In 1988, a film called Daffy Duck's Quackbusters was released into theaters, a feature length compilation of Daffy cartoon segments from the past, spanning 40 years of everyone's favorite duck. The opening cartoon featured in the film was a six minute short called Night Of The Living Duck, which was the only segment in it that was created exclusively for the film.
In the cartoon, Daffy, a hardcore horror fan, gets bonked on the head while reading an issue of Hideous Tales (a faux take on mags like Creepy & Tales From The Crypt), and has a nightmare which puts him on a stage, forced to entertain a crowd full of monsters, everyone from The Fly to The Blob, Leatherface to The Wolf Man. He ends up winning the crowd over with an original song, titled 'Monsters Lead Such Interesting Lives'.
Enjoy the full segment as my offering for this week's Vintage Video Of The Week. Keep your eyes peeled for a Return Of The Thing poster in Daffy's bedroom!!
