(changed title because I thought it was Dave Allen's work...) Last Edited By: Dr Acula Jul 12 11 11:18 AM. Edited 1 time.

This site credits him with it: http://puppetsandclay.blo...-contra-el-monstruo.html I'll bet Aupperle knows.

Do you have any other info about it, or do you know if it's truth or rumor that it was considered too scary and the spot was pulled prematurely?
