The Blood is the Life — A Recipe

“I never knew what life was until it ran out in a red gush over my lips, and hands!” – Anne Rice Over the years – okay, about every other month – I get the opportunity to make fake blood for various reasons. Running a Zombie Walk requires, literally, gallons. But did you know that

Through the Eyes of a Haunted House Actor

A step through the doors takes you between the barrier of the bright sunshine and the chilly, cool warehouse. Dust floats about you like little ghosts whispering your name. You proceed into the darkness, pushing aside a black drape and seeing the line of people waiting to be cast. You get through casting easily enough.

What surprised me, is all the fun Halloween and horror themed ideas. For example, the zombie mugs: Here are a few others

Halloween and Horror Drawings: Part II

I scavenged through some more of my childhood drawings and scanned them onto my computer. Certainly not meant to be graphically impressive, this is more about sharing some nostalgic childhood mementos.

A Dusk Till Dawn Halloween

Just got done listening to this Halloween mix. Very eclectic in a good way. As the name would suggest, there is indeed a very strong From Dusk Till Dawn tone to it. Styles and influences consist of Quentin Tarantino, Spanish, jazz, rockabilly, oldies, and retro Halloween songs to name a few. All and all, a

Halloween Horror Nights

Combining two of my most favorite things on earth, Halloween and Universal Studios, comes: Halloween Horror Nights. Just about the only reason I’d want to live in California. Otherwise it’s too hot and the people… I’ve been wanting to go for years. It’s no surprise that a movie studio and theme park are going to

Winner “Lawn Ornaments” was the costume that won this year. Congrats! This is Halloween Love’s inaugural Halloween costume contest. It wasn’t as big of a turnout as I had hoped, but fun nevertheless. It was a bit bumpy and there were some learning curves that I’ll keep in mind for next year. I’ll keep the
