I've known of this artist's work for a few years now. If I spent the rest of my life building props inspired by his art, that'd be just fine with me.
The art of Zdzisław Beksiński. His works appeal to me like no other.

The Funeral Parlor
On Douglas Avenue...
Absolutely in love with this haunt, and the site, and the HOUSE.
Very classy display....and terrific photography.

Target
I've been itching for Target to clear the shelves for Halloween stuff and I heard that they're finally doing so. I'll be checking it out soon, and I'll bring my camera.
Here's a pic someone took last year.
Man, I simply cannot WAIT. So much orange and black in one place.

Halloween: High Noon Style
Promoted these guys before... With their latest now released, and even another on the way soon, High Noon Records offers Halloween fans an alternative to the tired and cliched music played at Halloween parties every year. Electro/Western/Dub/Rockabilly/Surf/Swamp Hop Halloween music. Insanely cool Halloween music.
I own them all and I very highly recommend them. Pretty excited about High Noon's upcoming release by Dead End Ranch called "Atmosfear."

Grim Hollow Ghost
A spectacular prop from the Grim Hollow Haunt. Can't wait to see this year's display.
A great site and blog as well.

Johnny Appleseed's Hat
I get asked about Johnny Appleseed's headwear more than any other item in my haunting arsenal. I'm happy to report that his hat is merely a fabric witch hat (with a wire in the brim) which has had its point poked inside the top of the hat. Then the hat was spraypainted with a tan rustoleum paint to accentuate the fibers of the hat and to make it hard to the touch.

Halloween Soap Cometh
The Soap Box Company, my favorite shop for all things smelly, is the best seller of soaps and oils from the Arcana company. Soon they'll be hosting Arcana's latest Halloween line of soaps and scents. I'll be sure to post it here as soon as they list them.
Here are some of their current offerings:
