Blue

There's a wonderful post over at the October Branches Halloween blog.  Tjalgahorn explored a topic that could make or break a Home Haunt - lighting.  And in particular... blue lighting.  It's a terrific entry and feels like a blog post from the old days of Halloween blogs.  When you could take a break at work during lunch or pour some coffee on a weekend and go see what people were featuring.  Much slower pace than the modern form of social media.  Maybe a dozen (or more) regularly-updated blogs... paragraphs of thought for your reading pleasure.  Funny stories, prop how-to's, Haunt photo galleries, movie trailers, random life stories...  all out there in the blogosphere.  Not many of us left these days, and that makes T's post extra special to this guy.

Beware The Carver

I feel a connection to this year's display from Tjalgahorn.  Firstly, there are wonderful scarecrows.  Then, there's their creator.  A killer.  A monster.  A "builder"...  His victims become scarecrows.  A violent, cruel, and humiliating end.  He's The Carver, and as the old verse goes:  Don't let him catch you with a shadow'd embrace... He'll scoop out your seeds and carve you a face!

I personally find peace in the thought of being turned into a scarecrow.  I just hope my murderer uses a lot of squiggly roots.

Now Playing: Skeleton In The Closet

By Artie Shaw.  

Thanks, Tjalgahorn, I never heard this version before and it's primo.

And the fact that he uses his motif from Nightmare is insane to me.  I love it.

Blog: October Branches

We Halloween bloggers have to stick together.  So few of us remaining these days.  Turns out that Tjalgahorn isn't only a terrific Haunter (click here), he has a pretty neat Halloween blog too.

Crop Of The Faceless Spirit

Wow.  This display by Tjalgahorn is really amazing.  I love the contrast of hot and cold lighting.  This Haunt tells a story.  A quiet backstory about Torment and Tribute (assumption).  And I love not knowing for sure.
