A couple of Sundays back I was watching Mad Men and learned an interesting tidbit: The Zombie Cocktail was first popularized at the 1939 World’s Fair. Huh, I didn’t even know there was such a drink as a zombie cocktail! (I’m not a big drinker, though, so that’s not too surprising.Continue Reading
We’ve got a winner in the Exercise Your Demons contest and that person’s name is…Revealed in the video! Along with which way the racket fell. Thanks to all who entered. I hope you had as much fun playing as I did. Continue Reading
We have a winner in the Frog on the Pumpkin giveaway! Congrats to the lucky person who won the flat garden skull and set of Davis Graveyard prints. (Yep, I’m playing tricks again. You want to know who won, you gotta watch the vid. I don’t make them for my healthContinue Reading
The next stop on the Party Express is to a very good friend of mine’s blog, Chris Verstraete’s Candid Canine. Let me give you a little background on Chris… We met online 10 years ago. We were both members of a Yahoo Group called Short Mystery Fiction Society. ChrisContinue Reading

I thought I’d do something a little different again for Movie Monday: list the horror movies I’m watching this Halloween season. It was inspired by last week’s Movie Monday Party Express stop to Nate’s Peer Review and his Part 1 review of Halloween film classics, as well as by some ofContinue Reading
I first learned of Frog on the Pumpkin via the prolific Autumnforest of Ghost Hunting Theories back when I first started up Haunt Jaunts. FotP instantly appealed to me. Why? For one, I’ve always wanted to do what Chris Davis (better known to many as the Frog Queen) and her husband do withContinue Reading
As I’ve alluded to before, most recently in my post about the best haunted house attractions, masks freak me out.
