Psycho Calendar Makes Weird News

Monica Garske has the insanely fun job of writing the "Weird" column for AOL. Whenever Psycho Donuts is 'strangely interesting' enough to intrigue the writer of a Weird column, it puts a smile on the Chief Psycho's face. And The 2011 Psycho Nurse 13-Month Calendar inspired Monica to write a Psycho Pstory! I guess that a 2011 calendar inspired by crazy antics of Psycho donut nurses, paranoid pastries, and demented original artwork is enough to attract the weird news. Big thanks to Monica for the article, and to Marc Arsenault of WowCool - creator of the Calendar.



The Psycho Calendar Launch Event!
Friday Nov 5, 7 - 9pm
Psycho Campbell and Psycho San Jose
If you're thinking about intriguing and unusual gifts for your friends this coming holiday season, the Psycho Calendar is a mandatory expenditure! This Friday night, November 5 - come to our Psycho Calendar Launch Event, from 7 - 9pm, at Psycho Campbell and Psycho San Jose. You'll pick up a calendar for only $9.99 (regularly $13), and you'll also receive a free donut with your purchase - not to mention over $66 worth of Psycho coupons inside the calendar! Have your calendar autographed by one of our Psycho Nurse models or artists! It might be worth $13.50 someday on Ebay! Or maybe it'll just be the coolest calendar you ever bought. And if you're not local but still want a Psycho Calendar, pick one up online!

If you're in San Jose this Friday night, check out the amazing artwalk that is South First Fridays! Psycho San Jose is giddy to be the newest member of South First Fridays. Stop by and check out the crazy artwork at Psycho San Jose this Friday night, November 5.
Halloween weekend was beyond crazy at Psycho Donuts. Did you catch our 2nd Annual Bobbing for Donuts Competition? Congrats to our winners, Jessica "Sprout" McCarthy and Martin Antolini. A big thanks to all of our competitors, and to our friends (roommates?) at ComedySportz - emcees for the crazy competition. And to the StarNectar BMX team, who turned the Psycho parking lot into a ramp for bike tricks.



Did you get your mouth on one of our Halloween donuts? We had the craziest green donuts of the year. Body part donuts, spider donuts, and more!


Cult Movie Thursdays at 9pm!

This Thursday night at Psycho San Jose and Camera 3, it's Pulp Fiction! Join us for another great cult movie, and see what kind of donuts the psychos are inspired to make for the occasion!

Psycho Halloween is Almost Here!


Halloween is almost here; and crazy donuts are on the way! More about our crazy Halloween donuts soon. The nurses are getting ready too. Check out Nurse Stephanie's zombie look a couple nights ago at Psycho San Jose!

Bobbing for Donuts!
1pm - Psycho Campbell
3pm - Psycho San Jose
We're a week away from our Halloween tradition - Bobbing for Donuts. Who will dunk their heads in a trough of donut glaze to pull out the most donut holes? Come check it out on Halloween Day - at both Psycho locations. Wanna participate? We may still have space available! Send us an email and tell us why we should select you to participate!
Also, check out Psycho Scarioke, at Psycho Campbell - Halloween morning at 10am -- with our good friend Bruce Rogers.
Our Psycho Giants keep coming - at least until the Giants win it all! Check out all the Psycho Giants Donuts here. KNTV liked them so much, they put Nurse Johnette on the news, which coincided with Johnette's 21st birthday. Happy Birthday Johnette - you're crazy!

Cult Movies are jamming at Camera 3 and Psycho San Jose, every Thursday night at 9pm. Last week it was The Big Lebowski. Did you come for The White Russian Donut? This week's cult movie is Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Descend into madness with a crazy Clockwork donut in hand!

And speaking of crazy cult movies... this Saturday night it's The Rocky Horror Picture Show, with live cast Barely Legal. If you missed the last one, you also missed the collection of Rocky Donuts that added a wild twist to an already wild event. It'll be even better than watching Glee perform Rocky Horror, we promise! The pre-show begins at 11:30pm Saturday night, October 30. And LIPS will appear on screen at the stroke of midnight! Psycho Donuts and Rocky Horror together, helping to usher in the start of Halloween at midnight? You gotta be there!
Looking for some really crazy fun during the afternoons on Halloween weekend? Check out The Summit to the Sea wine tasting event. Three wineries will be pairing Psycho Donuts with equally crazy wines from Burrell School Vineyards, Loma Prieta Winery, and Poetic Cellars.

Finally, our good friend - The Slow Poisoner - came to perform his surreal, one-man show at Psycho Campbell on Saturday morning. All in attendance were poisoned quite well. We hope to see Slow at our San Jose store soon!

Halloween Recap, Friday the 13th!, Premiere of Precious

Friday the 13th is coming, and we couldn't just let it scream by! We'll be showing the original Friday the 13th on our Flat Screen TV. Hope you can join us for a screaming good time - Friday, Nov 13 at 8pm. Only at Psycho Donuts!


Halloween was insane at Psycho Donuts. The antics began with Psycho Costume Karaoke. There were really great performers, and really funny performers. Nurse Anna showed off her broadway chops in full zombie regalia.


Special thanks to Bruce Rogers of Kor Karaoke for making it all possible!


In the afternoon, attention shifted to Bobbing for Donuts - where 4 contestants glazed their heads while blindfolded, attempting to extract green donut holes from a trough of soupy glaze.

Special thanks to the Silicon Valley Roller Girls, and Caffe Trieste for their participation!

In the evening, there was live entertainment provided by Bay Area's Raw-G$. They put on a great show, and we hope to have them back again soon.

Finally, come to the movies with us! Psycho Donuts will be on hand with Psycho Psamples as The Campbell Cinema Club and Camera Theaters in The Pruneyard present a premiere of PRECIOUS. More details about the event on our Facebook Events Page.
