Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is an American animated television series about adolescent monsters in training, developed by Klasky Csupo for Nickelodeon. The show ran from October 30, 1994 to December 7, 1997 on Nickelodeon's main United States cable channel. The series is now released on DVD. The series focuses on three young monsters — Ickis, Oblina and Krumm — who attend an institute for monsters under a city dump and learn to frighten humans. Many of the episodes revolve around them making it to the surface in order to perform "scares" as class assignments.
The show premiered Saturday, October 30, 1994 on Nickelodeon and aired a four season fifty-two episode run, ending in December 1997. The show aired reruns on Nickelodeon until the early 2000s. In late 2006, it was taken off of Nicktoons Network, which had been airing it since 2002.
