MAY MONSTER MADNESS BEGINS!!

I am so excited, but that could be from drinking too much Redbull. Mainly, because May Monster Madness is finally here!!! As my son would say BOO-YA! I was not the only mastermind in this creepy endeavor... I want to thank Emma from Little Gothic Horrors and Ked from something wicKED this way comes... for helping me host these genius shenanigans. 


I am doing a special giveaway just for the May Monster Madness hoppers!
A $15 iTunes giftcard is up for grabs! To enter just click the May Monster Madness Giveaway Tab at the top of my blog! You can also go back each day of the hop to tweet about the blog hop for extra chances to win!

I'm going back to where it all started for me... the monsters that sucked me in deep at only five years old.


Yep, much to my parents dismay. I watched this sucker over and over. I carried that VHS tape around everywhere I went. If you never saw it, you were watching... if you saw it a thousand times, you were watching it. Then, it mysteriously disappeared. Now, I can guess what happened to it... it is probably in a landfill far far away. 

If you have never seen it... you can stream it through Netflix. =D Yeah, I did. Do you even have to ask? Although it is very 80's, I still love it anyway.



Foul Phil, Greaser Greg, Windy Winston, Messy Tessie, Valerie Vomit, Ali Gator... I didn't have a favorite as they all had something about their personalities I grew fond of. I also had a butt load of those cards that are worth a butt load now. 

Honestly, I don't know why I was into it so much. Most likely because it is weird and I was a weird kid. 

Here is the trailer, and it takes me back. 

There is also big talk of a remake in the works... I don't really know how I feel about this part of my childhood coming back to light. Might be interesting... find out more here!

Another monster movie that was big in my childhood?


Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I checked under my bed in hopes of a world full of monsters.

It is almost here...



Coming tomorrow from these special blogs...

Puerile Escapade for my Birthday!

Lookin' for the Hunky Hero Blog Hop? Go here!


Today is my birthday. Yes, I'm getting old, but I don't feel old. I've decided to keep at my immaturity by taking part in this petty shenanigan. You know what they say: You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

 This next prank I found on Izismile! And surely to be funny. This type of prank would really be hilarious to my six year old son. It might be going a little too far though. Nah. 
Someone was kind enough to give specific, very detailed step by step instructions as if we were all complete idiots. Although I figured out why when the genius that came up with the photos skipped step three. 

What you need:









 Although, putting it just outside of a bathroom door would be highly amusing, especially if it was at a restaurant. Maybe the waiters will think twice before singing Happy Birthday to me.

***Post Edit***

7 Ways to Use this Fake Turd:


1. Discreetly drop it in someone's purse.


2. Stick it on that jerk that stole your parking spot's windshield while at the grocery store, post office, DMV, etc.

3. Put it in your neighbor's mailbox. You know? The one that let's their dog crap in your yard.

4. Stick it on the inside lid of your own mailbox. That way, when the mailman opens it, it falls out and he gets a surprise.

5. At a restaurant, make a trail going into the bathrooms.

6. At a bar, stick one in the center of the peanut bowl. To make it interesting and more realistic, stick peanuts in it.

7. My personal favorite, casually toss handfuls at that hated crossing guard. AKA: Lollipop man.

Happy Friday the 13th!

I would like to start by thanking Jenny for hosting this blog hop that is full of awesome!



We all know my intense appreciation for Fan Art... While Jason is not my favorite slasher, he certainly has a CATASTROPHIC fan base. I've decided to compound the sickest, most original, best Fan Art I could find of Jason Voorheez for your viewing pleasure. Yes, I even love all the little cutesy Jason art. 
TA-FREAKIN'-DA:







I like Big Knives and cannot lie. *Snigger*

This one is Sa-weet! I love reflective art.


The many faces of Jason.



 Believe it or not, there are many illustrations of Jason in the middle of a kill. I love this.











 Abstract.









 I like how this guy added the sound effects. Brilliant.








In honor of Mr. Voorheez... 
A video collage of Jason kills:





What are your favorite Friday the 13th moments?
