Well well well, the time is nigh! I now present to you my very own entry in the very first Draw-Off Dreadfuls contest. After viewing Hobgoblins, the movie, for the first time last week with Strange Kid I was left speechless and...well...a little disappointed. I mean, sure, I didn't have high expectations but I could have sworn it would have been a little more over the top. You don't even really SEE the Hobgoblins a lot throughout the film and it seems as though it deals more with situational absurdity than anything else. There really wasn't much violence as well (unless you count an excessively long, tedious rake fighting scene brutally violent). With little to no blood, launching puppets that violently shake when they attack, and hilarious sound effects (i.e. the BOINK, BOINK, BOINK noises during the sex scene in the van) Hobgoblins is sure to entertain, but I'd rather watch paint dry or even Ghoulies I all day. Well, watching paint dry might be more exciting in the long run. Anyways, the movie allowed for Strange Kid and I to produce more art, which is what we were aiming to do. Hope you like it! I thought that I would include the spaceship in the illustration to tie in the film a little bit since my Hobgoblin looks completely different than those in the movie.

Draw-Off Dreadfuls Entry #1: Hobgoblins
