In the quiet forest, walks a gentle bear. Upon his sunny back a young girl sleeps.

GORGEOUS MONSTERS & THEIR PETS

Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

Meet Mr. Vishnyt, a Spikey Bobster & his (terrified) Speckled Ignatium, Krinkle

Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight

The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (1am Monday UTC) once again rises #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come join us as we watch a cheesy monster movie and toot about it!

This week we're watching VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972) a Hammer horror flick about circus vampires preying on children in 19th century Serbia! Given who made it, we can probably expect lots of arterial spray and maybe some bare boobs.

The flick's free over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100004533/vampire-circus

Or on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMbG7lnzccI

Or you can download in advance from archive.org: https://archive.org/details/vampire-circus-1972-1080p-blu-ray-yts.-mx

See you there!
