"Monsters...monsters from the id."

In a way it was kind of prescient, a little different inasmuch as the monsters from the id are actually monsters from the internet.

I first saw it, as a child, on my parents small screen black and white TV. I've watched on DVDs a few times, but never in the theater.

I can't wait.

"Monsters from the id..."

One can imagine that metaphorically at least, the orange pedophile vandalizing the White House and Washington beyond is a monster from the id.
