Monsters Aren't Real

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.

Monster(s) #6: Cyborg-Gators from Robo-Gators (2018)

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.

Monster #4: Candle Monster from WAX (2022)

Monster #3: Father of the Forest from Croatoan Trail (2021)

While B23 Studios is typically known for their art house dramas, their occasional forays into comedy and horror have proven nearly 100% successful, such as their critically praised Croatoan Trail from 2021.
