Press release on "Monsters, Inc."....

[Anthonynotes]

....apparently lumped in with stuff on Halloween costumes (SpongeBob Squarepants is a popular costume? Then again, I've never even seen this show....):

Interesting that the "old school" movie monster costumes (Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, the Wolfman, etc.) are doing that well, though with the success of "The Mummy Returns", I suppose there's still life in the old guys (well, er, maybe not the Mummy and Dracula, both technically being dead and all, but, er, well....ah, forget it!! Stupid metaphors... :-)

Oh, boy. Spongebob Square pants a popular costume. Just what I wanted to see...a bunch of little kids walking around on Halloween letting their pants fall down voluntarilly. Jesus, come quickly.

"Monsters, Inc." looks like a great movie, I can't wait until it comes out.

Monsters, Inc. certainly has potential-this is from Pixar, whom I believe are hard-working people.

Ah...the classic monsters will always reign, year after year polls state them to be popular. Which is good, because Halloween won't be the same without them-who wants to have a new, pernament costume associated with Halloween be Invader Zim or Scar from the Lion King?

But as for Spngebob, all he needs is a costume of his friend Patrick so little tots can go trick-or-treating together! Oh, Spongebob is actually a decent cartoon, actually.

There was an animated direct-to-video/TV movie made a few years ago (animated by DiC I believe) where the Wolfman, Frankenstein, and Dracula are semi-retired and must (by orders from some monster tribunal) to try to prove that they're still relevant monsters (vs. their competition, the "new batch" of monsters, who were parodies of Chucky, the Alien from "Alien", and a guy who was a combo of Freddy Krueger/Jason) by scaring some yahoo family. They try showing the family their old monster movies, but the kids dismiss them due to being "hokey"/"in black and white". Of course, the classic monsters avenge themselves, and show the new guys (and the kids that dismissed them) that they're still cool/scary...
