The official restoration team of classic Fleischer Studios cartoons! Their mission is to collect all the Fleischer cartoons that remain today, gather them into a single digital space and restore them so they can be seen by audiences as Max Fleischer intended. The films will ultimately be made available to everyone and be preserved for all time. This project was started in 2021 by Max Reid, Jane Fleischer Reid and Mauricio Alvarado. Jane is the granddaughter of Max Fleischer.

Screen Novelties was formed in 2003 by Mark Caballero, Seamus Walsh, and Christopher Finnegan with the goal of bringing the whimsy and dynamism of classic cartoons into the realm of stop motion animation. We have a studio in Los Angeles full of fabric, feathers, foam, and glitter. Screen Novelties is also home to a talented circle of freelance animators, sculptors, designers, photographers, and digital artists.

Lead by a Worlock from a cave deep within the earth, The Midnite Monster Show Band manifests in this dimension on earth every 100 years to haunt mortals for a ghoulish time.

LA's own comedian magician and mentalist!

Laffy, or Mr. Pants, has entertained absolutely everyone, everywhere in his long and illustrious career. You may have seen him anywhere from handing out balloons at a used car lot to signing autographs on the red carpet for his latest big Hollywood blockbuster. Getting pied by this bozo is like being christened by the gods of laughter themselves. Enjoy!

The Frankenstand is a haunted hot dog stand in Los Angeles, CA. serving 100% vegan haunt dogs. It was a dark and stormy night when the creator, Ray, was hit by a bolt of lightning and The Frankestand was born. He has been running this crumb castle since 2005 and continues to enjoy serving his frighteningly delicious wares and scares throughout the L.A. community.

A small batch vegan bake and custom cake shoppe bringing you hauntingly beautiful and delicious treats!
