I'm all for a light good-natured speak in fear come Halloween, but I would not want to live in a house that gave me the creeps all the time for one tiny second. That has (if you believe what's reported about it) Amityville Haunting written all over it!<br /><br />My Halloween decor tastes are in the same vein and I usually gravitate towards the cute or kitschy side of things, not the blood bath/zombie uprising/slasher movie zone. <br /><br />Big hugs & tons of happy Halloween wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37454759599979638942014-10-27T10:24:46.240-07:002014-10-27T10:24:46.240-07:00Lovely photo collection, dear.

In Denmark you can buy the really scary lifelike hands and feet with bones sticking out and blood. Ough, that's not for me. I'm all in for pumpkins, bats, ghost, witches and skulls. I like it cosy and elegant. But I could never live in a haunted house. In fact we chose our house because I didn't feel anything, and that's a good thing. I only feel positive vibrations in our old house. I have experienced some strange things at my parents' house and I really don't like it.SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-32024086933975046272014-10-24T15:50:18.277-07:002014-10-24T15:50:18.277-07:00This is such a beautifully written post, your love...This is such a beautifully written post, your love for this season shines through.

I wish the reality here in the UK was as charming as your description - we've had a lot of rain which does dampen the spirits somewhat. The leaves go all soggy and cause delays on the train tracks, rather than being nature's confetti to kick your way through holding hands! Ah well. We do have Guy Fawkes Night here in the UK too on 5th November (remember, remember...) and I do love a few sparklers whilst watching the fireworks and taking a sneaky swig of hot toddy out of a flask!<br /><br />P xPorcelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202283149145094340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-72159967999015224772014-10-24T03:37:10.679-07:002014-10-24T03:37:10.679-07:00I love that Dracula poster its my favorite Hallowe...I love that Dracula poster its my favorite Halloween film<br /><br />retro rovertubby3pughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315017048832512111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-15370406041858255222014-10-24T03:02:57.967-07:002014-10-24T03:02:57.967-07:00Thank you very much, sweet dear.

We're a mere week away at this point and that matter is still one epic question mark in my mind. Between our recent travels, the flu, and just being so busy in general this year with the shop and my blog, I simply can't seem to hit upon a costume idea I truly love. *Sigh!* I must and will through before All Hallows Eve rolls around, but it will be cutting pretty darn close to the wire this year for sure!<br /><br />I hope you're able to find a costume you love in time as well, my lovely friend.<br /><br />Big hugs & happy Halloween countdown wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-39920797112811705632014-10-23T18:44:57.898-07:002014-10-23T18:44:57.898-07:00Love these old posters but I'm not a Halloween...Love these old posters but I'm not a Halloween person. I guess when you grow up in Europe it;s not something we do. We see it on TV and smile. Another crazy thing people celebrate in the US. It swaps over to us in Australia now, but it;s not that huge- but if you look in the supermarkets it looks like in the US-LOL<br />Love the Dracula- such a classic! <br />http://balearaitzart.blogspot.com.au/lorenabrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009592304039415243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-70629358610419772012014-10-23T18:29:15.894-07:002014-10-23T18:29:15.894-07:00What a great compilation of autumn/Halloween image...What a great compilation of autumn/Halloween images. I must admit the Redbook one has naughty thoughts swimming in the back of my brain. I've been so preoccupied lately I hadn't even noticed that the numbers on the calendar are getting bigger and bigger. The big day is sneaking up on me with great stealth. I must get cracking and figure out what I will be.

I think you're right that one of the things that makes the season so much fun is how short it is. If you can have something any time, it's not that special. It's sort of like Girl Scout Cookies, or mint shakes from McDonald's.
