Vampire Squid from Hell

That's the name of this potentially delicious squid/octupus-type creature featured in this short documentary. It's a very creepy species possessing a host of unique talents, including a defensive cloak of phosphorescent, flashlight-like eyes called photophores, and motion detectors.

But let's face it, Vampire Squid from Hell was really meant to be a band name, not some deep-sea dwelling wannabe vampire.

Which reminds me of a recent brainstorming session I had with a couple of friends. Potential band names were flowing:

Bloody Mustache
Isolated Thunderstorm
Space Toddlers
International House of Pedophilia
Rubix Boob
Tomorrow's Triangles
C Drive
Thomas Jefferson & the Troubadours
Johnny Trombone and his Trumpeteers
The Saddest Clown in Cincinnati
The Faketrix
Inverted Circles
Jeffrey's Ironic Coincidence
The Rat Surfers
Wannabe Vampires
Johnny 5 and the Sexual Robots

All of my faithful readers (mom), are free to leave other ideas in the comments section. Winning selections will be announced yesterday on an undisclosed AM radio station.
