Contest: ENTER SF&F Avatar contest--(Not so) Scary Monsters and Silly Creeps

[the G-man]

Thanks for all who voted in the last poll.

Continuing the Halloween theme, this week's contest is devoted to classic style monsters (Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, ghosts, etc.) playing comedy roles in movies and/or TV shows. From Abbott and Costello meeting Frankenstein to Beetlejuice.

Special rules: Intentional comedy, that is. Not "so bad it's funny" stuff (sorry, Ed Wood fans). Also, no aliens, human serial killers or the like.

Usual rules: 200 x 200 pixels max, 1 MB max and Google/work safe. You may enter up to 3

Contest will go up in about a week, due to the Monday holiday in the U.S. and Canada (and anywhere else of which I am unaware).

Good luck everybody.

The Dr. was named Frankenstein, the monster was Frankenstein's monster.


If this counts...

I'm tempted to discount it for pedantry but, yeah, it's a TV show with a comedy version of a classic monster so it counts.

It is literally a different property. The source of the entry from @theenglish is the 1976 TV show "Monster Squad":

While they share the same title (aside from "The") and include versions of classic monsters, they are very seperate and also quite different approaches to these characters.

I've added written clarification on what my entry represents, just to avoid further confusion.

That's interesting. I thought the movie was a remake of the series.

Oh, OK. I thought it was two avatars from the same movie. Carry on.
