Dark
Placed my order for the limited edition Halloween pack from DarkCandles.com featuring:
Bonfire, Autumn Harvest, Chocolate Bat, and Jack O'Latte. I love the description of Chocolate Bat - "A tantalizing blend of chocolate and a mixture of Halloween candy! Reminiscent of an orange plastic Jack O'Lantern full of Halloween loot!"

Yankee Halloween
A long time ago, the Yankee candle company sold a scented candle called HALLOWEEN. It quickly was replaced by their WITCH'S BREW and TRICK OR TREAT scented candles. I'm fortunate enough to own one of these beauties. I'd describe the scent as cloves and black licorice, but that really isn't doing it justice. I hope they re-release HALLOWEEN again so I can start burning this candle for more than a few minutes at a time.

Sweet Lord!
High-Tech Halloween
I'd show up at this thing just because of the words Bradbury, Halloween, and Skeletons all on the same advertisement.

Going through old photos today from Halloween 2007. So many that I never posted to my site for one reason or another. Here's one that I thought was pretty neat.

BEER!
I'm forever wanting to find a Pumpkin Ale/Beer during the Fall season that meets my expectations of what a Pumpkin Ale/Beer should taste like. I like my beers thick like a milkshake, so I usually go for something like Guinness or Boddingtons, so in my mind the perfect Pumpkin Beer is a thick orangy sweet drink with hints of clove and other dark spices. I've never found it. Mostly because it's almost Christmas when I get on my Pumpkin beer kick.
Here's a neat article on a few beers on the market that boast the word PUMPKIN. I'm going to make an effort to try as many Pumpkin Beer varieties as possible this season and post them on this blog. Cheers.

A few more stunning pieces of work from artist Stephen Gammell.
Gammell artwork is hard to come by on the internet.
I found these images on
Mandi Louise's blog.
Here's a pretty nice list of books which he has illustrated.
HALLOWEEN POEMS is pure gold. And I just noticed a book called
THANKSGIVING POEMS that I do believe I HAVE to have.

Some WAV files for your listening pleasure.
One of these days I'll share my brush with celebrity greatness when I made a complete fool of myself in front of the man himself - Bruce Campbell.
