A.S.P.C.M. Plan Another FRIGHT NIGHT Protest at the Warner Grand this Sunday Creeps and Imps Refuse to Give Up Fight for Their Rights LOS ANGELES, CA—Citing the producers’ disrespect and the audience’s cruel enjoyment of all their hard work and low pay, (dis)members of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (A.S.P.C.M.) will return to picket the Warner Grand Theater at 2 p.m. this Sunday, September 6, in a desperate bid to improve the working and unloving conditions for monsters employed by the slave drivers at FRIGHT NIGHT. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a scientist whose experiment has given you the head of a bloodsucking flea or if you’re a prehistoric fish-woman that lives on raw screaming flesh, the humans at Fright Night are going to work you to the bone,” said a Fright Night monster employee who preferred not to be named. “They charge low admissions because they pay us so little. Then they work us all night, when we should be out haunting and marauding.” Asked why he didn’t leave the detestable job, the monster simply said, “What? And give up show business?” Human audiences (known to our monster readers as “foolish mortals”) seem to love watching these exhausted, utterly broke monsters and creatures working away for their amusement. “They scream, laugh, and applaud,” said another monster, “but where are our pus breaks? When do we get to completely devour an audience member? Why can’t we bring our coffins lined with the soil of our homelands? It’s not much we ask, but they won’t give us anything.” One of the zombies that’s been on the Fright Night picket line the longest summed it all up with these poignant, heart(s)-rending words: “Hhhhhhhhuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhh mrrrrblllgggg… ccchhhhhaaaaasss…. Drblggb.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. The next protest of Fright Night will be at the historic Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro this Sunday, September 6, at 2 p.m. Which side will you be on? How will history record YOUR contribution to the rights of Monster-Americans? Don’t be one of the oppressors!

A.S.P.C.M. Vows To Protest FRIGHT NIGHT at the Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro
Ghouls and the Walking Dead Plan A Protest For This Sunday August 23rd, 2009.
LOS ANGELES, CA—Fiends and horrors belonging to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (A.S.P.C.M.) have sworn to stage another protest of the return of Fright Night to the historic Warner Grand Theater. “They charge the living public only $13 for two monstrous movies, one great band, vendors, a raffle, and striptease by the luscious Miss Bonnie Delight,” said an A.S.P.C.M. spokesmonster, “but we monsters end up overworked and underpaid. We’re picketing for justice!”
The haunted theater expects to be plagued by a creepy picket line, Sunday, August 23, 2009, at 2pm, and “as often as it takes to get our point across – if you know what I mean,” said the A.S.P.C.M.’s furry and nauseating spokesmonster. However, Fright Night founder, producer, and host Noah Korda was unmoved.
“We will not negotiate with horrorists,” Korda said. “Fright Night is bringing back the great old-fashioned American spookshow, with all the ghastly fun you could ask for. The monsters are just going to have to work overtime. The public loves it!”
Co-producer Richard Becker added, “If we get even bigger crowds, with our deals for groups and birthday parties, we may have to get monsters to work the non-graveyard shift, too.”
The A.S.P.C.M. reps just shook their heads – both attached and detached – and prepared signs with slogans such as “Hell No, We Won’t Groan” and “Fright Night Ain’t Right.” Sipping a cup of fresh blood, the A.S.P.C.M. spokesmonster simply said, “We’ve got rights, too. We’re going to protest. This is inhuman!”
An organization to protect monsters’ rights
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (A.S.P.C.M.) was founded in the 19th century as an offshoot of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (R.S.P.C.M.) and the Transylvanian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (T.S.P.C.M.). The A.S.P.C.M. is dedicated to preventing the abuse of monsters of all kinds, from the smallest imp or goblin to the largest nuclear-powered mutant dinosaur or space-going nebula-amoeba. Learn more about the A.S.P.C.M. and its mission at www.aspcm.org and get involved.
A historic site — and center of creepy controversy
Fright Night happens every month at one of L.A.’s great theatrical treasures, the historic Warner Grand Theater. Opened in 1931 and designed for film and vaudeville shows, the Warner Grand was billed as “The Castle of Your Dreams,” with a beautiful art deco design that is lovely from the outside and astounding on the inside. Built by the Pantages chain, the theater was in decline for some years until historians, preservationists, and the city of Los Angeles worked together to preserve it.
