FREDDY SPAGHETTI MONSTER MASH SERIES
I’m far from an Extreme Ghostbusters expert, but if the rest of the series is anything like this episode, I want to eat it like cake. Freddy DeSpagetti is a total showstopper. The fork-and-spoon fingers and spaghetti strainer mask might be gags, but goddamn, it’s a great look!īest of all, his body is composed of what appears to be extra thick spaghetti, but is eventually revealed as an endless army of hideous alien snake things. like Freddie DeSpagetti! He’s joined by iffy imitations of Chucky and a Xenomorph, which reads like a plot description but is really just my hard sell for Monster Mash.įreddie’s meant to be humorous, but I can’t get over how cool he looks.
The story is clever, with classic monsters like “Drac” and “Frank” (the good guys, here) being pushed aside for more modern manglers…. Monster Mash is kinda cute and certainly worth more than its perpetual placement in $5 DVD bins suggests, but make no mistake, Freddie DeSpagetti is the definitive reason to see it. It sounds goofy and it is, but it works amazingly well. Interestingly, in what was probably a side tribute but could also be read as a faux pas, Eddy’s introductory shot was punctuated by the “ki ki ki ma ma ma” sound from Friday the 13th!īased on: Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruegerįrom the direct-to-everything movie, Monster Mash, here’s Freddie DeSpagetti, who combines Freddy Krueger with Jason Voorhees with motherfuckin’ PASTA. The plug is mercifully pulled before we see Eddy eviscerate a cartoon doe, but it isn’t long before he returns… in Plucky’s dreams, of course, much like the real Freddy Krueger would.Įddy was a pretty on-the-nose reference, with a voice that even seemed to mimic Robert Englund’s. During a first season episode, Buster and Plucky are at the tail end of a sleepover, but Plucky refuses to say goodnight until he’s watched all of the 42,000 horror videos they’d rented.Įddy Cougar starred in one of them, and if you could imagine a crossover between A Nightmare on Elm Street and Bambi, this was it. The Tinklemeisters soon end up assisting Drac, Frank, and Wolf into proving that they are still scary, even when the Grim Reaper (the prosecutor of the Superior Court of Horror) sends three new monsters consisting of Freddie de Spaghetti, King of Carbohydrates (a humanoid spaghetti monster based on Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees), Chicky the Doll of Destruction (a wind-up toy based on Chucky), and the Alien Eater to make sure that they all fail in their mission.It’s common enough to see spoofs of old school monsters like Dracula and the Wolf Man, but what about the newer creeps? Actually, modern horror icons see homages more often than you might think!īelow: Five times a modern monster was spoofed in a cartoon.įreddy Krueger + an anthropomorphized cougar = Eddy Cougar, a one-and-done character from Tiny Toon Adventures. Drac, Frank, and Wolf are assigned to scare the Tinklemeister family. They end up summoned by the Superior Court of Horrors, where the judge orders them to prove that they are still scary by the end of 24 hours or they will be sentenced to an eternity entertaining at children's parties. Monster Mash is a 2000 direct to Video film based on the song of the same name.ĭrac, Frank, and Wolf were the scariest monsters around, until they became associated with fun.
