Joy time.

May your holiday be shiny & bright. ^_^

What the heck is "Thanksgiving Masking" you ask?

Before Halloween came into its own as a holiday in this country, there was "Thanksgiving Masking," where kids would dress up and go door to door for apples or maybe "scramble for pennies." ^_^

It's over.

Well Halloween is over and now we's got to be thinkin' about this...^_^

I spent two glorious days in Salem, MA this weekend. The weather was just perfect & the spirits were their usual selves! ^_^

Back with the orange & black...for now.

Another "Pizza Head Show" that cracked me up!

This is classic! Turn my music player off and watch this one! Jumpin' jack o' lanterns, I do love Pizza Head and his commercials! ^_^

the Pizza Head show: Goosebumps

Somethin' silly always makes Hilda's day!

This is a wacky lil' Halloween Pizza Hut commercial, The Pizza Head Show! I love Pizza Head's voice and I love the part where he enters the haunted castle and says, "Hello? Trick or Treat!" Ha! If you know me, you definitely know that this cooky lil' video would make me giggle with glee! It was silly and silly stuff makes me laugh out loud! (Be sure to turn the volume on my Halloween music player off so you can hear this nutty lil' commercial!) Enjoy! ^_^

Halloween art at its best.

I'm invited?

Yay for me! ^_^

What the?

This is just so ridiculous on so many levels. ^_^

The only tea party I'd ever attend.

^_^

Oooo, looky here.

You can even get her a "Pumpkin Fest" ensemble! How very festive. The outfit is rather cute and I like how everything is pictured just so. Okay, enough on the doll. I will move on. ^_^ http://www.dollsbyaltona.com/myweb9/TammyExhibit/my_tammy_exhibition.htm

Tammy - The Halloween Ouija Queen

Just tripped over this when I was browsing the mighty internet. Not really into dolls persay and I have never heard of a "Tammy" doll, but I thought this was kind of, I don't know...different. ^_^ http://www.dollsbyaltona.com/myweb9/TammyExhibit/my_tammy_exhibition.htm

35 words???

I wonder if this is possible. I guess I'll have to play to find out. ^_^

Here's something fun! A 1940's Halloween word game for kids & adults too! The caption reads, "To win this word game, you are required to spell 35 or more english words of two or more letters by using only the letters in "WITCHES"." Sounds challenging! Let me know if you succeed! ^_^

More artwork from my favorite Halloween artist.

I love Matthew Kirscht's work. I've stated this time and time again. I've posted some of his Halloween artwork before and will continue to do so whenever I stumble upon something new of his. He has a Halloween Art Book out that I think I need to purchase and have in my witchy claws! You can too... ^_^
