19 Days and Counting

When considering our Halloween Costumes what do we do?

We ask our shadows, ” hey guys, what’s looking good? ”

Most of what our shadows like to wear would give Stephen King nightmares and make your Grandma have a hissy fit, but THAT is what Halloween is all about.

The thing is, what if you honestly don’t have a single shadow or  dark thought?

I  know, humans are human and we all have shadows.

Unless you’re a dog.

This is  one of my dog’s costumes- he’s a Unincorn.

There are 19 days till Halloween- have fun playing with your shadows until then.

20 Days and Counting

Halloween needs a soundtrack like all holidays do.

Sometimes  Halloween music gets a little matchy matchy- the music and decorations go hand in claw. The visuals and audio are all about blood and fangs and witches and werewolves and ghosts and that is all fine.

Sometimes you need to think outside the box. Just add some old imagery to some new tunes with a little spin and see how it feels.

l found a cover of Thunderstruck by AC/DC done in the medieval style and  it was awesome. It’s going to add a little flavor to my playlist

You have 20 Days left till Halloween.

Rock On.

21 Days and Counting

I learned something new about Spirits today:

Spirits have a profound sense of smell! They are often attracted to certain scents.

             What scent would wake you from your eternal slumber?

It’s 22 Days Until Halloween-Watch Out for Vampires!

In the event you are plagued by Vampires or believe you might fall victim to one this Halloween, you can take the following steps.

In 17th and 18th century Poland, people who were candidates to become one of the living dead were buried with sickle across their throats ( so that when they got up they would cut their heads off ).

You can also place a large rock under their chins ( and in some cases jam them down their throats ) to prevent them from drinking blood.

Or you can go old school and stake them through their chests with iron rods like this man  who was was believed to be Vampire.

He was staked over 700 years ago and buried in a monastery in Bulgaria:

Believe or don’t believe but you can be sure of this- Halloween is 22 days away.
