Chaos erupts in the hills above Townville, USA, when the quiet community is disturbed by the big hairy monster, which grew from the imaginations of Eric Walter and Matthew LaCurts.

We now continue with our series what women consider the five most important things in their wardrobe. Evellnda: You might be surprised at what they are. For example Denver Public Relations Guru Tracy Aiello wears her yoga pants everywhere. "You can wear them for yoga, for shopping." Other Aiello favorites are: An easy-to-wear dress: Mine is a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress. It looks great for work or evening and can be worn all year with boots, heels, a turtleneck or camisole.

Slacks with a nice long line and generous break: one for winter (gray flannel) and one for summer (black linen) for work. Jeans: Designer pairs that go from day to evening and an occasional casual work day. My favorite are the Buffalo brand. I love the designer jeans trend! Outerwear. Whether it's short and funky, mid-length and'professional or a great long sweater, outerwear completes an outfit JUDIE: We'll let Author and Wine Columnist Jennifer Chotzi Rosen speak for herself: Here's what author and wine columnist Jennifer Chotzi Rosen wouldn't be without Really tight, long, hip-hugger, slightly boot-cut pants: Stretch, pull-on, forget snaps, buttons or zippers.

Usually black, but other colors may apply. Best ones come from Brazil Bia Brazil and Brasilsul are great brands. Fanny pack: I started wearing one a few years ago when I was on crutches and handbags weren't an option. Found life better with free hands and I'm always on the lookout for cool ones. Posture: If mom didn't tell you, shame on her.

Walk around chest up, head high like you own the place, and people will treat you like you do. Buy a new exercise video instead of a baggy shirt Work your body and it'll work for you. Smile and say something nice to EVERYONE. 1 Urn fejjl XI 1 Xjl xd SV jj )K tr' MIL Ji JlllH UL Ulllllll- I II HI II II Ill- y. i 1 rH)3l(yMC(JNA)N SGiNf OP 6RAWHC VIQUNC6, 'HIGH PHOFANIf AND I NUDITY THAT MAY MOT BE SUITABLE fOW AUOIENCFS OVFB TMB AGE QP BIXTVUVt i such that's because the cast is local, too.

The Community Players of Salisbury, along with two actors from Ocean Pines, fill the cast Walter developed his script in the style of a 1960s TV sitcom, complete with commercials. "It sounds insane, but it's fun," Walter said. The "commercials" were shot using a different film, giving the impression of an old movie on TV. "It looks like an old film that has scratches and has been dragged across the floor," Walter said. "There's a different feel between the two." "It's as if you hit record on any random local TV station and this is what you see." The writers also parody homegrown commercials like those seen on local channels.
