Season 5, Episode 3: "Jimmy Ackerman: Monsterologist!"

A Scary Coming-of-Age Tale written and directed by Keith Suta!

Jimmy Ackerman is like any kid in New York during WWII: His dad is overseas fighting; his mom works at a munitions plant; and he's got to do his dad's job as superintendant of a small tenement filled with... interesting folks. Jimmy escapes into the exciting and spooky adventures of Doctor Aberrant -- wanting to grow up to be a Monsterologist, just like his radio hero! His friend Cordelia (who is definitely NOT his babysitter) tells him that monsters are all made-up. Until those holes appear in the walls... Until people in the building start dying... Until Jimmy must face a monster.
