Don’t Let It Happen Here (2003) was a homage to Horrors of War, Fight the Red Menace, and other jingoistic hyper-patriotic card sets from the past.

Like its classic predecessors, Don’t Let It Happen Here garnered a certain amount of publicity for showing graphic acts of violence while presenting informative news events from around the world.

Their "Monsterwax Manifesto"[3] criticizes the typical chase card ratios that force customers to buy several cases to finish a master set.

Many of their advertisements are illustrated parodies[4] of 1960s public service or comic book ads and commonly mock the sports card hobby.

[5] Monsterwax occasionally uses the trademark Mystery Playhouse on their test products, which was the original name of the haunted house that they sponsor every Halloween (since 1999) near their headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida.
