We just got word about the ASPCM planning another protest against Fright Night this Sunday Sept 6th @ 2pm.

This press release was taken from their website.

A.S.P.C.M. Plan Another FRIGHT NIGHT Protest at the Warner Grand this Sunday Creeps and Imps Refuse to Give Up Fight for Their Rights LOS ANGELES, CA—Citing the producers’ disrespect and the audience’s cruel enjoyment of all their hard work and low pay, (dis)members of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (A.S.P.C.M.) will return to picket the Warner Grand Theater at 2 p.m. this Sunday, September 6, in a desperate bid to improve the working and unloving conditions for monsters employed by the slave drivers at FRIGHT NIGHT. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a scientist whose experiment has given you the head of a bloodsucking flea or if you’re a prehistoric fish-woman that lives on raw screaming flesh, the humans at Fright Night are going to work you to the bone,” said a Fright Night monster employee who preferred not to be named. “They charge low admissions because they pay us so little. Then they work us all night, when we should be out haunting and marauding.” Asked why he didn’t leave the detestable job, the monster simply said, “What? And give up show business?” Human audiences (known to our monster readers as “foolish mortals”) seem to love watching these exhausted, utterly broke monsters and creatures working away for their amusement. “They scream, laugh, and applaud,” said another monster, “but where are our pus breaks? When do we get to completely devour an audience member? Why can’t we bring our coffins lined with the soil of our homelands? It’s not much we ask, but they won’t give us anything.” One of the zombies that’s been on the Fright Night picket line the longest summed it all up with these poignant, heart(s)-rending words: “Hhhhhhhhuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhh mrrrrblllgggg… ccchhhhhaaaaasss…. Drblggb.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. The next protest of Fright Night will be at the historic Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro this Sunday, September 6, at 2 p.m. Which side will you be on? How will history record YOUR contribution to the rights of Monster-Americans? Don’t be one of the oppressors! An organization to protect monsters’ rights The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (A.S.P.C.M.) was founded in the 19th century as an offshoot of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (R.S.P.C.M.) and the Transylvanian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters (T.S.P.C.M.). The A.S.P.C.M. is dedicated to preventing the abuse of monsters of all kinds, from the smallest imp or goblin to the largest nuclear-powered mutant dinosaur or spacegoing nebula-amoeba.

The living dead protest FRIGHT NIGHT at the Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro! Show producers “Unfair to the Undead,” say ghosts, vampires, zombies and other fiends from beyond the grave — protest planned for Sunday, May 31st, 2009 from 1:30pm to 3pm.

LOS ANGELES, CA—“We already work hard enough,” said a “spooksperson” for the ASPCM — the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters. “Now FRIGHT NIGHT wants us to work even harder! We’ve got rights, too.” But the producers of Fright Night are adamant about keeping ghouls working round-the-clock for their new series of live shows that combine hilariously bad horror movies, great bands, sexy burlesque and big surprises.

“I’m really sorry,” said Fright Night founder Noah Korda, “but you just can’t get this kind of thrills, fun, and excitement without keeping monsters really busy. We’ve got an audience coming June 5 that we need to shock, scare, and horrify. It’s one great show for a low price, and we have to ask a lot from all the creeps we’re bringing in to scare people.”

Standing outside the beautiful art deco Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro in the foggy dead of night, the ghastly representative from ASPCM disagreed. The monsters have decided to show up outside the Warner Grand Theater on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 from 1:30pm until 3pm to make their feelings known.

“We wake up at the crack of night, have a fast cup of blood to get us moving, and before we can so much as terrorize a neighborhood, there’s these Fright Night guys putting us through our paces at the theater. We need breaks! We need better crypts! We need a retirement plan! I mean, I know we never retire, but still! You know what I’m sayin’!”

The creatures from beyond the grave did admit they received some perks from Fright Night. “Well, okay, we do like seeing all the great bands, like The Coffin Draggers, Frankenstein, Rosemary’s Billygoat, and the Mad Marionettes. Plus, the sexy red-hot burlesque from Miss Bonnie Delight gets us jumping out of our coffins. And the vendors are fun, too. But it’s the principle of the thing!”

Co-producer Richard Becker said, adding, “I don’t think the monsters are keeping our low ticket prices in mind. It’s $13 to get in, with discounts for groups and birthday parties. I just don’t think we can install a Jacuzzi in every mausoleum when we’re giving the public a deal like that.”
The ASPCM rep was adamant. “We’re going to march. It may be a few of us or it may be a lot, but our voices will be heard. Groaning, howling, growling. All that stuff.”

A historic site — the center of supernatural controversy?
The monster protest is planned to take place just outside one of L.A.’s great theatrical treasures, the Warner Grand Theater. The historic Warner Grand opened in 1931, billed as “The Castle of Your Dreams,” designed for film and vaudeville shows. Its beautiful art deco design is lovely from the outside and astounding on the inside. Built by the Pantages chain, the theater was in decline for some years until historians, preservationists and the city of Los Angeles worked together to preserve it. You can learn more about the Warner Grand at http://www.warnergrand.org/, and you can find out about helping keep the Warner Grand alive at http://www.grandvision.org/.

boju @ 8:45pm: Monster Mondays: Chupacabras

As part of the Dapper Cadaver Blog's Monster Mondays project today I bring you another cryptid on the brink of being real - The Chupacabra, or in Spanish, El Chupacabra.

The Chupcabra has only been with us a little over 10 years, being named in Puerto Rico in 1995. It was described as a reptilian or alien looking bipedal creature with huge eyes, a round head, and spikes down it's back. But the Puerto Rican Chupe bears little resemblance to the globe trotting hairless vampire dog thats been seen from Chile to Maine, and even Russia. Our Chupacabra haunts mostly Mexico and Texas, where its described as a hairless kangaroo-dog with spikes down it's back, or just an ugly wrinkled hairless dog, with a huge muzzle, and saber-like fangs. They can travel by running or hopping. I wonder if the hopping may be due to injury or disease? From the Russian Chupacabra of 2006 "“It’s definitely a chupacabra! It has small front and large hind paws. To begin with the animal was walking on four legs, stood on its hind legs at the water, lifting up its long tail, and then started jumping like a kangaroo,” he says. In May Dmitry is determined to seek out the Russian chupacabra along with colleagues from the Ural Ufology Monitoring Station."

In Texas multiple corpses have been recovered, centered around Cuero Texas, and most recently a video of a Chupe running down the street looking a lot like a mexican hairless. DNA evidence shows it to be closely related to, or a diseased, domestic dog or coyote.

If we drop the name Chupacabra from this tale, which is a completely different looking Puerto Rican monster that also sucks the blood of livestock, then the story gets older, and more interesting. The earliest "Chupacabra" attack I could find is in England nearly 200 years ago.

It goes something like this - "In the month of May, 1810, something appeared at Ennerdale, near the border of England and Scotland, and killed sheep, not devouring them, sometimes seven or eight of them in a night, but biting into the jugular vein and sucking the blood....Upon the 12th of September, someone saw a dog in a cornfield, and shot it. It is said that this dog was the marauder, and that with its death the killing of sheep stopped" -Charles Fort

Charles Fort then recounts of another Vampire Dog attack in Ireland in 1847, likening them to vampire bats, but finding it difficult to believe dogs can be vampires. As with the Chupacabra, the livestock was killed and drained of blood, but the body left in tact. When giant canine tracks were discovered near the kill sites, locals began shooting stray dogs on sight. During this wave of attacks several people were attacked an bitten by the vampire dogs, and suffered strange symptoms and madness.

For the next 200 years, vampire dog attacks have sporadically appeared. Like today's Chupacabra attacks, the vampire dog attacks come in waves. They're devastating at the time, often taking dozens of livestock and whipping people into a panic, but the soon halt. Whatever is going on, it's clear we're not dealing with a species that feeds on blood to survive generation after generation. Could we be dealing with a mutant? A disease? A madness? Malnutrition? The Supernatural? Could something be driving otherwise normal canines to become vampires?

Here's one of the Texas Chupe specimens. It's DNA showed it was most likely a coyote, but the muzzle is much thicker and the canine fangs are much longer. While mange may explain hair loss, something else would need to explain the changes to this "coyotes" teeth and snout.

boju @ 3:44pm: Montauk Monster

Special Weekend report from Dapper Cadaver's Monster Mondays

Early last week a hairless beast, roughly 3 feet long washed up on Montauk beach near Long Island. It was named the Montauk Monster. Multiple witnesses at various times during the day reported it, and several people photographed it. However, before the body could be analyzed, one of the locals scooped it up declaring they were going to mount it on their wall. This leaving no body, an unsolved mystery, and an internet sensation.

Here's what we know. The beast is about 3 feet long, nearly hairless, with what appears to be a beak lined with teeth in the lower jaw. It has a tail, no obvious injuries, and apparently finger like claws. Two photographs show the creature at different times of day, and in different positions. Locals reported the waves were rolling it. Here's the second photo, although they may be of different beasts.

If this is the same beast, it's important to note it has a nasal opening and ears, like a mammal. The change in color is baffling though.

Several theories have surfaced as to what the Montauk Monster is. I'll examine them from an anatomical perspective one by one.

1. It's a sea turtle that's lost it's shell

Evidence for: It's about the size of a sea turtle, it has a beak.

Evidence against: It has hair, ears, and teeth. It's elbows point back, while a reptiles elbows point up. Also, a turtles shell contains it's spine and ribs. It can't simply fall out, and if it was ripped out, its back would be a bloody shapeless mess.

My Opinion: It's definitely not a sea turtle

2. It's a raccoon

Evidence for: It's about the size of a raccoon. The beak is probably exposed skull (not unusual) The lower jaw dentation match the dentation of a raccoon. Both the monster and raccoons have fingers.

Evidence against: Raccoon paws are actually more like human or monkey hands, these hands appear straight , square, and thumbless, and if you look closely, he's flipping you off. Nearly all carnivores have similar lower jaws. No upper teeth. Most importantly his neck is thicker than his head, indicating he couldn't look all the way to the side (90'). Raccoons have slim, flexible necks. For comparison, here's a raccoon skull, and a raccoon taxidermy form showing what they look like beneath their fur.

My opinion: It's not a raccoon

3. It's a pit bull

Evidence for: size and shape, lower jaw. Thick neck.

Evidence against: No upper teeth, and most importantly, the hands of the Montauk Monster appear finger/claw-like, not paw/pad-like.

My opinion: It's not a pit bull.

4. It's a fake

Evidence for: cynicism, monsters are hot right now.

Evidence against: So many unconnected witnesses, it would have to be quite a conspiracy, with a great prop building budget, and for no obvious gain.

My opinon: It's not a fake.

My theory- it's a badger

Evidence for: Badgers have matching lower dentation, thick necks, and straight claw like fingers. They also do have tails, although they're hard to see when the badger has fur. Also, most mammals have skin pigmentation that in some way correlates with their fur cover. The white haunches and paws of this creature match the white underbelly of a badger.

Evidence against: Badgers aren't supposed to live in the North East.

Badger with fur, showing tail

Badger skull

Furless body form used for badger taxidermy, not the similarities to the monster

5. It's an unknown creature.

Evidence for: There is no perfect match between the Montauk Monster and any known North Eastern carnivores.

6. NEW THEORY - It's a nutria or other large water rodent.

Evidence for: it was found in the water. Similar paws.

Evidence against: Too large, wrong anatomy, completely mismatched skull

My Opinion: It's not a nutria.

boju @ 10:39am: Monster Monday - Dossenus

Happy Monster Monday everybody! It's been a couple weeks since our last post. I just moved into a beautiful new house in Echo Park and spent last week doing blood pools on the set of Dexter, so I haven't been at the desk for a spell.

This week the Dapper Cadaver blog brings you a creature from ancient Greece - Dossenus, the ever-chomping!

Dossenus is a monster who eats everything, like a Pac Man. He wears a theatrical Manducus mask, a classical greek drama mask which depicts a man chewing or grimacing. Or sometimes the Manducus is his sidekick and is a monster in it's own right.

Beneath his mask Dossenus was part man, part animal, part manimal, and all monster. He could devour anything and the greeks and romans both feared he would devour the "Cosmic Theater,"- the universe. Kind of like a locust from hell.

The Dossenus is also the name of an order of jumping spiders that like to vibrate and bang their butts to make music and attract a mate. They also want to eat the cosmic theater.

boju @ 6:30pm: Monster Mother's Day: Top 10 Monster Moms (and were they MILFs?)

As part of Dapper Cadaver's ongoing Monster Monday series, today I bring you a very special tribute to all the mother monsters out there. It is a testament to our love of mothers and our sympathy for them that in the mythological tradition of 6 billion people spanning 10 thousand years I could barely find 10 beings that could rightly be called monster mothers. Those that do fit the bill though are terrifying and powerful indeed, like a rampaging mother grizzly horribly mutated and kind of hot.

10. Mother-Of-Fishes - As her name states, a giant fish that protects all the fish and creatures of the sea and inland waterways. Said to be a trout so large her back is an island with trees growing on it. MILF factor - 0

  1. Gargamelle - Gargamelle is not just the evil alchemist who wants to eat smurfs or something in the smurfs, Gargamelle is also a giantess in French mythology and the mother of Gargantua. MILF factor not much judging from this picture

8. Mother Flog - Mother Flog is a stout little matron elf who hides in saucepans to catch greedy children in the act of ruining their appetites. She then flogs them mercilessly. MILF factor - despite a sexy name, Mother Flog just doesn't follow through.

7. Coinchenn - A dog headed woman and the fatal protector of her child, the beautiful Delbehaem. A prophet told Coinchenn she would die once her daughter was engaged, so Dog-Head took to decapitating every young man who came within 50 feet of her daughter. The heads were displayed on brass spikes in Coinchenn's garden. MILF factor - Delbehaem must have gotten her hot body from this half-milf, but Coinchenn was cursed with a head only a furry could love.

boju @ 5:45pm: Monster Mondays - The Butatsch Ah ILgs

As part of Dapper Cadaver's ongoing Monster Monday's project today I bring you the most horrible thing Switzerland has ever produced, the Butatsch Ah ILgs.

The Butatsch is a great and terrifying amorphous blob, like a swollen stomach, but covered with leering eyes that can shoot fire. The Butatsch lived at the bottoms of lakes, at the gateways between earth and hellish neitherworlds. The fire from its eyes was the very same as the hellfire of eternal damnation.

For I think obvious reasons, no fishermen would fish in the waters where the Butatsch was said to dwell, but the beast was so feared that no shepherd would allow there sheep to graze on any hillside facing his infernal lake.

Since no Butatsch has ever been photographed, the part of the Butatsch is being played by a Stichopus Sea Cucumber.

boju @ 6:35pm: Monster-a-Day: The Miqqiayuuq

The above image actually may be a concept art depiction of the Cloverfield Monster, but it reminds me of the Miqqiayuuq, so thats what I'm calling it. In fact, just like the Cloverfield Monster, there are no clear images or depictions of the dreaded Miqqiayuuq, so the similarity may be more than superficial.

The Miqqiayuuq is a giant, dark, hairy and most terrifying of all - faceless sea monster from the icy depths of Canada's Hudson Bay and surrounding iced over fresh water . Miqqi, as his friends call him, though he has no friends, lurks in the depths, usually only seen as a great heaving dark shape.

This demonous monster would slide beneath the ice whenever the local Inuit came to the waters edge to fish or collect water, and he would reach our with his arms like tree trunks and great clawed hands and flip over their buckets.

Thats it. That's all he's ever been recorded doing. More of a nuisance really, spilling fish and water. Or maybe just an excuse used by drunk ice fisherman as to why they returned empty handed. With all that size and sheer terror-ness it seams like kind of a waste. Maybe Cloverfield happened because Miqqi realized he could do so much more than be The Monster Who Flips Buckets.

New York isn't that far from the Hudson.

boju @ 4:50pm: Monster-a-day: Fearsome Critters

As part of the Dapper Cadaver Blog Monster a day project, today I bring you the Fearsome Critters

Fearsome Critters arouse as tall tales told by American Lumberjacks. Whether they were drunk, trying to amuse each other, playing pranks on rookies and city slickers, or trying to explain odd creatures or phenomenon is debatable. Probably all of the above.

boju @ 6:04pm: Monster-a-Day: Flaming Teeth

flaming teeth at burning man by tristan savatier

As part of the Dapper Cadaver Blog "Monster-a-Day" Project I bring you today's monster all the way from Fiji (home of my favorite mermaids by the way).

This giant's name is Flaming Teeth, and it is well known he would win in a face off with the Flaming Lips.

Flaming teeth was a giant who ate men on the Fijian archipelago. He was so large that his teeth were full sized wooden logs that always burned. He was the first person on Fiji to cook his food, which he did while chewing.

Flaming teeth would terrorize the Fijians everyday, not just eating them, which would have been bad enough, but reeking havoc on their villages as well. And when a giant is reeking anything it must be stopped. So a band of braves came together with a plan - they lured it under a cliff and smashed it's skull with boulders. The teeth were still burning, so the Fijians took the flaming teeth back to the village, and that is how they discovered fire.

The top image is from burningman.com and the photo is by Tristan Savatier. The image below is by Macula, who has many awesome illustrations of monsters at Macula.tv.

If you'd like to get some teeth and light them on fire, we do have teeth props at dapper cadaver

boju @ 4:17pm: Chupacabra's found in Texas and New Mexico!

The Chupacabra above is one I created in my shop based on an amalbamation of eye-witness reports. Except for the spikes on the back, it's pretty close to what people are finding in Texas and New Mexico.

Across the Southwest people have been reporting, photographing, and in some cases finding specimens of large, hideous, hairless canines some are calling chupacabras. Here are some of the reports
news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=chupacabra&am...

DNA from some of the specimens clearly identify them as coyotes - hideous and hairless because of the disease known as "mange"

One woman even reported seeing one of these hairless coyotes attack her caged chickens, pulling its head through the bars and biting it off, then drinking all the blood that spilled out.

Could these mange-coyotes account for the chupacabra? Is it only coincidental that they're similar in appearance and behavior to chupas? Are the real goat-suckers still at large? Or only legend?

Do you believe in chupacabras, or mange-coyotes?
