Happy Holidays!!

From Our Home to Yours!

With Warmest Wishes

The Munsters

NBC plans to redo The Munsters.

It'll be a drama, not a comedy like the 1960's series I absolutely adored growing up. Not sure how I feel about this; I really don't think they can outdo the original. But, I will of course be watching, for better or for worse.

I have to admit, I'm on the edge of my sofa cushion when anything with a paranormal/occult/hell-anything-spookyish theme premieres on the tube. Comfy lounge pants - check. Bowl of snackage - check. Wide-eyed, gleeful anticipation - check.

Please NBC, just do this sacred monstrous sitcom justice.

Oh, Woe Is Me

The last of the Halloween decorations have been packed away & are ready to be brought down to the dungeon. Now is when the foul funk sets in. The winter doldrums will soon have me firmly within its clutches - oh the impending doom of what the season brings...the cold...the constant grayness...the lack of life...the nothingness.

Yeah old man winter, that's what you are to me.

* raspberries to you sir, long, noisy, wet raspberries! *

All Bow to the Pumpkin Master

Lookie what I received today!! Ray Villafane is beyond amazing with his wicked cool pumpkin carving and leaves me nothing short of awestruck! The gargoyle t-shirt on the left was purchased oversized to wear as a nightshirt.......

Happy Halloween To All You Boils & Ghouls!

Wicked Wednesday Unveiling VIII

There's only 12 days left 'til Halloween and all the preparations are finally finished except for the pumpkin carving, which will be done this weekend (I have 9 pumpkins to sacrifice!). This is the last creepy creation being offered before the big day, as I'm going out of town to spend some time with my daughter engaging in some frightfully fun festivities in her area.

This week's offering is a creepy cool Unwelcome sign to warn all those who visit your haunt this season! Features etched-in wording and 'cracks' as well as a skull cabachon and 2 gargoyles! I painted the entire piece to give it the look of stone and provided hardware on back for easy hanging. Measures an impressive 30" across!

~SOLD~

The Walking Dead

Although I'm not much of a television zombie, hehe, I've been anxiously awaiting the return of this series since the end of season 1. The Walking Dead premieres on AMC this Sunday at 8pm CST. For sneak peek photos, an ultimate fan trivia game, a walking dead avatar creator and other creepy cool fun of the undead, check out their official site here.

Now where'd I put that survival guide........

Wicked Wednesday VII

So sorry for the delay in this week's unveiling! I've been busy busy creating the last minute finishes for our yard haunt and the day just completely got away from me!! There's only 19 days left 'til the frightful festivies and the crunch is on both personally and professionally! And I'm loving every minute of it ;) But, not to disappoint, this week's offering is now available on ETSY!

*whew, think I need to put my feet up and sip on a pumpkin latte to decompress a bit

There Should Be A Warning

The outside of the crate should've warned me of the impending scare, or at the very least provided a small packet containing a heart pill 'cuz this is what I encountered when I flung open both sides of the box simultaneously in my childlike excitement! I've been wanting to add this animated prop, called Bernard the Butler (from Grandin Road), to my haunt this year mainly because he quotes 'The Raven' and the li'l black bird on his shoulder also squawks 'Nevermore'.....being the Poe nutter that I am, I couldn't resist! He's actually not scary at all, not really sure why he gave me such a start. It's just

that face

is so

lifelike
