"Rude rodents"

Films: Ratman (1988)

Alias: None

Type: Man-Made

Location: Haunted home

Height/Weight: Half that of an average human.

Summary: Man-monsters come in many forms. Mostly wolves, but you can't fault success However, all those rat movies from this decade probably had a part in inspiring the creation of this horrid little beastie.

History: On a faraway Caribbean island, a bizarre experiment took place. A mad scientist had decided to combine human and rat DNA to create a diminutive man-rat hybrid. However, the beast broke out, and now haunts the area as visitors meet an early demise to it.

Final Fate: The Ratman's fate is not seen, but it is heavily implied that it got into a suitcase and onto a plane. Now it can cause mayhem overseas…

Powers/Abilities: None

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 3-It's essentially like having a razor-toothed toddler coming at you. I know that sounds silly, but toddlers don't immediately leap for your throat and leave you a bloody mess, now do they?

Trivia: -This film was also known as "Terror House".

-Although lab rats are a common trope for even real-life science, they are less frequently used than their mice counterparts.

Aren't women supposed to bring out the best in people like him?!

Always smiling, never washing.

"Mind going to the store? The milk went bad!"
Classy tagline, guys. Wasn't enough to rip off Jaws, apparently.

Should have made a Mouse Girl for compensation.

The tagline makes sense now, at least.
