''). Clark produced the series as a compilation of his short films from 1983 to the present. The show also features short films from many other independent animators such as Michel Gagne, Mark Kausler, Mike Milo and Aaron Long, Jessica Borutski, as well as many alternative music videos from bands like Celldweller, Monica Richards, The Nymphs, and Shiny Toy Guns. The show is a high octane zany comedy take blending the 60's “Kustom Car Kulture” of Ed Daddy Roth with the classic lovable spookiness of Hollywood horror monsters and vintage cartoons. “Mummy DaddyO” is the friendly “horror host” and lead hipster of this motley bunch from Horror Heights. His sidekick, “Butterball the Skeleton”, joins animated puppet DaddyO as he hosts the show from the Ends Ville Coffeehouse. The show currently airs in syndication on the OSI74 Roku network in the U.S. as well a

Clark also released two Kustomonsters feature films, The Kustomonsters Movie and Kustomonsters 2, currently streaming on Tubi and Amazon Prime. A third Kustomonsters film, Kustomonsters 3 is now in production for 2024.
