Yikes! Hardly have our scattered leaves settled, than
our 'Portable Patch' falls prey to -- well,
Outstanding Cosplay presentation from Aliens FX!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
FANS
from around the Wide,
Weird World begin
flocking to the show's
ready Vendors, amid
a cavernous, creepy
cornucopia of
Ghoulish Goodies...!
 
Scupltures, Posters,
Make-Up FX, Masks,
Props, Costumes, Toys
& Collectibles -- if it
was Monstrous, it
was HERE...
The first "Fun Couple" (of many
during the show) to stop by
The Cart for a visit...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Ash - to - Ash...!"
Cosplayer "Flo Vas as Ash" points to his encounter with
The Cart at ScareLA, back in August 2015...!
(We had a laugh and shared a "high-five" -- and then I went to
the closest hospital's Emergency Room for 117 stitches).

"Beauty VS. The Beast!" ~

~ Round IX...!!
Sensational Cosplay action...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
This "Mad Hare" showed up to remind
us that although Halloween reigned
inside the PCC, Spring was wildly-
springing outside in late April...
"Balok" beamed-in on Saturday, well-into the 'Tranya'
(again). His "Alter Ego" had to call Uber...
Everybody beaded-up a bit when Chaney's
"Red Death" stopped by for a visit, but he
really turned out to be a great guy, told
lots of good jokes, and shook hands all
around before moving on...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
This frisky "BlackWolf" gives us a shout, er, "howl"-out
for "The Pumpkin Song's" 2,000,000 + ( ! ) views on YouTube...!
 
"Edwina Scissorhands" paused with The Cart for an edgy moment...
(Cart Mascot-Pumpkin "Bud" really took a liking to her...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"R.I.P. the Undertaker"
came by to dig our scene... Dig his, at ~
Dearly Departed Tours (.com)
This "Alien Scientist"
( -should that be "CYAN-tist"?- )
almost gave us "the sixth finger" when we said he couldn't take Lou for his experiments...
  We were 'nutsa' for Eirania Schmolesky's "Bolta Lightning"...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Cart Mascot-Pumpkin 'Lou' held a fascination
for this "Sea Troll"...
 
(Cool also that Eliot B. allowed well-behaved pets.)
"Aqua-Lure" swam along in a world
all his own -- and who could blame him?
We found his deadly 'luminescent lure'
almost irresistible as well...
Just don't get too close, if you like your nose...!
Midian Crosby's "Anenome Lady" surfaced with her cute Little Urchin, to trill along with "The Pumpkin Song"...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Cosplayer Danielle Bradford,
in lethally fine form as
her chillingly charming
Elvira-homage,
"Countess Canterburry"
once again graced The Cart
with her dark allure...
(She's VERY popular
with The Pumpkins!)
 
(We almost ran out of
Postcards that day!
For some reason, they
suddenly became a
hot collectible...)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Professor Wes Weasley, Director of Theremin Studies"
was absolutely picking up on the
Good Vibrations...
(and broadcasting them, too!)
 
(Oh yeah, Prof., we understand...)
He invited show guests to wave
their hands up and down around
his weirdly-humming antenna...
 
(Before the Security People came
and took him away, that is.)
 
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"The Joker"
shares a grin or two ~
~ with "Harley Q", and Bud and
Lou too...!
"Glasgow kiss, laddie?" You'd LOSE... Stunning Mask by Kierstin LaPatka...!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 

This Guy Was ORANGE.

Really, Really ORANGE.
Whoa...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Cosplayer Chris Hanan's "Mad Ventriloquist's Dummy" points to --
himself...! When he menaced The Cart at ScareLA back in August '15.
Rob Burman's "Medusa" slithered by,
kvetching that she's always looking
for a new Stylist...
(We're sure you can guess why.)
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Cruella DeVille" brought along one of her "Doomed Dalmations"...
"Fire & Ice" sizzled with their own steamy Style...
 
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
~ Other "Fun Couples" included ~

At least one of these "Psycho Clowns" is Lindsey Capria
"Put on a Happy Face ...!" she said. And so he did. Literally.
( Only in this case, maybe not such a happy one, eh...? ).
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
Great to see "Gomez & Morticia" again, posing with Themselves, posing
with The Cart (in "living" color) at last September's Son of MonsterPalooza!;
Such Style, such Poise, such Joie de Vivre! ( Uh-oh -- that's FRENCH, isn't it...? )
Their villainous and morbid children,
"Pugsley & Wednesday" (Auburn Mystique Cosplay)
visited a short while later. Never, EVER, turn your back on them.
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Little Wednesday"
was seen sometime later, her
Fiendish Family lurking
nearby...
 
( And, she had, evidently, somehow
TELEPORTED HERSELF BACK IN
TIME, from her eariler visit
to The Cart! )
We were all more than just
a little bit afraid of her
by then...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"'Trick-Or-Treat!' - Smell my -- "
Uh, NO -- ! No, Sam... No thanks, kid...

flitted by The Cart on Sunday...

"Transforming" experience. HE did.

stopped by to share a smile. Or, um, whatever...
"The Walking MONSTER",
(Anthony Jones) growls a rojo greeting!
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
This lanky "WereWolf" loped by,
out for a hairy howl!
Lots of TEETH --
-- were flashed around that weekend...,
-- but nothing quite like Hawgfly's "Toothy Geisha's"
hungry smile...! (Theresa LaMonstre, model)
"Vampire Girl" was off to the Concession Window, to greet the Guests...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Tables Turned!" (a Particular Favorite with The Pumpkins...!)
"PuppetMan", and also, a Nice Guy with a Mohawk.
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
seemed like she was out looking for
'Mr. Freeze' -- and good luck to him
if she finds him...
 
"Mr. Green Mile Man"
(and his Little Friend)
had us all "Respecting The Mile".
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)
 
"Number 6" escaped The Village
long enough to say he'd "Be Seeing" us...

The Cart 100% Walking-Dead-Free...!

paused for a charismatic greeting...
(Page Top)   (Mail, Patch Swag, & Links)

Ring-a-ding-ding!

a 'face-off- with the Pumpkins!
(He won.)

wearing a mesmerizing suit &
proudly-plumed chapeau, and,
a tie with a cherry on top!
