Here’s a teaser for something I’m going to be doing throughout October as part of the Halloween Countdown 2010 – details will come this weekend.

This is Igor. He helped.

The little window garden just got a bit weirder. Yes, that’s a Venus Flytrap next to the mini-pumpkin plant. Now if I can just get Missus Savage to wear a black dress, feed it with a spoon and speak French…

Thank you, MP3.Amazon.com, but no, I did NOT mean “lord“…

“What’s the point of being cool if you can’t even wear a sombrero?”

Here we see the Kreepy Krawly font gracing a couple of groovy ghoulish products at the local grocery store (modelled by the lovely Missus Savage)…

Woke up, came downstairs, went into my office and this awesome t-shirt was hanging on the back of my chair. Thanks, honey bunny!

Running through my daily just-starting-up To Do list this time of year includes checking HauntedHouseChicago.com for pending haunted house submissions and haunted house reviews. It’s the first time I’ve checked reviews since last season (for obvious reasons) and there were 6 entries – 5 were spam, and one was from “John”, dated 3/25/2010. This is all it said:

The “John” in question is my good friend John La Flamboy (Zombie Army Productions). The best part, though, is that he *knew* I wouldn’t see it for months. So it started my day with a grin.

Miss Ripley models her new witchy hat at Target, where we just made our annual Halloween purchase. How much did we spend? Let’s just say I’m glad I sold a painting this week. It was a Halloween-themed painting, so I’m looking at it like an even trade.
