Bob Velseb is the secondary antagonist of the Spooky Month webseries.
He is a cannibalistic serial killer who claims many lives every Halloween. After escaping prison, he targets Skid and Pump (and later with Jaune as well when she got involved) the next Halloween as payback against the former's mother for getting him arrested. He is also the archenemy of Lila and Jaune.
He was originally voiced by the series creator, Sr Pelo, in the first episode. In Tender Treats, he was voiced by Corey LeVier.
Personality[]
Bob is an extremely psychotic and insane serial killer. He enjoys maiming people and eating them. He is also vengeful and sadistic, choosing to get revenge on Lila by killing her young son and then her, as well as choosing to educate his victims about cannibalism before attacking.
He is so dangerous that if he escapes, the mayor and police grow nervous.
Bob Velseb is also shown to be quite cocky, laughing at Lila when she uses a lemon to defend herself, as well as frequently pausing to eat candy while pursuing his victims, showing that he's certain that he'll catch up later.
This does lead to some of his downfalls as when he crosses the road without looking both ways in pursuit of Skid and Pump, he doesn't spot Jack and John's police car and is run over.
He also appears to love candy more than murder, never resisting an opportunity to snatch up candy. He also seems to be capable of acting decently, walking through the haunted house calmly without attacking anyone despite attacking Streber the vampire guy earlier.
Appearance[]
Bob is a tall, heavy-set man with a crazed grin at all times (even though he could be shown being livid during his villainous breakdown). He has black messy hair, some chin whiskers on his chin that resembles a bit of a goatee, and wears a red turtleneck with black pants, below which he wears his cultist necklace and a utility belt. He also wields a filleting knife and sharpener.
In his devil outfit, Bob's head and hands are now red, with him now having horns and no external ears. His fingers are also sharper and claw-like. He also sports black pants and shoes. In Tender Treats, it is revealed that he has a belt which holds a smaller knife, a carving fork, his knife sharpener and a salt shaker, underneath his sweater. In It's Spooky Month, Bob had pointed red ears instead of horns.
Biography[]
Past[]
Not much is known about Bob's life before the events of Spooky Month, but it's implied he has a connection to Lila and her family, appearing in the background of one of her childhood photos. This could explain his connection to the mysterious cult that Lila and her former husband are implied to have been members of, which might explain him targeting her once she defected. He also ran the butchery shop called Boys and Grills, which he used as a front to store bodies or sell them to unwitting customers, which was closed down after his arrest, with ownership transferred to somebody else.
Spooky Month[]
Bob Velseb is first seen in the first Spooky Month video, in which he is about to murder Lila. Skid arrives on the scene and as his mom beckons him to call the police, he reminds her that it's "Spooky Month," to which Lila gives him a piece of candy. Satisfied, Bob lets go of her and dances as Skid leaves. It is later revealed in a flashback that Lila called 911 and Bob was promptly arrested by officers John and Jack.
Bob briefly appears at the end of Spooky Month: Deadly Smiles, where the news reveals that he had escaped prison and is now on the loose.
In Spooky Month: Tender Treats, there is a warrant for his arrest, due to Mayor Evermore being impatient with Jack and John's slow progress on apprehending him. He is described as being able to appear anywhere.
He is first seen watching Lila in her house from across the street. She remembers him from 3 years ago and calls her friend Jaune for help, but drops the phone when she realizes he broke in. Backed up into the corner, Lila offers Bob a piece of candy like she did in the first episode, but runs away as he closes in, with Bob picking up the candy and eating it.
He corners Lila in the kitchen, where she attempts to distract him by telling him it's "Spooky Month" and does the dance. However, he only dances briefly and whips out a knife. Panicked, Lila grabs a lemon from a cutting board, prompting Bob to mockingly ask if she's trying to season him. To his surprise, she squirts lemon juice in his eye, causing him extreme pain while sprinkling pepper onto his nose, making him sneeze, before finally frying some bacon, slapping it onto his belly and scalding him before knocking him over the head with a pan, escaping while he's distracted.
Bob stalks Lila up to the attic, where he is distracted by a falling mannequin, allowing her to escape and call the police.
The police show up and Bob is nowhere to be found. He is seen stalking Skid and Pump as they trick or treat, and attacks Streber, the worker in the vampire costume at a haunted house, eating his forearm as he walks through the attraction, with Skid and Pump mistaking Streber for a prop as they leave.
He tracks the kids to a candy shop, where he is accidentally pointed out by the clerk Kevin as he scolds the kids for their trouble. Entering the store, he scares away Kevin's coworker Rick, with Kevin attempting to trip Bob by spilling gumballs, only to have the gumballs kicked away by the killer and slipping on the gumballs himself. Escaping to the backroom with the kids, Kevin leaves and just as Bob attempts to chase him, he decides to try some of the candy, giving him a bad stomachache, forcing him to rush off and find a toilet. He kills someone in a stall (presumably his creator Sr. Pelo due to the character's hairstyle and voice) to take it.
On the trail of the kids, he encounters the Hatzgang and after scaring them, steals candy from all of them, showing his fondness for sweets. He eventually catches up to Skid and Pump where he offers to play a game of hide and seek after Skid misinterprets his threats as a game. He stalks them as they hide in his butcher shop, slashing the carcasses he strung up, as well as replicas they made of themselves. Lila, accompanied with Jaune, eventually finds them when they sneak out, but Bob attempts to kill them all, as he was still following them. He gets hit by a police car, and the officers offer to take Skid, Pump, and Lila back home. Bob gets up and breaks into the car, but is shot an excessive amount of times by the officers. He still manages to get back up and crawl onto the hood of the car, mockingly asking if they know how to tenderize meat, only to then be repeatedly run over by Jack until he finally drops dead.
In the Newgrounds ending, after taking his corpse to Patty for examination, she shows his necklace that she found to John and Jack. John then examines a picture showing a cultist in a red cloak wearing the same thing, causing him to realize that they were working together. All of a sudden, Bob's body leans forward, to which John responds by shooting him repeatedly. However, it's revealed that Jack simply positioned him that way to scare them, much to Patty and John's ire.

Trivia[]
- It's possible that Bob might have some sort of personal vendetta against Lila, as evidenced by her frightful reaction to seeing him in a picture with her and Jaune when they were kids.
- Chronologically, Bob is the first villain in the show, appearing in the first seconds of the first video.
- It's possible that Bob has Mad Cow Disease, since he is a cannibal and he mentions MCD.
- According to a tweet by Sr. Pelo, Bob's weapon of choice is a filleting knife as he frequently removes the skin of his victims before eating them.
- A running gag throughout the episode "Tender Treats" is Bob talking about certain facts regarding cannibalism, usually whenever he is about to kill someone.
- Another gag in the episode is that a kid in a devil costume will always show up in the vicinity after Bob leaves, leaving him to be scapegoated for his crimes. Notably when Lila yells at him for trying to kill her, and Kevin mistakes him for Bob and throws hard candy at him. This in turn has caused the kid to be quite paranoid, as when he witnesses Jack and John shooting at his corpse, he runs off in fear, believing that he would be shot for being mistaken for Bob again.
- Among the other villains of Spooky Month that have been introduced so far, Bob is arguably taken the most seriously, as he has been the only one out of all of them who's managed to scare Skid and Pump to the point of screaming.
- That said, he is not without comedic moments. Most notably where he partakes in doing the "Spooky Month Dance" once Lila does it as an attempt to distract him, as well as when she "seasons" him.
- This also makes him the second antagonist in the series to actually scare Skid & Pump, after Roy's Uncle.
- If his name is spelled backwards, it will spell Beslev Bob. This is a reference to Beelzebub, a demon embodying the sin of gluttony.
- This is a possible reference to his affinity for candy, so much so he chooses it over his main hobby, murder and often eats on the job.
- For some reason when Bob is initially run over by Jack and John, he turns into a badly rendered 3D model and ragdolls to the floor. Likewise when he is shot, his body is rendered as a clay model.
- His Design in "Tender Treats" changed slightly from how he looked in "It's Spooky Month", as he used to have smaller pointed ears as opposed to horns, had a darker red turtleneck, and had a significantly different body structure.
- A popular meme in the Spooky Month community was the comparison of Bob's design to the avatar of animator SomethingElseYT, prompting the series creator Sr. Pelo to draw the two dancing together.
- It was revealed that he has a belt where he keeps his other tools, including a smaller knife, a carving fork, his knife sharpener and a salt shaker. It can be shown when he plays "Hide and Seek" with Skid and Pump while he grabs his knife and sharpener as he comes looking to have the kids killed and eaten.
