Well, although temperatures in California have been extremely high - 100 degrees high, I couldn’t resist from making the first Halloween purchase of the year. Then displaying it in all of its glory. The first of many and hopefully cooler temperatures are on the way!

To this day, What Lies Beneath is one of my favorite ghost thrillers. A beautiful lakefront home in Vermont sets the atmosphere while Alan Silvestri delivers a spectacular and haunting musical score. Click the poster below to listen.

I decided to jump on the band wagon that is known as Pinterest recently and must say, it’s pretty awesome. Being able to collect photos of what inspires me and share them with people has been fun. So, if you haven’t done so already, head on over to our Pinterest page and browse away.

Always love to see kid movies with a strong sense of horror and all that is macabre. I am really liking the movie posters for this movie and have enjoyed seeing them up around Los Angeles.

…and the trailer.

Recently someone sent me a link to this fantastic book titled “Haunted Air”. A wonderful photographic journey through the history of Halloween between 1875 and 1955. Definitely a must have. View more pictures here and head to Amazon to grab the hardcover edition.

Thanks for sending this my way Skye!

I’ve yet to have the chance to visit Disney’s Tower of Terror, however, I think a visit is soon needed to experience the stunning design in person. From the Victorian-inspired furniture to the detailed architectural structure, it’s truly a site to see.
