The weather forecast is looking good for us at the moment, so we're perfectly on track to have everything in place for the photo shoot tomorrow afternoon/evening.
Can't wait to see it all come together and share some photos on Halloween morning. It's definitely going to be our finest hour. For a lot of reasons...
Won't be posting any entries until the morning of our High Holiday, so I wish everyone amazing weather and all the magic that Halloween can give.
I remember the first time I stumbled upon this ghoulish event hosted inside of a New York cathedral. It seemed impossible that something so strange and macabre would even be permitted inside such a structure.

Man, there's nothing like Halloween.
Strangers giving out free candy to kids they never even met. Civilized folks putting severed heads and mini-cemeteries on their front lawns... Orange, green, and purple lights strung around porches... and that amazing moment when you spot a real jack o'lantern smiling fire. I saw one last night on a porch step and I might as well have seen Santa Claus. H A L L O W E E N.
An annual tradition and a personal favorite High Noon release...
Every track...reminds me of the days of trick-or-treating...when you'd approach a house all decked out with homemade decorations and you'd hear wind sound effects and creepy music playing from the bushes. Back then, man, that was so unexpected and cool. And totally unnerving and spooky to a kid.

A fellow Haunter asked me for any tips I had in regards to restoring aging latex Halloween props. The cracks and dryness...the broken edges...the flakes.
I never really used latex in my props, but I know the horror of finding our old rubber masks in a box my mother jammed into her attic after one hot summer season... it was like when Donald Sutherland's character in Invasion of the Body Snatchers feels the love of his life crumble under his fingertips as he hugs her.
Does anyone have any pointers/tips for how to extend the life of latex props...or how to repair them once aging has set in?
After closing briefly, I wanted to let people know the shop is back open and ready to take orders.
There's still time to get some Anise & Clove candles before the big day...

Always great to see photos from K.O.'s annual outing to the New England states...

There was at Auburn an old, abandoned cemetery. It was nearly in the heart of the town, yet by night it was as gruesome a place as the most dismal of human moods could crave. The railings about the plots were prostrate, decayed, or altogether gone. Many of the graves were sunken, from others grew sturdy pines, whose roots had committed unspeakable sin.
