Final Absolution

I would really love to do something like this for my front walkway for Hallowe'en.

Psst... Want Some Candles, Little Boy???

Dark Candles is back, but I'm not sure for how long. From the newsletter I received today:



Dark Candles are back online and you can start ordering them today.We will be making candles all summer long, including all the Halloween scents, the Halloween limited edition and the Dark Holiday scents too.Once we have made a large enough quantity we will stop production until next year. Once they are gone for this year, they will be gone. So stock up early for the holidays!
So I'm not sure exactly what she means by "Once they are gone for this year, they are gone." Perhaps forever? Perhaps until next year? (I think that's what she means...)


In any case, if you've never ordered these, do it. Pumpkinrot turned me on to these, and I use them in my haunt every year without fail. People love the way my yard smells!

I don't care! I'm going to order here pretty quickly! And so should you, particularly that amazing "Dark Carnival" scent.


Mmm... Smells like Hallowe'en....

Oh, and? A Little Horseman for You!

A Little More WCHC

Sorry for the delay, kids, but this has been catch-up week for me around the homestead. Of course, when I catch up with house work, my back has a tendency to flare up on me, so I've been dealing with that, as well. :o/ 


*sigh* I hate getting older.


But... Here are a few more pics from West Coast Haunters. Ape had a fantastic time, and managed to "scare" a haunt actor. I think maybe she was being kind to him, so please, don't tell him he wasn't as fierce and scary as he thought!
The Bloodshed Brothers, kind enough to pose with an old lady like me!
Haunted Memories, with the best t-shirt of the show!
Hauntcast supporter, Skull Shoppe, posing with Chris Aype.
 

That smile is why I keep making those silly jack-o'-lanterns!
More soon!

Thank you for my childhood, Mr. Bradbury. You'll be missed.

Hauntcast (and Ape) is in da House!


Christmas Ape, kickin' it in the hotel, and resting for a big day with his fans!
It's the first day of West Coast Haunters Convention, and can I just share with you what a wonderful job Ed Roberts, the Davis Graveyard crew and everyone who is attached to this young haunters convention has done and is doing for us? I heard from several of the crew yesterday, "Please let me know if you need any help with anything!" and let me tell you, they really mean it!


I needed extra tablecloths. No problem. An extra table. No problem! Help with a couple of very minor issues. No problem! Taken care of with a big smile! 


I. Am. In. Love. With this convention!


The Bloodshed Brothers came in last night, so we got a chance to sit and catch up. For those of you who have seen Jeromy's girl, Olivia, on the Blood Vlogs, I just want to tell you, she actually is that pretty (and thin! But I'm not jealous at all! :oP) and a really sweet, witty, and down to earth kind of gal. (Jer- don't blow it! ;o)) 


It was so fantastic to see everyone last night! I am already having so much fun, and the convention doesn't even start until 9:00AM today.


Oh, crap! That means I need to go get ready! See y'all later!
