It's Up!

The latest edition of Haunt Cast is up, starring yours truly-with the rest of the Scream Team.

Enjoy!

This year, I had planned to do a Pepper's Ghost illusion in my husband's home office window. Like many of you, the best-laid plans blew up in my face and I couldn't get it done in time. Then, I saw this on the Creep Crafters Yahoo groups list, and may consider this as an alternative.

It looks amazing!

Frankenthanks

From the exceedingly clever and funny Dave Lowe. I give thanks for Para Abnormal Comics. My preferred funnies, every day.

Pumpkin Carving

Wish I'd had this for Halloween!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

And Now For Something Completely Different...

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, it's Orson Welles and frozen peas. I was first exposed to this apparently infamous attempt at recording a frozen peas commercial by Mark and Brian when I was still living in the Los Angeles area. Orson Welles is asked to read some nonsensical copy and gets so annoyed, he walks out of the recording session. Yes, the man responsible for the great War of the Worlds broadcast walked out of the recording studio. I love it!

Daybreakers

I honestly hope this movie lives up to the trailer!

I always wondered why no one had covered the topic of what would happen if vampires did win. No one had seriously explored the geometric progression of the vampire population and the ramifications of it.

Could be fun!

We had our yearly wrap-up meeting on Saturday at my house. Every meeting is a potluck, and this meeting, of course, everyone brought their videos or slideshows of their haunts to show off. Here's one of the YouTube contributions from our group.

One of our members does a puppet show for the kids.

We had such a great time, ate far too much, had too much sugar and killed off two large bottles of champagne. We usually don't have the opportunity to socialize so much, because our meetings are make-and-takes and we're building a project, so the wrap-up meeting tends to be more of a party than a meeting. I'm good at parties!

Below, the rogues who made it out to my place. What a great group of people!
