Description The first episode of my series.

A friend is putting together some original music for the opening and to replace the "Dinosaurs" theme (I don't really want copyrighted materials in it, as fantastic as the Dinosaurs theme is and all)

I'll also be adding actual lip synch, a preloader, and then it'll be ready for, uh, well, nothing really. I'm not putting it on newgrounds, they suck. Maybe when I'm a few episodes in or something.

The monsters in this first ep are comically generic, but future episodes will have all-original creatures in my typical style.

That's great! I honestly wasn't expecting that. I mean, your 2D art is good, but very few people can make good flash cartoons. And this is good animation, voices, good humor, and some semblence of a plot. That defeats the vast majority of flash cartoons on the Internet. And by the way, I laughed out loud 6 times. I especially liked the Dracula Christmas movie dialog, the Power Rangers parody, and the mummy with the Velma clone's Hello Kitty panties. Brilliant stuff! I hope the other cartoons maintain this standard of excellence.

A couple questions: What's that music that plays at the beginning? It seems familiar, like maybe from an old video game. Also, who did the voices? I would have guessed you did them all yourself, but the Velma clone sounds like she was definitely voiced by a chick.

Oh and in case you're wondering why I didn't watch "The Fear Hole" before, my computer couldn't handle flash animation until I got it more R.A.M. a month ago, and then I forgot "The Fear Hole" existed for a while.

The music was made by someone just for the cartoon, and her voice is just my voice with the pitch artificially increased

I think the episodes get way better than this one

Yeah I've gotten a lot of "she sounds HOT, do you have pics?"

Not as creepy as the fact that I can actually do the voice WITHOUT changing the pitch on my computer, but it's just easier to talk naturally and then change it.

Well actually I just wanted a Colon monster and I couldn't think of any other way to draw one. He's meant to look like a rubbery sock puppet

The Creeping Colon is my new hero. I just love his voice (which means you have to do that if we ever meet up again), and his mouth. Sigh... these guys need to be action figures.

I like the subtle jokes sprinkled throughout..my favorite is the tyrant in the tank that the werewolf was going to ....desecrate...Or smash, hehe, No wonder that tyrant stabbed Albert Wesker throught the heart when it woke up!

and the professor's PJs? I laughed so Hard! Thumbs up!

The creeping colons voice reminds me of the one that handicapped kid on south park. I liked it and how its.. mouth.. opening.. spoke O-o
The two human-ISH professers were fun too. I can't beleive you did all of that animation and voice and stuff.. must have been a good deal of work. You've gotten really good at flash.

suberb, I think I can say you have truely outdone yourself on this. From the graphics to the voicework to the basic plot, it's brilliant and allready has a nostalgic feel to it. I really like these characters (because they have a lot of individual character), the professor in his pokemon pj's was awesome. Looking really forward to future installments. Oh, and what's wrong with newgrounds? Lots of people come there for their daily flash, sure the crits are sometimes childish but who reads those anyways.
+ fav, as should you all!!! all!!!

Well, I'm exaggerating a bit. I just don't see much reason to bother with NG until I've gotten a tad better at animating and a few more episodeses.

YES, IT'S PUBLIC NOW! YES YES YES need to faaav. You already know very well how much I love this, mainly from my dribbling on AIM. And yes, BBH put it perfectly about Weaponry's voice, though: if you didn't say that was you making the voice, I would have totally thought you had a ladyfriend voicing that part.

I have already told you how great I think this cartoon is, though the fact that I find your voice (when playing the female) slightly alluring is somewhat disconcerting... Can't wait to see more.

And the killer hand! And the KILLER eye (which is more recent, and truly twisted) and the killer tongue (which is also recent, never seen it, but I hear it's preposterous) and my all-time favorite, FIEND WITHOUT A FACE! I was absolutely floored when I saw this: [link]

I check every other day to see if they're available for sale yet (they're just "coming soon"). They have a bunch of other puppets/props of horror movie monsters too, including some clowns and evil dolls.

I would "HAZARD" a guess that you've also seen 'This Island Earth' to0 also as well. Remember the "Mute-Ant" (as Exoder pronounces it)? I loved that thing when I was a kid!

I have the figure of him and a big-headed mini one. Official name is "Metaluna Mutant", but I like to pronounce it Exoder's way too.
