It was inevitable. Every year, as Christmas has spread its holly-branched tentacles further and further into Autumn, October and Halloween, we Pumpkinauts have grown increasingly irritated at the invasion. Now, we are preparing to launch a counterstrike – CREEPMAS! The Cult of the Great Pumpkin has signed on as a major participant in The 13 Days of Creepmas, a celebration of the Hallowdays set to happen December 1 – 13, 2011. RUN, don’t walk, to http://www.creepmas.com to find out how you, too, can HORRIFY THE HALLOWDAYS!

Sick and tired of seeing Christmas decorations replacing Halloween decorations in early October and being subjected to Christmas carols on November 1st, artist and Cult of the Great Pumpkin supporter Chad Savage recently tweeted: “The incursion of Christmas into Autumn has me seriously considering leaving my Halloween yard decor up until January. Christmas scarecrows!” Shortly thereafter, he tweeted again saying his awesome wife gave the thumbs up to keeping the scarecrows out.
And with one tweet, the revolution was started.
The following day, the AEIOU and Sometimes Why blog proposed CREEPMAS:
“Every year, Christmas makes its way into stores earlier and earlier and I say it’s time we have retribution! Creepmas should be an in-between celebration mixing (or mangling) elements of Christmas with Halloween and/or horror but not necessarily gory. Sort of like Nightmare Before Christmas.”
We at the Cult of the Great Pumpkin are totally behind this idea. Stay tuned for further developments. In the meantime, read more about CREEPMAS!
