You are getting very sleepy. Your eyelids are getting heavier. As you fall deeper into this trance you will do exactly as I say. Heavier and heavier. Sleepier and sleepier…
Wednesday Picdump!
Good evening my beloved Minions! Tonight we celebrate Wednesday and the fact that your favorite Scarydad got the proper blades for his scroll saw so that nobody has to die tonight! That’s right. You see, long around this time of the year your old pal gets really into the holiday spirit and begins making toys in his workshop. Most of them are for Li’l Spawn, but if you’re really nice, I might just make one for you. Evil Voodoo curse included at no extra charge! Stay tuned over the next couple of days as I reveal some of the dastardly creations I currently have in incubation.
In the meantime, please enjoy your weekly picdump where I’ve scoured the universe for all that is good and wholesome, and corrupted it.
As always, if you like what you see please consider subscribing to our email list, Liking and Sharing on Facebook and Following on Twitter. Also, we are always taking submissions so send your pictures to me at scarydad@scarydad.com
Videos to Keep you from Sleeping: Best of Tim Burton
Good evening! Tonight’s post was inspired by this article in which the author argues that Tim Burton is one of several “genius” artists who created his best works by accident. He explains that the “best parts” of Burton’s films are the result of a great performance or an excellent screenwriter or composer, rather than the vision and ability of the director.
And I have to admit that when I saw the trailer for Dark Shadows I thought it was a joke. You mean to tell me that Burton, Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter are in yet another movie in which Depp plays pale and quirky? No thanks.
And the truth is, the points the blogger makes are valid.
Zombie Survival Quick Hit: Start a Fire Using Fritos
Hello there my beloved. I trust you all survived the recent holiday? I’m sure your continued existence is due at least in part to the advice you’ve been receiving here. No, no; no need to thank me yet. We still have a lot of ground to cover and there still exist teeming masses bent on consuming your brain. You can thank me later, and in the meantime I’ll think of some acceptable methods…
But tonight we must learn together. Tonight we discuss fire.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wednesday Picdump
Good Evening.
Tomorrow you shall feast. Tonight you shall enjoy a picture dump.
Happy Thanksgiving. I may not be around tomorrow. But if you have something you want to tell me, you can email me at scarydad@scarydad.com. Also Like on Facebook and/or follow on Twitter.
Now back to knives and things…
Fight Censorship
Warning, this post contains the following: profanity, anger, logic, & adult situations. If you or someone you might have met one time are not able to handle the things listed above, you need to leave now.
Good evening Minions. I posted my find on Twitter last week so for some of you this is old news. For the rest, I found all three volumes of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz with illustrations by Stephen Gammell at Half-Priced Books for about $2.00 each. This is a good thing for too many reasons, not the least of which is that these books are flippin’ awesome!
I bought all three and scoured the store for any more. Unfortunately, mine were the only available, though I will keep an eye out in the future.
These books were scary as shit when I was a kid and I loved them.
But did you hear…
Zombie Survival Series: Arm Yourself!
Hello Minions. This evening we continue our Zombie Survival Series so that when it all goes down, the only ones left will be us. Then we can rebuild society as it should be, with a lot more jet packs and a lot less Burger King.
As we prepare for the inevitable holocaust, we must ensure that the gear we carry is useful, trustworthy, and as lethal as possible. Whether your attacker is reanimated dead or a run of the mill street thug, if it threatens you or your family, it needs to be put down.
Tonight we discuss the ultimate survival weapon for almost any situation. Tonight we discuss…
Probably My Scariest Story
Good evening Minions. Recent events have awakened horrible memories and I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight unless I share them with you. Oh, the pain and the misery. Tonight I share the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. Scarier than living in a haunted house. Scarier than sleeping in a haunted hotel. No, this experience trumps both in terms of sheer terror.
Tonight I tell you the story of the time…
Wednesday Picdump
Good evening my Beloved. Tonight we return you to your regularly scheduled picdump. Your Scarydad is busy writing about what you need to do to avoid getting eaten by zombies so I won’t bore you with a lot of conversation tonight. Except to say this: Please submit pictures and story ideas to scarydad@scarydad.com. Follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook. We have Pinterest and Tapiture accounts too.
Link up and tell all your friends about the darkhorse website that your parents despise but that’s won your heart and that you’re going to marry. Tell them to join us if they ever want to see daylight again. Tell them that, then ask them if this rag smells like chloroform. If they fall over, that’s normal. Don’t even worry about it. Everything is going to be all right.
