The series' title card.
Status: Existence Unconfirmed
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is an animated series made by Klasky-Csupo (creators of Rugrats) that ran from 1994-1997 on Nickelodeon. The series stars juvenile monsters Ickis, Oblina and Krumm, who live under a landfill and attend a school for monsters wherein they learn how to scare humans on the surface.
TV Film
A year after the show's run ended, it was reported that there was a TV film in the works, but ended up cancelled for being "too dark" for its intended audience.[1] Whether it was to serve as the series finale is unknown, as no footage or any other production material from the film has since resurfaced. The few mentions of the project come almost entirely from online forum users questioning its existence, with the earliest being a user from a 2004 Toonzone forum thread who claimed he read about it on the now-defunct website Movietome.com.[2]
Another possible if confusing bit of info comes from a (now-deleted) section of the Aaahh!!! Real Monsters's Wikipedia page, wherein a supposed animator on the project named Fredrick Zowski is quoted as saying:
"The film was cancelled because Viacom bought Paramount. The film wasn't dark... nor were we planning on making it in the first place."
As this was not sourced to any prior publication, and indeed no other trace of an animator by that name can be found online, the quote is almost certainly fake.

As of January 2022 the only other information on the project is a brief mention in a book released in 2010 titled Cancelled Films (Film Guide).[3]
