Fictional Monsters
Captain Kronos
The Captain's "flesh-colored" tights often make him appear bare-legged in a tunic miniskirt, especially in that scene when he's on horseback.

Woodsy Owl
Woodsy in the 70s, the 80s and the 90s. The newest look is horrifying, in my opinion, like some creature from THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU.

More Giants!
Pitiless beautiful-people giants stalk and dominate mere mortals, making our helpless planet and civilization their careless playground.
And that makes me want to use your airline?

Jack’s Dream
Until recently, I was not aware that the famous surrealist collage artist Joseph Cornell also made films. Here's one delightfully weird sample. Many more on YouTube.

Follies of the Mad Men #188
Subtext: our arcane, byzantine loan policies are as horrifying and deadly as this nausea-inducing hybrid nightmare creature we chose as our new mascot.

Horror Express
If you like the cheesy trailer in the first window, you can watch the whole movie in the second.
The real "horror" of course is Christopher Lee's Disco-NFL Mustache!
