A much bigger piece of news landed this week than another trailer argument: the Paramount-Warner Bros.

Monster Book of Monsters Plush Cover
Halloween week in the Common Room calls for exactly one upgrade: a plush, fanged Monster Book of Monsters cover that "bites" when picked up. $25, and funnier than any corporate statement about the show's future.
