The second episode of the show is Monster Maker, a television special that was later re-released as a stand-alone feature.
Teenage Matt Banting wants to work with a famous but eccentric creature/special effects man named Chancey Bellow. He gets more than he bargained for when one of the creatures, the giant dragon-like Ultragorgon, takes Matt under his wing. Matt is forced to confront his inner monsters while working out his issues with his father.
This episode shows examples of
- Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Matt's father is not impressed or supportive of his son's interests in special effects.
- Scare 'Em Straight: Chauncy uses the Ultragorgon to do this to Matt.
