#5: Mr. Bumpy - Bump in the Nightwww.youtube.com/watch?v=bmq00R…
Yeah... wasn't very creative on the title this time. Sue me, I gotta come up with creative or sarcastic title for 31 pictures a year. They can't all be winners. Or much more fitting, they can all be losers, but I digress
I actually have a bit of a confession to make. I'm literally adding in this character to make amends for fucking up in a previous Halloween Countdown. Some of you may remember (for the select two people out there that follow me religiously) that back in 2014 the theme for that year's Halloween Countdown was good guys from dark material, or benevolent monsters... and despite adding in characters like Ickis, Krumm and Oblina I did NOT add in Mr. Bumpy! How-fucking-dare I! Especially given the fact that Bump in the Night was one of my favorite shows growing up and it was entirely based around benevolent monsters. I am a disgrace...
Well I got that out of the way! So yeah, Mr. Bumpy was a shoe-in for that theme and when I realized that I forgot all about him I slapped myself and quickly rectified it by adding him in asap. If you don't know who he is, I'm not surprised. Bump in the Night was an absurd, little known stop-motion series from the mid-90's and along with AAHHH!!! Real Monsters was easily what got me into making things like High School Death Party. It was weird, eccentric brand of cartoon that only the 90's could produce and I just loved it. It's sort of hard to even put into words, it's really just something you should look up for yourself, I'm not sure if it's really aged well or not but I sure was in love with this thing as a kid, but unlike most of this generation, I'm not obsessed and blinded with nostalgia so I didn't give him a stupidly high ranking. So he got in at no. 5... yup. Seeya tomorrow, creeps!

You have no idea how happy this made me this morning.
Also, the show has aged like fine wine. I've watched the DVDs with my kids multiple times and the fact that you didn't put Mr. Bumpy at #1 means you're a terrible person and the Closet Monster is going to eat you in your sleep.

I safely assumed it had, I remember the humor was pretty timeless and witty, but I've had little to no time to rewatch it even though I have the DVD myself so I hate to just speak from nostalgia alone. Bumpy definitely deserves a high spot, but with the things I have prepared for later on he had to take a backseat, plus I put him in as sort of an apology for not being in the previous Countdown as mentioned, so he's almost not even supposed to be here... as Mr. Bumpy should be XD

Just bumping his way into things and causing as much mischief as possible? Sounds about right.
