Welcome to the Blog of Horror...Enter If You Dare...

Contained within this blog are the most unimaginable horrors known to man. Things only whispered in the dark have clawed their way to the surface to revel in this thing we all know...love...and fear....the Blog Party. And not just any blog party. We're talking about the Mother of All Halloween Blog Parties...



Mothers, hide your children! Men, bar the door! Super old people with heart conditions, take your aspirin! For you are about to enter...Just Add Glitter and Stir's:

House of Oddities

Muwahahahahahahahaha!

Banned in 51 states, this is the show you've tweeted about...in your nightmares! Never before has this collection been on display for all to see, to witness, to lament! (Except for that one time. There was some...unpleasantness and we are no longer allowed in Home Depot.) And yet, here it is! For today only! (or until the next blog post is written) Prepare to be amazed! Prepare to be horrified! Prepare to be boarded! Step right up and see...

The Playlist of HORROR, discovered deep in the ancient tomb of Mount Craptacular...


Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones


For the first time ever, live and in person The Amazing Beeman! The man that's half bee...half man!



A farm accident caused a lamb to be fused with the World's Cutest Baby! Shudder in horror as you witness the terror of...BambLamb!



And for the naughty child that wants a puppy but refuses to eat nutritious food...

Dumpkin, the legendary creature covered in fur and full of seeds!



And now the biggest terror of them all: the Terrible Traveling Troubadours, beware their bewitching antics of talent...and horror!

Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!

*Please pause the Playlist of Horror to enjoy the show*

Yes, the House of Oddities is frightful and 100% pure cute, uh I mean evil! EVIL!

Please exit to your left and now that you have been properly horrified and delighted, head on over to A Fanciful Twist to experience even more Halloween celebrations!

Have a Boo-tiful day! Muwahahahahahaha!

Oooo what a fantastical terrible post! Suitably scared and horrified!

Princess lamb looks like she ate her subjects or something and is eyeing off her next target ... run for your lives.

Have to say it's very funny too .. banned from Home Depot for certain unpleasantness hmmmm.

The clip was fantastic, so funny,

My hubby's birthday is on Halloween but he won't be dressing up 1) because he is very boring and doesn't do dress up and 2) he's a taxi driver, it would scare the passengers away!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great Halloween.
