Monster in the Closet
It's Out! It's Out! It's Out!
Directed by Bob Dahlin
Produced by Troma Entertainment
A campy horror-comedy parody that uses a closet monster as an allegory to satirize social anxiety and conformity with irreverent humor and absurdist chaos.
After several people and a dog are found dead in their closets a "mild-mannered" reporter, a college professor, her son and a befuddled professor band together to uncover the mystery but not without involving the U.S. Army and mass panic.
