Both shorts follow the same trajectory: a rubber-masked monster (Nosferatu or Tor Johnson, take your pick) terrorizes Chicago bar Delilah’s and the Monster Bash picnic, Detective Rock refuses to believe said monster’s existence (mostly while talking on the phone), and barrels of food go down the ol’ tubes. If you’re a Nelson fan, Nosferatu Bites and Tor Terrorizes will feel familiar. Monster Tales is one for three in terms of twinkles. But when he captures a beautiful moment of surreal spooky magic while shooting in a real cemetery, I get twinkles in my eyes. When the Rock eats doughnuts while yelling at the camera for ten minutes, I pass out. The formula is simple: the weirder, the better. Since this is my fifth David “The Rock” Nelson video experience, I now consider myself an expert on what makes his films successful for the viewer. Hosted by Nelson in a haunted cemetery (aka his long-suffering basement), Monster Tales presents three gonzo shorts from 2002: Nosferatu Bites (40 mins.), Tor Terrorizes (50 mins.), and War of the Werewolves aka Werewolf vs. The library in question is one that I actually frequent.
Inside, he terrorizes the employees, who are assembling an art exhibit.
David “The Rock” Nelson flails around in a Tor Johnson mask and enters a Chicago library like a hurricane.
