Welcome to the 13 Days of Halloween

It’s time for another bit of random fun. If you’ve checked out my About This Blog page, you know a bit about my annual Halloween party. This party started out in my garage which I would transform into a haunted wonderland. The past few years, however, I have commandeered the BBF’s house and made them my more than willing cohorts. Every room has its own theme: living room is the witches coven, bathroom is the bloodbath, dining room–vampire lair, kitchen–mad scientist’s lab. The party always has a strict “must wear a costume to enter” policy. Beware: If you try to attend without wearing a costume we’ve been known to accost you and paint your face, dishevel your hair and add accessories until we feel you are party-worthy. We also prepare Halloween food for your fright and delight. Many of the recipes I share with you are served at our shin-digs. So, this post is a maniacal montage of Halloween’s past. An homage to all of my friends who love Halloween just as much as I do. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,
All are on their rounds tonight;
In the wan moon’s silver ray,
Thrives their helter-skelter play.
~Joel Benton

Halloween is huge in my house and

we really get into the “spirits” of things.

Hold on, man. We don’t go anywhere with “scary,” “spooky,” “haunted,” or “forbidden” in the title. ~From Scooby-Doo

Well, Shaggy and Scooby may not go there, but my friends and I sure do! Stay tuned for more party photo fun.

Until next time . . .

Happy Haunting
