Vampire Wedding, Werewolf Witness

Useless without pix, I know. I hate when these articles pop up without images of which to properly make fun. More vampire fans getting married in England.
I don't know a single vampire who has ever expressed an interest in a human themed wedding.

Werewolf? There wolf!

I guess humans have such a case of monster-envy that they're trying to find any way they can to associate themselves with us monsters. Now there's 'proof' that a full moon has a werewolf effect on people.

Extra, extra, read all about it!

Back to the cave


Cave spiders. Male on the left. Female on the right.

BBC Earth News. Sounds like the set up for a horror movie: Ten years ago archaeologists explored a cave, and accidentally brought back cave spiders in their equipment. The spiders made themselves at home in a nearby house. Now, they have to go back to the cave.
Like me, they don't like light, so I'm guessing they'll be much better off.

Fox muses vampires

Are vampires real? Well, these three certainly aren't.

Fox muses the scientific possibility of vampires. The annual articles debating if vampires are real seem to be happening more often… or at least every time some stupid human-made vampire film is released.

Here comes the science.

Read it, and weep… tears of ketchup if you don't mind.

Juan Cabana strikes again!

I must be losing a step. I had to find this floating around on Betty Bones' blog through my sister, DeMonica. I've posted finds about this guy, Juan Cabana before. Early on I didn't realize he's an artist, but now I really admire what he does. He's moved on from hoaxes, and is creating taxidermy creatures that never existed… at least as far as YOU know.

Juan Cabana Creatures on environmentalgraffiti.com

Here's his art at the original site that featured the hoax art.

This is one of Ira / Miguel's works of art: A mummified demon bat.

Rat invasion

The rats are coming to get you, Barbara.

Halloween Wedding


Here's a couple of goofballs getting married on Halloween dressed as ogre goblins and ghouls. Hmmpff. Once a year people accept monsters, now this couple ruins it by making everyone who dresses up look like dorks.

New Sea Monster discovered

A giant sea monster skull has been found in England. Apparently this fellow was big enough to eat a Tyrannosaurus Rex if he wanted to. Its head was over 8 feet long. That's why I'm assuming it's a boy. Only boys get a big head like that.

Zombie attack plan

I are a college student :P

The Columbus Dispatch reported that the University of Florida has an emergency plan in case of zombie attack.

Too bad the PDF link is no longer there :(

Now what will they do?

Monster shark bite

Whoa! The predator is the prey of a bigger predator as a 10 foot shark is bitten nearly in half by an estimated 20 foot monster shark! That's a lot of feet! Soon it'll come on land and eat us all up!
And with 20 feet, that thing is probably FAST!

Zombie attack to collapse civilization

He's not all that smart, but this zombie is a handsome dude.

I know some zombies, and they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Take Betty Bones, for instance. Just a tad tardy to the smarts meetings. My point is, there's really not much to worry about when scientists say a zombie attack could destroy civilization. Follow the rules of the George Romero zombies. That's closer to the truth.

The thing is they are not really all that infectious. Sure they can bite you, but they only want you for your brains. Most humans act like idiots with no brains anyway. You're most likely safe from the zombie apocalypse.

The corpse of the issue

It's slightly understandable, but still simply repulsive. A dead body is in plain sight on a balcony for days before anyone realizes it's not part of a Halloween display. Please. Does no one in this apartment complex know what their neighbors look like? "Hey, that scarecrow looks a lot like Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed, the guy who lives down the hall… wait a second… That IS Mostafa!

Time to ban Halloween decorations as the holiday's origins are nothing more than a hate-filled celebration to frighten away ghouls, demons, and monsters in general. You can dress like us, but you can never be us. What makes you think we'll fear you if you dress like us. Go on, mock us, but we will haunt your nights as long as you continue to disregard your fellow human as you have disregarded Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed.

Spiders are terrific pigs

We should all take it as a lesson that animals and insect are not to be "kept." When you fill your dwelling with creepy crawlies that are potentially deadly, you stand a chance of being devoured by your "pets."

And that's just what happened.

A 30 year old German man named Mark Voegel was bitten by his black widow spider, then found over a week later with his household insects and reptiles picnicking on and apartment-squatting in his remains. Yum.

Humans are murderers


A tear, a very rare tear escaped my eye when I saw this story. This poor little "monster" or "alien" was just an unknown creature to some boys in Panama. The teenagers decided it was a strange enough creature to them that they should stone it to death.
That's right, kids; when you see something, and you don't know what it is - it is imperative that you stone it to death. Unknown creatures are ALWAYS dangerous.
As it turns out the creature is very likely a deformed, hairless sloth.

The picture shown is a happy sloth. I couldn't bring myself to post the dead body of a poor murdered creature. You'll find it in the article.

I recently was alerted to this gem at Daily Mail. I'm pleased to see mediocrity is never rewarded. In order to receive any recognition in the world, one must be either the best or the worst at something. That includes being the worst at being cute… or is it simply the best at being ugly.

Montauk monster is back… again

I swore I wouldn’t mention the poor Montauk Monster again, but this is a new creature, actually. I can’t remember what ever came of that. Was it a hoax? Was it a viral ad campaign for some movie? Were all the rumors just speculation?
I don’t have the answers, but I’m intrigued enough to follow what The Ampersand has to say.
I’m inclined to believe it’s not a sea monster at all, but some wacky experimental animal from Plum Island.

Hmm. This is fishy. Inspired by the success of Twilight, I’m sure; physicists supposedly have proved that is impossible for vampires to exist.

Twilight - Breaking Dawn breaking rules

This sort of thing drives me batty. No kidding. Pun, intentional or not is putting it mildly.

A school library in Utah had taken Breaking Dawn of the Twilight series off the shelf because of one complaint about sexual content. They denied that was the reason, citing that other Twilight books were available at their library (okay, so then what's wrong with this one?).
Apparently the sex involved is marital too (and only implied), so what’s the problem?

I would withhold judgment before writing anything about this, but the grounds have no solid argument. There are countless jr. high and high school books that include implied and described sexual situations. Heck, the bible has implied sex. Just more anti-vambites who have a problem with a human/vampire relationship.

Better stay away from those Sookie Stackhouse novels, n00bs.

Devil feet

Ronnie & Donnie, conjoined twins

The Sun is there. We’ve all heard of them. We don’t always know their names, but if you’ve never seen video or pictures of Ronnie and Donnie, the oldest living conjoined twins, you must live under a rock. You can see pictures along with the Sun’s article here. I don’t think their image should be associated with “bogey news” or “freakiness.” But, what could they do to make money if not cater to the curiosities of others. Even their own mother couldn’t handle the idea of raising conjoined twins. They should be an inspiration to anyone who thinks they are behind the eight ball in life. Ronnie and Donnie share reproductive and digestive parts, but each have their own set of arms and legs.
They’ve recently come to poor health, and expect their lives may end soon. It seems like a scary thing to face. Your conjoined twin brother dies, and you’re still alive. Then all you can do is wait. I don’t envy their position, but I envy their close relationship. Though they actually settle their differences with physical fights sometimes, they have a bond that is so rare, only they can tell their story. That is why they are being filmed for a documentary.
I hope they continue to live happily with each other. Stay cool, Ronnie and Donnie.

Anti-vambites are among us

Someone named Ashley Womble wrote a piece for the MSN Lifestyle section; and seems to think that vampires are mooches, thieves, clingy, and drama queens. I’m sure she’s using the term vampire in a derogatory way, and in no way is she describing real vampires. What I’d like to know is how she makes that association. Maybe she’s just got a bunch of high maintenance friends who’ve stolen her Facebook friends and taken advantage of her generosity. So, why is she an anti-vambite?

Not for the squeamish

Yuckers. I found this list in a blog by Robert Brockway. He was completely grossed out by his list of “Most Disturbing Animals,” and I can’t say I blame him. These are creatures that will never come close to being cute. No matter how much I try, I just can’t bring myself to take one home.
How he managed to compile this list in three parts is beyond my ghoulish comprehension. I tip my fangs to you, Mr. Brockway. You have won the award for actually grossing me out.

Roberts lists get progressively more disgusting, so I’ve listed the worst first. However, you’ll find my two favorites posted below. Quite tame by his list’s standards.

This brave little Thai woman set a record for living with 5,000 scorpions in a glass room for 33 days and nights. I’m not sure her record is in any danger considering she beat her own record in doing this. No one else has the desire, let alone the nerve.
She claims to have been “bitten” several times, but do scorpions do anything other than sting or pinch? I suppose they bite their food. Mmmmm, Thai food.

Zombie cover up


A recent Austin, Texas invasion by zombies has been covered up as a hacker’s hoax. I don't know what they did with all the zombies, but I bet they ate the brains of some locals.

Humorous article and video here.

Getting along swimmingly with Juan Cabana

Her name is Ariel.

I’ll say it right away. This is not a hoax. It’s art. I found another “exhibit” by Artist, Juan Cabana. A mermaid corpse found in Malaysia.

Here’s the link I found at Hoax Slayer.

Here’s the art of Juan Cabana.

Brown Button your fly

I like DO spiders and snakes, and that IS what it takes.

Call me late to the internet, but I’ll bite your head off if you say it out loud. I was recently alerted to this story of an African Brown Button Spider (a well-dressed lady). She ate a snake back in 2004.
I did some investigating, and what many people don’t realize about this particular spider is that she had been on a crash diet because it was prom season. No male Brown Button Spider asked her to the prom, so she binged on this snake who was making fun of her. That’s just the way it goes.
I personally won’t eat snake without a little hot sauce.

Chickcharnie con carne

A good, old friend, Arnie Chickcharnie has allowed his legend to reach the mainland. He’s a very quiet creature who retired to the Bahamas centuries ago. He wanted to remain anonymous, but he was occasionally spied by humans who built a Bahamian legend around him. His handsome red eyes must have given him away.
If you get down to the Bahamas on vacation, be sure to keep your eyes out for him. Though he’s shy he does appreciate a Bahama Mamma once in a while. So buy him one. Maybe he’ll spare your delicate hide.
For more about Chickcharnie according the the Miami Herald, click here.

We’ve come a long way, baby

This Vampire Hunter’s Kit is evil in a box.

Back in the day it was fashionable to hunt and kill the undead. How horrific is that? I’m glad humans are more tolerable these days… and more tasty.

I found this link on another blog, but I’m linking directly to the scientific oddities page containing this vampire hunter’s kit. How droll.


To give credit where credit is due, Scribal Terror is where I originally found it.

Cracked is whack with their lists

I was alerted to this list on cracked.com earlier today. It lists “6 Bizarre Real World Versions of Fictional Monsters.” Little do they know (obviously) that there are players and poseurs , and there are fictional characters, but then there are the real things.
The list is amusing nonetheless. Worth a look see. First on the list is vampires, so I'm not sure if that should be an insult or compliment. Maybe Ian Fortey needs a nibble.

He also lists zombies. I wonder what Betty Bones would think. And Frankenstein. Abby Cadaver probably wouldn't care either way. And last on the list is demons. My own little sister, DeMonica is a demon. She seems to think that since she’s last on the list it means she’s considered to be the least pretentious. Let her go on thinking that.
