Interview With Artist
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!

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."
"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!"
OMG-shades of Pratchett's Feet Of Clay book. The scenes where the Golems freed themselves and got into the butcher shop. Attacked the apprentice and 'made use of the sausage and onion, if you catch my meaning'.
In addition to the award-winning Off the Mark, which Mark has done for 35 years now, the artist has lines of greeting cards in various stores, and a middle-grade book series with HarperCollins called Marty Pants. He also has a book that he co-authored with Kim Tomsic called The Truth About 5th Grade, which is due out in the summer of 2023.
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.
There's always the one that goes into another dimension (along with the Tupperware lids).
I find this funny cause in the movie it’s not really tangled it’s just long haired girl who takes care of it! So I like this one cause it actually stands up to the title!
we actually adopted a kitten last week and all our animals are doing pretty okay so far, she has the bathroom to herself and she's not allowed upstairs yet, and it still limited time out of the bathroom. They get fed together. Hopefully the a*****e one will like her soon, he's doing better than we thought tho! (we officially have 4 cats, and 2 dogs)

I was worried this would get stale since it's all practically the same joke, but most of these are really creative and found another way to make me laugh
These are almost all just the same joke with different things as the audience.
