saw this happening every year as a growing child and my dad always told us that they were real and would drag us home if we caused trouble in the neighborhood. when I grew up I realized it was just a movie with flying monkeys. yep. the Wizard of Oz was a yearly staple for my generation. who knew the flying monkeys would be real one day?
