Halloween Goodies: Adam Ellis’ Ghost, Monster Therapy, and The IT Department

* Adam Ellis’ Ghost



Adam Ellis is an artist that has gained a lot of popularity online with his comics about relatable situations, cats, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and many other things. Now, hundreds of people are subscribed to his Twitter account to be notified whenever he posts about Dear David, the ghost of a dead child trying to kill him. At first, I was uninterested, but as he kept posting, it grew into an intense ghost story. It started as a creepy sleep paralysis episode and a few dreams. The story of Dear David was laid out in a dream and the stuff of urban legend like Bloody Mary. He slips up, asking the ghost 3 questions which dooms him to death. What ensues are a variety of Paranormal Activity-esque videos and pictures with shadowy figures resembling David, cats acting strange, and objects falling or moving on their own. I don’t think it’s real at all, but it’s a damn good ghost story that sends chills up my spine. Check it out on his Storify where he compiles all the Dear David posts.

* Monster Therapy



Monster Therapy has movie monsters going to couples or family therapy to get through their issues. My favorites are Jason Voorhees whose wife is tired of his ratty old hockey mask, Freddy Krueger whose wife is jealous that he terrorizes teenage girl's dreams, and Bella whose husband Edward is put off by her werewolf erotica collection. The issues are always solved in an unexpected way and the therapist takes their issues seriously, even in the most ridiculous of situations. I thought the Twilight episode would be terrible because of the source material, but it was one of the funniest episodes. Each episode is only 2 or 3 minutes long and hilarious. Check out the channel here.

* The IT Department



A guy asks for the IT department but It shows up instead, apparently a common problem. I don't usually like talk show skits, but this one is so funny. Scary Mary and the real IT guy pull the whole thing together.
