If this turns out to be a horror movie series for Halloween, here is the second movie.
The movie title, Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl, explains the plot. Since this is a Japanese movie from 2009, the fun comes from watching their take on American style and culture. This might be a parody, I can’t tell. The version I watched was in English, and dubbed very well.

Rachel Maddow loses her composure when she sees that her parent company contributed to the White House ballroom project. There is no reason to get bent out of shape about this renovation.
