Happy Halloween, Monster Children! Your host, Vinnie Kami, returns to introduce another classic monster tale–but not his disgruntled butler, Kappa Joe! No, Joe gave himself the night off and sent his carnivorous Gen Z slang-speaking plant, “Violet,” to fill in for him. It’s apropos, because this episode’s story is “Green Thoughts” by John Collier, which inspired 1960’s The Little Shop of Horrors<\/em>, which led to an off-Broadway musical in the early 1980s, and finally to a 1986 film adaptation of the musical directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis. The reader is the Monster Island Legal Action Team’s very own Gary Steward, who bears a striking resemblance to Seymour from the musical. But<\/em> this is assuming Mr. Kami can decipher what \u201cVi\u201d is saying without an ancient tome to translate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
