Eeeyeeew, LICE!

This lice does more than make your head itch. These creatures were caught in lobster traps, and I guess no one considered eating them… because lobsters are SO much more attractive and appetizing.
They are going on display in England. If any of my UK readers happen upon this exhibit, I'd love to hear from you about it.

We Kill You — They really do

Sure, it’s not bogey news, but whose blog is this, anyway? I had to post this stuff because it is just that cool. Besides, I report on that that is reported on.
Check out this Indie Toy Spotlight at Fear.net that I found. The toys are monsters from WKY or We Kill You. Freakin’ sweet.
Go directly to their site to look at their stuff. You can even buy cool We Kill You stuff. Get that Christmas shopping started early!

Quasimodo x 2. These or this is the most adorable little kitty-kitty! I wonder if there should be a special place for all these kinds of special kitties who need special attention.
Quasimodo was born with two faces, and both are adorable.

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 ;)

The Bat Man, man

This guy is my hero. He’s helping the bats by keeping abandoned caves and mines accessible to them while keeping nasty humans out.

Chiller Theater Returns!!!

I haven’t posted an Bogey News lately. My bad. I’ve been busy preparing for Halloween.

Guess what. Chiller Theater is coming back! If you are in the NY area, or get WPIX Channel 11, they are bringing back Chiller Theater! Remember that six fingered hand that emerged from a puddle of blood to eat the letters in “CHILLER?” Then it would sink back down with that eerie “Chiller,” voice. They always played the best scary movies!

Here’s a link to the Channel 11 WPIX announcement:

Home invasion cancelled

Tours of Sequiota Cave in Missouri have been canceled due to the discovery of bats. Well, duh. Bats live in caves. They probably wanted to make themselves more apparent to all the frizzy-haired soccer moms and their beastly children who wanted to peek at their digs.
Stay out of my cave! I’m not even telling you where it is!

This sheet has holes in it

Part of me doesn’t even want to feed the machine with publiciy mentions like this, but I like Ricky Gervais enough that I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that he’s not involved. After all, chances are his staff and crew are setting him up to make this look even more authentic. Maybe they don’t trust his acting ability?
According to this article at starpulse.com, Ricky Gervais was spooked during press junkets for his new movie, Ghost Town (of course). They were being held at the reputedly haunted Roosevelt Hotel.
Gervais wasn’t even involved in any of they haunting events, which if you ask me, sound like hype from giddy production people. For the record, ghosts have had no physical interaction for a long time. It’s not likely they’ll be pushing anyone out of bed. That must have been one ugly production assistant.
