A few years later, armed with my Dick Smith Do It Yourself Make Up Book, I would get myself up as a vampire or mummy and transform my back yard into a haunted attraction- all by myself. I'd construct a cardboard coffin and fill it with a a homemade dead body. Add a few skulls and tiki torches, and Disney's Thrilling Sounds of a Haunted House playing in the background, I would scare the wits out of the neighborhood kids. They got their reward for braving my chamber of horrors!

This year I'll be working on Halloween. I'm not complaining. I'm thankful to have a job. But, I'll miss celebrating my favorite holiday. The only day we honor our dark side, our wild, primitive nature.

as I said on facebook....well said. seems to me you worked most Halloweens....sometimes 48 hours at a time;)

A little late on this, but for fans of sugary carbs, General Mills has re-released all five of its famous Monster Cereals for the season. Time to load up!

Frute Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy are returning to store shelves this fall. They’ll join our three other signature Monster Cereals – Franken Berry, Boo Berry and Count Chocula – for the first time, in our annual seasonal, limited time run of the cereals to celebrate Halloween.

Frute Brute was discontinued in 1982, after an eight-year run. It is considered by many collectors to be the most sought-after vintage cereal box. (Likely because it was used by movie director Quentin Tarantino in both “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction.”)

Fruity Yummy Mummy left shelves in 1992, after just five years.

It's always great to know & watch in the movies how you guys used to or like to spent this very special day of "Horror"! That's one of the fantastic things about Halloween...a truly unique way to rejoice our all of those known & unknown favorite 'fears' & have fun with friends, family & your neighbors. I really miss this thing here, as it's not a part of our cultural traditions :(

Yah, we're crazy here, so we need a day to let it out.

Ok I hope this is ok to post but I need ya'lls help. I'm going as a skeleton for Halloween and I'm trying to do a pretty decent skeleton make up but all I have right now is the cheap Halloween grease paint. My face and grease paint do not get along at all, it makes my pores feel like their being murdered with acid and the smell gives me migraines. I need to know what you guys think would be the best make up to use to achieve this look. I don't ever wear make up so I'm totally lost as to what I need.

This is how it turned out with the grease paint and a liquid eyeliner pen.



The teeth are kinda messed up but I didn't want liquid eyeliner or face paint all over my lips.

If anyone can help me I would much appreciate it.

And on this Halloween, my little special tribute goes for one of our favorite & fascinating Horror movie villains of all time...Frederick Charles Krueger aka Freddy Krueger!

The thing is after watching the documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy lately, I was just checking out some Fred Krueger tribute videos online and there are some awesome videos on youtube too but surprisingly none of those tribute/homage/montage videos (as far I've seen so far) have used this 90's beautiful MSG classic Nightmare as on their background music.

After a long time, rediscovering this song lately, I just thought MSG's Nightmare deserve a Freddy Krueger homage treatment! And, so here it is....hope HDC will like it :)

I love the video better than most of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies!
