Last year we listed Valentine’s Day haunted houses, which proved pretty popular actually. (Hits-wise. It’s the special post that gets any comments.) Anyway, we thought: “Why not do it again this year?” We meant to have it pulled together before now, but…well, “better late than never” seems to be ourContinue Reading
If you follow HJ on social media, you’re well aware that last weekend I attended HAuNTcon and walked away with some new friends…and swag. So guess what that means? (If your answer isn’t “giveaway,” we’ve got problems…) The first people I met was in the registration line the first day.Continue Reading
My posts about HAuNTcon’s Haunts and Haunted Places Bus Tour and their Costume Ball and Haunted Houses were the result of Leonard Pickel, HAuNTcon’s owner and event coordinator, asking if I’d be attending. (Since it is happening right in my own backyard this year. And, yes, I’m going.) But hisContinue Reading
I wrote about HAuNTcon 2017’s 2-Day Inspiration Pre-Show Tour, but that’s not the only cool thing that has me excited about attending my very first HAuNTcon event. There is a lot happening during this five-day convention. But the activities aren’t limited to just the day. There’s plenty of fun toContinue Reading
The New Year has begun and that means I’m updating some of the lists around here, like the Ghost Hunting & Etc. Events, Paracons & Horror Fests, and Calendar of Odd Dates pages. The last of which would would be incomplete without including 2017’s Friday the 13th appearances, right? ButContinue Reading

Yesterday I was doing some Christmas (and personal) shopping at Lakeside Collection, when one of their sidebar articles caught my eye: Unique Christmas Traditions from Around the World. Presents under the tree and milk and cookies for Santa — it’s what Americans do every year in anticipation of Christmas. AroundContinue Reading

Of all the industries in the world, the Halloween industry is without a doubt one of the fastest growing. This has especially been theContinue Reading
Got a press release about Denver’s most horrifying haunts, the 13th Floor and The Asylum. Hard to believe but 2016 marks their 15th year! I meant to post all this back at the start of the haunted house season but…I didn’t. One distraction led to another and another and, well…youContinue Reading

Happy Halloween season! Besides our monthly Caption This Contests, we haven’t done many contests or giveaways lately. And we haven’t thrown a good-old fashioned online Halloween party around here in a loooong time. Halloween 2016 is the year we’re going to change that! Collecting Goodies We’ve been thinking about thisContinue Reading
Every year before this one, I always wished everyone a Happy Memorial Day. Because that’s what you say, right? I would’ve been excited about the three day weekend and the unofficial start of summer. Praying for nice weather for the official opening of the pool. Probably trying to decide whichContinue Reading
