“Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year” be damned. It’s time for the Houston Monster Jam. The sound of crushing metal as Charlie Pauken’s Grave Digger® crashes into Chuck Werner’s El Toro Loco® will clear your mind of any lingering bits of “Auld Lang Syne,” guaranteed. More than a dozen trucks, each standing 12 feet tall, weighing 10,000 pounds and equipped with 1,500 horsepower, fly 30 feet in the air as they crash their way through a custom-designed obstacle track — and each other.
