So, it will probably come as no surprise that as a monster aficionado, I am quite the fan of Halloween, the well-known season of all sorts of spooks. Unfortunately, I started this site in November, which, as everybody knows, begins an entire year utterly devoid of monsters. Sure, Thanksgiving has colonialism and Christmas has a giant man who spies on children, but those aren’t fun monsters, those are just icky. So this December, we’re hijacking the season and injecting a little bit of Halloween, with a twist!
We’ll be drawing 31 Halloween monsters, both classic and recently coined, all with a winter/Christmas vibe! I will upload my own personal take on all of these and encourage everybody to draw their own! If you want to send me any, I’ll be accepting entries at wade@monstersrealandfantastic.com. They’ll certainly have more artistic merit, because while I love making my own monsters, I can’t draw them to save my life. To make up for that, I’ll include a little lore blurb, just for fun.
