Joker

The Joker is a supervillain clown with green hair, white skin, and red lips. He has no superhuman abilities. Instead, he uses his expertise in chemical engineering to develop poisonous or lethal concoctions and thematic weapons. Sometimes he works with other supervillains but these collaborations usually collapse due to his desire for chaos.

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with Red, White & Green covers (no other colors allowed - except for text)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with weapons on the cover
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with the word POISON in the text
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with the authors initials in JOKER

Please note there were exceptions made for Arm 1. You can find these in the Q&A.

[Vicki]

[Trisha]

[Lexi]

Hi, I am helping Donna out by dropping off tasks. I can't edit the spreadsheet, but I can assign tasks. No pictures either, as they are creepy.

Kent McCoy

Kent McCoy is a loving father who when hosting a birthday party for his son finds an old clown costume in the basement of a house he is selling and puts it on when the hired clown can't make it. He's then unable to take the costume off and soon starts changing, upon contacting the previous owner of the costume he learns it is the hair and skin of an ancient Icelandic demon called the "Clöyne" and that dismemberment is the only way to prevent the possession. Once possession has occurred the only way to release the host is to eat 5 children.

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books set in Iceland
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a 5 in the publication date
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books tagged family
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a house on the cover

[Trisha]

Thank you!!

[Trisha]

I hope you guys are all loving your reads!

[Vicki]

I finally got my Iceland book done, so we are finished with Kent McCoy

I checked us in.

[Trisha]

YAY! I loved that one! I hope you did too!

Killjoy

Killjoy is a clown-like demon that is the end result of black magic on behalf of tragic individuals who sought love and closure but instead became victims of violence and injustice before being reborn by Killjoy's magic. In the end, after the deaths of their rivals and tormentors, these people who summoned him paid a terrible price by losing their souls to Killjoy. Thus, Killjoy was born and began to murder everyone he came across, prone to driving an ice cream truck.

To capture Killjoy you will need to summon him BEFORE you chain him up. Spell out RIVAL. Then complete the chains below
R
I
V
A
L

Complete the following tasks Must complete spellout above 1st
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with dessert on the cover
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with demons
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books tagged revenge
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in ICE CREAM TRUCK

[Angie ☯]

I only added the spellout letters on the spreadsheet, since we need to complete that before starting the chains. Thought we could add the chains once we finish the spell out.

[Trisha]

Perfect!! thank you!!

[Trisha]

I'm so sorry guys, it's going to take me a week or 2 to finally get to my picks. I'm trying to catch up on my Netgalley current reads but I promise I'll get to them as soon as I can!!

[Angie ☯]

No worries, Trisha!

[Vicki]

I still have one book to read, Trisha. No worries! We know you'll get to what you can asap. Keep up the good work on NG!

[Trisha]

YAY! I had to get to a different ARC and it worked for dessert on the cover so my tasks are finally done! WOOHOO!

[Vicki]

I FINALLY got my last book done, too!!! Sorry it took me so long!

[Trisha]

[Trisha]

we're checked in!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Pennywise (IT)


IT is a shapeshifting creature from the species known as Deadlights. IT arrived on Earth in an event similar to an asteroid impact landing in Derry, Maine. Once people settled here, IT adopted a 25-27 year hibernation, waking to kill and eat.

Its true form seems to be a female spider but it can morph into any human animal, nonhuman animal or object, and any combination thereof. There are benefits to this ability because IT can manipulate its targets by appearing as loved ones to lure them into traps or as their worst fears. It's favorite form is that of a clown named "Pennywise" because small children love clowns. At the same time, many people fear clowns.

IT feeds on humans but prefers children as they are easier to scare and manipulate. According to the creature, frightened flesh tastes better and uses fear to "salt the meat".

To capture IT, he must be in his clown form or he will trick you. You must force him into his clown form BEFORE you chain him up. Spell out CLOWN. Then complete the chains below.
C
L
O
W
N


Complete the following tasks Must complete the spellout above 1st
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books set in Maine
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with shapeshifters
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in SPIDER
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books that have 25 or 27 intact in the page count (example: 250 pgs or 127 pgs)

[Angie ☯]

Hi ladies!
We have to complete the CLOWN spell-out first, but I still added all the tasks in the SS.

I can take the L, if that is okay, because I just finished a book that fits. If someone needs it, though, I will switch!

[Vicki]

I just finished an L this morning too. lol But no worries. My L book also fits the C! I'll look over my books and this time I will be quicker to get mine done!! (However, no promises!) lol

[Vicki]

For Leg 2 25 or 27 pages, do we each have to have the same either 25 or 27, or can one of us have 25 and two have 27?

[Angie ☯]

Vicki wrote: "For Leg 2 25 or 27 pages, do we each have to have the same either 25 or 27, or can one of us have 25 and two have 27?"

I don't think we have to have the same number. If we've had to on past Clowns, Donna has noted it. (Like, there was a task for a title that started with a letter in ART and it say we had to use the same letter.)

[Angie ☯]

Vicki wrote: "I just finished an L this morning too. lol But no worries. I'll look over my books and this time I will be quicker to get mine done!! (However, no promises!) lol"

You can have the L, Vicki! I don't mind!!

[Trisha]

Yes take all the letters you need! Thx for filling in the SS

[Vicki]

You can have the L,..."

My L book worked for O, so we're both good!

[Angie ☯]

Awesome! Thank you!!

[Angie ☯]

I will look for a N!

[Trisha]

I shuffled books around we're done with the Spell out as of 6/17! Yay!

NOW on to the tasks! WOOHOO!

[Trisha]

[Angie ☯]

Hey!
I think I updated all my books for this clown. I need to check though. I'm having a hard time keeping up with my challenges!!! Lol

[Trisha]

[Angie ☯]

I had a wonderful vacation! But work is a pain! Lol
I am trying to update as I finish a book (but I join soooo many challenges - I obviously have a problem!)

Don't ever hesitate to yell at me, if I haven't updated and you are waiting on me! Or if you just want to know if I'm still around! LOL

[Trisha]

[Trisha]
