The ghosts of all things past parade,
Emerging from the mist and shade
That hid them from our gaze,
And, full of song and ringing mirth,
In one glad moment of rebirth,
And again they walk the ways of earth
As in the ancient days.

The beacon light shines on the hill,
The will-o’-wisps the forests fill
With flashes filched from noon;
And witches on their broomsticks spry
Speed here and yonder in the sky,
And lift their strident voices high
Unto the Hunter’s Moon.

The air resounds with tuneful notes
From myriads of straining throats,
All hailing Folly Queen;
So join the swelling choral throng,
Forget your sorrow and your wrong,
In one glad hour of joyous song
To honor Hallowe’en!

I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. I hope you’ve all have your decorations up, if not at lead a jack o’lantern or two. For tonight the moon shines, the feeling of magic and wonder fills the air and the feeling that anything is possible fills our minds. I hope your day and night is full of fright!

Visited the local Farmer’s Market at The Grove here in Los Angeles and was pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful little pumpkin patch set-up. Nothing beats sitting back, relaxing and watching a witch tend to her pumpkin patch… Hope everyone’s having a great Halloween season!

Tonight, with only candle light and a slice of pumpkin pie, I watched Michael Dougherty’s “Trick ‘r Treat”. Filled with the beautiful visions of Halloween accompanied by four interwoven urban legends, this movie had me eagerly awaiting what could possibly come next. So without hesitation, carve a jack o’lantern, turn off the lights, lock the door and watch “Trick ‘r Treat”.

When I first started setting up an elaborate Halloween display, about five or so years ago, I joined several large Halloween communities. I started to make a lot of friends, collected some amazing idea and always kept hearing about pumpkinrot. I never really knew what or who this was. I always thought that it was some form of style that people built stuff in. It wasn’t until I discovered pumpkinrot’s photos and scarecrows that I realized this was indeed a form of style, but more so, this was, from that moment on, my favorite Halloween artist. His craft of building some of the most unique and terrifying scarecrows has become a staple of the Halloween community. He continues, and always will, to set the bar even higher every year.

The craft of PumpkinRot.

Close the curtains, turn off the lights, get the candy and light the candles. Trick ‘r Treat is now available on DVD and BluRay! Tell your friends, spread the word.
