If you’ve been following the Haunt Jaunts Spooktacular Halloween Blog Party festivities from the beginning, you know that early on (like right at the start) there was a big hiccup: my computer crashed. What I didn’t share was some of the events directly preceeding the crash. I’m going to share them nowContinue Reading
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

I never should’ve written a “Top 5 Hilarious Halloween Costumes for 2010” post so early in the season. While the ones I initially picked as Top 5 were funny, I’ve been looking at a lot of costumes ever since. I’ve now found 15 even more hilarious Halloween costumes. Like the initialContinue 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.
