The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles
11-year old monster-movie fan Wen Wyler (aka Waffles) spends the summer in Maine with his grandpa, a former Hollywood makeup and special effects artist for classic horror films (like The Beast with a Thousand Toes, Glaarg!? and its sequel, Glaarg! Again!?). Part of the summer will be spent organizing Grandpa’s basement filled with props. Everything is fine until Wen accidentally brings the props to life! Mummy Man is a good guy, but the other creatures aren’t so good. It’s up to Wen, his new friend Tanya, and Mummy Man (and his pet turtle, Frank) to stop an all-out monster invasion.
