[link] - Please also leave comments here!Devices doing STUFF when they aren't plugged in or don't have any batteries is one of my favorite clichΓ©s of spooky stories.
Maybe this didn't even need the last panel.

When I look at this, I can't help but be reminded of "They're eating her...And they're gonna eat me! Oh my gooooooooood!"

Two eyes in one socket, I like that. I like that a lot.
I have a Tamagotchi that keeps coming back from the dead - like it would die, so I'd ignore it for a couple of days, but then it starts beeping and I look at it to find the screen covered in poop. That's all I got though.
Well done!

It's a joke on ghost stories.

Fantastic, and very very happy to get a reply from you. I am a very big fan of all your flash animations and amazed at your exstencive knowledge on varied and interesting animals and lifeforms. I have to ak, will there be another fearhole? I miss the antics of. How long has it taken you to come up with all those ideas for mortasheen.
Oh and favorite line...DONKEYS!!

I come up with new monsters almost every day without even trying, but I pick out certain ones for Mortasheen depending on how well they fit and how much I like them
I have DOZENS of ideas for Fear Hole episodes, some of them already written as scripts and recorded as voices. I originally wanted to be making several episodes a year, but I have the worst energy/motivation ever. I dread working in Flash and spend months just procrastinating
Hopefully I'll have finished most of my ideas before I'm 90.

I hope Mortasheen has been gathered into a multi volume bestiary by then. I need more macabre and curiosity on my shelves. something to return to when i seek inspiration and eye brow raising items of intrest. You wouldnt think it from my baron account but im quite the well of twisted and beautifully grotesque myself. Atleast you get yours out and down on paper, i lose heat as quickly as the freshly dead.(Please dont hold my last statement against me, i was imagining Vincent Price saying it and i had to type it. Also dont hold against me the fact it should be steam not heat.)

I live in a house in one of those "housing projects built over Indian burial grounds;" the entire town is named for the burial grounds, actually: "Flower Mound," in Texas. Things without batteries function at random all the time around here. It's very unsettling to hear my boyfriend's mom's refurbished toy kitchens/workshops call out in the middle of the night, or when we walk by (his mom resells toys like Little Tikes). ...Especially when what they say is relevant to whatever's going on at the moment.
I remember right after my boyfriend's dad died, we were talking about whether his spirit would linger at all because he passed in the back yard doing renovations... and a princess tea party kitchen said "I'm still here," which normally would be one of those "I'm about to shut off, so please keep playing with me" messages. ...*shudder*
That's only one of the many supernatural occurrences that take place around here. x___x;

It's a classic aspect of "hauntings" (both in the real world and in horror stories) for a machine to be doing something when it isn't plugged in.
For some reason, the entire ghost in this haunting was supposed to be plugged in, and that's what scares the guy instead of the ghost itself.
So it's ghost-story cliches mangled into absurdity.

I see now. However the only ghost story I can think of with that not-plugged-in element is a story-within-a-story from one of the Bunnicula books.

It happens in lots of movies, creepypastas, Urban legends and supposedly in real life. There's a Toys R' Us said to be one of the most haunted locations in America (why Toys R' Us?) where the employees say the toys talk all the time without being played with...and sometimes things they weren't programmed to say. OooOO!

That must make working there more interesting (I used to be employed by Toys 'R' Us).
I do not grok "creepypastas."

It's a nerdy reference. I was just asking you what that word meant.
