I had the misfortune of seeing this in the theatre.

I thought it was pretty good.

Well, Mr. Contrary, I'm shocked by your admission.

Purgatory is waiting for Mark, and it's going to be an endless double feature of Little Monsters and Jason Goes to Hell.

Hahahahaha, maybe I'll revisit Jason Goes to Hell one day and be amazed that I've been living in the dark for so long.

I recently found the NOW Comics Little Monsters mini series.

[Alex K. Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Alex K.]

I'm not surprised. How is the comic because I like NOW's Fright Night and the few Terminator comics they did.

Liked this as a kid, but I'm not sure about the likelihood of now...

I was haunted by this movie as a kid. The idea of A) Apple juice being switched for pee an B) Turning into a monster again your will, AKA puberty, scared me to no end.

I watched this on Prime last week, and it held up pretty well. Fun movie with some good makeup work.

I read the novelization of this movie as a kid. I never saw the movie.
