The Haunting ('63) Even Scarier

So it was Halloween. Figured I'd set the mood with a classic: The Haunting. It's freaked me out many times before.

But this time. it wasn't the ghosts that scared the crap out of me. The main character Nell says she sleeps on her left side because it wears her heart out faster.

What?! Is this true? Why didn't I know this BEFORE we picked sides of bed?

You know how hard it is to switch which side you sleep on (bed or body)?

I couldn't even lay on the couch without thinking I'm slowly killing myself. I was going to have to sleep head-to-toe.

Well that is until I googled it and found that there really was no proven correlation. Crisis averted.

Did I Ever Tell You of the Time

I swam in shark infested waters?

You look at these pictures and think,

"Who would be crazy/dumb enough to get in the water here?"

Well, this guy would.

And I'd do it again.

Again with the Facebook!

Don't be fooled.

If you see a Facebook account claiming to be me.

It is NOT me.

My Favorite Song This Minute

I keep singing it around the house.

(Well I keep singing the first two lines over and over again.)

January 12th seems so far away.

Halloween Trick Or Treat

When people came up to the door they could see our Deathbed Skeleton set up inside the house.

We had the place pretty dark with candlelight.

I hid in the shadows while Beth handed out the candy.

You can't see me.

But if I tweak the photo.

There I am hiding in a black cloak.

I was impressed how invisible I became.

Halloween Graveyard

Here's a closer look at the graveyard we put together.

Most graves had some kind of skull head in front of it.

This piece is our favorite.

Ever since we saw it in SkyMall we knew we needed this guy for our Halloween decor.

I also created a "Pepper's Ghost" effect.

I learned about it in a book called How to Haunt Your House.

I did this by reflecting a cardboard cut out that I made from pictures I found online

onto a piece of plexiglass.

And we also had a few scattered ghouls hanging as well.

Happy Halloween: Pumpkins

Halloween was great.

I carved two more pumpkins today.

I took this one from the cover of the Mutter Museum book.

And then my proudest pumpkin to date: Bat Boy
