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!

ROCKIN' OUT WITH LUDO!!!

Welcome to October CRAZIES!!!  We're already deep into the Spooking Season, but now we're REALLY amping up the creepy factor as Halloween is that much closer!  And how is the CRAZYVERSE getting ready for the big day?  By inviting some horror legends to come get CRAZY with us!  Our first guest is even here already!  Who is it?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Hey hey!  It's Ludo, the gentle giant of Jim Henson's classic fantasy film, Labyrinth!  Granted, it's not a horror flick, but those goblins (Not to mention David Bowie's, er, Major Tom) gave quite a few kids nightmares back in the day.  Luckily, we all grew up to be well adjusted adults who now appreciate just how wonderful Henson's fantasy epics truly were!  Here, Ludo displays his amazing ability to command rocks.  Wonder if this means he can command THE Rock?  Guess we'll learn in the future when this movie gets inevitably remade!

Well, that's it for this week, but we'll be back next time with another legend of fantasy and horror as the CRAZY march to Halloween continues!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
