Synopsis

For decades movie fans have debated over who’s the greatest monster of all. Could a werewolf take down Frankenstein? Are zombies stronger than vampires? Finally, with Jesse T. Cook’s crowd-pleasing new horror-action-comedy MONSTER BRAWL, fans are going to find out in the greatest battle royale of all time! An awesome mash-up of classic monster movies and televised wrestling, MONSTER BRAWL features a roll call of cult icons from Cyclops to Frankenstein (played by 300’s Robert Maillet), the hilarious double act of commentators Dave Foley (KIDS IN THE HALL) and Art Hindle (BLACK CHRISTMAS), narration by fan fave Lance Henriksen (ALIENS), WWF icon Jimmy Hart as ringside announcer, all under the watchful gaze of respected Mixed Martial Arts referee Herb Dean! A fitting way to kick off Toronto After Dark 2011, MONSTER BRAWL is a one-of-a-kind cinematic event for both horror and wrestling fans, that is simply not to be missed!
