Who we are:
Monster Machine is more than merch. It’s a handmade universe of original character designs inspired by classic horror and drawn in a ‘90s and early-2000s animation style.
It’s a living, growing world — part art project, part monster factory, part underground cartoon community.
If you’re into that kind of thing, welcome home.
