Halloween Countdown
-Loathsome Laughs-
no.1: Betelgeuse - Beetlejuice

It's Betelgeuse. Of course it's Betelgeuse! The afterlife's leading Bio-Exorcist, 'The Ghost With The Most', a guy so nice you gotta name him thrice - While Little Shop of Horrors may have paved my way into horror, Betelgeuse is the Clown Prince of Horror Comedy. Nothing as grotesque and bizarre has ever reached such mainstream status quite like it, save for maybe Ghostbusters, but even they didn't land a kid's cartoon after honking their crotch and yelling "Nice fucking model!"

Now while I love Little Shop of Horrors' Audrey II, Betelgeuse is a character that's carried with me far more. His style and personality is one that far more infectious, so much so that I've cosplayed him several times and added him into my Halloween Countdowns before. Twice in fact, but I've always focused more on his cartoon iteration-(A remnant of my lingering in ability to draw people well)-but with the long awaited sequel finally coming out, I simply had to give the OG Ghost with the Most a shot and I can safely say I'm really happy with it! This would also mean I've had him feature in a Halloween Countdown exactly three times! The exact amount that he should exist in and better yet, it was fully unintentional!

A perfect way to cap off the Loathsome Laughs section of this countdown and his time within them as a whole. So don't expect to see him ever again... at least not in a Halloween Countdown. I swear after this I won't have anymore repeats. These were just monsters that I felt needed a return to, but going forward we'll have all new monsters to appreciate. What exactly IS a monster though? Well that's the entire point of our next sub-category, the Monster Mash where I put in my top five favorite things that I can't fully explain other than just being a 'monster'!
