Distant
Sums up the life of the yard haunter.
Always neat to see the other houses with minimal or no decorations at all.
I'm so thankful for those homes that made Halloween memorable and exciting.

The Skull Witch
Applied layers of tattered cloth last night.
I'll add some more tonight and then get her ready for painting.

The Lab
Very happy to re-feature the Spooky Laboratory blog.
Was checking it out tonight and found some more great pieces by horror artist Steve Ring.
Was just watching a great Film Noir vid he featured on his blog.

Abraham Lincoln - Ready To Do Battle With The Undead
When Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the "milk sickness." Only later did he learn that his mother's deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln's father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires. His valiant, bloody fight against the undead was all but lost to history, until Grahame-Smith stumbled upon the secret journal of Abraham Lincoln.

Shrunken Head Necklace
Old photo of a Witch prop my brother and I made when we were 15 years old. She's sporting a necklace of shrunken apple heads. She functioned like a puppet and her eyes could look left to right and her lip would slightly rise up to reveal her teeth on one side of her mouth.
Her hat would later become Johnny Appleseed's hat - with the point poked inward and painted light brown.
I cringe at the wig. Ugh.
And I just noticed, and have no memory of, two fake mice on her shoulder... more UGH.

Vintage Witch
What IS it with these old costumes looking like Satan himself sewed them?
This is truly horrific.

The Big Giveaway
Do I need a reason?
Mr. Kupfer was right, you know... I do love a good joke and this is the best ever - a joke on the children.
But there's a better reason... you don't really know much about Halloween... you thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy.

Jenny Greenteeth
There are many fables and stories surrounding the rivers and waterways of Britain. However, if you go walking by any pool, pond or river at night, be on the look out for Jenny Greenteeth. She is most dangerous for those who are not careful by open water, as she lives beneath the surface on the muddy bottom and feeds upon the unwary. Her lithe form darts back and forth like a fish and with pale green skin and long dark green hair she is no beauty. Yellow frog-like eyes will peer up at you, then her long arms will wrap themselves around you, her foul-green pointed teeth will sink into your flesh and long bony fingers and sharp nails will stroke you into the deepest sleep there is.

Pumpkin Head
I'm hoping that's supposed to be a gravemarker or the religious symbolism is totally lost on me.
