The Merkins are a comedy duo with a passion for creating content centered around pop culture, music, and (mostly) horror. Whether it’s music videos, skits, or weird stuff we probably shouldn’t admit to, we’re here to bring laughs to the internet!
I’m excited (and nervous) to finally introduce my original character, @GOURDLORD . While a pumpkin head might not be groundbreaking, I’ve always loved the photoshoots where people wear carved pumpkins, and I wanted to bring that to life year-round. The Gourd Lord will also serve as my character for some live streams with The Merkins, burying my fake of a fake, Roy Burns for good.
This project has been full of stress and I’m relieved to finally start creating content that blends my passion for original music, covers, nostalgia, visuals, and, of course, Halloween. As a horror parody YouTuber/content creator for over 5 years, my love for 80s and 90s vibes, along with my obsession with fall, has always influenced my work. The memories and simplicity of those times feel like home, and what better character to embody that than one with a carved pumpkin on their head? Every detail is not 100 percent perfect, but it’s time to move forward. Thank you to Space Family Trading for taking on this project and Scream Premium for the introduction. They worked through every challenge, communicated every step, and created a mold I can use for future helmets, capturing the true color of a pumpkin.
Tim from Veda Toys sculpted it from scratch and showed me how to 3D scan my head, ensuring the fit after numerous tweaks. Tim is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Thank you to Jay from Zombies and Toys for test printing a million times and dealing with me. Props to Nick Mulpagano for his guidance and touch-ups, as he always nails it, like Vanilla Mike. Credit to Matt Campy for his patience photographing me while I complained about the camera focus box and gave instruction.
Lastly, thank you to The Merkins community. Your love, support, and generosity make this all possible. It would mean a lot if you gave Gourd Lord a follow here and on the link in bio.
Things got a bit unhinged when Jason took over the Tik Tok stream on Friday night… 🤣 Thanks for all the love! Matt Campy is giving Tommy Jarvis vibes here!
We love @officialdavidhale and this needs to be a Halloween staple! Please check this out today as we do not post our videos on Halloween because everyday is Halloween here at The Merkins!
