A bit obvious, but Sea Serpent of Blood (obviously there could be a long spammy list of 'Sea' stuff, but this keeps the second 's' sound)

The countdown to Christmas has begun. With the possible book-title parodies dwindling, how about a cautionary festive carol about how alarming it might be to have one of the gods of Titan fall in love with you? (Spoiler tags to prevent long-post thread distortion - and here's the original if you need reminding.) On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 6 Gruesome Lich Lords 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 7 Swamp Orcs Swimming 6 Gruesome Lich Lords 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Cawlis Bods 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 8 Maidens Spiking 7 Swamp Orcs Swimming 6 Greedy Lizards 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 9 Ladies Lancing 8 Maidens Spiking 7 Swamp Orcs Swimming 6 Gruesome Lich Lords 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 10 Boots of Leaping 9 Ladies Lancing 8 Maidens Spiking 7 Swamp Orcs Swimming 6 Gruesome Lich Lords 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 11 Pipeweed Peddlers 10 Boots of Leaping 9 Ladies Lancing 8 Masks of Mayhem 7 Swamp Orcs Swimming 6 Gruesome Lich Lords 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 12 Drumers Dru’ming 11 Pipeweed Peddlers 10 Boots of Leaping 9 Ladies Lancing 8 Maidens Spiking 7 Swamp Orcs Swimming 6 Gruesome Lich Lords 5 Golden-Eye Rings 4 Crawling Beasts 3 Henchmen A two-headed dog and Parcleasus in a Poison Pear Tree
I varied a couple of the lines - and no I don't know what he'd be doing there either. Anyone else feel like ruining improving a carol?

That's the guy. And yes, that's probably true . But this way people will have a full set of lyrics to sing from on Christmas day. That will happen, right?

We should do this for Christmas, it's great fun! Yes indeed - though it seems there are fewer festive words than gory-spooky-death words which makes it harder. What are your ideas for the series created by Steve Jackfrost and Ian Livingsnow?

Ah, I thought you might have been going for something like Andrew Chapped-hands. I like Mark Gift. (He mostly did FF with Jamie Tinsel, I think.) lol and surely ROBIN Waterfield is already a parody Yes, I was thinking of something like ‘Robin, Snowfield’ for all those Christmas cards you can’t get away from. Anyway… Keith Merry-thing Paul Xmason Christmas Eve Jackson (USA) (Sorry these are even worse than usual )

I quite like 'Countdown of Kings' It's a bit late now for Auld Lang Syne of the Undeadbut there's still time for the potential exhausting Twelfth Night of the Necromancer.

(Very silly - apologies)
Your village was peaceful until one day, without warning, your father was crushed by a grotesque, brightly-coloured, leaping monster. You must travel far to receive instruction from Flying Turtle, Sauntering Salamander and Nimble Newt before confronting the cold-blooded creature that holds the ear of the king - but perhaps it’s your own frogicity you should be worrying about?

A Princess has been kidnapped, and the only clues to her whereabouts are held by a renowned but curmudgeonly writer of comics. Mind you, getting the information out of him may prove tricky, as he's very hard-of-hearing...
