Garden Torch

The fuel for such a thing is a toilet paper roll dipped in wax.  Supposedly will burn for 90 minutes.  The Halloween implications are overwhelming.

Dead End Cemetery's Crematorium

I can't say I've ever seen a Crematorium in a home haunt.  This is definitely in the top five coolest yard haunt concepts of all time.  Very original, and crazy fun with the smokestack.

Excellent work, Mr. Macabre!

Northmire Haunt

One of those glorious Haunt photos that captures pretty much everything I want to feel in a Haunt.

And, boy, do I love the torches.

Looking very forward to more photos from this new IG account.

Fires Of Odin

We fought with swords,
before Boring-holmi.
We held bloody shields:
we stained our spears.
Showers of arrows brake the shield in pieces.
The bow sent forth the glittering steel.
Volnir fell in the conflict,
than whom there was not a greater king.
Wide on the shores lay the scattered dead:
the wolves rejoiced over their prey.

(Verse from the Krákumál.)

The Curator

After posting the Flame Torches for the Elite blog post, I was going through my blog looking at old entries with the "Torches" label/hashtag.  The below image came up from way back in 2010, from a now-defunct blog called My Brainchild.  An incredible Haunt and photo.  Look at that owl!

It got me thinking as to how many links on this ancient Halloween blog are now nonfunctional and broken.  And it occurred to me that these images might now only exist on this blog, so I'm really hoping the blogger.com platform remains for literally forever.

And I'm going to occasionally post a Blog Label entry, where I'll feature a different Label and encourage folks to click back through time.  

I'll start with the below tag for TORCHES.

Click below and scroll through these neat photos.  It was nice to see so many Haunts using real flames:

Propane Fire Torches

Very cool (and wildly expensive) gas fire torches (don't call them tiki torches) for all your Haunt Flame needs.
