Making some stuff free was also a good idea cause it helped us get rid of the old typewriter, scanner, unused printer and mirrored medicine cabinet that were taking up space in our garage.

Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
