'''''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters''''' is an American [[animated television series]] developed by [[Klasky Csupo]] for [[Nickelodeon]].<ref name="BLOOMBERG">{{Cite news |last=Byrnes |first=Nanette |date=October 16, 1995 |title=The Rugrats' Real Mom and Dad |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/1995-10-15/the-rugrats-real-mom-and-dad |access-date=3 November 2016 |publisher=[[Bloomberg News]]}}</ref> It is the fifth [[Nicktoons|Nicktoon]] after ''[[Doug (TV series)|Doug]]'', ''[[Rugrats]]'', ''[[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]'' and ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]''. The show focuses on three young monsters—Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm—who attend a school for monsters under a city dump and learn to frighten humans. Many of the episodes revolve around their zany hijinks after making it to the surface in order to perform "scares" as class assignments.<ref name="Mendoza0902" /> The series premiered on October 29, 1994,<ref name="tampa">{{Cite news |date=1994-10-29 |title=Aaahh!

==Plot==
The episodes follow the suspense of Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm, three young monster friends attending a monster school whose headmaster is The Gromble.

The show is set in [[New York City]] where monsters co-exist with humans, demonstrated throughout the series by the presences of the [[Empire State Building]] and the [[Independent Subway System|IND Subway System]], and in the episode "Monster Make-Over" when Ickis refers to himself as "the ugliest, slimiest, razor fanged, sharp clawed, monster menace ''this side of Newark''!" The dump the monsters inhabit is implied to be [[Fresh Kills Landfill]], but never explicitly named in the series. The monster community includes a working economic system using toenails as currency.

==Characters==
[[File:Aaahh!!! Real Monsters cast.jpeg|thumb|250px|upright=1.7|right|The four main characters in ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'' from left to right: The Gromble, Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina.]]

* {{Visible anchor|Ickis}} (voiced by [[Charlie Adler]]) is a small red-violet imp with yellow eyes who is often mistaken for a [[rabbit]] due to his large ears. He is the son of Slickis, a famous scarer. He seems the most skittish of the monsters but is also a capable leader. Ickis looms and grows in size to scare, his eyes turn red and comes from a long line of loomers. Ickis's constant goofing off and blatant disregard for rules are usually the focal point and source of his group's troubles in most episodes. Another running gag in the series is that Ickis nearly exposes the Monster World to humans accidentally, which spells certain doom for monsterkind.
* {{Visible anchor|Oblina}} (voiced by [[Christine Cavanaugh]]) is a black and white striped monster with big red lips, green eyes and black slit-shaped pupils shaped like an upside-down [[candy cane]] who comes from a wealthy monster family and is considered by The Gromble to be his best student. She is the brains of the group. Her methods of scaring humans is reaching within herself and pulling out her internal organs, and she has considerable talent for shapeshifting into various terrifying forms. She also has a talent for inducing nightmares in humans, by sticking her finger in their ear and tickling their brains while they sleep. When voicing Oblina, Christine Cavanaugh attempted to make the voice sound like a British version of the actress [[Agnes Moorehead]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Moore |first=Scott |date=July 20, 1996 |title=Out of the Mouth of 'Babe' |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/tv/1996/07/21/out-of-the-mouth-of-babe/de4c5788-1184-422c-a172-78e30c9b811d/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240623163609/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/tv/1996/07/21/out-of-the-mouth-of-babe/de4c5788-1184-422c-a172-78e30c9b811d/ |archive-date=June 23, 2024 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |department=TV Week |page=Y06}}</ref>
* Krumm (voiced by David Eccles) is an orange-tan partially hairy troll whose eyeballs are not attached to his body, and are usually carried in his hands. If he requires the use of both hands, he can carry them in his mouth. When he sleeps, he keeps his eyes in a glass of water next to his bed. His most valuable tool in scaring is his overwhelming armpit stench, as well as using his eyeballs. A running gag in the series is that Krumm sometimes loses his eyeballs and has to get them back, once going so far as to make a fake head to keep from losing them.
* The Gromble (voiced by [[Gregg Berger]]) is a green-blue nessus with two tufts of hair, four legs, a beard, and a tail. He wears a belt around his waist and a red [[court shoe|pump]] on each of his four feet. While serving as the leader and principal of the dump, The Gromble teaches young monsters and evaluates them using the Viewfinder, a chair like projection device used to replay the scaring activities of students. Along with Ickis, he is one of the few monsters who can hear the Pool of Elders—the source of monster existence that is made of the very substance of fears.
* The Snorch (voiced by David Eccles) is the ogre disciplinarian of the Monster Academy who works for The Gromble and is often seen with Zimbo. Though he mostly does not speak and only makes vocal effects, he once wore a voicebox translator whose voice was provided by [[Brock Peters]]. He operates three chambers labeled "Something Bad" (a hissing boiler-like room), "Something Really Bad" (a mechanical cyclops with sharp teeth) and "You don't want to know" (a cheerful pink house with colorful flora).
* Zimbo (voiced by [[Tim Curry]]) is a bee-like monster with one mammal-like leg and a humanoid face with green hair. He is The Gromble's assistant in his class and is always seen on the head of The Snorch. Zimbo appears to be petty and jealous of anyone becoming friends with The Snorch, although he too has been punished by him for misbehavior.
* Slickis (voiced by [[Billy Vera]]) is Ickis' father.
* Horvak (voiced by David Eccles) is Krumm's father, who wears a black glove after he lost one of his eyes.
* Simon (voiced by [[Jim Belushi]]) is the series' recurring antagonist, a human who is determined to prove that monsters exist and wants to exterminate them. Before becoming a monster hunter, he tried to capture [[Bigfoot]] and built a giant robot. Belushi ad-libbed much of Simon's dialogue.
* Bradley (voiced by Brett Alexander) is a human friend of the monsters.

Nickelodeon programming director [[Herb Scannell]] said the character design in ''Aaahh!!!

==Reception==
===Reviews===
Reviews for ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'' were very positive. Josef Adalian of ''[[The Washington Times]]'' praised the show's animation and sense of humor, although it was not as "hip and witty" as ''[[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]'' or ''[[The Simpsons]]''. Although he felt the show would appeal to children over nine as well as adults, he said it may not appeal to those who "react negatively to semi-scary sights and gags about body odor, physical punishment or abusive older siblings".<ref name="Adalian1028">{{Cite news |last=Adalian |first=Josef |date=October 28, 1994 |title=C Metropolitan Times – Arts & Entertainment – Channel Surfer |work=[[The Washington Times]] |page=C18}}</ref> ''[[USA Today]]'' writer Matt Roush called it "garish and blissfully silly" and praised the show's "outrageous characters have just enough ''Ren & Stimpy'' grodiness, but tempered with exceptional sweetness".<ref name="Roush1028" /> Ginny Holbert of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' called it a "cute and clever" series with "wit and inventive creatures", and compared the animation to the work of artist [[Peter Max]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Holbert |first=Ginny |date=October 24, 1994 |title=Big News for Little Viewers – Nick Jr. Improves Kids' TV Picture |work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |page=35}}</ref> [[Gannett Company|Gannett News Service]] writer Mike Hughes called it a "terrific cartoon series",<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hughes |first=Mike |date=October 28, 1994 |title=For a Change, Good Viewing on Sunday |work=[[USA Today]]}}</ref> and said the show's "wildly perverse humor" had a "distinctly European style" that reflected Gábor Csupó's Hungarian background.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hughes |first=Mike |date=December 27, 1994 |title=To Some Jaded Souls, This Is the Ghost of Glories Past |work=[[USA Today]]}}</ref>

''[[The Plain Dealer]]'' writer Tom Feran called the show "good fun" and favorably compared the series' premise to that of the animated film ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''.<ref name="Feran1029" /> ''[[Boston Herald]]'' writer Frances Katz wrote, "If there was ever a great title for a cartoon, it has to be Nickelodeon's ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'''."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Katz |first=Frances |date=October 30, 1994 |title=Just for Kids – Monster Mania |work=[[Boston Herald]] |page=011}}</ref> Not all reviews were positive. The November 1994 issue of ''[[Parenting (magazine)|Parenting]]'' magazine listed ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'' as #1 in its top ten list of the worst new shows of the television season, describing it as "Graphic and scatological; it's just plain gross."<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 1, 1994 |title=On Television – Parenting Picks 10 Best and Worst |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-constitution-parenting-picks/173021743/ |work=[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]] |page=E10 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref> Some media outlets pointed out similarities between ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'' and ''[[The Brothers Grunt]]'', an [[MTV]] animated television series created by [[Danny Antonucci]] about a group of grotesque humanoid characters. Gábor Csupó rejected these comparisons and claims his show was more story- and character-driven with a different visual style, while Antonucci's show was idea-driven.<ref name="Mendoza1030" /> Csupó did not want ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'' to be lumped together with ''The Brothers Grunt'', especially since that show received low ratings and negative reviews, lasting for 8 months, and that Danny Antonucci called it "MTV's dirty little secret".

===Awards===
The pilot episode of ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters'' won first prize for film animation producer for television at both the Houston Film Festival and Ottawa Film Festival.<ref name="Mendoza1030" /> The series was nominated for a [[Daytime Emmy Award]] for Outstanding Achievement in Animation in 1995 alongside ''Rugrats'', ''[[Animaniacs]]'', ''[[Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?]]'' and ''[[2 Stupid Dogs]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |date=March 30, 1995 |title=CBS Leads Daytime Emmy Nods with 59 |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/news-pilot-cbs-leads-daytime-emmy-nods-w/173021459/ |work=[[San Pedro News-Pilot]] |page=A8 |agency=[[Associated Press]] |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref> The award ultimately went to ''Rugrats''.<ref>{{Cite news |date=May 20, 1995 |title=Dad, Daughter Give Out Day Emmys at Night |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-dad-daughter-g/173021693/ |work=[[Akron Beacon Journal]] |page=D4 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref>
