WHO: Top kid scarer James P. Sullivan ("Sulley")
CLAIM TO FAME: Stars in Monsters, Inc., in theaters November 2.
Q How do you scare kids?
A The simplest moves work the best, such as the basic three-step creep. But the Waternoose Jump & Growl gets 'em every time.
Q What is the most challenging part of your job?
A Maintaining high quality. After scaring hundreds of kids, it's easy to get lazy. Then you get yawns instead of screams.
Q What are monsters like behind the screams?
A Most are great and will lend you a hand—or paw, or tentacle—when you need it.
Q Do you and your friend Mike Wazowski see eye to eye?
A Mike is tough on me at work because he knows me so well.
Q Are monsters scared of anything?
A No, of course not! Well, except for kids.
Q What's a monster secret?
A The scariest thing about us is our breath. But if kids knew that, we'd be out of a job!
