Werewolves and vampires are a bunch of wusses. In fact, most of the monsters you see in movies and read about in books are pretty substandard. Take vampires for instance. It’s hard to find something that can’t hurt them. You have sunlight, garlic, wooden stakes, crosses, holy water, fire, silver, beheading, running water, roses, etc… The list goes on and on. Worst of all, they have to ask your permission to let them come into your house to kill you. It’s surprising they don’t all die from cancer after turning to smoke.
No, if you’re looking for a monster for the new millennium, you have to go with a slider. They’re arrogant, a little self centered and they can turn into giant snakes. They might have a flaw or two. They eat people instead of veggies. They listen to classic rock bands. And, they have a compulsion for computer games. But, that doesn’t mean they are all bad. If you tack on an unfortunate name, an indigestible new girlfriend, a vampire to beat up on and a good old fashioned monster hunt, you come away with quite a little adventure.
Constantly running into strange and interesting monsters, the small group comes up against the worst monster imaginable, the wife. Well, she’s more fiendish in person than the name suggests.
