The 13 Days of Creepmas: Day 6

"On the Sixth Day of Creepmas, my true love gave to me
Six creeps a-posing!"

Posing for their pictures, that is...



Well, THIS is a VERY creepy pic, if you ask me!  The Grinch and Jack Skellington just DO NOT mix well..




 Ick.  Just... Ick.  Although I do like the mangy cat with the fake horn.  But take a really close look at the "presents" and "decorations", not to mention the guy's hands...


 
This last one isn't creepy (at least, not to me), but it's fun!  It was taken by a student or teacher in a real biology class.  Now that's MY kind of class!  ;-)

The 13 Days of Creepmas: Day 5

"On the Fifth Day of Creepmas, my true love gave to me
Five creeeepy ornaments!"

Admit it... you've never seen anything quite like these on a Christmas tree, have you???

The 13 Days of Creepmas: Day 4

"On the Fourth Day of Creepmas, my true love gave to me
Four cryptic cemeteries!"

(Yes, you read that right.  I'm being clever with words today...)  ;-)



The circular scope makes me feel like I have a zombie's eye view...


(Highgate Cemetery, London, England)
This is more creepING than creepY, if you get my meaning.


Now, this pic is TOTALLY creepy to me!  Could this be... Santa's elf graveyard???


I don't think I want to know...

Check out the cemetery nearest you and see what kinds of creepy stuff you can find there, besides the obvious (if it can creep GOTHS out, it must be scary!!).

The 13 Days of Creepmas: Day 3

"On the Third Day of Creepmas, my true love gave to me
Three scary stockings*!"

What DO you think Santa will put in them?????

*The top one was from www.etsy.com/forbiddenfruit, but is no longer available; however, she does have many more to choose from!  The other two were from an Etsy shop called AnniesUpcycled that is no longer in business.

The 13 Days of Creepmas: Day 2

"On the Second Day of Creepmas, my true love gave to me
Two skull cakes!!"









I would loooove to have one or both of these cakes*, they are SO awesomely realistic!  But I think raspberry or strawberry filling would be appropriate here...  ;-)


*(I found both pics randomly on Google images.)

The 13 Days of Creepmas: Day 1

So here we are at the beginning of The 13 Days of Creepmas, a delightfully gothy way of getting back at the stores for insisting on stocking Christmas stuff as early as August and elbowing out the Halloween stuff before October 31st.

"On the First Day of Creepmas, my true love gave to me
Some eyeballs on a fir tree!"

(Don't you just LOVE the Jack-O-Lantern base and the Jack Skellington Claus topper????)


And so that I'm not a Grinch and borrowing something without telling where I found it, and where YOU can find it, too, here is the info for this wonderful image:

Merry Creepmas!

The 13 Days of Creepmas: Are YOU a Christmas Creep???

What DO you do after Halloween is over?  I'll tell you what I do... spend lots of time trying to avoid those obnoxious pre-Christmas sales!  There are Christmas trees up and Christmas music playing in the stores already, I HATE that!!!  At least have the courtesy to wait until the day after Thanksgiving!  Anyway, as I was saying...  Back in 2011, I found out about "The 13 Days of Creepmas", and had a total blast with it on my old LiveJournal blog.  I missed it entirely last year, but I don't want to do THAT again, so I'm getting ready early this year.  :-)

Here are the rules from the latest 2013 13 Days of Creepmas blog post:

"Following the methodology of the Countdown to Halloween, The 13 Days of Creepmas is open to any blog that posts spooky content from December 1 - 13. While the primary focus is on permuted and subverted holiday imagery and traditions (i.e., giving Christmas the Jack Skellington treatment), Creepers (blogs who sign up) are welcome to post *any* spooky material to qualify as participants. The main thing is to bring that Halloween Spirit into the first 2 weeks of December, just as every store in America has brought Christmas into October.

If you'd like to add your blog to the festivities, either leave a comment or tweet the Cult of the Great Pumpkin (they're helping us out with this) with your blog link. Easy peasy!

The usual disclaimers apply: No porn, no hate, no idiocy. This is about how YOU are getting creepily creative for the Hallowdays, not how you can ruin it for somebody else. Any blogs found to be engaging or promoting sabotage, vandalism, etc. will be removed."

I won't be participating "officially", but I will be posting "creepy" Christmas stuff here for our mutual edification from December 1st through the 13th.  It'll be fun to see what strange things I can find to post for 2013!
