It&#8217;s Donnie the Demon&#8217;s fifteen minutes of fame and what takes place may just earn an infamous reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Unbeknownst to Donnie, his old bullies from hell, Melgrim and Grimmel, are actually behind the entire costume commercial. Up for a little more hands on chaos this Halloween, the pair of evil demons are disguised as camera operators, running the whole event even without the two reporters knowing it.<\/p>\n<p>Too dimwitted to suspect anything, Donnie sits down with Dan Jennings and Caitlin Scott to discuss his passion for costumes, unaware that all new passions of a more explicit nature are soon to be released. As the models come out on stage to show off a few select costumes, new and classic ones, Melgrim and Grimmel hold their fate under their fingers, pressing a very special hell button while focusing in on them with the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The hell button changes the models into only the most perverse version of the costumes they are wearing, leading to some rather unfit for television moments and a definite interview of a lifetime for both Dan and Caitlin.<\/p>\n<p>If they&#8217;re expecting Donnie to explain the madness that soon is spreading, they might just have to wait until he&#8217;d finished with his favorite snack on earth, mini-pizzas. As far as he knows, humans just love playing kinky games when wearing costumes and what happens during his commercial will make most Halloween games pale by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Put on your costume, pop some mini-pizzas in the microwave, and get set to experience the most over the top tale yet starring everyone&#8217;s favorite if simple demon, Donnie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/488186\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Donnie-Demons-Costume-Commercial-Halloween-ebook\/dp\/B00OYTL6A6\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\nNow On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He&#8217;s big with fiery red eyes, big leathery wings, and never far from a tray of mini-pizzas.
