Their sole intention is to wake the most frightening, horrific and disgraceful creature known to man!

Guided by Frank and McStein’s eminent colleagues and their team of Igors, work your way through the 6 fire-powered and interactive stations, earn yourself power-up tokens and feed them into the MONSTER-O-METER. The MONSTER-O-METER will grant the life force needed to awaken THE CREATURE!!!
