Description: A helter skelter haunted house adventure, [this animated film] manifests a blazingly hallucinatory metamorphosis in which characters appear from nowhere, interact, and vanish as suddenly into the warp of an elastic specetime. Set to music by Oingo Boingo's Danny Elfman (composer of the score for Batman), the film pauses halfway to allow Cruikshank to pay homage to Cab Calloway and the great Betty Boop cartoons of Max Fleischer ... A kind of joyous trip to Hades - apparently the basement of a shopping mall - that comes across as a paradise in hot tropical colors and is populated with adorably ferocious creatures.
