It's beginning to look a lot like Creepmas!

I'm on board for this years Creepmas event. While I won't have time to do the big, in depth posts I did last year, I will still be putting up some visual Holiday creepiness. What is Creepmas you say? Here is the definition, straight from the horses jack-o-lantern's mouth!


What Is CREEPMAS?
CREEPMAS is a good-natured push back at Retail America for trying to force Christmas down our throats as early as July. Something has gone seriously wrong with how holidays are marketed to us in the last 5 years. When you go to a major retail store in mid-October only to find they've gotten rid of all their Halloween merchandise in favor of snowmen & Santas, well, it's time to take action!
Something as utterly ridiculous as Christmas trees in August deserves an equally ridiculous response!
CREEPMAS is for those Halloween lovers and Monster Kids who want to say "enough is enough" - if they're going to put their Christmas into our Halloween, then let's put our Halloween into their Christmas! Tim Burton showed us that it can be done with marvelous results, and we're definitely following his lead.
The 13 Days of Creepmas is an online Celebration of Spookiness from December 1 - 13. The idea is to bring a macabre twist to Christmas and the holidays. Get creative and post it on your blog - share your twisted yule visions with the world!
Now bear in mind - this is for FUN. We're not out to ruin other peoples' holidays and sabotage/vandalism are NOT what we're promoting. Leave the neighbors' nativity scene alone. The 13 Days of Creepmas is about how you decorate yourself, your home and/or your life to let the world know that you are a CREEP! Wear it loud, wear it proud!
And Thanksgiving? Sorry, you turkey - you're on your own.

I'm a CREEP for The 13 Days of CREEPMAS

Make sure you drop by December 1st through the 13th for some good old chilling cheer and a howling good Holiday!

  2. I am not much for "joining the crowd"....But as with last year I like to put a creepy "twisted" spin on this holiday season.... But The "Crypt" has not joined "Creepmas" ... although we do try our best on our own to give our followers .. the same type of posts... I really enjoy all of the "Christmas/Horror" that is being posted... A very happy Holiday season to you and yours from the Doctor...
