I think it is physically impossible to be in a bad mood while watching this (after it gets going a minute in…):
How full of smiles and laughter are you now?
Medical hiatus…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond at the moment.
If you like this blog, you will love this cartoon. Give it about 3 minutes…then ENJOY.
Tim Burton’s Original Poem:
I read and appreciate all comments. Apologies for not being able to respond at the moment.
Now this is a love song…
Get a little closer, let it fold
Cut open my sternum and pull
My little ribs around you
Through arms that may be under, under you
I started this post before falling increasingly ill. May still be gone for a bit…I had SO much to share this Halloween…but it’ll just have to wait for now. Here’s what I had so far…
Rockabilly Bride of Frankenstein. Awesome!
I want this shirt:
Sweet…
No one will suspect a thing.
Amazing roundup of Halloween creatures here.
Two great cakes from Cake Wrecks.
And…not so great…
You go, little fella!
Fellow 80’s kids…remember these?
And lastly, the always hilarious AXE COP (featuring Nick Offerman)!

To me, we are officially into “Halloween season” so I figured we’d get warmed up with a spooky little animated treat that would have been appropriate for Vintage Lab Week.
In 1933, Disney released this short animation: Mickey Mouse- The Mad Doctor
There are so many excellent still frames to grab. I have a feeling I’m going to go back and pause every few seconds for a screen capture.
This post comes after realizing there’s a bit of a spider problem in my home that must be dealt with.
Don’t be fooled by the fluffy Little Bo Peep outfit, Ann Miller and her crew are ready to shake a leg in this awesomely kitschy routine.
Spider inspired tap dance!
This video…as far as I can tell…is entirely sincere (despite its suggestions to dress up a dead body, Psycho-style, and keep it in the house). I think any further commentary would ruin it, so just sit back and enjoy. It’s definitely worth two minutes of your time.
Dergin Tokmak contracted Polio when he was only one year old, which resulted in partial paralysis from Poliomyelitis. He went on to become a Cirque du Soleil performer and breakdancer.
Check out this informal video from his youtube channel. Give it a minute to get going…and watch the incredibly fluid, gravity defying moves. Amazing.
“I want to pass on to the next generation … so people can see that no handicap is too big or too limiting to dance. My message as an artist is to show the world that there is a creative soul in everyone with or without a handicap.” –Dergin Tokmak
