What The Hell is "Monstrosity?"

It's kind of strange for me to realize that Tim Burton has now been around for so long that it's time for film students to add him to the "stylistic homage" pool, but there ya go. With that in mind, below you'll find what is apparently the "teaser" for a movie called "Monstrosity" which appears to be - I shit you not - a mashup of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Dragon Wars."



As near as I can determine, the premise here is that Earth and a planet of Monsters (which looks more like Planet Halloween, actually) get fused together somehow. The director is Colton Tran, who (again, near as I can determine) is a youngish dude mainly doing shorts and spoofs on the YouTubes, and the film itself is a feature(?) extrapolation of an earlier short called "Unpleasantville," which appears to be an Addams/Munsters riff with a kiddie/Halloween aesthetic.

For what it's worth, the project's "official site" can be found HERE. Anyone who may have a better idea of what the hell it is I'm looking at here is invited to tell me ;)
