This is a rough list of movies that we have done since 1992. There may have been more but I really can't remember that well. Some crossed the thin line between being a movie and 'just something we did'. There were countless commercials and skits which I tried to lump together in the time frame they were done. Past Movie List

He has to prick his finger for blood so he can write, and he is not allowed to go to the GAP. At home, his daughter is going to die, so she must finish her dusting quickly. Then at night auntie Helga comes home and is greeted by carolers singing Du Hast, and she headbangs to it. Then she goes to sleep, only to wake up later by Marley because he is playing Grand Theft Auto. Marley leaves and comes back and warns her about three ghosts who will visit during the night. The first ghost comes and is only a head. He shows her the past. Then the ghost of the present comes and is huge. He shows her Bob Cratchet holding his daughter's skull on a stick pretending she is alive. Then the Scream guy comes and tries to kill her, but she thinks he is the ghost of the future, so she leaves to see what the future will hold. The real ghost of the future comes and is confused why she isn't there. He meets up with the Scream guy and gets stabbed. Auntie Helga never leanrs her lesson and feed scraps from the largest turkey to Bob Cratchet who has to beg for them under the table.
