Okay, macabre fans... your challenge this week:
HDH150
"Oh My Gourd!!!"

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
that utilizes, mimics, infers, or is otherwise obviously
gourd or pumpkin inspired.

We have a wonderfully creative and timely sponsor this week!!
Funworld's Floating Pumpkin Hangers
These are called Floating Pumpkin Hanger kits.
Very cool concept and pretty simple to put together.
These look awesome in a grouping and the website has lots of
photos and design ideas. They are available through Spirit,
Amazon, and possibly other online retailers. A simple Google search
should help you locate them in your area. They even have a Face Book page.


Some of the DT live in other parts of the world, and pumpkins aren't
quite in season. So some of us had to improvise, while others shied away from
the literal interpretation completely.

Lady Brayton:
Yes, that is a  real pumpkin. And yes, there is a floating kit attached,
but unfortunately, it didn't show up as well as that awesome carving!!!
That is one hard act to follow.




Creepy Cricut Cween Donna:
that friggin' floating pumpkin hanger
So elegant and gourd-geous! So thankful for the faux pumpkins!!
Such a beautiful decoration to last for years. Plus, it also shows that
the metal wire can be camouflaged and made nearly invisible.
Yay tulle!!



Sultana of the Sinister Lynx:
PUMPKIN BOOK #1

It is so good to have Lynx playing in the dungeon with us again!
We all missed her terribly, and are thrilled to welcome her back!
Fabulous little Vintage themed ATC book!
A pumpkin on every page!! Perfect!  



Temptress of Terror Teri:
Halloweenie-PumpkinheadWM
Teri is releasing a new line of digis called, "Halloweenies".
Check out her newest image, "Pumpkinhead"! So cute!!
Drop by Delicious Doodles to see the rest of the designs and more!!




Imp of Insanity Ike:
IKE-HDH149 PUMPKIN
Since Ike lives in Greece, so she improvised.


Carved Aubergines anyone?
Fabulously gourd-geous in their own way!!!

The Contagion of Corrosion Croms:
That is one hell of an up cycled paper bag!!
Oh my gourdy, that's wonderful!!  



Check back on Wednesday for Creepy Glowbugg's (and possibly some
other MIA Minions) creation(s) and the Gruesome Twosome 
from last week's Bare Bones challenge.

I can't believe I'm 1st to link up a project, I don't think I've ever been able to do that. Love all the Minions projects. It's a little early for pumpkins and gourds in AZ but soon and we already know what our house is cutting out (it will be a surprise come Halloween)!

The Evil Returns

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.

It's a Love/hate thing and the Gruesome twosomes

Here some more LOVE/HATE  inspiration from the Minions, they were allowed off their chains just long enough to create you some creepy projects.  You all know we Minions are allergic to cute, pink and fluffy so please don't enter traditional Valentines stuff in the Love/Hate challenge, just make it bloody, scary, gothic, creepy, twisted and dark. Trust me you don't want to risk being haunted by the Minions for entering traditional "nice"Valentine projects.......let's keep things creepy OK? This was what the Minions came up with this time.... Creepy Glowbugg decided it was time to change this little Cupid into something amazingly devlish   this is much better if you ask me ......  Temptress of Terror Teri created an awesome digital piece,......or should I say Dish...... think this picture made you all hungry...it did make the Minions drool. Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Mo altered a plastic frame and a broken heart of glass into

May we have a quick word?

It's time for a new Monthly Macabre challenge here at the Haunted Design House! Please remember, this challenge is for your darker, gothic, macabre pieces, NOT your sweet and clean and suitable-for-your-pastor's-mother pieces. We understand that in a world of diversity and depth, there has to be some cute, sweet stuff out there, but we simply don't want to see it here. The Minions, despite all appearances to the contrary, are delicate creatures, and insipidly clean and sweet creations turn our perverted little stomachs. So, with that said, our challenge for May is  May we have a quick word?   This month we'd like you to either use some text somewhere on your creation OR make it a quick make - less than a day from start to finish. The Minions' two favourite creations will get to display the May Macabre Masterpiece badge, and at the end of the year the person with the most badges will receive a glorious prize from the Minions. And, each month, the ba
