“What does a vampire smell like?” Nosferatu, a new vampire perfume from Heretic Parfum, gives us a whiff. The short answer is: “cold, pale and pellucid, the fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition.” But there’s more to it than that, including why the fragrance was developed toContinue Reading
“Who’s this from?” I wondered when I opened the small package and discovered an Adopt A Ghost inside. It was a logical question since I hadn’t ordered it, and it didn’t include a gift message. However, it also made me wonder something else. “Do they sell this version on AmazonContinue Reading
Even before I learned about the Teal Pumpkin Project, which aims to make Halloween more inclusive for kids with food allergies, I liked to hand out non-candy treats. Partly because I have friends whose kids can’t eat certain foods. I vowed never again to see the look of disappointment thatContinue Reading
Alaina Urquhart, an autopsy technician, and Ash Kelley, a hairstylist, host the popular podcast Morbid, where they dissect true crime, creepy history, and all things spooky. They refer to their listeners as “weirdos” and open each episode with “Hey Weirdos.” Naturally, Spencer’s makes an obvious choice for their Morbid Collection.Continue Reading
“What’s your problem?” The woman sitting across from me didn’t ask it out loud, but that’s exactly what the look she gave me conveyed. “Sorry,” I said sheepishly, hoping she’d forgive my squeak of excitement. I mean, I understood. I was in a doctor’s office, after all. Whether you’re illContinue Reading
Visiting the Stanley is a bucket list travel destination for many macabre-minded restless spirits. For good reason. The hotel leans into its claim to fame as the inspiration for Stephen King’s The Shining, offering ghost tours and inviting guests to stay in one of its haunted rooms. But what ifContinue Reading
Would you rather be bewitched or do the bewitching? A little of both may happen if you visit Westfield, New Jersey’s popular October celebration, AddamsFest. I don’t remember if they had themes in years past, but they do this year: Be Witched. They’re also bringing back past favorite activities, including:Continue Reading
I wouldn’t consider myself a full-blown set-jetter. More of an occasional one. But I have been known to curate trips that include visiting places where movies (horror or otherwise) were filmed. One place I’m curious to check out but haven’t made it to yet is Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, the real-life BoyContinue Reading
Ghosts on Canvas wall art. Gothic cat trees with coffin beds. A NOLA Crypt Horror Ornament. These are just a few of my favorite creepy things in the Skareporium that are included in the Prime Day 2024 deals. And I’m not just impressed because they’re on sale. I’m amazed thatContinue Reading
“What in the world is an Aztec Death Whistle?” I wondered when I saw the skeleton/skull-like face that sported a spiky, feather design on top of its head. My perplexion continued when I read more of its description, which included the words “loud” and “screaming.” The “loud” made sense, butContinue Reading
“Will Sci-Fi World really open this time?” That’s what I wondered when I wrote about the museum’s announcement that it was finally set to open on May 27, 2024. As I explained in that post, “It’s a valid question since this wouldn’t be the first time they announced an opening date.”Continue Reading
The “fun or frightening?” part of the title about Olympic mascots reeled me in. However, one sentence in particular sent me down the research rabbit hole. “Over the decades, the world has welcomed snowmen, sasquatches, cowboy-hat-wearing bears and aliens to the Olympic stage,” the CNN article reported. “Wait.
