May Monster Madness was the brainchild of Annie Walls, author of The Famished Trilogy, as an event to satisfy some of those cravings for spooky goodness that may be surfacing at this mid point between Halloween festivities. Of course, every evil genius must have her wicked minions, so Annie enlisted the help of Ked (Something wicKED This Way Comes) and I to assist her in bringing May Monster Madness to life.
In previous years, May Monster Madness was a 7 day event, but as everyone is busy, and it's hard to commit to 7 days of posting, we've decided to make it just one huge day this year on Friday, May 30. This also gives everyone time over the weekend to get around to the blogs of other participants.
The monster theme is very broad. You can post about any kind of monster you fancy from classic monsters like vampires, werewolves, mummies and zombies, to urban legends, to monsters of the human variety like serial killers and mass murderers. Your monsters can be frightening, misunderstood or just plain cute.
The sky is the limit with the type of post too. Express yourself in any way you wish.
For example:
* Fiction
* Poetry
* Article
* Book, movie or TV review
* Recipe
* Photography
* Video
* Art
* Craft
* Fashion
* Gardening
* Music
* Tutorial
* Giveaway
So if you'd like to join the MADNESS, head over to the Annie Walls blog and sign up. When you're there, just click on the blue frog to add your details to the linky.
Remember to grab the May Monster Madness artwork (created by Annie) to add to your sidebar too.
Woo! MMM is back! I plan on reviewing a bunch of public domain horror flicks that start with M. I'm finally going to find out just what in the blue hell a Manster is...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it seems like there's some weird glitch or something with last years links to all the participants-the link to my blog's absent on a bunch of those blog pages, like here at LGH. I've no idea if it's just my computer, or something else.
I'm imagining some kind of man and hamster combo? Which is wrong in sooooooooooooo many ways!! Haha.
DeleteI'm confused about the linky issue so I'll email you. :)
What a fabulous idea, count me in! Looking forward to it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so happy you're signing up, Bec! Gothic Flamingo's first blog fest!! Yay!!
DeleteWAHOO!!!! I look forward to this every year! I'll be traveling on the 30th, but will have a post scheduled. Let the spooky merriment begin!
ReplyDeleteWAHOO indeed!!! I'm so glad you'll be joining the mayhem again this year, Professor!!
DeleteOh, this is awesome, count me in too, I hope I can contribute with something fun! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I know you will contribute something fabulous, Lynoire!!
DeleteWow! That time already? It seem we just flaunted our spookiness a few days ago. I'm all in. And I suspect my story is going to be about a Cute and Creepy Gothic Girl and her dolly!
ReplyDelete*Happy Dancing* I'm so looking forward to hearing Gothic Girl's story!!
DeleteI won't be joining this year but I look forward to seeing what you'll do (and the other participants)!

ReplyDeleteI hope you will join, Magic Love Crow! I'd love to see a May Monster Madness interpretation of your crows! :)
DeleteI'll be participating. Cool.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Vanessa! :)
DeleteBlog fest? I'd love to take part, I need to think if my creativity is there first, but I'll certainly be following other participating bloggers!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun, so I hope you'll join up, Persephone! :D
DeleteNo way can I say 'may'be, sounds too awesome, have to say yes :) thanks for the heads up... Mmm I do have some fav monsters... Some even a little mad ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Mad monsters sound wonderful, Shelle! I seriously cannot wait to see what you come up with for MMM!
DeleteI've never heard of this before and I'm just in the mood for something spooky.
ReplyDeleteAli
Yes, I think those of us with a penchant for the spooky start to get a little twitchy at this halfway point between Halloweens. May Monster Madness is the perfect antidote, Ali! :D
DeleteI've revived my seasonal blog, Autumn Moon, and can't wait to get started!
DeleteThank you for letting us know about this! Yes, I'm very keen! Vampires are monsters, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you for hopping over to my blog and making such a sweet comment.
My pleasure, Rhissanna! Yes, vampires are most definitely monsters. My personal favourite monsters, in fact! ;)
DeleteSounds like an amazing thing to be part of. I cannot wait to see what types of work will come out of this.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best parts of these blog fests is all the variety in the way participants interpret the theme, Lady Lilith! There's so much talent and creativity in Blogland! :)
DeleteAwesome! I loved the hop last year. Thanks so much for the heads up - I'm heading right over to sign up! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're signing up again this year, Lexa!!

DeleteHi Emma! Trying to follow Annie's blog but can't figure out how! Any ideas...I'm still a bit new to all of this! I may just want to sign up for the Monster Madness on the 30th!
ReplyDeleteI've sent you an email, The Truth Fairy! :) We'd love to have you onboard for MMM.
DeleteI loved the hop last year (and was lucky enough to meet you and Yvonne), and I'm excited for it this year. I have no idea what I'm gonna post. I'll have to think up something entertaining. :)
ReplyDeleteI've met some of the best blog buddies during blog hops! I'm so glad I got to know you and Yvonne! I'm sure I met Magaly for the first time during last year's MMM too! :)
