The Goblin Daddy

Oh she is. But also peak nightmare fuel 🖤

Day 8: "Nitro-Punch!" 🕷
.
The 1997 Dexter's Laboratory episode "Monstory" stuck with me since forever particularly because of how damn cursed that Dee Dee spider kaiju was...Anyway, 10/10, would recommend 🤷‍♂️

Day 7: "Kiss of death, baby!"
.
Had so many good choices to pick from Adventure Time...decided on Death himself because he's such a chill guy. Would totally hang out with him 💀

Day 6: You're a daddy, Mr. Grinch 👀
.
Yet another guy that doesn't need any introduction. The way 5 year old me was utterly obsessed with the 1966 short...Directed by Chuck Jones? The Grinch voiced by Boris Karloff?? The song by Thurl Ravenscroft?? Formative is an understatement 🎄

Day 5: "It's a shame we can't play with him anymore..."👽
.
The 1973 French movie "Fantastic Planet" is a really interesting watch, highly recommend checking it out if you haven't 🖤 Needless to say that the alien Draags fascinated me since forever. I mean...LOOK AT THEM!

Day 4: "Oh well, you'll join us someday..."🎃
.
While I technically didn't grow up with "Over the Garden Wall" and everyone and their mother already did a rendition of Enoch and the pumpkin people, I do love the show dearly and "Hard Times at the Huskin' Bee" has got to be my favorite episode so..

Day 3: The queer icon, the legend, camp on heels, His.Infernal.Majesty! 🔥
.
Nothing much to say about this one. Everyone knows him, everyone loves him. And "The Powerpuff Girls" rules 🤷‍♂️ I still get shivers when watching the "Speed Demon" episode.

Day 2: Camera! Lights! Zombies! ✨️
.
When talking about life-changing shows, Courage The Cowardly Dog is at the top of my (and a lot of people's) list. And the episode "Everyone Wants to Direct", featuring these two boogers, was one that did an absolute doozy on my 10 year old brain 💀

Wanted to get this merman dude out of my system even though I'm supposed to be on a two week break from painting. Ohwell. 🧜‍♂️
