Daily Monsters – The Krampus

Posted on by

santa and krampus

Today I’m launching a new feature on the Dapper Cadaver Horror Blog – THE DAILY MONSTER

Everyday (give or take)I’ll be posting a new monster from around the world, and beyond. Every beast from the cthulhu-like Abao-Aqu of Malay to the great snake Zuzeca of the Lakota Suix.

Today I start with one of my all time favorites – The Krampus.

The Krampus hails from Austria and the nearby parts of Europe. On Dec 7th (my birthday, hint hint) Krampuses travel through villages seeking out naughty children, beating them with flails, clubs, and switches. If the child happens to have a hot mom or older sister, the Krampus will employ his ridiculously long tongue to make out with her. Especially bad children will be hauled off to hell in a basket.

In the picture above, the Krampus are the two guys on the right. To their left is St. Nick, and fortunately, Dec 7th is also St Nicolis day. But here’s the thing, Jolly Old St. Nick doesn’t drive the awfull Krampus away. No, they’re buddies. St Nick will just hand out gifts to the good kids and laugh joyfully while Krampus beats the snot out of the bad kids. As illustrated hear in this vintage postcard.

In fact, the two are so buddy buddy they even have been known to carpool together, in what would no doubt make the coolest clean cop/loose cannon TV detective team ever. As illustrated in the below Christmas card from all of us at Dapper Cadaver to all the good and bad children of the world.

Gruss Von Krampus! [greetings from krampus]

Daily Monsters – The Chupacabra

Posted on by

chupacabra 8

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?

Those boys from Creature Feature have hit the big time! They deserve their critical acclaim as the greatest and spookiest band ever to rise from the grave. If you’ve heard them already you know this, and would probably love to get your hands on a free pre-release album. If you haven’t heard them then now’s the perfect time to check them out and realize no Halloween party will ever be complete without their tunes again.

Check them out now at http://www.myspace.com/creaturefeaturemusic
Their album “The Greatest Show Unearthed” hit shelves on Oct 30 but I have a limited supply of advance copies.

If you want one, all you need to do is come into Dapper Cadaver (5519 Hollywood Blvd) between now and Halloween. Bring a copy of this post or any picture from our Creature Feature Gallery and the album is free with any purchase.

See you Underground

Keep an eagle eye out for all the Haunted house decor we supplied them – gibbets and gallows and bodies and skull chisels, blood and electric chairs and so much more good stuff.

Severed Head Found at Salton Sea

The new season of Law & Order is underway and already they’ve got me doing props for the flagship series and SVU. The guy above was originally created for Law & Order, he’s one of my favorite heads ever. The photo was taken by Brian Henderson in the Salton Sea as part of a crime scene photo series. The dog below is for an upcoming episode of Law & Order (the original) called “Submission”

Anybody who has screen caps from either the 3 year old episode with the mummy or the upcoming one with the dog, or any of my Law and Order props let me know or post them in the comments.
Other props I’ve done for L&O can be seen below in the following links

Dexter's Chop Shop

dismembered woman

We at Dapper Cadaver created six mutilated corpses for this season of Dexter. A lot of people have now come in and said they’ve seen the episode, but my problem is I don’t have showtime. Does anyone have a copy of the episode with the chopped up bodies or images from it? Above is one of the corpses on our shop floor.

Margaret Cho reviews my penis

Posted on by

Prosthetic Cho

My penis has really gotten around. Traci Lords, Kenneth Anger, and Margaret Cho have all had their hands on it. It was for Margaret that I originally created it, and here’s her review, from Alarm Press

“I went to a special effects specialist, who is a friend of my husband and made a very light yet very realistic flaccid latex penis. It was very hard to find a dildo that was like a flaccid penis!

I needed one that would fit into panties and still look like something when I stripped them off, so it had to be collapsible, and it is — fully collapsible and will stick onto my crotch with double stick tape!

The choreography is simple, just a classic fan dance really, but with a big surprise ending. The audience really doesn’t know what to do. At first I try to seduce them, being very feminine and coy with myself, a very shy, teasing kind of dance. But then at the end, when I reveal I have this very real looking and startlingly plain penis, people really freak out.

I almost cried the first few times that I performed it because the audience reacted so strongly — screaming! People were literally screaming. I love that. So that is my most exciting number right now.”

Screaming for my penis, that’s what I like to see in print.
When asked by Lawrence.com about size, Margaret had this to say
“Q: Why didn’t you borrow Mark Wahlberg’s from “Boogie Nights”?

A: That’s too big. Mine is big, but it’s not big like that.”

Thank you Margaret.
