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.

Reminds me of the very first post I ever made to this blog.

Congratulations John Kemp and Liz Caswell.

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.

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.

That's not Nessie

Nessie's been spotted on Google Earth? I think not. Nessie moved about 30 years ago. That's Nancy!

Loch Ness has no monster. Nancy is an eel.

Worm of death

The Mongolian Death Worm

The Mongolian Death Worm doth exist. This I know to be true. The mystery of this cryptoid be thine only for your lack of belief. From whence it came be the only necessary mystery. Knoweth this, oh surface dweller: The Mongolian Death Worm means to spit acid in those eyes of thine.

Enjoy. Clickula.

Was the Sarlacc of the Great Pit of Carkoon in the Dune Sea of Tattooine inspired by this creature? Only George Lucas knows for sure. Was Jabba the Hutt from Mongolia?

Bobbie Blob is working out

Bobbie Blob has been captured (partially)!

A good friend of mine, Bobbie Blob has been training of the Alaskan coast. She's trying to get used to cold weather so that next time she eats all the popcorn in the movie theater, the locals can't freeze her. I'm sure it had something to do with all the collateral victims. There were people in that theater.

Anywho. They found her...

Clicky.

Sewer monster

Supposedly, this has been confirmed as "not a hoax," so enjoy guessing what the heck this is. There's some crazy sewer monster slithering around in the sewers of North Carolina. Reminds me of Hedorah the Smog Monster from Godzilla.

WARNING: The video in this link is nasty. It might be more than some can handle. A bit gooey, and gross.

Horrible traffic

LOL! I reserve the LOLs for really fun posts, and I am most certainly amused.
Joseph Carnevale created this outstanding work of art - a construction barrels monster!

His reward for his brilliance: larceny charges.

Linky.

And here's the arrest report on the Smoking Gun (with a great big picture).

Long Island paper picks up the monster

Long Island’s Newsday is finally getting in on the Montauk Monster action. This time, at least, there’s some more info than just an image, and random speculation.

See the Newsday article.

Go directly to montaukmonster.com

And, finally: Newsday’s interesting piece, 4o Creatures that may or may not Exist.

…and yet again

Main stream media picked up the Montauk Monster again. This time MSNBC is reporting on blog reporting. Amusing, but still sad for the poor expired creature.

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.

Mysterious mystery

Here’s a really cool picture of a mysterious creature that comes from this linked article with not very much information.

Spider bite man follow-up

What a jerk! Maybe he was in the right condition in the first place. The spider made a mistake by giving him his legs back. The man who lost his ability to walk, and had it returned after a spider bite has been arrested for domestic violence! JERKWAD!!!

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.

Tampa tamper

So much for current news. This is a sea monster “news” is a couple of years old, but I never got the email. I wish I had! What a beautiful creature. If only it was real. It’s actually a sculpture by artist, Juan Cabana. I have a theory on artists who make monsters, but I'll keep it to myself ;)

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...

“Make sure you get the heart” will be mine.

Not really news — more like olds, but it’s history with attitude; and attitude is something I can respect. Check out Cracked’s list of tough last words. You’ll want to change your powder-puff ways and face your demise with nerve. Click here.

Something bugged me about this list, however. No women. Is that the editor’s fault? Maybe. I did a search to find something with more relevance to us grrls. The article is a tad old, but you get the picture. Women are just as tough as men, and are often overlooked. Click for last words and stories of unheralded heroines.

That’s more like it. Now where can I find those famous last words of brave monsters and vampires?

Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepie too?

Want to make a quick $50,000 for exploiting a monster? I don’t. I prefer to leave other monsters in peace. Go ahead and get a photo of Pepie, but don’t blame me when you get gobbled up.

The Honey Monster

Some dork just changed his name to Honey Monster because he loves Sugar Puffs cereal. He’s eaten a bowl of this cereal per day since he was 9 years old. Abby Cadaver loves her sweets too, but you don’t see her changing her name to “Yummy Chocolate” or something.
To start with, the guy isn’t even a monster. He’s a human. Isn’t there some rule against this sort of thing? I should change my name to “Stupid Human” to see what kind of reaction I get.
Don’t take my word for it. See for yourself.

Yowie Kazowee, he’s naked!

Listen up, humans. It’s hard enough to swallow the idea that most of you don’t believe in us “monsters,” but for those of you who do believe, and want to prove it — is it really necessary to catch us at our most awkward moments?
The Yowie is Australia’s Bigfoot. You might say he’s the Bigfoot from down under. It‘s totally not necessary to catch his down under parts on film, and then post the picture on the internet. Thankfully all they got was his rear end.
Here’s the linky, but you won’t see his winky.
