Montauk Monster

Photo by Alanna Nevitski

Holy crow! I have no idea who this fella was. He must go to different monster meetings, Apparently he or she washed ashore on a Montauk beach, and this is the only photo (that I know of). Some creepy old taxidermist supposedly took it away, but you and I know it was the Men in Black or the FBI.
Read more about the Montauk Monster.

It’s sad to think how it died. Please comment if you know anything more about this...

It ain’t cool news

Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that MTV is doing a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Are there really no writers out there with bright imaginations for new ideas, or are producers so lazy that they will only invest in existing franchises?
Before you know it The Rocky Horror Picture Show (redeux) will inspire a new Broadway Musical. Now that would be original. Not.

I see dead people seeing you seeing me

Of course we’ve all wondered, so why wouldn’t someone have thought of writing a book about it until now? Do Dead People Watch You Shower and other questions you’ve been all but dying to ask a medium by Concetta Bertoldi should be an interesting read. I’m not sold on mediums, but who am I to judge? I’m a vampire.
She sure seems to know a lot… or at least she thinks she does… or at least she believes you think she does. Either way, it should be entertaining or insightful… or both.

Reborn looks undead

Eeeeew. I’ve never seen these before, but even I’M creeped out by the Reborn Babies. They are designed to look real, and they really are amazingly done. Real works of art, but I don’t think I want to know any of the collectors.

Check it.

Bella Cullen vampire girls

I have to admit, the music sounds a little “folksy” for my taste. They should try adding some Gregorian Chant and electronics…
BUT they are rockin’ along, and singing their song, these girls from the Bella Cullen Project. I don’t think they think they’re vampires, but they sure have an appreciation. I never did see them at any of the meetings. I can appreciate their song, “Sexy Vampire.”
Click here to read their interview and see a short video. Judge for yourself.
You go girls! I can’t believe I just said that :P

Swarm and fuzzy inside

Eeeeyyyeeeww! I love it! Kids are making jewelry out of dead cicadas. It’s the plague that makes your body move. It’s the infectious grooves!

Clicky for Crytomundo.

Is a bat in a bra a brat?

A woman found a bat in her bra. Story finished, unless you want to comment on her love life (or the lack of it ;)

Hypocrites suck more than vampires

I’m sure I make mistakes all the time, but I still love to point out hypocrisy and bigotry whenever I see it. Here’s an editorial requesting that Emo go away along with Punk. It’s likely written by a bitter human who forgot they belonged to some unwelcome movement or genre when they were young. Or maybe they’re just boring.
I found the ad placement to be pretty comical. Right next to this article calling for the homogenization of young culture is an ad for vampirefreaks.com. I’m posting the link, but without their click-through code. Maybe I should become an affiliate myself.

Can they forecast ratings?

I know what you’re thinking. They already did this in the US. But it was pretty much a flop. Now Australia is getting into the act. Maybe they can do a better job. Here comes a reality show to find the best clairvoyant. Stinks for the contestants — they already know who the winner will be. G'day!
Clicky.

Astro-peep

The creepiest candy ever made has been launched into space. The Adler Planetarium has launched a Peep 19 miles into space. The article is accompanied by an entertaining time-lapse video.
I wonder what happens at 30,000 feet if the thing flies into a commercial jet engine.

The bats Ottawa bit him sooner

I’ve been in a cave for a week, so I’m glad to be back with a story that made me chuckle. Bats are not pets, and parents who let their kids put bats in cages are not good parents. I can’t be any more clear. Bats, and wild animals — nature in general — these are not yours. They do not belong to you. The “bored” Ottawa, Kansas kid who found some bats on his lawn doesn’t even act like he’s learned a thing.
Judge for yourself. Clicky for the article with bonus video report.
