Halloween bullshit

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

One picture from yesterday afternoon, and a couple from this morning after we got 6-8".

Winter weather isn't helping it, but it isn't doing too much damage, either. 

Evil never dies... 

 

[Guest Lobo]

the last one looks like Admiral Akbar got date-raped by a Tauntaun.

Another 10" fell over the weekend - a metamorphosis could be underway.

I figured that the jaw-mung would generate enough heat to keep things clear. I have a sad.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

Posrep for "mung."

We don't know what's happening underneath the blanket of snow. For all we know, your theory could be correct in that it's functioning as a sort of power source to sustain hibernation, retard decay, and/or fuel the transformation into some new entity... 

[Shoxthemonkey 1976]

It's probably safer than Covid vaccine.

 

 

 

JK, I'm getting the shot this week. Maybe. I hope

[Guest Lobo]

The shot you’re set to receive this week is merely fluid extracted from the evil gourd’s fomenting pustules.  All you’re getting is an invitation to play host to the end times of mankind.  After you receive your vaccination shot and the pumpkin offspring tears itself out of your chest cavity to scamper across the patch at the next full moon...remember you were warned.   What do you think it’s doing under the snow right now, your taxes?
 

it’s plotting, growing stronger, marshaling resources.  While you’re dicking around at Walgreens

The month of hibernation under 3' of snow is coming to an end. 

 

[Guest Lobo]

I like that it doesn't worry you that the stalk grew a bit while it was under the snow.  That's totally normal, right?  You're delusional man.  Those phone calls you get about your student loans, car's extended warranty, etc.  Those calls are coming from inside the fence. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

Looks like it developed a nice patina while trapped under ice. 

Every subsequent update could be the last - Mrs. Doom has renewed her objection to the malevolent demonic occupation taking place in our backyard, and I worry that some fear-based and small-minded treachery may eventually occur. 

[Shoxthemonkey 1976]

Godspeed , you warty bastard.

Do you have a deep freezer out in the garage?  Because it looks just about right to freeze and bust out and Oct 27th this fall.  

[High Plains Drifter 11024]

 

seriously dude, its time for the cleansing fire.

I fully intend to display it this fall if 1) Mrs. Doom doesn't destroy it in the aforementioned cleansing fire, and 2) it hasn't turned into soup by then. 

[smuggs 9350]

Put him in resin. For future generations of Doom.

April progress report. 

[tfoolry 8201]

He’s graying but hanging in there. 

[Scheiss Meister 8407]

It looks like it's praying for the sweet release of death.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

The outermost layer is still surprisingly firm and solid - I won't be too surprised if I can get another Halloween (or ten!) out of it as long as Mrs. Doom doesn't go rogue.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

April was not very kind to our friend.

The warmer weather seems to have accelerated the dessication process such that it's now mostly just a very lightweight shell, though the outermost surface remains structurally inflexible. It has the same heft to it as something of equivalent size made out of papier-mâché.

When I went back to the corner of the yard to survey the situation, it was at a bit of a cockeyed angle - seems like the wind had most likely disturbed it. 

 

[Armybrat 40814]

Does it count as a Covid19 victim?

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

Only in Florida.

That is awesome. Pos rep.

[Guest Lobo]

And you will know us...by the trail of gourds.

[Scheiss Meister 8407]

You should keep it and enter it in a jack-o-lantern contest next Halloween.  There is no way anyone would have a creepier punkin.

Do we need a betting pool for if your demonic backyard overlord survives through May?

 

In a somewhat related question, have you been having strange dreams or very difficult to control urges? 
 

We may need a young priest and an old priest...

From its start terrifying children, through it's slow deterioration to it's now ghastly appearance characterized by a pallid skin tone with barely recognizable facial structures, I can't help but draw comparisons to Michael Jackson's career arc. I'd hide the benzos and sedatives if you want any chance of that thing making it to Oct '21.

June update. 

The foliage is now providing some much needed shade, but not before some additional discoloration/fading occurred. And there is now some degree of blistering and peeling skin on the cheek, forehead, and ear/temple areas. 

I still think it's more likely than not that our friend makes it to Halloween 2021, but odds are slowly diminishing and it's going to be close at the end.

You got a damn body farm in your backyard.  Very nice.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

[Ldogg53 514]

I approve of this thread and look forward to contributing for 2021. Been 3 years since I’ve had a house with a yard and 2020 was my first time back in the game. Damn it felt good.

[Laxtonto 12078]

So I guess I need to plan on this in the fall? We generally do 4...

I am going to laugh when we have like 6 differ decomposing pumpkins from all over in this thread next winter.

[Lidig8r 1870]

I am lurving Doom's Evil Punkin.

I went in an opposite direction, Christmasy-Angelic as it were.

Turned them into Christmas decorations out front. The paint preserved them nicely.

 

[Longhornstampede 3180]

Sooooo....this gives me the idea of carving pumpkins in July or August and letting sit in the back yard waiting for their Halloween terror instilling debut on my front porch, where nary a child approach for fear of contracting some hideous infection.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

This metal-as-fuck undead Northern Cardinal with no feathers on its head has shown up in our yard recently. 

That can't be a coincidence. 

 

[hookemATL 11700]

Dibs on Undead Cardinal Pumpkin as a band name. 

[Guest Lobo]

I drink to Cardinal Pumpkin for the third, and final time, tonight. 

Once a Cardinal, Always a Cardinal.

 

Another idea for Prepuce's pumpkin carcass.  Place it on a neighbor's front porch in the weeks leading up to Halloween with a half-smoked cigar dangling out of the "mouth."  And on the wrapper of the cigar, write so they can only read it after taking the cigar out..."How did you know I have dry leprosy?"

Like I don't have like 10 of those shiny, satin-ey fuckers already, except mine are store bought for god knows how much money.

What fun is that?! Fresh punkins every year. Shiny gold and silver spray paint. Glitter on top of that. The gayness comes out ... not that's there's anything wrong with that!

Seriously? You think my wife isn't buying real ones too? In addition to those giant carving fuckers and the wolf ones, she gets a bunch of those weird green ones and pink ones and fairy tale ones and stacks them up line a snowmen. 

[tfoolry 8201]

Line em up PA style.

That is just all sorts of greatness.

You need to write a book about your Missus. It would be epic.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

Received this for Father's Day, so Demon Gourd 2.0 this fall will likely have appendages.

I celebrate this idea, but where the hell do you get pumpkins in July or August?

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

July update. 

Advancing decrepitude, but still fighting the good fight. Seems to be benefitting from all the shade. 

Installed a protective barrier to guard against an errant basketball which would likely prove catastrophic if not fatal - at least to the extent that the undead can die.
