Haunted Design House

Just a little quickie today, from Ike . This project includes a sexy wolfman from Ike's World , a mad scientist image from Smeared Ink , and a screamin' zombie from Rick St. Dennis . The archway is a Tando Creative product, with really cool brickwork added to it. Thanks for dropping by!  Feel free to leave a comment and share what you think is going on in that archway. Imagine it to be a movie poster for some old throwback B horror film of the 60's. Or even a newer, "yet to be a genre" type of foreign film.  Best idea gets a prize. I'm not sayin' what kind of prize,  but it will probably have something to do with  Hallowe'en. EDIT: Contest has closed. Winner will be announced shortly.   Keep it creepy!

It's my turn to post a little something to help keep you in the Hallowe'en spirit on the run up to the best festival of the year. I'd like to make sure you have been introduced to another of our Minions - our shrinking violet Teri (THE Temptress of Terror) and to some of her fabulous images. Teri does have a shop, Delicious Doodles . It'll be worth your while taking a wander down the aisles. All the images that I bring you today have been lovingly drawn by our Talented lady. What does this fabulous little box contain? A glorious array of tombstones Full deets can be found on Teri's World . The next project was made by me ...

Sorry for the repeat, if anyone already saw this card on my  personal blog . Just wanted to share with the Countdown. I colored Nutmeg (from Dilly Beans ) in Halloween colors, and she is a perfect representation of me, anxiously awaiting the return of The Walking Dead .  (Non-blurry version) Rest in Pieces!!!

So far, so good. We're chuggin' right along now. Autumn is upon us, and a chill is in the air. The leaves are turning, and the smell of pumpkin candles are permeating the funk of summer. Well, in my house anyway. I am an Autumn People!!! I have been busy getting my Etsy shop stocked with unique, and affordable Hallowe'en themed goodies to bring the joy of the season to you. Even though I set out to create items to sell, sometimes I fall in love with a  particular piece, and it never sees the shop. Here is my latest love affair. This creepy abode started out as a "paint it yourself" wooden house that my son slathered paint on when he was about three years old. I hung onto for sentimental reasons, mainly because I didn't want to hurt his feelings, and because I am a hoarder of  pretty much, everything .  I sanded it, then painted it out in gesso, and added different texture mediums. These steps killed two birds with one...

October first is finally here! The anticipation was killing us, but now the pressure to  perform is on high. Welcome to the Countdown to Hallowe'en 2013!! We are honored to be among the 192 fellow Hallowe'en revelers  participating in this month long blog hop! If you'd like to see the entire list of participants, it can be found here . Let me introduce myself. My name is Creepy Glowbugg, and I am the head Minion in charge here in the Haunted Design House. Which basically means, if things go awry, I get blamed, and (if I'm lucky) flogged.  My fellow Minions and I, run a Hallowe'en themed crafters challenge blog that is open all year long. We eat, sleep, and bleed, Hallowe'en. We also accept the Gothics, the Steampunks, and dark of heart as well. We like to celebrate the alternative crafter. No mainstream pablum for us! Every other week, we issue a challenge prompt with a specifically dark theme. Then it is up to our follower...
