Michaels Halloween 2018

Pretty happy with this year's offerings from Michaels.  I'd say 80% of their stuff is out already, and it had a nice feel to it.  Not much glitter and there seemed to be more classic designs in the mix this year than previous years.  Hopefully this is a sign of the Halloween shopping season to come...

Junior Mints

Halloween stuff is springing up in the stores...  Michael's and A.C. Moore have some decorations out already.  And the supermarkets have a bunch of Halloween candy.


Loved the design of these Junior Mints, and the fact that they had orange or black mint filling in each piece.  I looked like a weirdo biting these things in half to see the Halloween-colored innards in the parking lot of the local supermarket.  Like I was frantically looking for something...in a weird dark seed.

Basement Witches

Snapped these a few minutes ago.  I like how the smallest Twig Witch came out, as she doesn't look as "friendly" as she did in most of the Haunt photos from 2017.  I think the jaw dimple created an illusion of her smiling fondly.  Hopefully some children thought the same and then were slightly unnerved when they got closer?  I'll never know.

Now Playing: Nostromo

Previously featured years ago, and totally worth a re-post.  Super great concept for a Dark Ambient album by Sleep Research Facility - the sounds of the United States Cargo Star Ship Nostromo, from the film ALIEN.

Click below for the full album.  Each track represents another deck on the ship.


The Tin Man And Joseph-Rob Cobasky

LOVE this piece...

The Graveyard Shift

Must. Go. There.

Eugene’s is a most peculiar, Halloween-themed candy store in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. It carries an assortment of bulk candy, specialty chocolates, nostalgic favorites, and fun novelty — all served with a dash of macabre.

Figured I'd re-mention that I semi-recently started posting to my old empty Instagram account.  Some folks have asked me if I had one and I wanted to post a link:

Lemax Spooky Town 2018 Video Tour

I'm not too crazy about the voice-over on this, so I'd recommend clicking THIS LINK to start a nice instrumental track from Something Wicked This Way Comes, and then clicking the image below to launch the Lemax video (and then quickly mute it so you can hear the instrumental track [but that's just me micromanaging]):


Graveyard Ghouls

Great video below:

Amazing.


More Mister Reusch

I've been a fan of this man's work for a ton of years.
One of the Giants.  His monsters are unlike anything out there.
His poster design skills for gigs and events are simply brilliant.
