Creepsmas Recap and Mailing List

Thank you, everyone, for making yet another Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS event a great success! We had a lot of competition out there, everything from the Grit City Comic Show to the Camano Island Miniature Wargame Show, but the crowds came! Not as many as in previous years, which was to be expected – rainy weekend, other big events going on, and everyone’s favorite catch-all excuse THE ECONOMY! Our sophisticated crowd-tabulating algorithm shows that we had an estimated crown of nearly 4,000 people through the doors over the course of the weekend – a few more than we had at “Sprung 2” last May, but not as many as our past two “Creepsmas” shows. We have now leveled-off to Pre-Pandemic Attendance Levels, sooooo… yay?

We had 60 entries for our first ever “Your Cool Halloween Costume Totally Should Have Won A Prize” After-Halloween Costume Contest, and we look forward to making it a Creepsmas tradition! It was so much fun to see Murder Clowns frolicking with Super Heroes!

So anyways, the thing that MOST PEOPLE wanted to know about was “How Do We Sign Up For _______?” (The Next Oddmall, Notifications, A Newsletter, Involuntary Organ Harvesting, etc) – well NOW YOU CAN! Just go to our brand-spanking-new EMAIL LIST and you can get it all!!! https://forms.gle/65aeFHuiUsznf6GZ9

And that’s about it! Next Oddmall is the weekend of 4/20 – THE ONLY 4/20 show that isn’t a, y’know, “420 Show” wink wink. See you then!

CREEPSMAS THIS WEEKEND!!!

So what are YOU doing this weekend? As for me and mine, we all’s gonna be at the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 3 “Between-The-Holidays” Art, Craft & Gift Show November 11-12 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA!

It’s supposed to be “Drizzly” all weekend long, which makes this lovely INDOOR EVENT the perfect alternative to whatever else you were going to do this weekend that got cancelled because of the Drizzle! FREE ADMISSION! FREE PARKING! A costume contest with a giant bag of cash as the grand prize! Juggling! Food trucks! KRAMPUS! And of course the STAR of our show, 170 OF THE WEIRDEST ARTIST-TYPE FOLKS YOU’LL EVER SEE! Seriously! It’s like a Muppet Show made out of Gonzos! You’re gonna LOVE IT!

…And as if that weren’t enough, there’s also the SnoCo Toy & Collectibles Show right next door! THIS IS THE WEEKEND YOU GET ALL YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING DONE IN ONE PLACE!!!

YOU DESERVE A PRIZE FOR THAT COSTUME!!!

The hardest part of Halloween, to me, is spending so much time and effort on a cool costume only to have people not “Get It”. I get the case from an old CRT computer monitor, carve a hole for my head in it, glue on some bulls horns, put on a Gladiator skirt, go shirtless and wear fuzzy pants that look like I have hooves at the end, and NOBODY gets that I am the mythical MONITAUR. The prize ends up going to somebody dressed up as Barbie or Ken or Insert Topical Costume Idea Here.

(Artists Rendition; I’d probably look WAY more buff than this)

ONE GRAND PRIZE WINNER will win a gallon-size Ziploc baggie full of money! Three Runners-Up will win Limited Edition Oddmall Creepsmas 3 T-Shirts! And EVERYONE who enters will win a Oddmall Creepsmas 3 Limited Edition Poster! AND ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SHOW UP IN A COSTUME YOU’VE ALREADY GOT!!!

Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 3 “Between-The-Holidays” Art, Craft & Gift Show November 11-12 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA – Over 170 weird-o artists and vendors, free admission, free parking, jugglers, side quests, pictures with Krampus, costume contest, food trucks, over 100 Door Prizes via our Prize Wheel of Destiny, and the SnoCo Toy & Collectibles Show right next door! Make a weekend of it! It’s gonna be AWESOME!!!
