Dead Snow
This looks pretty interesting, and fun.
Thanks, Joe, for this great link.
Blazing
It's worth noting that Polaroid is no longer producing instant film, so beautiful images like this one are rather finite. Not cool.

Christmas Decoration Idea
Before I drifted off to sleep last night, I thought of something that would make a pretty neat and classy Christmas decoration - The Ghost of Christmas Future pointing to Ebeneezer's overgrown tombstone. I'd use a variation of my Cloaked Ghost with darker coloring and perhaps some glistening strips of fabric. I did a few searches and couldn't find any versions of this concept as a Christmas display.
It'd be mighty cool when it snowed.

Halloween Window
No props required.

The Flash
My mother usually spends a part of Halloween night taking photos of my display - with one of those disposable cameras made of cardboard. I can hear her cranking the dial to the next photo like a giant annoying cricket. I always hope that she forgot to get a new camera since the last occasion for photographs, but she usually has a brand new disposable camera to flood my props with bright white light on Halloween night. She'll call me a few months later telling me I have to see the photos she took, the ones she's been showing to her friends. I cringe at the thought of my haunt being represented by her washed-out grainy photos from her cheap little camera in a tiny cardboard box.
Sunspots and temporary blindness for these guys.
