WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 97 – Toy of Terror / Sea Monster
What’s up WOD Watchers?
We’re back for another Monday of the macabre. We’re already on episode 97. Can you believe this? Episode 100 is almost here and we have something special planned for you. Today’s episode doesn’t really have a theme, so let’s just dive right into the goods.
First, director Peter Murfet brings us his short film, TOY OF TERROR. This one is about a man who can’t seem to get through a full night of sleep because his creepy cotton companion won’t stop staring at him while moving around on its own. He does everything he can to contain the little bugger so he can get through the night and return to some sort of normalcy with his routine. This is a fun film with a little comedy mixed in. I still think Chucky would kick this little stuffed bunny’s ass, but this isn’t Celebrity Deathmatch. I don’t want to spoil the ending, but trust me when I say it’s a bullseye!
Next, we have a short coming to us from Aruba called SEA MONSTER by Clay Mara. I wish I could give a better plot synopsis for this one, but I’m a little thrown off myself. It’s a claymation film centered around an underwater sea creature at odds with a vicious mermaid looking thing. I don’t know what I’m looking at half the time, but it’s definitely interesting to watch! The clay work and artistry is really commendable and definitely makes you feel something. The music going along with it is super dark and ominous, creating an underwater terror-dome. Assuming it’s an original score, it’s well done. Personally, I still love seeing filmmakers and artists come together and take the time and effort to put a piece like this together. People can quit half way through on such a daunting task and churn out something looking like Wallace and Vomit, but not here. It all comes full circle.
Roll it!

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
