    Maternity Costumes

    I’m here to protest painted bellies and punny pregnancy costumes. Now…don’t get me wrong, if you’re into that and cannot wait for your own opportunity to paint your belly orange and wear a shirt that reads “pumpkin smuggler”, more power to you. But I’m here to ask, why do all the maternity Halloween costumes out…

  • This is the Nightmare Realm

    This is the Nightmare Realm

    As you may recall, back in August, we got to see Nancy Nightmare and the Wizard perform live. Well today, they have a special treat for those of us who cannot catch all their shows for the Halloween season! They released their first EP! If you were lucky enough to you may have caught their…

  • Halloweentime Earrings

    Halloweentime Earrings

    I love earrings. They’re always such an easy grab-and-go kind of accessory and they can be very simple or super elaborate. My Halloween earring collection is no joke and at this point, I have more pairs of Halloween earrings than there are days in October! In fact, I may actually have a Halloween addition problem.…

  • Jack-o’-Lanterns on the Halloween Tree

    Jack-o’-Lanterns on the Halloween Tree

    Our first part of my Halloween Tree are, naturally, the jack-o’-lanterns. In the story, the lanterns represent all the people living in the world and as they conclude their festivities for the Halloween evening, the light in their lantern on the Halloween tree goes out. On my Halloween tree, I’m bringing down that scale to…

  • Halloween Pet Bandanas

    Halloween Pet Bandanas

    Back before Midsummer Scream, I was on the hunt to make something that would be cute, yet also flattering to my then not-as-pregnant-but-still-pretty-pregnant body. I had looked for a project that would be easy to pull off with what fabric remnants I had, but of course everything I had was just a quarter-yard too short…

  • Creating a Tradition Inspired by the Halloween Tree

    Creating a Tradition Inspired by the Halloween Tree

    Two years ago, I finally dedicated myself to “conquering” Ray Bradbury’s “The Halloween Tree”. I adore Bradbury sci-fi works, but I had never committed time into reading this book. When I did, I was inspired. My vision and idea for Halloween and how it should be celebrated was changed. Of course last year, things panned…

    13 Super Scary Movies

    I hope, my dearest spiderlings, that you are ready to turn off the lights and snuggle up with a buddy who makes you feel safe because today we are talking about the films that have and still do scare, terrify, haunt and horrify me. I’m a big scaredy cat. It doesn’t take much to put…

  • An Eerie Tale to Share after Midnight

    An Eerie Tale to Share after Midnight

    It was trying to get in. But it needed permission. My permission. And I knew I shouldn’t give it, no matter what. If I acknowledged it was there, the results would not be pleasant. I could feel it in my stomach. The growing baby in my belly felt like it was trying to wiggle away…

    13 Spooky Music Videos

    I love Halloween music, but I really get in the spirit after watching some well-made spooky-themed music videos. The last few years I’ve shared what I found and this year, I couldn’t resist yet again to do the same. Ready to watch some super spooktacular videos? All you have to do is click the play…

  • Halloween Card Exchange 2017

    Halloween Card Exchange 2017

    If you know me, you know I am a lover of all things snail mail. There is nothing more satisfying than slapping a stamp on something and dropping it in the blue bin to hear the excitement from it’s receiver a few days later once it has arrived. This is certainly something I have always…

  • An Elvira Wig Styling How-To

    An Elvira Wig Styling How-To

    I forgot to mention in the video that I am following the tutorial shared by Bouffant Delacroix. Obviously, I did not follow them step by step (I could NOT get their “tacking” technique down at all. It was just total annoyance instead of assistance), but thanks to them, I got a rather kick-booty looking wig.…

  • Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze 2016

    Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze 2016

    I still can’t believe we ended up spending over six hours at the corn maze! We definitely made good use of our time, regardless. It was constant fun the whole time we were there. It was also Dell Osso’s 20th anniversary for their corn mazes so a very special event to be sure. 🙂 Naturally,…
