The Evil Returns

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.

WOW! So many fabulous entries for our October challenge, and absolutely no sickeningly sweet and cute ones - I'm so proud of you guys! Throughout the year, while we've been admiring all your lusciously macabre makes, we've also been keeping a tally of who got how many votes for how many projects. The dungeon walls have been dripping in blood as we've made notes, mentioned our favourites and drooled over the ones we most loved. After a lot of counting and discussion, and including the October entries, we are so very pleased to announce that our overall winner for the year is  Teresa! Your projects have constantly amazed us, and we're delighted to confer upon you the title of "Macabre Masterpiece Maker", along with your very own badge. You also get a bunch of goodies specially selected by our grubby Minion paws, and if you let us have your address, we'll send them all via flying monkey. Or, you know, a local postal service ;) As a special thank

Holy Hell, it's Halloween!

Yay, it's October, and for the Minions that means Halloween celebrations. Our theme for this month is simply (grotesque, macabre and creepy) Halloween, but remember that we don't do cute and cuddly here. We want only your freakiest, most macabre and gothic creations.  We do tend to get interlopers entering here with cute pumpkin cartoons because they see Halloween and assume we have the same rules as everywhere else. The Minions will mutter curses over any unsuitable entries, so beware! And now we have our inspiration pieces. Fangtasmagorical Fiona Menace of the Monstrous Mark Devilishly Deviant Donna Seriously Sick Susan I'm not sure what's happening with the linky this month - if it isn't here when you enter, just leave a comment with a link. ( OOps  it was a bit late ) There's no random number generator winners here anyway, the Minions look at every entry and vote on their favourites, so it doesn't matter where you leave you

We're so sorry this post is a day late - the Minions all get cranky in August - it's been so long since last year's Halloween that we get a bit crotchety and fractious, and deadlines fly out the window. This month, we'd like to see your take on our "Fur and Feathers, Tooth and Claw" challenge. As always, it's open to your own interpretation, just keep it dark and creepy.  This month, we've been joined by An English Lady , who created this wondrous piece.  Devilishly Deviant Donna Seriously Sick Susan Creepy Glowbugg We also rounded up the votes for last month's Rock and Roll winners. Thanks so much to everyone that entered the challenge, your pieces really made us happy. The Gruesome Twosome for the Rock and Roll challenge are  Gina and Teresa Take your badge and wear it with pride, and if you'd like to play along with us for the next challenge, please email Mo for details. She's away from the Dungeon
