Thanks for dropping in. It's always good to see a fellow creepy ghoul around the net. Feel free to stop by again anytime.

Creeping Screams!

Cool site.

Sweet story! I too had a Halloween party when I was younger in my grandparents basement. My uncle got a bunch of dry ice to make fog on the floor--it was so cool, but slippery-whoopsie!

You are such a sweet person! And may I add: I LOVE Edmond's Carousel!!!!!!! Take care and talk to you again soon!

I love your website! I can't wait to get home from work and see what you're up to. The polymer clay pumpkins you made are sweet. Could you explaine how you made them ? I would like to make some myself. How to make Dinko Skull with polymer clay is a great sight. Check it out! Keep up the great work.

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I like your projects! I was looking for some Haunted House ideas ( as this is new in Belgium)... I really adore the little 'cute' pumpkins!

Have fun, and enjoy halloween 2009!

Nice site you have, Ghoul. :) I've just launched a new e-zine that is looking for submissions of dark short stories, poetry, and artwork from morbidly creative people. Your site seems filled with the type of people I am looking for. Please see the submission guidelines at http://www.thehorrorzine.com and I thank you. Jeani Rector, Editor, The Horror Zine

I love the fact that I am not alone in the excitment of Halloween...
My earlyest recolection of Halloween is my best friend and I sitting on either side of the stove chanting spells and stirring a big pot of hot liquid (dyeing the fabric for our first witch costume) at the age of about 5. Halloween is the creative release that starts as you are putting away the decorations from last year..... Tina

Hi Ghoul, I Love your site, It’s one of the best I came upon. I have to say Halloween is my favourite time of the year. Joy and excitement overcomes me every year when this season comes creeping around the corner. I have more Halloween decorations then X-mas. My friends and family think I’m totally crazy but I love every minute of it. I’m like a kid in a toy store.

I’ve always bought my props but they get so expensive…I love your projects and thinking I should take the time to learn how to make my own. You have a great talent. I to plan adult Halloween every year and I’m always looking around for something new to add.

Keep it up, it’s amazing!

I love your blog! Been checking it out for the past few months. Isn't this time of year the best! And I really love your H'ween music list, it's wonderful!! Nice to hear some different tunes. Thanks so much for posting a link to it.

I hope you have a fabulously scary Halloween!!

I haven't had much time lately, but wanted to make a point to come by this page and thank you folks for leaving me such lovely comments. I may not have responded right away, but I HAVE been reading them. And I do appreciate them.

It's comments like these - where like-minded spirits share their enthusiasm for Halloween and the projects and the site - that make it all worth it.

I hope you come back and visit often. And be sure to say hello on the blog now and then! Happy Halloween :)

LOVE your site, LOVE you short/simple/sweet bio. How awesome it is to have found you and your wonderous werks! ive NEVER thought of making a trip to the great north (though not that far, im in oregon) i want to plan a trip next year i think. LOVE this stuff.. .thanks for sharing!

Just wanna say that I really love your site and all the horrific pieces of art that you make:) Lovely little story from your childhood which I can quite relate too.. I've allways had a fascination for the dark side and Halloween:) I came over your site some time before Halloween this year and was delighted to be able to peek into your world of creative how too's on Halloween props and ghoulish posts:)

Can't wait for the next;)

You ain't right in the head! That's probably why I like you so much!

I just found your site and I really like some of the things you do and say on here. I would love to link you to my website. I have a start up foam latex mask company and I plan on branching out to props and accessories. I would love to see some of my masks in Canada. Take a look at my site and let me know if a link is possible. http://www.halloweenteam.com Either way you will see alot of me here.

Thanks

I found your website accidentally while pouring through research on the Lake Erie Monster and lake monsters in general. I've been a creator/producer of murder mystery events for the past 20 years (I was retired from it for a while to finish writing a book--but have been dragged, kicking and screaming, back into it).

In all that time I've worked with amazing people like Cedar Point and Ravenwood Castle, but I have NEVER seen anything with the pure joy, the simplicity of purpose, the wonderful sense of awe that your website possesses. You've done a marvelous, marvelous job! Serious and heartfelt congratulations and I intend to stop in here regularly and see what you're "cooking up."

Haven't poked my head in to peek at this page for a while. Thanks for the comments folks. And a special thanks to Denham whose praise had me looking at the floor, pink-cheeked, kicking the dirt, and saying "Aw shucks". What a lovely comment to leave.

I just blogged about you on my blog...

I think you are awesome!

Hi Ghoul Friday-
When traveling in Italy during June 2010, my sister and I walked along the same streets in Venice where others had walked during the great plague of 1348-1350. The Black Death, one of the deadliest pandemics in history, resulted in the death of approximately half of the European population. During the plague, "doctors" and other health providers of that time would walk through the streets to check on those afflicted with the infection. They would wear a special outfit that covered their faces and a beak-like nose that would contain spices or aromatics to purify the air and reduce the stench. Being particularly interested in infectious diseases and their impact, I looked for a replica of the Plague Doctor during our two-week vacation and was never able to find one. My sister contacted you and purchased one of your creations and I have to tell you that it is perfect! I have it displayed in my office and it is already a source of conversation. Thanks for your great work. I hope my note inspires others to take notice of your art.

I just wanted to say that I love your site and after seeing your plants I just had to make one....
Thank you for showing everyone how to do it,even though mine dont look the same as yours I thought it was a lot of fun making it.I am so happy to see other people enjoying Halloween as much as I do,its my birthday so how can I not enjoy it..hihi.I am giving the eye plant a go this weekend. Cant wait :o)

I love all your wonderful creations! Thank you for being so quick shipping Skelecrow out to me! I love him! Thanks also for blogging so we can see what you are working on. I hope you have lots of fun at the upcoming shows and this Halloween season!
