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.

Goodnight

Wednesday Picdump

Halloween

Good morning Minions. I know it’s Thursday and that your picdump is late. I have contacted The Morrigan and asked her to set a curse upon the flaky DSL router that caused this travesty. Please accept my sincere apologies and enjoy these frightful images anyway. As always you may submit your own pictures for a chance at internet stardom to scarydad@scarydad.com. Have a wonderful day.

Videos to keep you from sleeping- Special Music Edition

Good evening Minions. Wow. It has been a very busy week in the lab. I installed some more power and got to work creating havoc and mischief once again. What fun!

Anyway, I have some picture projects coming soon but unfortunately I have to wait for some paint to dry. In the meantime, here is a list of really great songs for you to have on your playlist during your Halloween party. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to Stephen King and Bill F@#king Murray!!!

Happy birthday to the master of horror, Mr. Stephen King!!!

When I was probably way to young to read it, I acquired a copy of Pet Sematary. To this day I still think cats are untrustworthy and that sometimes, dead is better.

One of my favorite novels ever is ‘Salem’s Lot, and because of It, both gutters and clowns are things to be diligently avoided. 

Thank you sir, and happy birthday.

And thank you sir. Groundhog day is brilliant and so is Ghostbusters. Then there was Zombieland,

Any regrets? Garfield, maybe.

That’s just funny. Happy birthday to you too, sir.

 

Wednesday Picdump

Zombie Bites!

Good evening once again my beloved. Tonight I present to you another set of images to amaze and inspire you to create the most best Halloween costume ever. And as always you should grab a camera and submit photos of your most best Halloween costumes, ideas, etc. and send them to me at scarydad@scarydad.com

Before I go I must explain the first of tonight’s pictures. Spawn of Scarydad, my sweet little daughter, sometimes eats these little chicken nugget meals that come with smiley-faced french fries. Every time she feasts on one these dinners, she dutifully takes a bite out of the head of each smiley fry, and then chomps the chin of one of the three. She does this every time. What does this mean for the future of humanity? I DON’T KNOW!

Anyway, enjoy the rest of tonight’s entry.

Scary Movie Night: The Walking Dead

Walking Dead Hmmm. Two zombie related posts in one week? Must have been someone I ate. (Cue thunderclap and maniacal laughter.) Ah, my beloved Minions, I just can’t wait till I start doing videos and podcasts; I’ll be so funny you’ll laugh yourself to death! Ok, enough with the puns. It’s just been one of those days. And I know that our subject tonight is not a movie and is in fact a television show. I know this. But it’s also scary as hell and the third season is about to start and if you hurry you can get all caught up in time for the season premiere. (more…)

Summer Reading: World War Z

World War Z

Good evening Minions. Our favorite season approaches. Soon the evenings will be cool and the air will carry the scent of burning leaves and pumpkin spice. However, Autumn does not arrive until September 22nd. Therefore you still have time to finish a book or two for Summer Reading. Tonight’s selection is World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks.

Scary Movie Night: Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

When I was about 15 years old, my dad worked up a list of several classic movies he thought I needed to see. Among these were films such as Cool Hand Luke and The Great Escape. There weren’t many scary movies on the list, but this one was actually close to the top of it. At the time I was a little bit cynical of “old” stuff. I had a stupid kid’s opinion that the special effects wouldn’t measure up and that it was all just cheese and dudes in monkey costumes. My life changed when I sat down with my dad and watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I think this film is responsible for hatching my love of scary movies in general. Before Invasion, they were just cool. After Invasion, they were, or at least could be, important.
