Best in boo


So this house is always a stop I need to make. It's in Cole Valley and these people must be loaded. Y'know, with H'ween spirit.

The Sock that Dreaded Sundown!


My shoddily made half socks just reminded me of one of the scariest movies of my youth. Which I never even saw because my sister terrorized me so badly by pulling her hoodie way down over her face and yelling spookily, The Town That Dreaded Sundown! Now that a remake is about to be released, I'm excited to see how it all goes down.

Hey, Kleenex...

..if you can't keep the H'ween-themed boxes coming, it appears someone else is ready and able to kick your sorry ass to the curb. Yay for Tarzhay!  (And you're on notice, Bounty.)

Hello, Octo2014!


How happy am I that October is here? I got crafty (in both senses) and made plans.


Perhaps I overplanned, (click to see enlarged version) but what? It's all fun stuff - getting pumpkins and carving them up, making tiny mummies of everything that sits on my mantle, buying creepy stuff to add to the crypt of h'weenery in my garage and watching way, way too much spooky TV.

But the real point of the season isn't yet another to-do list. It's all about opening yourself up to the eerie, mysterious, even darker aspects of the everyday. That time you thought you saw a psycho clown in the supermarket. That howling sound the wind makes as it rushes down the chimney. That day when the sunlight shifted and you knew summer was over. That moment when the usual falls away and gives you chills and tells you there's more to life.

And then there's the wax lips. Enjoy!
