Hey everyone! I guess last month’s Scaretober scare-themed mailout was spookier than I realized. A few local police departments got involved and some post offices threw the mailer right in the “too spooky to deliver” incinerator. Whoops! Honestly I didn’t think that mailmen read envelopes besides the address part.

Just wanted to do a quick check-in, do you guys prefer future mailouts to be less terrifying or 30x more terrifying? Whatever wins, I will abide by. Also, have you been receiving the mailers ok in general? 

Lastly: I just spent the last few days driving myself & everything I own from LA to Brooklyn and boy are my wheels tired. Thanks for being patient patrons as I get back in the groove of putting things out regular. And thank you for being a patron in general. I love you and everyone you're related to!

Can someone please tell me what the mailer was?! I can't find it in previous posts

Brett

I received mine. The post man said "it was the most interesting piece of mail hes ever seen"

Dane McLean

30x. My biggest request is don't post the mailer on Instagram until after the patrons receive them in the mail. Seeing it on insta first decreases the spookification by 30x.

David Gardner

I got mine in the mail but the top corner of the envelope was deliberately torn open so I’m guessing they wanted to see what was inside lol

Thomas Klein

I don’t care about “terrifying” as much as I do “funny.” They’ve all been great, but the piss doctor one was my favorite by far.

Justin

I'm assuming Canada Post took one look at it and said 'ah, nope.' Which means you're doing something right.

Roland De Blasio

didn’t get mine… who knows what happened. but the spookier the better!

Dylon J Brock

Mine had clearly been opened and resealed. Keep up the amazing work ❤️

Katherine DePasquale

I got mine, so the threat was clearly not high enough to fuck with the constitution of your average Boston mail carrier. Try harder--maybe include a grenade?

Kim Vincent

I got mine and I wonder what my postman thinks… but apparently no one in my post office cares that much! 😂

camography101

Mine came with the corner burned. USPS put it in a bag with an apology note…

Kim Vincent

Oh — congrats on the move!

Laurie Canning

Mine had a tiny corner torn off. Also I still haven’t watched it because I don’t have the right equipment for a dubbed video dub. Kinda scared to ask my neighbor or dad.

Matthew Rosenberg

I'm with everyone else. Don't change a thing. Those mailers are the highlight of my month. I do agree with the other person who suggested not posting them on Instagram. It would be an even bigger and better surprise. Maybe wait until 3 weeks after they're mailed to post.

Alex Loughborough

I’ll take funny and bizzaro over spooky. My mail person definitely trashed mine, so now I’ll never know what become of Thurgood!!! 😰😰😰

Gabrielle Elleirbag

My friend picked up my mail for me and was seriously concerned. 30x more terrifying please, I would love to increase the discomfort these mailers give my loved ones.

Brandon Barton

No issues receiving mine, love the spooky

Diana

mine never came so maybe less spooky?

Chris Ottum

I got mine, but it was torn. The DVD still worked fine!

Nate Schwichtenberg

I’m afraid I may never find out what happened to Thurgood. Have received all the previous ones though. I agree with posting well after mailing so it is a surprise to us Patreons what we receive.

Acat

I received mine and was given an honorary sheriff’s badge for finding thurgood

Ben Spainhour

Mine never came, sorry Thurgood!

Chris Matthias

Mine got through. My PO is probably on the small side and it's probably a little less informal than a bigger municipality, but the next time I see my mail person, I want to let them know that it's okay to deliver super spooky mail to my address

Kyle Brottlund

My local post office had no issues delivering this spooky mail. I did miss out on the magnets from back in July. I figured they got stuck in a mail sorting machine or something.

Chris Matthias

After seeing all the comments, it does seem like the postal workers may have been more concerned about the potential damage to the package as opposed to its spooky qualities. The envelope was intentionally ripped as part of the gag but I don't think they realize that when they were sorting through the hundreds of pieces of mail, they probably had to get through

William Kehl

I want it to be 30X more terrifying, but I didn't receive this month's :(

Bryan Todd

Never got one in my mailbox.

BloatedShrimp

I received mine and had multiple heart attacks from it. It was great!

Matt Strayer

Ours never made it, must have been confiscated.

Fejj Milversan

honestly, getting a spooky October surprise in my mailbox made my day. So did receiving this letter about Thurgood.

Robert Brunello

I got mine and was very pleased when it arrived. Looking forward to more spooking stuff!

Dustin

I never received mine so less spooky. Also I would love if you posted the video for us patrons with cowardly mail boxes

Kristen

I never got mine. What do they have against Thurogood at the post office?

Luke Hugenroth

As much as I personally would love more terrifying, I think it’s smart to maybe do a liiiitle bit less threatening. (Even though I absolutely loved the letter)

Holden M.J.

Mine came in a special “sorry we fucked your Mail up” baggie and had a corner torn off. My housemate brought in the mail and when I got home she said “that criminal sent you mail again.”

Rach

I did not get mine this month :/ I would prefer more terrifying but I also would like to receive it

Dave

I’d love a mix of 30x more terrifying and whatever other mad shit you dream up (that isn’t necessarily terrifying)

Jim Dooley

Alan. Please keep being your creative self. If I have to go to prison, so be it. I loved all the detail on the envelope. I also love Thurgood.

James Lamberg

Loved this mailing. Only issue was no one I know has a DVD player or DVD slot in their computer. I'll never know what happened to my poor friend Thurgood!

Chris

Mine never arrived so perhaps a little less spooky but more weird

susie Davis

Hi Alan, such archaic technology! I as well had no way to play the DVD. Can you post a link to the video so those of us who have moved beyond DVD players can have a look. PS I love you!

Jordan V

Did not receive :( keep the horrors coming!

Antonio Pagan

Mine never made it, but still: 30x. I will gladly sacrifice my mailers in the name of confounding postal workers. As a UPS driver myself, it gets boring out there. An exceptionally hilarious parcel makes my week.

kilgore mantrout

I pretended like I didn’t know what it was when my roommate handed it to me. They were and maybe still are quite uncomfortable

seanisbad

Ha! Mine just arrived in Phoenix. There’s a U.S. Postal Inspection sticker on the back envelope and signed by a “Postal Inspector”..

Petra’s Father

we love ours and pls 30x more. also we have a dvd player and why doesn’t everyone

Boris

Mine never arrived… and now every day my mailman stops, gets out of his truck and asks me if I’m “doing ok”. I say yes, he winks and slowly drives away while watching me through the rearview mirror.
