You know you're a haunter if...

...in October, you clean your garage more than your house;

your house & yard becomes a visual speed bump;

you make more trips to the hardware store than the grocery store;

you have to schedule a media night;

children walk by and say WTF...



...your neighbors complain that THEY have to buy more candy because of YOU;

you have more skulls in your garage than friends on FB;

you actually consider how your home improvements will affect your haunt;

you can think of something to add to this list...



...you need to fill out a vacation request for the day AFTER Halloween;

you stop doing yard work in August;

you provide an additional 60 amp power supply to your electrical service;

your countdown to Halloween starts in July;

you think your countdown SHOULD have started in May.

Wire Sculpture

By amazing artist Derek Kinzett...






As haunters or sculptors, I'm sure we ALL wish we were this good with chicken wire.

Inspired by 'Ghoul Friday'...

Newly completed Eyeball Plants.

When I first saw Ghoul's plants they immediately reminded me of the patch of mossy living eyeballs on the wall in a scene from one of my all-time favorite movies, 'Labyrinth'. I absolutely had to give it a try! Thank you Ghoul!

Dark Art - Wikipedia...

'Primarily a product of the 20th Century, dark art is an art style defined as that being "dark" or unsettling in nature. Called and classified under many names such as gothic, horror, metaphysical, nightmarish, and disturbing, it is actually a culmination of techniques and styles. It has been presented in many forms by many artists, illustrators and film-makers. It continues to grow in popularity as a part of the horror genre and gothic, music and publishing culture...'
