(A Halloween Extravaganza we did with some friends just for fun)
It was a costume party! Godzilla, Mothra, King Kong, King Ghidara, Pikachu (and all the other PocketMonsters), Ash, Sailor Moon, Frankenstein, Count Dracula and all their friends got together for an epic evening of stomping, snorting and snacking!… Not to mention repeatedly destroying our very own downtown Tokyo… all recorded in glorious !
The Theme was Japanese Science Fiction (any costume was welcome, though, since Japanese SF, Horror and Anime have used every possible classic monster as well as actors in big rubber suits and cute kids and creatures with magical powers — and there was always room for another terrified villager or city dweller).
Produced by Kevin Roche, Karen Tully, James Kaufman, Anne Kaufman, and the city of Tokyo
