Halloween Showdown Finale Spectacular- I’m all in, Steve

It’s been a tough Halloween Showdown with Steve over at Plastic Pumpkins. I’ve put up the best stuff I’ve got, but Steve’s hard to beat. Not only does he have a huge collection of weird stuff, he’s also a being of pure evil.
But I’ve got one last terrifying image. It’s so disturbing that it just might [...]

Halloween Poetry Friday – annotated

Bigfoot sings Unchained Melody

Okay, so Don Jones sings Unchained Melody. But if I remember correctly there are Bigfoot vocalizations on the frontside. This is from my personal LP collection by the way.

Satan’s back … Emberley style

Here’s the third Ed Emberley devil … and I haven’t even looked in the Red and Orange books yet. (Alas, i don’t own them … yet.)
As a final salute to the Great One (and, again, I mean Mr. Emberley, not Lucifer) here’s Dracula in His Car…

Have a Modocrylic Halloween! And may your mood time be romantic!

Like an episode of Laff-o-lympics, this raises more questions than it answers. Most importantly, did some “expert” really have the job of inspecting customers’ hair samples? Who thought up the name “Masculine Co.?” And did any poor souls ever wear these thinking it would be “exciting, romantic?”

How big is a life-size Monster Robot?

Satan’s Got a Sweet Tooth!

Steve’s got the party jumping with Creepy Cupcakes, now it’s time to serve the ice cream … 

Note: many people don’t realize that Satan’s name is Dan.
