July 30th, 2016 -- FRIGHT FANS BEGIN QUEING ~
~ in The Long Beach Convention Center ~
~ anticipating Midsummer Scream's Debut...!
(rt, Show Producer David Markland ...making the scene happen...!

"The Pie Cart" arrives -- !
-- and our busy little "Carlotta"
spins-up a comfortable canopy of
leaf-strewn webwork (and as usual
Mascot Pumpkin "Bud" mugs for the
camera...)
 
Not long at all before
"The Portable Patch" --
-- is ready for a full weekend of
Fresh Victims (!)
heh...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
One of "MidsummerScream's" Official Greeters: this "Tall Bonker" reminded us, that --
-- To a Hammer --
- every problem looks like a Nail...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
This "Dapper Corpse" had an eye
for the 'finer things' in life, to be sure.
Pity he lost it in that fatal brawl...
"Ol' Button-Eyes" was a real 'cut-up' -- !
-- and soon had everybody in stitches...!
Doesn't this "Buckled-Beauty" look like she could KILL you with that GlowStick in less than a second? Oooo.
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"The Fiji Mermaid"
made a (literally) moving Side-Show appearance..., thanks to the help of --
"The Bearded Lady",
whose innocent blond curls-aplenty belied the tales ('tails?') told in her eyes...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Harmless Flirtation"...?
We think it's gone a bit farther than that.
~ More Fun Couples... ~
(Nothing like a Day at the Faire for a touch of romance, eh...?)
Contemplating another happy-go-lucky bit'o'mayhem,
these blood-spattered "Murderouos Mimes" still like to
stop and smell (their Victim's) flowers...
"Little Hannibal" & his "Undead Lass"
"Bud" and "Herb" (b.g.) can't see the allure.
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
This dapper "Hat Lady" in Red,
stopped to pose
in her Spider-Webbed Threads --
 
 
-- And returned the next day,
now in Green, Goggled-Up
for a quaint 'Steampunk' scene...!
 
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Too bad..., too bad..., too bad...
The Lads in the "Gene Lab" went mad...
Escaped
"GENETECH" Mutation:
"The Human Fly-Trap" -- !
 
Escaped
"GENETECH"Mutation:
"The Melting Man"...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Two "Striking Beauties" -- One of whom looks like she might actually STRIKE you (-- and you-know-who, "Morticia")...
(And even so, we didn't trust "The Good Witch" one bit -- that smile..., too, too 'nice'... Y'know...? Hmmm.)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Ever on the loose,
"The Prince of the Purple Straight-Jacket"
paused to have a "nose duel" with Cyrano (bg),
which was judged "Too close to call"...
 
 
Always ready to 'inject' a bit of humor,
"Mr. Needlefingers"
pointedly stopped by The Pie Cart to
shake hands, and show off his
new "Rasta-Steampunk" dreads...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"The Squirming Nurses"
convulsed-on-by for a twitch or two --
 
-- their spasmodic "bedside manor"
quite horrifying...
 
(One can only imagine them trying
to draw blood...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Poor "Screw-Brows" went all to pieces
when he saw (get it?, "saw") --
-- unaware that recently-escaped maniac
"Stitchie-The- Hammer" may have a
bit of "Conk-ing" in mind too...
-- "The Martian Ambassador", on the look-out for Earthlings to Conquer -- !
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Haunting Harlequins"
paused to 'Check-In' --
Each One separate,
('though looking like 'Twins')...
 
...Stylish-of-Guise,
with strange and keen Eyes --
that chilled you,
in spite of their Grins...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Del Howison of "Dark Delicacies" gave The Pie Cart a graciously-grave visit!
(sharing a scary moment with "Patch Admin" Johnny Curtis)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
The Tall, Tall, TALL...! (Better RUN, y'all...!)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
-- And the small..., small..., small..., these "CHILLING Kiddies", all! (...And WHATEVER you do, DON'T trip and FALL...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Ooogie-Boogie!" brought some 'little friends'
(who looked stolen from Beetlejuice's Hat) --
-- and for one creepy moment, it was indeed
'Christmas-In-July'...!
"Morticia & Wendy" were clearly overjoyed...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"The Meat Cute..."
We're sure these Killer Kids
(both "Pie Cart" Visitors)
are headed for some beautiful --
Lycanthropic,
Post-Apocalyptic,
Pan-Tribal,
Pro-Survival,
Shaman-tasic,
Pre-fascistic,
Cold-Wet-Nose-alicious,
Super-Skullifragilistic
-- GOOD TIMES..., eh?
 
We wish them All The Beast...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
The Pie Cart caught the malevolently-mute attention of one
"Seriously Creepy Mime" --
-- as well as The "Haunted Queen Mary's" rich-and-strangely
be-barnacled "Captain"...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
While all the nearby 'Hitchophiles'
flocked to enjoy a supremely
inspired homage --
-- as "Tippi &The Birds"
fluttered-by to share a delightful
moment of Aggravated-Avian-Assault...!
Truly, a most excellent "Midsummer Scream" indeed...!
