Just in time for the Halloween season, everyone’s favourite 90’s monsters get a revival! AAAHHH!!! REAL MONSTERS: SEASON 1 is out on DVD today, with all of the hilarious and spooky humor in tact.
For those too young to remember, or to young to even know, the show followed the life and times of Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm, three young monsters making their way through monster school. The school is under the city dump in the middle of town, of course. The episodes were usually all about the three monsters surfacing above the dump, trying to scare humans. Of course, this usually got themselves into wacky situations, usually involving Simon the Monster Hunter.
The two disc set features the first 13 episodes of the first season! For the cult fans, we’ve compiled some fun facts about the series that we bet you didn’t know:
– AAAHHH!!! REAL MONSTERS was done by the same production company as RUGRATS and DUCKMAN
– The Beatles 1968 classic film YELLOW SUBMARINE was a huge inspiration behind the character design
– One of the shows creators, Gábor Csupó, said that elements of the show were meant to have a “film noir genre” feel
