      There’s monster girls in the scene where they’re tormenting the baby and when they’re destroying things with baseballs and stuff. Watch it again.

      A parallel of the protagonist; probably a former child, or manchild, who wanted to avoid all responsibility, so escaped to the underworld below his bed and embraced a life of monster-dom.

    One of my childhood favorites. This and Walk Like a Man.

    I think those two movies are probably why he became OCD. Lots of gross out moments in those two films. Being a kid in the 80/90s was cozy. Sleeping bag on the floor in the living room watching kino all weekend.

    Because back then...

    *cracks open Monster*

    *looong sip*

    A fricking ton of movies got released that did moronic numbers. Not everything was supposed to be a rocketship to the moon. Lots of shit got swallowed that later, like when it got on HBO, we'd be like "shit, what was that?"

    The Last Crusade, Batman, BTTF 2, Born On The Fourth Of July, Ghostbusters 2, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, all released that year. Sometimes something a little small and off like Little Monsters just got swallowed up.

        Movie is about a young boy being led into an underground world by an older guy where you can do whatever you want and your parents never have to know.

          It's not an older guy, it's a monster who's supposed to be a kid too. Just like Artie from Pete & Pete is a superhero. Just like Doc Brown is an old inventor who hired Marty to do odd jobs and ended up some kind of granpa figure.
          Were you guys raped as kids? Is that why you ruin everything? It's a movie. The audience is kids and the plot demands adults set stuff in motion, you can't have a teenager invent time travel

            THEMES AND IMAGERY:

            Strange man-child (Maurice) stealing a young boy away to a world where "no one tells you what you can't do." Parents mustn't be told.

            The stolen child is from a broken (breaking) home and is looking for a friend when he is taken advantage of.

            The boy is taken under the pretense of friendship, but is eventually meant to be given to another, even stranger man-child (Boy). Boy, by the way, wears a schoolboy outfit with knee-high socks. He also wears a young face to hide a literal monster underneath.

            Even assuming Maurice and the other Little Monsters are children, they are rounding up other innocent children to be used and abused by the only two adults in their world, Snick and Boy.

            Brian only sees how awful their world is when they try to abuse a baby right in its crib, and refuse to stop.

            Boy kidnaps Brian's little brother Eric and keeps him obviously drugged and in a box. When Brian refuses to submit, he tosses him into a box as well.

            The villains can only be defeated by "shining a light" on them and their actions.

              MAURICE: Why doesn't Boy just play with himself?

              SNICK: You bring a kid in here, and tell him our secrets! If you can't get him, I will!

              MAURICE: Where there's a bed there's a way.
