The Spookville story so far…

From Chip

A year or two ago, my sister and I sat down at the piano and started writing a spooky song about two siblings who travel to a haunted underground town called Spookville — a place filled with scampering demons, one-eyed gremlins, and cackling ghosts.

We imagined Spookville’s architecture to be an eerie mash-up of creepy Victorian and New Orleans Neon. Misshapen old buildings squashed together and bathed in the glow of green, yellow, and purple lights. Spookville is a place where slimy Muck Yuck creatures sing and dance in the streets, creepy bike-riding clowns honk their noses like car horns, ghosts cackle and raise their glasses in a toast, tiny gremlins grab grub at shops like COFFINS AND COFFEE, ghouls grocery shop for worm-ridden flank steaks, and monstrous lovers snuggle on carnival rides like THE TUNNEL OF SLUDGE.

Recently, I decided to finish the story my sister and I started. So I wrote a screenplay and hired a few concept artists to help me start bringing the characters to life.

On this site, you’ll find various character designs we’ve developed so far. Feel free to leave a comment or get in touch with me on the contact page.

Cheers!

Jellybones Bob is a down-on-his-luck jazz singer at the local dive bar: the Lug Lug Lounge. His favorite drinks and snacks include: snail cocktails, pig snout stout, horsehair pie, and shots of lye. Jellybones’ skin is a gelatinous pale purple and when the spotlight hits him, you can see his inner-organs shifting around.

Character Design: Gremlins

The one-eyed cyclops gremlins are friendly, accident-prone resident of Spookville. You can usually find them looking through a dumpster for a scrap of meat, performing the flying trapeze at the Spookville Circus, or stabbing your foot with their tiny pitchforks to see if it’s edible.

Character Design: Zoot Suit Skeleton

What sort of haunted town would Spookville be without tons of creepy skeletons? The first skeleton Lila and Danny meet is a ferryman who helps them across a river red as blood to reach the gates of Spookville.

Character Design: Razz the Rat

Chiden2 — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:25:31 +0000

Razz the Rat is a slick, sly, street rat famous for his card tricks and love for gambling. Razz befriends Lila and Danny on their journey to overthrow the evil Big Daddy Brass.

Razz’s world changes forever when he crosses paths with Lila, a sharp-tongued rogue with a score to settle, and Danny, a soft-spoken tech prodigy who dreams of justice as making friends is always great and that’s why you can do it online at kiwi irc chat empanada. The trio is an unlikely band — but their mission is clear: bring down Big Daddy Brass, the tyrannical overlord who’s turned their city into a crooked empire of crime, surveillance, and fear.

While Lila handles the brawls and Danny hacks through firewalls, Razz plays his part with panache — conning guards, slipping past security, and manipulating odds in their favor with sleight of hand and supernatural flair. His gambling isn’t just for show; it’s strategy, survival, and rebellion. Every coin toss and card shuffle masks a deeper play in the fight against Brass’s regime.

But beneath Razz’s cocky charm is a complicated past — one tangled with debts, double-crosses, and a secret tie to Big Daddy Brass himself. As the stakes rise and betrayal looms, Razz must decide: will he risk it all for a better world, or will he fold when the pressure hits?

Character Design: Big Daddy Brass

Chiden2 — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:20:23 +0000

Big Daddy Brass is Spookville’s evil mayor. He is extremely rotund, wears a politician’s grin and looks a little like Teddy Roosevelt, except his skin is the color of a tuba. He wears a top hat, monocle, a short tie, and a suit that is bursting at the seams. Brute force, bribery, lying, and cheating are all his preferred methods of villainy.
