I Want This!

Hello Minions. I apologize for showing up late tonight. I’ve been in the middle of super secret important stuff and couldn’t break away. But, now here I am. Tonight we’re going to do something a little different.

We all know that Sandy Claws will be coming over soon to clog our chimneys with presents. And for some reason tonight I feel the Christmas spirit a little bit. The other night I began my wish list for this time of the year. As I was doing research for something else entirely, I stumbled upon this: The Addams Family – The Complete Series and I thought about how much I love that show and how I haven’t seen it in reruns lately so that it wold be a perfect gift for me!

And if I like it, your loved ones are bound to love it too because I have impeccable taste!

I Want This!

Mezco Frank
If you have someone in your life who is a fan of classic monster movies, this Universal Monsters 9″ Frankenstein figure by Mezco Toys is a pretty good gift idea. And just in case you were wondering, I have a spot on the shelf in the lair that would make old Frank feel right at home.

Seriously. I saw this figure at Toys R Us the other day but it’s that time of the year when I’m not allowed to buy stuff for myself. 😉

Videos to keep you from Sleeping

Good evening everyone. Wow, what a weekend! We made it through the first annual Scarydad Halloween Bash and boy was it fun! Only just now are the various potions and poisons I consumed beginning to wear off. My fangs are retracting as we speak but the sensitivity to light is still pretty intense. I believe this recovery may take a while.

But hey, I’m still here for you. Tonight we present some horror fodder to help you sleep a little better. Pay special attention to American Horror Story. This is a truly frightening show and I cannot wait for Wednesday night for the second episode.

Have fun!

Scarydad Updates and News

Hello there everyone. I must apologize for my lack of instructional tutorials this week. Every now and then one must flush the lab of the things that just won’t die and set traps for new things. That’s what’s been going on here. In addition, Spawn of Scarydad opened one of my cages and let something out. I’m not sure what it is (or was) but it seems to not want to go back into the cage nor does it enjoy being poked with a sharp stick.

Kids and their pets, I tell you!

Anyway, at this point the lab and the castle are clean. We will be having some guests for dinner tomorrow, so I get to lobotomize some pumpkins and Bride will be mixing spices and victuals for the feast. That reminds me that I need to apply electricity to the battery in my camera so I can capture the moments for to share with you. I guess Spawn will continue to poke at whatever that miserable thing in her closet is.

In closing, I ask you to do something today that scares you. Because Pennywise

Good day!

The Secret Origin of Scarydad

Origin Story

Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?

Have you ever wondered how a somewhat normal husband and father became the demigod you all know and love? Did you know that before the madness and the scars that Scarydad was a lot like you? Well, I was.

Gather close my Minions. Tonight I will share with you the series of events that gave the world your favorite mad blogger, taken from the journals of the person I once was:

Congratulations to two wonderful people!

Hello Minions, you may have noticed that the site was a bit quiet over the weekend. That’s because I had the honor of taking part in my best good friend’s wedding. We drank, we laughed, we drank some more, and then we had some drinks. Toasts, drinks, drinks, and more drinks occurred all afternoon and evening Friday and Saturday, with a slight pause for the actual ceremony. Scarydad believes he actually died sometime over the weekend because it’s impossible to feel this crappy and still be alive.

But, dead or alive, I’m back at the keyboard and will have some new tutorials for you later this evening or tomorrow.

And congratulations to Chris and Amy. Y’all done good.

 

It’s Decoration Time!!!

Halloween

September is gone and so is summer! It’s time for pumpkins, skulls, witches, and vampires! It’s time to choose costumes and decorate our haunts! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s OCTOBER!!!

I was able to get part one of what I hope will be a massive yard haunt up yesterday. The images are still being drying in the dark room, so we must be patient. In the coming days I will guide you through the process and show you how to make many fun things.

Oh, I’m so excited I could just KILL someone!

(And I have just the perfect place for the body!)

New Orleans Picdump

New Orleans

Ah, The Big Easy. What do I love the most? Is it the the music, the food, and the history? The architecture and the attitude? The weirdos and the voodoo?

I swear I never noticed the guy in the horse mask until I uploaded this picture. The answer is all of the above and everything else! 

I love this town!

Another Crazy N’awlins Story

Somehow much less evil than last time and I still got pretty creeped out.

Hello there Minions. As promised, I will share my recent experience in the wonderfully haunted city of New Orleans. This time something occurred that is scarier than any time before it and is so bizarre I’m still creeped out about it days later. So, first I will tell you a story and I promise you it is entirely true and in no way embellished. Then I will share with you pictures and descriptions of this awesome and awful place.

Home from New Orleans- What a city!

New Orleans

Good Evening Minions and Happy October! I apologize for the span of time between the last post and this one. You see, I was compelled to travel to the most haunted city on Earth to collect stories and pictures for you, my beloved. Unfortunately I had both crappy internet and a serious case of the being on vacation and wasted on Bourbon Street to properly keep up with the daily business.

But, I am back! I have a camera full of haunting images and a few great stories that I promise to tell you tomorrow. In the meantime I must go perform the “dad” part of Scarydad and put my #1 minion to bed. Enjoy this picture of a skeleton breaking out of a coffin and say a few prayers. You will need them when I return tomorrow.

New Orleans

Goodnight
