"Crumpkin's

~ "We're Here...!" ~
The Cart's pair of
Mascot Pumpkins,
"Bud & Lou",
Light-Up to Greet
the Show's Guests
and Monsters
( - and More! - ),
with plenty of Treats
( - and just a few Tricks - )
waiting in store...!
Cart Mascot 'King' Cobra "Elvis"
slithers-forth in friendly play!
(He likes to hear those SCREAMS all day...)
The Cart's Victims um, Visitors are fiendishly
lured-in by our Free Posters, Winable Swag,
& irresistable Pumpkin Pie Saltwater Taffy!
Cart Mascot Rat "Choppers"
flashes you his charming grin
( -- as he eyes your tasty shin...).
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
...COMETH THE NIGHT ~ Friday Evening's SHOW OPENING...!
...And -- Eeek! -- The Cart
has attracted its very first
VISITORS...!
Like an Evil Moth drawn
to a Sinister Candle --
-- Cosplayer Chris Hannan
now manifests after dark as a
wholly-unwholsome NEW
character: Salem's Lot's
"Kurt Barlow"...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Autumn's-in-the-air in the Marriott's Quad...
...And the always-alluring Cosplayer Danielle Bradford
comes Trick-or-Treating at The Cart! (See why we stock
the Pumpkin Pie Saltwater Taffy...? heh...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
SOLD OUT! A Wrap-Around Saturday Crowd queues-up in the Marriott's Quad -- 'steady prey' for "The CP Pumpkin Pie Cart" (seen above)...!
MONSTER FANS swarm in...(!),
spanning the Convention Hall's North
North face, queing East-to-West --
(The shockingly-Cool-&-Classic
"Girls & Corpses" Magazine Hearse
waits on display at the Convention Hall's
Main Entrance...)
-- and winding South into the Quad area,
and then around the Quad, in a
U-turn back North again...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
ON WITH THE SHOW !
The Cart gets its first fearsome Saturday
greetings as SON of Monsterpalooza
Arises through the weekend...!
"Alas, poor Threepio...!"
Star Wars 'Wookie-Monster',
"Chewbacca (& Force-full Friend)"
brandishes the patinated-Pate of
dismembered-droid C-3PO, who,
despite his current predicaments,
can still often be counted on
when needed to lend a hand.
And making a rather pointed entrance
is -- "Iron Man" (um, not 'That' one),
arriving in fully-fettered
'Road Warrior'-style...
 
(He's been chained to Bit Parts up until now,
but just got his big break -- and is soon to
be seen in "The Nasty Hands of Dr. No"...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
'Ere long the hearts of The Cart's
Mascot Pumpkins were captured
by the indomitably-attractive
"Wonder Woman!"
Usually wary of sharp-implements,
The Pumpkins seemed okay with
her gear, as long as she generally
pointed it in the opposite
direction...
Even so, Lou was overheard
quipping to Bud that, "she could
'carve him up' any ol' Halloween!"
Bud said that wasn't any puny little
'kitchen knife' she was wielding,
and Lou should be careful what
he asks for -- if he didn't want
an extra face.
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
The "Akkk!" is Back...!,
and NOBODY'S safe -- when
"Mars Attacks...!"
 
Nobody, perhaps, except
for "The Predator"
(who looks like he EATS
Martians for breakfast...!)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
 
Always 'a regular cut-up' --
Chris Hannan's
"Ventriloquist's Dummy"
maniacly mimes Hello!
(Chris's 3rd Cosplay appearance
at the Show so far...)
"Morticia & Gomez" tuned-in to say Hi.
Always on Their Own Channel, those two...
 
The Pumpkins enjoyed sharing a
warm-and-fuzzy moment with
"The Bearded Lady "
(Bud & Lou weren't going to ask --
but however that cut there, she clearly
didn't get it while shaving.)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Mini-Freddy" time-travelled back
to show-off his cool Cardboard Claws...
(...The Pumpkins agreed he sure had a
clearer complexion 'back in the day'.)
"Myers & Son" -- A father shares his pride:
"He's a real Slice-Off-the-Ol' Block...!"
There were also lots of other
"Small Fly"
(like this little lab-catastrophe)
-- buzzing-around the Festivities...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Be thy Castle -- HAUNTED...?
WHO'art Thou Gonna CALL...?
"Ye GHOST BUSTERS!"
Creative Artist and Shakespeare buff
Cosplayer Jordon Monsell prowl'eth
ye Quad grounds attired in Elizabethan-era
Wraith-Wrangling Raiments, most Original
in Craft... And yea! -- He doth wield
'Ye Enchant'ed Crossbow'...!
(Be Ye Warn'ed! -- Cross'eth NOT Ye
 Enchanted Arrows!)
 
'Od's Blob-kin! Verily -- he hath been 'SLIME-ed'...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
 
Taking the unabashed view that
"Meat Is Murder" via a very chic ensemble,
Kayla Arena (& Toby Barron)'s gleefully
carnivorous Fashion Statement had everybody
at The Cart in stitches (though, um, she had
rather more of them anyone)...
 
Of course the appropriate Accessories
are SO important...
(Kayla was a particular favorite with
"The Catering Staff" -- )
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Face-Off...! (and, um, Back-On...)"
Some Masks are still fun to wear, even
after they start to smell a bit...
'Always nice when "Killer Clowns" (like this one)
show up to work with their own Tools...
And, rounding-off the Catering Staff...
(For some reason, his Mask was a particular
favorite of Bud & Lou's.)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Makin' The Monster
his own,
"Franken-RIP"
scares the pigment
right off The Cart,
as towering Cosplayer
Rick Galiher --
-- (also known as
'RIP-The-Undertaker'),
looms larger than
-- um, well..., uh --
"Life" may not be
exactly the right
word...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
This awsomely-airbrushed "Warrior Maiden" had
Bud & Lou both grinning big trying to win her attention...
(Evidently she didn't mind being 'BADGERED' a bit.)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 

Noel paused at The Cart, out of costume and character for the moment --

Cosplayer Noel Jason Scott

-- Channeling his "Inner-Tor"...

-- but never out of Style.
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
SOME BAD HATS
( ~ of the Cool Kind, that is ~ )
-- included a shamble-stitched
"Scarecrow's Cap" :
-- While this "Steampunk Enviro-naut"
showed-off his 'Swiss-Army-Chapeau'...
(And then, there were the Shoes...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Stranger Cosplay
would be hard to find
anywhere else, really,
as 'Stranger Things'
"Eleven" &
"The Demogorgon"
had an unfortunate
little 'tete-a-tete' while
visiting Tbe Cart --
 
"Hey! Leggo' my Eggo!"
"Are YOU talkin' to
ME?"
(We, um, finally had
to ask them to "Take It
SomeWhere/When/What
Else..." )
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Jimmy Who?"
gave The Cart a truly
Spirited Manifestation
(not long after being
seen conversing nearby
with The Martian who
visited earlier)...
 
(He wasn't very, um,
'Monsterous', true...,
but Bud & Lou were
longtime fans, and for
a brief, beautiful
moment -- All Along
the Quad, The day's
Haze was never
Purpler...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
'Scream'... Eye..., 'Scream'... Eye...
Hmmmm...
We were sure there was a 'message' of
some kind here -- but Bud & Lou's
guesses were all Cold...
No clues from her soggy friend, "J.V.",
just a bit of 'camp humor' ...
 
The Cart was handsomely haunted
by this dapper "Hatbox Ghost"
(Unfortunately "The Hatbox's
'Contents'" were a bit camera-shy
here, but the effect-- if you, um,
saw it -- was really cool...!
(Lou kept asking him for 'rides', until
Bud told him to knock it off.)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
The Cart's Good Fiend "Raven" has his own
endearing way of saying "Hello"...
"Smiley 4-Blades" (aka, 'The Grin-Reaper')
brought a Winter's Chill -- early, and SHARP...!
And speaking of 'grins', this "Little Ghoul"
-- made a match with The Pumpkins!
"Mystic Maiden" stands here glaring,
sticks-in-hair, and bone-knife-baring...
(We wondered how her Date was faring...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
The Cart has seen
"The Walking Monster"
(Cosplayer Anthony Jones)
in some 'colorful' situations
at past Shows -- but being
the "Monster Sandwich"
between playfully-pigmented
body paint models
Brigitte Berlin Beedle
and Rachel Hollon
is one of the best photo-ops
he's ever 'horned'-into...!

Tales tell of The Cart surving some Pretty Palpatating Situations in shows past,
but The Pumpkins may find this 'face-off' too stunning -- Could This be THE END?
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Looking like toxic broccoli, masterful "Magee FX's Monster Minions"
were conspicuously 'Despicable' for a few mutatedly-merry moments,
before jauntily turning-tail and moving along...
As they went on their way, everybody wished the fun
at SON of MonsterPalooza would never stop...
But for now, THIS -- absolutely -- is
~ THE END! ~
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
And so ~
~ sails through its latest Scary, Saucy,
Sensational, Apparition-filled appearance,
at another spectacularly-successful --
"SON of MONSTERPALOOZA!"
(Autumn, 2017)
-- 'Serving-Up' a Portable Patch-full
of Ghastly Goodies, such as:
- Savory visits to "The Herb Garden"...!
- Often-fatal "Hay Maze" excursions...!
- Sinister late-night snacks from
"Terror Trailer Theatre...!
- Daily PRIZES for Gift Shop explosions...!
