AHHHHHHHHH!!!! AHHHH AHHH !!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oh i didn’t see you there. i was just preoccupied by being frightened. you see, its month october now and in this month… things get a little “unusual”…

last night i heard the floor board creak while I was fast asleep. something was out there. aaahhh i peeped out from my bed sheets only to see a glimmer of a Big Fucker and then he disappears ? machiavellian fucker. kafka-esque.

when i fell back asleep i dreamed of Nessie and Chupacabra. the Fresno nightcrawler and Mongolian Death Worm. the Snarly Yow and the Dover Demon were also there. all sorts of monsters i could fuck doing their damn thing under one roof. yes, yes… the old abandoned Jackhammer place….

it could mean only one thing: party name of MONSTERFCKR is back this month
