Abercrombie Von Housing aka Crom (Creep Creepersin) is the president of
the Monster Killers Club, and also its special agent and sole
member. Mostly he spends his time with investigating supernatural
occurences that are not too supernatural on closer inspection, help kids
against the (imaghined) monsters in ther closets - though most of the
times, he freaks out the kids more than he calms them down -, or chase
aliens off someone's lawn - though the aliens are invariably of the
illegal variety doing yardwork whom the lawnowners have suddenly decided
no to pay. To put it bluntly, Crom is a bit of a failure, but he sees it
differently, so he has hired a cameraman to document his exploits ... Anyways,
even a man like Crom attracts a woman eventually, Pam (Nikki Wall), who
dresses like a pirate for no apparent reason, and who lures him into her
apartment telling him she thinks it's haunted by a poltergeist - but the
poltergeist turns out to be her roommate Mindy (Cheryl Sands) having sex
with other men while her boyfriend Jett Jaguar (Buz Wallick) is out
sleepwalking. All that doesn't sound especially supernatural or occult
or anything, but Crom soon suspects Mindy of being a succubus, collecting
sperm of her ever-changing lovers in a tupperware under her bed. And he
suspects Jett Jaguar to be a sleepwalking cannibalistic zombie - and
amazingly he is proven right on both accounts (maybe the first time in his
life) and finds out he even has a nemesis, the Evil Wong (Charlie Vaughn),
a Caucasian desperately but not very convincingly trying to pass as Asian. For
some reason though, while all this is going on, Crom totally misses to
notice that Pam is constantly visited by dead people, and she gives them
whatever, just as if they were her kids. The show (or at least the first
season) ends on a bang when Crom and Pam follow sleepwalking Jett Jaguar
one night to witnessing him attacking, killing and eating several people
before being gunned down by the police. Then ...

Creep Creepersin as Crom |
M.K.C.:
Monster Killers Club is a fun little series: Very obviously made on a
shoestring and mainly in cast and crew's homes and neighbourhood, with
rather little care put into artsy camera setups of perfect lighting, the
whole series seems to rather show friends having fun trying to bring a few
(sometimes quite hilarious) ideas across. And despite quite a few
shortcomings - the shaky camera and documentary-style filmmaking gets on
your nerve after a while, the acting's a bit uneven, less focus on Crom
would actually help the story, ... - the fun is infectuous to the
audience. Granted, it's better not to expect Citizen Kane when
watching this one, but grab a few mates and a few beers and you will be
greatly entertained.
By the way, the series can be found (for free) on www.dreadcentral.com
- it's hidden somewhere under Videos though and might be a bit
difficult to find ...
