The reason i haven't been doing many photomanips recently is because currently my photoshop program is not working, but don't worry i have managed to find a few alternatives - mainly GIMP and this online photo-editing program called Picnik.
One of the cool things about Picnik is that you don't need to pay anything in order to register, you can also edit not only fix your photos but can also edit them in many different ways, i like trying out the different featured ones as well as the holiday. The halloween effects are simply fantastic, you can use the Zombified 2.0 tool to turn yourself or your favorite celeb into a zombie - and don't forget the bloodstains and ghoul-eyes, give yourself a wildman, werewolf look or Chuck Norris beard with the fake beard brush, turn yourself into a pale blood-sucking creature of the night with the Draculan dermis brush - don't forget the vampire eyes, fangs and the bloodstains.
If you want to try the program out for yourself here is the link, registering is easy and it doesn't cost anything:

Closet monsters
Now you may not know this but there is a gang of monsters in my closet, they are the closet monster gang and i'd like to take the time to introduce them to you.
Presto
Presto is a dark blue skinned phasm with brown hair and a goatee, he has magical powers and is the one in charge of the closet monster gang.
Ted
Ted is a Freddy Krueger-like character who likes to scare his victims in their dreams. He often wears a fedora hat, a striped sweater, and a clawed glove. He has a twisted sense of humour. He and Jasey often act like rivals but in actuality are best friends.
Grincherella
A female grinch with the ability to switch between her human and grinch forms at will. She is a lot like Demona from Gargoyles in terms of personality. In human form she resembles Carmen Electra, and in grinch form she kind of looks like that too except for the green fur, glowing yellow eyes, small fangs, sharp black claws and wild black hair. Her eyes often glow an eerie yellowish colour when she's mad. She's also able to turn humans into grinch-like creatures by scratching them with her claws.
Scare Bear
A possessed teddy bear. He may seem cute on the ouside but on the inside he's a cold blooded killer. He often carries around a butcher knife. He is yellow and brown, wears a blue t shirt and shorts, and a cap. He has sharp claws and fangs and tries to kill/maim anything that gets in his way. He is a homage to Chucky from Child's Play.
Zombo
A wise cracking zombie who is always falling apart and resembles Griffin Dune in American Werewolf In London. He first met his future girlfriend Sarah at a screening of Dawn Of The Dead at the local graveyard drive-in.
Bunyip
A big blue super strong koala who is rather intelligent and has a faux British accent. He is very intelligent and likes drinking tea, playing chess, he is also a fan of Blackadder, Monty Python, and especially Whose Line Is It Anyway. He is also a fan of comedian Eddie Izzard.
Mitchell
A fellow spellcaster , he is a lot like Michael Jackson as the Maestro in Ghosts even resembles him, he has a number of supernatural powers including the ability to possess people by flying into them, he is often seen with an army of ghosts from the past. He can also turn into the Superghoul from the video - he can also possess people and turn them into a creature like that one as well.
Jasey
Jasey is a Jason voorhees-like character who wears a hockey mask. His favourite place to scare people is at a campsite. He doesn't talk much, and sometimes fights with Ted. In actuality he and Ted are best friends.
Jeff
Named after actor Jeff Goldblum, Jeff is a human/fly hybrid much like Brundlefly except he's much better looking and he has wings. He is kind of shy but loves comics especially Spiderman. He is a good friend of Sam Raimi and Stan Lee, despite his size he is actually super strong.
Edgar
Edgar was born in Halloweentown. He is a tim burtonesque creature, but in human form he kind of resembles Johnny Depp. He is quite mysterious and shy. Often plays poker with Beetlejuice and Jack Skellington. He is often seen playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with Edward Scissorhands but sometimes loses. His tim burtonesque creature form is rarely seen but it is said to be quite menaci
Jack
Named after Jack Nicholson, Jack is a werewolf just like Wolfie except he's more than a little insane. His mannerisms are also partially based on Jack Nicholson's including his accent and smile. His human form resembles Jack Torrance from The Shining and he has two different werewolf forms, one is an American Werewolf style werewolf and the other is similar to Jack Nicholson in the movie Wolf.
Bruce
The only member of the group who isn't a monster, he is second in command. He resembles the character Ash from the Evil Dead films and has his mannerisms too. Bruce has a chainsaw where his left arm should be although sometimes he has a mechanical hand and his trademark weapon is a 12 gauge remmington shotgun which he refers to as his "boomstick". He has god-like powers and is a demigod.

Werecat mj
We hope that you will enjoy this Michael Jackson tribute poem, it pays homage to Thriller.
When the full moon is up in the sky.
That's where Michael can be found.
He is a werecat, always on the prowl.
But don't be frightened, he just wants to play.
With his yellow cat eyes, whiskers, claws and fur.
He is ever so playful and nice.
He wouldn't hurt a fly.
A most lovable werecat indeed.
When the full moon arrises..
MJ transforms into a slinky feline.
Just like the hero from that show Manimal.
Because he's a werecat.
He loves to explore, he loves to play.
Such a playful werecat.
Likes to play around.
He brings joy wherever he goes.
He's ever so merry and cuddly.
Wouldn't hurt a fly.
Michael the werecat is oh so cute.
Prowling around all night long.
Michael the werecat is ever so friendly.
Wouldn't hurt a fly.
Wild, but can easily be tamed.
Yowling, hissing and purring.
His cat eyes darting back and fourth.
His fur shimmering so brightly in the moonlight.
He's prowling around looking for some fun.
But he's not scary, he's rather cute.
Michael the werecat loves to play.
Such a jokester, but oh so sweet.
He may look like a monstrous beast.
But don't be frightened, he just wants to play.

Monster Maker
Growing up my brother's friend Dan loved watching horror movies. Much like Rick Baker, he is a makeup effects expert and he loves his job. He's done the makeup for our various tv shows and movies. He did the makeup for Leno. Which I thought was brilliant. I looked very convincing in the Jay Leno makeup, everyone mistook me for the real Jay. Stan Winston specialised in robots/aliens type makeup, Tom Savini specialises in all the gory type of makeup and Rick Baker specialises in creature/monster makeup (as well as the ocassion age makeup)- our friend Dan specialises in all 3 of those. We love the makeup effects Rick Baker did for American Werewolf In London, that werewolf transformation scene was pure gold and one that will never be surpassed, also the makeup used for the "not-quite-dead" zombified victims of the main character's "carnivorus nocturnal activities" looked pretty cool as well. My older brother got made up as the not-quite-dead but still deteorating zombified Jack (Griffin Dune's character) once. He really loved it. We also loved the makeup Rick Baker did for the Nutty Professor. Eddie Murphy must have had a LOT of fun playing all those different characters. the Tim Burton version of Planet Of The Apes was also awesome. The makeup effects he did for that film were wonderful. I did a couple of photomanips of ourselves as POTA style apes, I even did one of Andria. The makeup for Thriller was really good especially the zombies and werecat Michael. Also the alien makeup effects for Men In Black/Men In Black 2 were very good, I like the "Cornflake Head" alien from that movie, the makeup was very good- and also the "Three Eye Guy" alien was pretty cool too- but the "Bird people" makeup was excellent. Jack Nicholson looked pretty cool as a werewolf in Wolf. I've seen what Rick's makeup designs for the upcoming remake of The Wolfman look like, and I think they look amazing.We love the Grinch the most, because the makeup was incredible in that film- nearly everyone in the cast was made up as a citizen of Whoville and Jim Carrey's grinch makeup was stunning. Jim looked really convincing as the grinch. You couldn't tell it was him underneath all that fake latex skin, prosphetics and green dyed yak hair. You know since I first saw that film in theatres I had ALWAYS wanted to be a grinch like the one in the film. I sometimes make my character in some of our fanfiction and animation half grinch. I always model my anthrogrinch characters in Robin Grinch and the Mangrinch comic series (which is also a tv show, cartoon, and movie series) on the Jim Carrey version of the grinch. I myself am a weregrinch now and my grinch form looks a lot like the grinch from the film except for the teeth which have cute fangs instead of being termite infested, I have Jim Carrey's regular voice instead of the Sean Connery accent, and I don't develop a taste for garbage or glass bottles- I still eat human food when i'm in grinch form.

Photomanips
Here's a few photomanips I did.
This one is of me as a ghoul like Michael Jackson in Ghosts.
This one is one I did of Jim Carrey turning back INTO the grinch. If it looks like he's roaring or howling that's because he kind of is.
This is Jim beginning his metamorphosis into a weregrinch. The scary eyes and fangs paY homage to Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. "GET AWAY!!!!!!"
.bmp)
Here's Jim in mid transformation into a weregrinch. Note the look of horror on his face.
And finally this is Jim as the fully transformed weregrinch. Rawr! You know that's what I look like in my weregrinch form.

Sick of intruders trying to steal items from your own home? Then purchase our Electronic Scarers. The scarers are basically cute, electronic versions of famous horror icons that are tailor made for scaring away intruders.
They are:
They are:

- Ben Willis (appears in front of the intruder, then stabs them in the hand with his hookhand)
- Norman Bates (scares them in the bathroom, then hacks them to death with a kitchen knife)
- Chucky and Tiffany (pretend to be innocent dolls, then kill the intruder in a very merciless fashion)
- Hans (stares at them with his creepy eyes)
- Chestbuster alien (causes extreme body horror to the intruder)
- American Werewolf wolf (growls, then mauls the intruder)
- Seth Brundle/BrundleFly (does the "vomit drop" on the intruder)

- Jerry Dandridge (turns into his crazy cartoonish vampiric form and hissess at the intruder)
- Penny Wise (takes on the shape of the intruder's worst fear)
- Jack Torrance (goes ax crazy on the intruder)
Greatest Werewolf film ever
There have been many great werewolf films. But the best one has to be American Werewolf In London. There are many things we love about this great werewolf flick from the 80's such as the man memorable lines ("Have you tried talking to a corpse? It's boring!", "I can assure you that this is not the least bit amusing.") the lovely London scenary, the perfect blend of horror and comedy, and the great makeup effects of mr Rick Baker. The things we love the most about it are the famous transformation scene and the makeup effects. We love the scene where Griffin Dune's character (who was killed) comes back from the dead to warn his friend (David Naughton) of the horrible things that are going to happen- we especially love how he gets more and more dead-like throughout the movie- although they replaced him with a skeletal puppet for the porno theatre scene.
Our favourite "Not-Quite-Dead" look of Griffin Dune's character is this one here: Now a lot of people tend to focus the red, dangly bit of flesh hanging from his neck rather than his performance- but me and my brother are an exception. We focused on his performance and what was going on rather then the red piece of flesh hanging from his neck.
American Werewolf In London is famous for it's transformation scene- which was done by the brilliant makeup artist Rick Baker (he's one of our heroes) who is one of the greatest makeup artists ever. American Werewolf In London's transformation scene was like no other, it was an excruciatingly painful process. AmericanWerewolf In London is one of our favourite horror films, our other favourite werewolf horror movies are the Howling series, we also like Teen Wolf.
My brother has this friend who works in the makeup buisness- he knows all about how makeup and other effects for some movies were done- he has plenty of makeup secrets to share too. He once told us the secret of how they did the Chestbuster scene from Alien. John Landis directed American Werewolf In London- but before that he directed Blues Brothers and Animal House. We've done quite a few homages to American Werewolf In London in our many tv shows, movies and animated series. For example- the story of how my character in Animal House Chronicles first became a werebelushi is exactly like what happened in the movie and his first transformation into one is a direct satire of the famous wolf transformation scene from that film. We also have a zombie student in our Animal House thing who is a lot similar to Griffin Dune's character from the film. Our horror comedy National Lampoon's Curse Of The Werebelushi pays homage to this film and Animal House at the same time. We'll be paying another homage to American Werewolf In London in one of our latest works, one titled An American Gastonian in Florida. In it my character is a Gaston fan who gets chosen to play the part of Gaston in a stage version of Beauty And The Beast, unfortunately he gets a little too into the part and ends up slowly turning into the character in a homage to the famous transformation scene from American Werewolf In London. It's one of the first movies we've done that features me turning into a cartoon character. The transformation scene is going to be a direct satire of David Naughton's werewolf transformation from the movie.
American Werewolf In London is and always will be the greatest werewolf film ever made in our eyes. It's one of our all time favourite movies with transformation scenes in them, we also love the work of Canadian director David Cronenberg (especially The Fly, Scanners, Videodrome, The Brood, Crash, Dead Zone and ExistenZ).
