Midsummer Scream!

Another Midsummer Scream has come and gone, and I cannot wait for next year, when (hopefully) I can be a vendor there, again!

Artis David Everett of Chicken Lips chats with a
fan next to his delightful dead Madame Leota.

Every year, David Markland and Claire Dunlop - plus the White Bats, their personal army of volunteers - gather together the very best of the Hallowe'en community for this incredible weekend convention. The vendors display a dizzying array of strange, unusual, and spooky wares, from makeup and costuming to movie posters and soaps to paintings and sculpture!

The Ghostbusters of So. Cal. were in the house, with their packs and coveted copy of Tobin's Spirit Guide.

I discovered a new (for me) vendor in Haunted Manor.

 

And there was just so much cool stuff to be had! I really wish I'd had more to spend!

I can honestly say that I'd never seen a mouse murder house before, but I suppose it was inevitable.

The Hall of Shadows was filled with small, walk-through haunts which were a ton of fun, plus there were some very elaborate and drool-inducing displays.

I tell you, when I've paid off all the dang attorney's fees from my divorce, there will be some serious thought about the decorating style of my new place... 

 To all the folks at Midsummer Scream, see you next year!
