I grew up loving monsters, lurking endlessly in the horror section of our local video store (Center Video, a three-story mom-and-pop rental place), gazing into the eyes of Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and too many other vicious killers and creeps to name.

Oddly though, one of the boxes that caught my eye again and again wasn't technically a horror movie at all, despite its proximity on the shelves: Jim Henson's Labyrinth, which is back in theaters for a limited engagement to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
