Monsters, Inc.

I was a huge fan of the "X-Files". But it wasn't the government cover-ups or myriad of alien takeovers that tickled my fancy...

...It was the monsters.

The forest creature, with glowing red eyes, that hunted its victims during the daylight hours...Leonard Betts, the cancer victim who could regenerate his appendages...Rob Roberts, the man with an unhealthy addiction to human brains...Chester Banton, a physicist, whose shadow is pure dark matter...or Flukman, the sewer-dwelling survivor of a nuclear waste dump gone horrendously wrong.

Those episodes gave me goosebumps. They were episodes that made you run, jump in your bed, and hide under the covers. But then, slowly, you began to realize it was just a TV show--and those fictitious "monsters" simply don't exist...

...Or maybe they just live under your bed.
