the bed scene?
