This pitch for a half-hour block animated series focuses on Rhett, a human high school graduate delivering pizzas in his hometown full of cryptid citizens just to earn enough money to attend a "normal" college out of town.
of Cryptid Park. And that would be perfectly fine, if he wasn’t its only ordinary human resident! Existing just outside the plains of the North American Midwest in its own pocket dimension, Cryptid Park is a safe haven for monsters, mythos, and any stray members of the occult that happen to fall into its territory! Even his parents are a merman and a fire-breathing hybrid lizard woman! So in this town, it’s being “normal” that makes him the weirdo. And now that he’s eighteen, Rhett’s finally had enough of feeling like an outsider. He’s convinced himself that attending college on the Main Plane is where he’ll finally fit in. Deciding to get himself somewhere “normal” and begin his new life as quickly as possible, Rhett’s picked up a local gig delivering pizzas while he awaits a college acceptance letter. But as this part-time job gets him out of the house and onto the stoops of his otherworldly neighbors, he finds himself consistently pulled into their everyday struggles. But paranormal people means paranormal problems, and each solved mystery only seems to open up new questions. How can a vampire eat garlic pizza? Is a chupacabra a pet, or a person? Just what’s brought all the creature citizens to settle here, anyway? How does Cryptid Park even exist, and how come no one ever seems to want to leave this supernatural suburbia?
letter!) to get him out of Cryptid Park. He’s just a normal guy, son of a merman and a fire-breathing lizard woman. He didn’t inherit the monster bits. (Don’t ask him how they did it, he doesn’t know and he doesn’t want to find out.) (Normal Guy)
difference between Sirens and Mermaids. (Not that anyone asked.) She’s devastated that Rhett wants to take off for the human world, but she’ll be the last person to hold him back, even if it means bottling up her own lonely feelings. (What!? She’s not molting! YOU’RE molting!) (Normal Siren)
she’s deluded with some impression that she can treat the other people in town like her own guinea pigs. She also has a curious fascination with trying to understand “what went wrong” with Rhett’s biology, and the more mysteries that are uncovered, the more of the town’s problems seem to be her fault… (Not-So-Normal Science Witch)
as more and more monsters inexplicably found their way here. While these suburbanized families have been around for generations, no one seems to know how their ancestors got there, and more peculiar monster denizens keep showing up all the time, forever fueling enough paranormal puzzles for Phoebe to keep Rhett in Cryptid Park forever!
of a dilapidated pizza delivery van in the parking lot of the local pizza place. He is staring bleakly at the stars overhead. The feathery face of his best friend Phoebe suddenly pops into his view, but Rhett isn’t startled. (She does this jump-scare a lot.) Wondering what’s got him so down, Phoebe seats herself next to him while he explains that he hasn’t received a single college acceptance letter since he started applying to colleges on the Main Plane a month ago. He laments that he’ll never get out of this town full of monsters, he’s doomed never to fit in, and he picked up this job delivering pizzas for no reason other than to kill time. Phoebe optimistically insists that all he has to do is wait, and success will come to him. On cue, Rhett’s phone chimes with a text from his boss. There’s three pies to deliver, and Phoebe takes this as an indication of her point. Act 1
have to do?) while Rhett skateboards his way to an address he’s already familiar with, the little Jiangshi vampire girl Liuling who lives down the street from him. After a confused encounter, Rhett notices a strange flower growing out of the little girl’s lawn but otherwise ignores it. The next address is that of Tony the Incubus who lives next door to his own parents. Tony reveals that the pizza delivery is a veiled booty call, toward which Rhett adamantly declines. Phoebe remarks on Rhett’s hasty departure from the property, accusing his flight as not from Tony but from his grandmother, who is just “too sexy” to turn down. Rhett is able to dodge these accusations by noticing, once more, the same flower on the front lawn of the sex demons’ house. Next door, his father catches Rhett and Phoebe passing by and asks how work is going. Rhett answers this question minimally and instead asks about the flower species which he now notices growing in his parents’ front yard. His mother, who is planting the flowerbed, remarks (rather bitterly) that the plant was a gift from Dr. Dritch down the street and it would be “unneighborly” to refuse it, according to Rhett’s father, in spite of Mother herself being allergic to most plants. (She sneezes and burns up the flower, much to her husband’s chagrin and her own relief.) Phoebe beckons Rhett to finish the final pizza delivery before it gets cold, and they make their way to the house of the elderly Sasquatch who lives at the edge of town. Act 2
the property is overgrown with thick, barbed vinery, blooming all over with the same flower that their neighbors had been planting in their front yards. Rhett bothers to ring the doorbell only once before deciding it’s best to leave, but Phoebe points out the state of the property and insists they at least look for their elder, as something may have happened to him. Upon venturing inside and exploring the spooky, darkened house, they come across none other than Dr. Ellen Dritch, who claims to have come to check on Mr. Sasquatch after a worrying phone call. She admits the plant she’s gifted to Mr. Sasquatch has grown beyond her expectation and she veils her scientific fascination with minimal concern for her neighbor. The party of three continue and find Mr. Sasquatch comatose in his own bedroom, apparently held hostage by the largest bloom of all, which, after feeding on the Sasquatch’s blood, has become monstrous enough to attack Phoebe. The plant takes no interest in Rhett or Dr. Dritch, and the two are able to work together to stop it. With the scientist carrying an acidic solvent and Rhett’s springy skateboard athletics, he uses the solvent to burn the plant at its source, withering the thing right down to the root. Dr. Dritch then happily agrees to take a groggy Mr. Sasquatch to get help, while she insists the teens take her solvent to burn the rest of the plants in town. In spite of this, it sits uneasily with Rhett that Dr. Dritch was carrying the exact solution needed to destroy the plant when she had acted so surprised by its progression. Even as Rhett conveys this uneasiness to Phoebe, the camera reveals to the audience Dr. Dritch in her own home, now tending to Mr. Sasquatch in a containment tube and with a certain flower growing out of his mouth.
