The monster was the best friend I ever had.
When I was nine, I played the demon king in "Cinderella" and it launched me on a long and happy life of being a monster.
My wife has good taste. She has seen very few of my movies.

It grossed something like 12 million dollars and started a cycle of so-called boy-meets-ghoul horror films.
