One more coffin picture.

The facade again, this time with some fog.

Giant Spider 2.0…resurrected from last year, this time with an extra bend in the legs.

Hillbilly zombie ready to scare the Trick or Treaters.

This is a view from the front porch of the shack through to the coffin room.

These are just me playing with the camera and the two strobes in the coffin room.

Bloodbath Bayou was a great success this year. The bayou shack held up great through both the Friday the 13th party and Halloween night. This year we had 30 visitors, which is huge compared to the five or so that we normally get.

Anyway, on to the pics!

This is the facade on that fateful night.

Here is the skeleton that sat in a tree and greeted our victims.

These hanging skulls were a last minute addition, and quite effective I think.

Yap, as of Saturday, I have a moustache. One week with this bad boy, just gotta keep it until the last Halloween party on November 4th. Maybe by then I’ll be attached and just decide to keep it. Hehe…

If any of you ladies are still stumped as to what to be for Halloween, I think I have found your solution. Dimout.com, besides being a great online source for lingerie of all sorts, also has a plethora of those great ladies’ Halloween costumes that we all know and love.

If you are looking for that perfect combination of naughty and evil, check out the sexy witch costume. If you’re just going for the sexy, give the prep school girl costume a try. You’ve got to love the plaid skirt. If you want to mix a bit of patriotism into this Halloween, go for the erotic navy office costume. There are plenty more costumes there too, just check out the site.

Although all of the above are all well and good, my personal vote is that you go to whatever Halloween party that you’re going to as the same thing that I did last year:

Yup, that’s right. I did.

All I can say is that this is the best $3.99 I have ever spent at Target…pet Halloween costumes. How awesome. And look how hapy Nala is about it. ;^)

Last night my friends and I had a wine and cheese and horror movie party. We had dinner, had some drinks, and watched some horror movies.

The first movie we watched was “The Omen,” the one that came out on 06/06/06. It pretty much follows the story of the first one, only takes place in 2006 intead of the mid-70’s, which would make sense since it’s a “remake.”

One of the reasons that I am such a horror fan is that it takes me away from reality, and allows me to forget everything in a freaky strange world where people have problems much bigger than mine (beacuse being tied up in famly drama bullshit is much less disconcerting when you compare it with being the parents of a little Satan). I was a bit bothered, and was momentarily prevented from going to my…uhhh…happy place(?) beacause of the filmmakers’ decision to use footage from the WTC collapse, the Columbia disaster, and the Thailand tidal wave to set the foundation for Damien’s coming. It seemed a bit out of place and awkward to me, plus the constant profiteering from these disaters makes me sick, although that’s a topic for another post.

Unfortunately, as creepy and suspenseful as the first Omen was, this one failed to capture the feeling and suspense of the original. I have slowly come to the conclusion that the horror of the ’70’s is unbeatable when it comes to overall feeling, mainly because of the low budget nature of the effects and that ’70’s film quality that just seems so homemade and freaky.

The Omen was not bad, but just didn’t capture the magic of the first. The bottom line is if you really want to check out The Omen, rent the first one.

If you’re sick of the current useless administration, why not start pushing for The Zombie Presidents in ‘08? Just in time for Halloween, WickedCoolStuff has come out with their line of Zombie Presidents T-shirts, including zombie characatures of Nixon, Kennedy, Lincoln, and Reagan. As much as I would hate to see Zombie Tricky Dicky come back, I have a feeling that he might do a hell of a lot better than that one guy in office right now.

As always, CouponChief.com has come up with some great coupon code to save you money. Because Halloween is coming up, my favorite coupons this week are coupons from Extreme Halloween for 10% off an order of $75 or more, and one for free shipping on orders of $100 or more.

Hopefully this will help you make those last minute preparations for my favorite holiday.

If the fall season has made its way into your veins and you’re in the modd for a good ghost story, I have a good one for you. A few years back, I came across a “haunted Jewish wine box” or “dibbuk box” for sale on eBay. In the listing was an amazing and terrifying story of paranormal activity surrounding this wooden box.

I had not thought about the box for a few years, but upon visiting Ghost House Pictures’ website on Sunday and seeing that they are developing a move based upon the story, I started looking into the box again.

It turns out that the box has been sold a second time, and that the new owner is heavily investigating the box and its history. If you would like to read more about this box, including the text of the original eBay listing, check out dibbukbox.com.
