I started this post before falling increasingly ill. May still be gone for a bit…I had SO much to share this Halloween…but it’ll just have to wait for now. Here’s what I had so far…
Rockabilly Bride of Frankenstein. Awesome!
I want this shirt:
Sweet…
No one will suspect a thing.
Amazing roundup of Halloween creatures here.
Two great cakes from Cake Wrecks.
And…not so great…
You go, little fella!
Fellow 80’s kids…remember these?
And lastly, the always hilarious AXE COP (featuring Nick Offerman)!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from SheWalksSoftly!

(Image by Byam Shaw)Recently I had a perfect evening for a spooky little introvert before Halloween: decorations in place and gently glowing a warm orange light, wind blowing the stunning spectrum of autumn leaves outside my window, and me nestled on the couch in comfy pajamas with a heated throw blanket, some seasonal treats and a purring sleepy kitty to cuddle.
Oh, and THIS playing…
How much, on a scale of one to PLAY IT NOW! PLAY IT NOW!, do you want to hear Peter Lorre’s sweet kitty talk amidst the sinister goings on of Poe’s classic tale? Amazing stuff.
The episode first aired September 18, 1947.

If you click on on this website, the title in the tab up top reads “The boring art of Matthew Reid”…a nice ironic touch since the work is undeniably fun and full of life (and death).
Kind of adorable…kind of quirky…a little bit deadly, with a splash of unpredictable whimsy…
A brand new one just making its debut:
The non-Halloween stuff is great as well. I cannot help but conjure stories in my imagination about these characters, so filled with twists and turns…

Some of these do have signature but I can’t quite make them out. Ideas on the origins of these pieces?
Love this so much…
Not exactly Halloween, but oh…to be the raven on the outside…

I’m not one for dressing animals up, Halloween or otherwise…but after seeing this, my darling Rowsdower and Ripley better beware if I can get my hands on a Sharpie and some boxes.
The source gets a hat tip from me for describing himself as a big, bearded & tattooed straight guy who doesn’t give a damn what others think about his love of cats.
In my opinion:
-
Stephanie Buscema’s necklaces are a wonderful little treat for the Halloween lovers out there who want to keep their accessories unique with a dash of sweetness.
My favorite:
These creations come from original paintings so the creatures you feature will not be seen on any mass produced jewelry.
Cute, festive, fun…
Not a Halloween design, but I love it anyway:

Last year in a discussion of Brach’s candy (sweetly nostalgic or disgusting?), under certain conditions, I agreed to re-sample the entire Brach’s collection to affirm or deny my extreme distaste for all-things-Brach’s. I believe I have since been released from this obligation, but I thought I’d dig up some vintage ads for your eyes to chew on…
Ugh, kid…why would you WANT to?
In my immediate candy sorting ritual upon arriving home from trick or treating, these were always put in the “unwanted crap I probably can’t even trade” pile.
But they’ve been around for ages, and I’d imagine some have a fondness for them based on nostalgia alone, despite the existence of far superior candies. I can respect that.
Or maybe…there are those who truly revel in the taste, like this happy gent below?
After all, they are goblin approved.
When I was a kid, every old lady I knew had a dish of Brach’s candy on her coffee table that sat untouched for years. Perhaps there’s a gene for buying and displaying these particular sweets that switches on around the age of 80.
How do you feel about Brach’s candy?

Pinterest inspired me to do a search for dancing skeleton shirts. I do believe my wardrobe should contain one to display my enthusiasm for the Halloween season (though I’d wear it all year).
Here are some I came across…
