[These ones](http://www.flickr.com/photos/31550342@N03/4420989874/). Do you know what movie they’re from? If you do, please tell me, because it’s killing me! 😃 ---

Look more like Halloween fright-masks than movie monsters to me. ---

That is the “Sandywitch” and a monster I can’t remember the name of from the 1986 comedy/horror movie [House](http://www.rogercobbshouse.com/behindscenes.htm). ---

True. I just grabbed the first link that seemed to show them. Oddly enough, I watched that film just a few months ago. ---

I did, in a totally cheesy, 80s way. Might be best with a few friends to help you make fun of it. ---

😃 Yeah, in a cheesy way. Don’t tell anyone, but I also like the Evil Dead movies. ---

The French text above them makes no sense. The top line translates (roughly) as “The small trades of horror”, and the monsters are identified as [“Doctors Without Borders”](http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/) and “Dentist”. (I needed help with the top line, which is why I have the machine translation, but the bottom lines were what made me wonder what it said.) ---
