Halloween Party Mix

I've just completed a Halloween mix for my party, the Spookshow Bash, and I though I'd share it with all of you. To listen, just click here, then hit "play all", downscale the page, and let it play in the background! Let me know what you think!

An Early Christmas Gift to my Followers

Inspired by Pumpkinrot's "Rot Radio" blog segments, I have created by own bit spooky musical playlist on YouTube. I used the music from Nox Arcana's "Winter's Knight" CD. I created this for guys so you'd have something different to listen to this year. Hopefully, you'll snatch this CD up quickly for your personal collection. Remember, this playlist is meant to be listend to, not watched. I'd like to thank Pumpkinrot himself for pointing me in the right direction with this playlist. And so, without further a do, here's the link (click on the first video, "Nox Arcana - Vigil", to start):

Dark Christmas Radio

Yes, I know...

I've had a bunch of different haunt and party ideas this year. And It wasn't very fun. I mean, thinking about the different themes was fun, but towards the end I started feeling confused and uncertain about the haunt this year. But Halloween is only 99 days away and I decided to buckle down and decide on my Halloween plans. So here is the final, absolute, super-duper plan of the HalloweeNut (I promise):

Party:
This is my first Halloween party. I mean, EVER. So, I'm gonna keep it simple - no theme, Pizza, chips 'n' dip, music, scary movie. I figure I kinda have to show a scary movie that most people probably won't have seen, but still ties into the season. So I'm gonna show one of my all time favorites: TRICK 'R TREAT! The music will be a mix of Scary Rock/Metal (Rob Zombie, Creature Feature, Powerman 5000) and dark ambient (Midnight Syndicate, Nox Arcana). I've got all kinds of cool of ideas for decorations, and my costume will be the same costume for my haunt. Which leads me to announce the actual theme of my haunt this year....

Haunt:
Well, I've truly come full circle with this year's theme. I've gone from carnival to taking a year off, and I decided to buckle my @$$ down and choose a theme, and start building! So I'm going to go with original theme - Troupe Macabre Haunted Sideshow. I'm changing it from a "carnival" theme to a "sideshow" theme. The front porch will be transformed into a Freak Museum, and the front sidewalk will be the "Midway". Once again, plenty of cool ideas, but there's a lot hard work ahead. But I'll try to take some time to blog. I've got tons of cool circus/sideshow stuff to show you all. But that will have to wait; I've got props to build. Stay Scary!
