TOM TURKEY AND THE CACKLING QUEST FOR FREEDOM!!!

ONE!!!  ONE WEEK TO GO!!!  I'm already doing a lot of Turkey Day prep work, including buying my supplies for the big day itself and watching unearthly levels of Mystery Science Theater 3000 so I can be ready come eight days from now!  You know who's also making preparations?  O'l Tom Turkey!  But those preparations might actually be funeral arrangements as the Brat Twins finally caught him!  But there was a glimmer of hope last week as Tom finally seems to have spotted his Cackle Corner!  Is the wily old bird gonna get his final chuckle or will Billy and Dorothy have the last laugh?  For the answer, you'll have to scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Well, Ol' Tom's certainly cackling!  Maybe he really did find his Cackle Corner?  Billy and Dorothy certainly seem interested, but will they really buy it?

If you've been following along these last few years, you'd know by now that the Brat Twins have a combined IQ lower than an Amish electricity bill!  They're making a beeline for that cave and a smelly new pal just waiting to greet them!  How will it all end?  Come back next week for the grand finale!

And now dear CRAZIES, the moment you've all been waiting for!  Presenting this year's "Float" for the CRAZIES Day Parade!  Enjoy...

Pepper flies high above the CRAZY streets as his pals Lollipop, Picpak and Sunny follow behind!  With 2024 being the Year Of The Dragon, Pepper volunteered himself to be this year's float and he did not disappoint!  Also, it was a chance for him to fly, so of course he was eager to loon up!  The parade itself is an annual art collective that takes place on what's left of Twitter tomorrow as well as BlueSky, a place I'll likely be hanging out at more often in the coming year unless karma quits dragging its feet on Voldemusk!  Be sure to give it a look with the hashtag #CRAZIESDayParade!

Well, one week to go with Tom Turkey, the Brat Twins and Thanksgiving in general, but that's still a whole week away, so be sure to come back next Wednesday and give it a look!  Be sure to think of others this holiday season and donate to local food/clothing/toy drives.  Be a beacon of kindness and light as these dark times hopefully start to dissipate.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY AND THE SEARCH FOR THE CACKLE CORNER!!!

We are back and halfway to Thanksgiving already!  Time seems to move faster when you're older.  Moves especially faster after you hit 40!  But there's no time for that now!  Tom Turkey is in trouble!  DEEP trouble!  Billy and Dorothy, the Brat Twins, have finally caught their prize poultry, but in a surprise act of humanity, have allowed him to go to his Cackle Corner one last time to enjoy a good laugh.  Will Tom go out on a happy note?  Scroll down to get the answer!  Enjoy...

Well, they're out for a stroll, but so far no Cackle Corner.  I'm starting to think the Cackle Corner is something he made up to buy himself some time!  Perhaps that bee might know?  They certainly know a thing or two about places of laughter!

Or, perhaps Ol' Tom Turkey just spotted exactly where his Cackle Corner just might be!  And it looks like he's not the only one aware of it!  Will Tom Turkey get the last laugh?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

Well, another week down as we march towards Turkey Day, but we have a BIG post ready for next week as the CRAZY faithful get the very first look at this year's CRAZIES Day Parade entry, along with the continuing tale of that Tricky Tom Turkey!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  As I mentioned last week, holiday donation centers have begun to open up, so please think of those less fortunate and donate.  A little bit of kindness goes a long way.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IS BACK!!! AND HIS GOOSE IS... COOKED?!?

Welcome to November CRAZIES!!!  And y'all know what that means right?  Christmas is next month?!?  NO!!!  I mean, yes, it is, but aren't you forgetting something first?  That's right folks, THANKSGIVING IS HERE!!!  My favorite holiday of the year is coming up and I'm already eagerly prepping for the big meal!  But that is still a few weeks away.  We are in the here and now and right now, an old pal has come back and is ready to tell his most harrowing tale yet!  That's right dear readers, Ol' Tom Turkey is back and boy is he in for it now!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

What the?!?  Tom Turkey's been caught?!?  This can't be?  He's ALWAYS five steps ahead of those dastardly Brat Twins!  How could this have happened?  Wait, maybe this is just a dream or something?  I'm sure the next page will solve everything...

...Or maybe it won't, but hey!  At least Billy and Dorothy are somewhat merciful in letting Tom have a last request.  Given his history of quick thinking, most folks would've just done him in already.  Will Tom get to enjoy his Cackle Corner one last time before heading to the dinner table?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

Well, that's it for Week 1 of November as we go on an extended ride with Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins!  Be sure to come back next week and see how the story unfolds!  In the meant time, with the holidays rapidly approaching, Food Banks, clothing and toy donation centers are starting to pop up again so please consider donating this year.  Not everybody is as fortunate as others and every little bit helps.  Through kindness, we can heal our world.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN CRAZIES!!! 2024 EDITION!!!

It's here!  Halloween is here!  Tomorrow even!  I'll keep things short and sweet this week as I'm just as excited about things as y'all are!  Clover, Sap and Mooch are certainly ready to score big at Trick-Or-Treating, and I'm sure all three remembered to be wise enough to leave an offering to the Gregarious Gourd, lest they be tricked like last year!  Of course, wisdom and these three knuckleheads are often like oil and water, so hopefully they brought soap and water with them!

And that's a wrap for Halloween and the month of October!  I hope you enjoyed hanging out with some classic movie monsters and will come back next week as that tricky old bird, Tom Turkey, makes his return to the CRAZYVERSE!  For those taking part in some spooky festivities tomorrow night, please be safe.  Lotta things going on and a lotta people don't use their heads on Halloween night, so please be cautious and observant!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

NOSFERATU!!!

NEXT WEEK!!!  HALLOWEEN IS NEXT WEEK CRAZIES!!!  But this week we still got a guest to entertain!  He's enjoyed quite the resurgence in recent decades thanks to a certain cartoon sponge that appears on a network notorious for their poor treatment of creators, but that's neither here nor there!  He was gracious enough to appear this week at the CRAZYVERSE, so let's get to it!  Enjoy...

Count Orlok is here!  Often referred as Nosferatu, which ISN'T his actual name, the Count is actually among the earliest icons of the horror genre.  Largely forgotten as silent films began to get lost, it was a chance gag on an early-era episode of Spongebob that Count Orlok saw his star reignite!  Only problem is, we are now moving into a third generation of kids who think his name is NOSFERATU!!!  Eh, at least he was rediscovered.  As Meatloaf used to say, "Two out of three ain't bad!"

Well, that's four down and only one left to go as we get ready to scare the pants of a few people!  So be sure to came back next week and help get All Hallow's Eve off to a good start!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

METALUNA MUTANT MANIA!!!

We are almost there CRAZIES!!!  Halfway to Halloween!  And the call of turkey and sleigh bells aren't too far off either, but that's for another time!  Right now, these pumpkins we're made for carving, and that's just what we'll do!  We got another horror icon waiting in the wings and he's a bit blue that we haven't gotten to him yet, so lets get to it!  Enjoy...

The Metaluna Mutant!  An icon of early SciFi cinema, he's certainly got his fans.  So much so that there was actually a bit of backlash towards the MST3K crew when they riffed on it for Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie back in 1996!  If you take into account that A) It came out in the 1950's, a time when special effects were practically still being invented, and B) It was low budget to begin with, the movie was better than it had any right to be.  I feel MST3K's criticisms of story elements and such were fair, as it is cheesy as all get out.  But it's also one of the better films to get the Satellite of Love treatment and there were definitely more deserving titles out there.  I will say though, the film's low budget and inventing-wheel-still special effects are nowhere more evident than with the Metaluna Mutant.  I didn't just halfass the mutant's bottom half.  He LITERALLY looks unfinished in the movie too!  In someways, he set a trend.  Plenty of movie villains wear sweatpants now too!

Another one down as the Witching Hour gets closer and closer!  But before that can happen, we still gotta get through a few more posts, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

QUASI'S HERE! GET PUMPED!!!

We're back and getting more and more excited as the night of the pumpkin draws near!  At this point I'm hoping to have my yard display set up, but I've been seriously lagging in other areas lately, so, fingers crossed!  One of these days, I'll do an in depth post on how I put it all together and build the props, but that's for another day.  Y'all want art AND monsters, and I'm gonna deliver!  Our next CRAZY legend is here and ready to get spooked!  Enjoy...

No need to hunch over dear readers.  Quasimodo has entered the party scene and believe me, he is PUMPED for Halloween!  Few literary buffs realize just how practical Quasi's hunch truly is.  In addition to it supplementing his personality, it also servers as a crash pad and floatation device!  Yeah, I'm glad Quasimodo accepted our invitation.  The party was a bit flat without him!

Well, another week down as we get closer to the night of all things spooky!  But we still got plenty of fun left to be had, so be sure to come back and see who will show up next!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
