Neat.

In my time zone, it's less than 30 minutes before October starts.

You know what that means. Bump! Let's get excited for spooky month!

Whoop whoop, spooky month!

The STG Halloween collab is back this year, but it's a bit different this year...

More info here:

I'm nearly 2 days deep into the spooky month. In about 20 minutes

Do any of you have any exciting plans for the spooky season? Any horror-themed tracks or illustrations you're working on?

Im doing another STG (Specter The Ghost ) collab this year, its where people submit a character related to the theme, then on halloween it will be posted as part of a bigger image. This is the result from last year

STG 2022 NG Halloween Collab by josh2002taylor on Newgrounds

if you would like to take part this year, the info is here...

I've got a thing I need to get ready for upload for here and my stores on Redbubble and Teespring.

Just have to man up and work with my slow computer, since the product creation screens don't do so hot on mobile.

Everyone is welcome to take part if they wish :)

yeah

Woah awesome. Are you planning to release it on Halloween?

sometime later this month thx for asking

What's everyone going as this year? Any favorite costumes from previous years?

I'm probably going to pull old reliable bloodstained labcoat out of my closet again, but I wanna be extra this year... I was talking to this guy in one of my classes that got really into puppetry (one of the least wild facts about his life, honestly), he sent a bunch of video tutorials, and now I'm thinking that making a fucked up lab experiment puppet to carry around would be fun as hell. Something in the vein of eraserhead and The Thing, but my sculpting skills are kind of shit so we'll see.

Another favorite turned out to be one of my laziest, last year I just bought an FX makeup patch from party city, it was a couple gashes you put on your face, fake blood, etc. Halloween weekend rolls around, I get "dressed up" and go to a punk show, and accidentally freak everyone out by making them think I got my face busted open in the pit and kept dancing anyways. Like every five seconds someone would pull me aside to check (but hey at least that means the fans are nice!) 10/10 would go again

I have finally collected all the pieces of a Beetlejuice costume! This is gonna be a fun year!

As for previous years, some of my favorites were Chell from Portal (and a bonus Wheatley pumpkin!) and later Anton Chigurh from No County for Old Men, which is probably the best costume I ever put together myself. It was also a good excuse to buy a denim jacket. It’s a really good denim jacket, I still wear it as a regular jacket.

Excited to see the progress! Feel free to post pics here as you work on it.

Oh that’s so fun lol.

I had a friend in high school who was super good at FX makeup and she’d come to school with a new gory fake injury every Halloween. It was fun.

Illustration wise I'm mainly trying to run with Inktober, but there's some room there for more horror themed pictures. Depends where the mood takes me on the prompt.

I may also try a pic for a Spooktacular entry, but don't have any idea's (yet).

I've made a horror, spooky, Halloween playlist of animations. Any suggestions on good Halloween or horror animations I can add? https://www.newgrounds.com/playlist/312797/horror-spooky

If you’re a fan of horror games and NG classics, deathink has an art contest where you depict a Newgrounds character in your favorite horror game. Your entries for it will be available for Spooktacular prizes, so it can count as that too!

We need more pumpkins... if you would like to take part in this year's STG Halloween collab, the info is right here...

Happy Friday the 13th of October 2023!

Oh shit, I missed it :(

Clearly nothing unlucky happened to you to remind you of what day it was!

You survived… for now…

the plane tickets were too expensive for jason xd. he's gonna try again next year

I was waiting all year to wear this hoodie!

Tho tbf I typically wear it on October anyway, it goes down well at Comic Con.

Woah haha that's awesome! It might have saved your life without you knowing xd

Hey, I just made a spooky thing.

I'm gonna be entering this into the spooktacular for this year. I went all in on the spookiness, haha. Feedback is highly appreciated :)

I liked it! Left some feedback tho I'm not much of a music buff.

Good luck!

Thank you :)

Hope everyone's had a good day!

For those that haven't seen yet, the result of the STG HALLOWEEN COLLAB 2023 can be seen here...

Oh hey sorry for the late reply. One of those situations where you look at something right before going to bed and then forget about it in the morning. Then randomly discover it 2 years later xd

So with my old pfp and banner, I had it with the same image, just different parts of it. I don't think I have the original image anymore, lost in the sands of time :/
