While for each person, the month of October means different things, I believe that for the majority, it's the time for spookiness and, of course, Halloween. And this celebration simply wouldn't be as fun without the movies that go along with it. But before you rush to watch Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, Beetlejuice and whatnot, we advise you to have a look at these one-panel comics!
For this article, we've selected the funniest works depicting horror movies in a parallel universe by Mark Parisi. In the series, the artist skillfully reveals what a scary film for animals and things would be like. So, scroll down for some Halloweeny entertainment!
It's not the first time we have showcased Mark's comics. For more of his work, check out our previous articles by clicking here and here.

Bored Panda got in touch with Mark to get to know more about him and his creative process. The artist shared that October is his favorite time to cartoon because he gets to draw monsters all month. "There are werewolves, vampires, witches, Frankenstein monsters, mummies, ghosts, creatures from the black lagoon, Godzillas, monsters under the bed, you name it. There's something undeniably appealing to me about combining scary with fun. Scary movies are a favorite subject of mine, and half the joy is doing facial expressions on the audience. Halloween is also about costumes and candy and bats and pumpkins so there's a never-ending source of fun ideas."

Mark has drawn cartoons since he can remember. "I've explored other types of art but have always known I'm a cartoonist at heart. I live for combining words and drawings to tell a funny story. My goal is always to get a laugh or at least a smile. I'm not sure I would even draw at all if I couldn't use humor."

"As a child, monsters were one of my favorite things to draw because you couldn't get them wrong. If you're inventing a monster, you can make it look any way you want. There can be 12 eyes and a single strand of hair. Anything goes!"
