Hey monster kids!
It's been a while since I last posted anything. I've been a busy mad monster-maker developing my Monstroville cartoon series, plus Kup Kake and I are going to be having a baby ghoul in March.

Regardless, I've been driving around all week long in and around here in Van Nuys, and have been spotting many pumpkin patches, and Halloween shops. That being said, I'm all ready for Oct. to start, so to put you in the Halloween spirit here's one of my favorite little poem's.

"It's Just Halloween"

Weird-looking creatures,
Can always be seen.
Don't be afraid for
It's just Halloween.

Hundreds of specters,
With goblins between.
Don't be afraid for
It's just Halloween.

Crackling bonfires
Light up the weird scene.
Don't be afraid for
It's just Halloween.

Until next time...pleasent nightmare's fiends!

The Secret Saturdays, to be changed!!!

Hey monster kids! Just went on my pal Jay Stephen's Monsterama blog, and it looks like the powers that be at Cartoon Network are making him change the title of his upcoming animated series from 'The Secret Saturdays", a title that's original and so iconic to 'The Secret Adventures Of Zak Saturday", which does not represent the show at all.

I for one am very upset, and I've already sent CN a message telling them how I feel, and think their making a very big mistake. If you feel the same, and want to show Jay
your support go HERE right now!
