Synopsis
They're first discovered by a couple of low-life crooks who break into the Capital City blood bank to steal the donation money: they're gigantic vampire bats with the unusual characteristic of long, tusklike vampire teeth that they can "drop" like spears upon unsuspecting victims below. When the creatures also rip the top off of Capital City Hospital, depleting the blood supply, the Monster Warriors know that they've got a crisis on their hands.

Production notes
Who do you call when giant earthworms are eating subway trains, a 60-foot bumblebee is sucking up the city's electricity and a gigantic squid is munching ferry boats? The Monster Warriors, of course. Using everyday household objects to make low-tech weapons, the Monster Warriors- Luke, Vanka, Tabby and Antonio- defend Capital City against an onslaught of creatures straight out of a 1950s monster movie, like a giant anaconda, Tyrannosaurus Rex and a skeleton army.
Combined live action and 3D CGI animation (the creatures are animated).
Each episode spawns a different CGI created B-movie monster, such as giant spiders, a skeleton army, a giant anaconda and a terrifying tyrannosaurus rex. As the series gathers pace, Monster Warriors Luke, Vanka, Tabby and Antonio begin to unravel the explanation behind the monsters- that crazed, retired B-movie director Klaus Von Steinhauer is behind the attacks.
Filmed in Barrie, Ontario, the city's quarries, junkyards and waterfront set the perfect photo-realistic stage upon which visual effects team Bullseye Post Production created the show's 3D-animated monsters and brought them to life.
