Back From (or To) The Dead

So how is everybody?
No I didn't die or anything, just went into the usual post Halloween funk.
To be honest, 'funk' is not the proper word.
I'll just say, Christmas with a 1 year old is a blast but nothing really appropriate for a Halloween blog.
So, I lost track of things, hope you can forgive me.
I did NOT, however, miss the incredible displays this year.
This was an inspired year for almost everybody!
So...guess it's time to get back in the swing of things.

Happy Halloween

Returned from the wedding with aching feet. Watched some of the Addams Family marathon before Monster Baby went to bed.
Not a single ToT'er.

Drove back up to my Mom's to drop off the tux and listened to 'Inner Sanctum' and 'Lights Out' and the Halloween Stomp CD.

About to settle down for the night and let 'Bride of Frankenstein' usher me to dreamland.

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.

Night.

Took monster Baby to a farm/pumkin patch yesterday. That look is par.

Don't Go In The Basement!

At least not when you're visiting Necropolis Manor.

Boil and Bubble

There are three things you can be sure of in this world.
I forget the other two but the third is Pumpkinrot will knock your jaw in the dirt.

I'm all about the icons of Halloween. The atmosphere. I love Jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, corn fields, pumpkin patches...and Witches!
Real witches. Evil, creepy witches.
Rot makes the best witches and compliments them with amazing photography.

The Grimvisions Ghastly Halloween 2009 Giveaway

So many wonderful events and countdowns this year!
Let's start with Grimvisions Ghastly Halloween 2009 Giveaway.
There are 13 (MWUHAHAHAHAAAA) ways to enter to win one of these beautiful pieces from Grimvisions, DaveTheDead of ShadowFarm and King Unicorn of Anathema Arcana.
These people make creatures so, beautiful, creepy and inventive that, frankly, it's almost discouraging. I mean that in a good way. No matter how cool something looks in my head I know I simply do not have the talent to create anything even close to it.
Thank goodness for these people. Because they can.

I've essentially been a lurker for years with limited contact with a few haunters. But I am much more involved in the Halloween/haunter community this year and it's great. There are so many great events and wonderful people out there. More to come...

Born2Haunt

Blind clicking through links on Halloween/Haunt blogs usually leads to some great finds.
Today's furious clicking brough me to born2haunt.
Lots of projects and Hot To's. (How Tos? - shavings mug?).
