“Perhaps you’ve heard the old proverb that warns not to plant until after the ‘Three Ice Men’ have passed,” the Farmers’ Almanac article began. Um, no. That’s new to me. However, I’m also not much of a gardener. I may plant a few flowers or herbs in containers every year,Continue Reading

A vampire beauty pageant? By all accounts, that’s what the post of an old black-and-white photo of a man crowning a gothic-looking dark-haired woman portrayed. Back when I was still on what was known as Twitter, someone I followed posted it. He’s since deleted his account, or I’d share itContinue Reading
You might’ve heard of Movember, a movement that describes itself as “an annual event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men’s suicide.” But what about Gnomevember?

I don’t remember where I first saw an ad for Send A Cake, but I was instantly intrigued. Even more so after I sent one to a friend who said, “I wish I’d recorded that. I had no idea stuff was going to come flying out at me!” (They adviseContinue Reading
Have you spotted any teal pumpkins for sale anywhere? If you shop at CVS, you might have. Or maybe you’ve seen one in someone’s yard or on their porch and thought, “Oh, what an interesting color,” and wondered where they got it. Or maybe you thought it looked like anContinue Reading
Technically, The Mortuary Haunted Mansion wants couples (plural) to enter their Blood Wedding Ceremony contest. As they put it, the popular New Orleans haunted attraction is “a haunted house…in a real haunted house.” This year, their theme is “Blood Wedding,” but they’re also hosting an actual wedding—or not (we’ll getContinue Reading
Only 450 lucky souls will get to own copies of Spooky Sounds of the Morgue, the first vinyl record ever produced by Fright-Rags.
