How to Make a Monster Page #2

---

AREN'T TOO COMFORTABLE,

BUT PERHAPS:

THE NEW REGIME:

WILL PROVIDE BETTER CHAIRS

FOR MY WORKSHOP.

YOUR WORKSHOP?

THAT SORT OF BRINGS US

TO THE POINT.

WHAT POINT?

UH, MR. DUMOND,

WE WON'T BE

NEEDING YOU:

AFTER YOU FINISH

THIS PICTURE--

THE ONE YOU'RE

ON NOW.

NOT NEED ME?

YES. MONSTERS

ARE FINISHED.

THEY'RE COMING OUT

OF YOUR EARS.

SATURATION.

A HORROR CYCLE:

IS OVER.

PEOPLE WANT:

TO HEAR MUSIC.

THEY WANT TO LAUGH.

THEY WANT TO SEE

PRETTY GIRLS.

THERE'S NO DOUBT

ABOUT IT,

MONSTERS ARE FINI.

I HEARD THAT:

25 YEARS AGO

WHEN I CREATED:

MY FIRST WEREWOLF.

IT SAVED THE STUDIO

FROM BANKRUPTCY.

NOW, LOOK.

I DIDN'T COME HERE

TO DISCUSS:

THIS THING:

OR TO ARGUE IT:

WITH YOU.

THAT IS THE DECISION

OF THE BIG BRASS.

IT'S MINE, TOO.

YES, BUT...

WELL, IT'S

THE WRONG ONE,

IF I MAY DISAGREE.

WHY, EVEN

PSYCHIATRISTS SAY

THAT IN ALL THESE

MONSTER PICTURES,

THERE'S NOT ONLY

ENTERTAINMENT:

BUT, FOR SOME PEOPLE,

THERAPY.

WELL, YOU KNOW

WE NEVER GET OVER

OUR CHILDHOOD FEARS

OF THE SINISTER--

THE TERRIFYING FACES

WE SEE IN NIGHTMARES.

WELL, THROUGH

THESE PICTURES,

WE CAN LIVE OUT:

OUR HIDDEN FEARS.

IT HELPS.

YOU LIVE THEM OUT,

BUT NOT ON OUR PAYROLL.

LIKE MR. NIXON SAYS,

PEOPLE WANT TO SEE

ESCAPE PICTURES:

NOWADAYS.

MUSICALS, JOKES,

PRETTY GIRLS.

YES, BUT--

THE DECISION:

IS FINAL.

NOW, INSTEAD

OF GIVING YOU:

A COLD PINK SLIP,

I CAME TO TELL YOU

IN PERSON.

IT'S THE HUMAN WAY.

IT CERTAINLY IS.

AND WE'LL ALLOW YOU

A WEEK'S

SEVERANCE PAY.

NO, THANK YOU.

KEEP YOUR SEVERANCE PAY.

I DON'T WANT

YOUR CHARITY.

THIS LOT, THIS ROOM,

HAS BEEN MY HOME

FOR 25 YEARS!

NOW THAT YOU'VE

THROWN ME OUT,

DON'T TRY

TO SOFTEN THE BLOW

WITH A FEW:

CHEAP DOLLARS.

I'LL LEAVE

WHEN THIS PICTURE

IS FINISHED SHOOTING.

OK, IF THAT'S

THE WAY YOU FEEL.

YOU TURNED DOWN MONEY.

MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING

TOO LONG WITH MONSTERS.

SOMETIMES I FIND THEM

BETTER COMPANY:

THAN HUMANS.

PETE, WHAT ARE WE

GOING TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

BUT ONE THING I DO

KNOW FOR SURE--

THEY'RE WRONG,

AND I'M RIGHT!

I'D STAKE MY

VERY LIFE ON THAT.

AND BEFORE:

I LEAVE THIS LOT,

I INTEND TO PROVE

THAT I'M RIGHT.

WEREWOLF.

FRANKENSTEIN.

THEY WANT TO PU AN END TO US.

THEY SAY:

WE'RE THROUGH.

THERE'S GRATITUDE.

DON'T THEY REALIZE

THAT THE MONSTERS

I CREATED,

FROM MY FIRST:

PREHISTORIC MAN:

THROUGH THE SPACE

MAN OF THE FUTURE...

WHY, ALL THESE PAID

FOR THIS STUDIO--

MADE THE OWNERS:

RICH AND FAMOUS.

AND NOW THEY SAY

IT'S OVER.

BUT IT ISN'T OVER.

I'LL DESTROY

THIS STUDIO,

SEE IT GO UP:

IN FLAMES BEFORE I--

NO.

NO, I'LL DESTROY

THEM FIRST.

AND I'LL USE

THE VERY MONSTERS

THEY MOCKED:

TO BRING THEM:

TO AN END.
