That is not Chewbacca at left. That’s Jo-Jo, the Russian Poodle Man, and this is Barnum & Bailey’s Sideshow arriving in France. This original Strobridge design was translated and printed in Paris (a French tax stamp is at upper left), delivering une piquant je ne sais quoi to Little Peter the Great; John MacDonald, the Human Mastodon; Koguri, the Japanese Artist Without Arms; miniature Queen Mab; and some 30 other prodigies of nature. Magnifique!

On February 10, 1906, the great Lon Chaney Jr. was born! The son of the Phantom of the Opera, Chaney Jr. had ho-rror in his blood! Junior played Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Mummy, but he’s best-known for his timeless portrayal of that hirsute ho-wler, the Wolf Man! With a unique combination of amiability and brute physicality, Chaney Jr. set the standard for all future lycanthropes. Clap for the Wolf Man!
Savon: Good boy Mode Black light and regular versions!
Puppy!!!
This is Savon; I had a dream about him last night.
He’s a werewolf that’s perpetually stuck mid shift and because of this, he gets very grumpy and is generally not very nice to humans.
He’s friends with Taln; one of Taln’s only monster friends since he tends to befriend humans more easily than other monsters.
Savon is about 14 feet tall when he isn’t hunching over and has a hell of a time getting enough food to keep himself satisfied.
He’s missing his right arm from a werewolf hunter run in. One of those ‘you should see the other guy’ situations.
Rush piece for Whole_Fire over on Twitter! Thank you so much for the help!

Gunnar aesthetic!
A tribute to one of the most popular characters from the Princesses books!
I’m sorry it got delayed, I was somewhere without a good internet connection.
Wolf man deserves a tribute, he went on so many missions and has been trough so much shit, he’s 100% the most useful character!
@lanonima It’s Gunnar!! :D
This year Universal has put together a varied and entertaining set of mazes, and although it has more than ever before, the cracks are starting to show as the park attempts to pack more and more people into its biggest event. Here are all the mazes, ranked from worst to best.
Note: My friends and I purchased the front-of-the-line passes, and even though we went on a Sunday night, we still would not have been able to complete every maze without it. Expensive, but the only way to get the full experience.
Honorable Mention: All Hallow’s Evil
Not a maze, but rather an outdoor enclosed scare zone that is harvest and autumnal theme. Some great costumes and a cool premise.
Dishonorable Mention: Toxic Tunnel
In years past, a short tram ride took you to remote parts of the lower backlot. Now, you hoof it on foot for about a quarter mile, walking through a wide-open tunnel filled with strobe lights and rejects from the Toxic Avenger. It’s as annoying as it sounds.
On to the list!
#10 The Curse of Pandora’s Box
Easily the worst maze of the night, the designers attempted to create a sense of chaos by contrasting dark hallways with neon colors, but the costumes felt generic and the scares non-effective.
#9 The Walking Dead Attraction
Familiarity is the enemy of this maze, but if you’ve never done it before, it makes a good first impression. I just wish they would add something new, or at least increase the number of scare actors during HHN.
#8 Stranger Things 2 & 3
The surprise flop of the night, this maze at times had a queue that was 4 hours long. But once you finally get inside, you are treated to the same easily telegraphed jump scare about 8 times (not an exaggeration). There are some nice set pieces, but overall it lacked wows and scares.
#7 Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man
Nothing technically wrong with this one, but it failed to create many memorable moments. If you know the story of either character, you know exactly what to expect, and the maze delivers on that promise and little else. (Note: the finale in which the monsters literally jump off the screen was pretty damn clever).
#6 House of 1000 Corpses
This maze originally made its debut years ago, and while this year’s iteration delivered on tension and scares, it was missing several elements from its original incarnation. A thrill, but a slight step down from its former glory.
#5 Creepshow
This maze had an uphill battle, as the original film is slightly obscure and the new series hasn’t been released yet. Despite these limitations, it delivered several effective scares and featured a well-developed premise.
#4 Killer Klowns from Outer Space
This maze, perhaps better than any other, authentically recreates iconic moments from its titular film (even before you enter the maze proper). The scare actors also wore full-body costumes that were imposing due to size alone. One complaint though: enough with the squirt guns!
#3 GhostbustersAs a life-long fan, I thought this one would take the cake, and it was indeed quite good. However, some missed opportunities and an over-reliance on static figures kept it from soaring to the #1 spot. Spooky, not scary, but very very fun.
#2 Us
It starts with an impressive, full-size facade at the entrance, and from there the immersion goes even deeper. I wondered how Universal would convey the terror of a clone attack, and their delivery is truly one of their better tricks; instead of giving scare actors masks of Lupita Nyong’o, they hired a dozen or so women who look remarkably like her. The end result is the feeling that the scissor wielding psychopath really is everywhere. And their eyes will haunt you all the way home.
#1 Holidayz in Hell
The surprise hit of the night, this brand new original maze is a concept that I have seen attempted before: holidays run amok. However, what sets this maze apart is the amount of thought and creativity that went into it. From “champagne bubbles” that rained from the sky to the simulated fireworks, this maze kept surprising me. My favorite part, however, was the end. You think the maze is over, when all of a sudden you realize that the final part of the maze IS out in the open streets. And it’s a mad dash for safety through a gauntlet of killer Christmas gifts. Oh what fun.
Anyone made amy fancams of the wolf from “Bad guys” yet?
“The Giant’s Teeth ”
Art block breaking with trying out digital painting! I’ve been honestly wanting to push drawing more scenery for a while now, was a majorly needed break from commission crunch
