I am SO loving the excuse to post Halloween decorations daily! Halloween Magazine has a nice ring don’t you think?
This “bloody hands” shower curtain is over at Fright Catalog and just $10! There’s also a tablecloth. Better than faux blood, it won’t make your table sticky.

Jeff Charbonneau and Eliza French: Massillon
Date: October 3rd, 2008
Dreamlike, sensual, and ominous, the black-and-white photography of Jeff Charbonneau and Eliza French is like a surrealist’s take on a Nathaniel Hawthorne novel. The darkly romantic prints capture a lone female (often played by French herself), typically seen only in silhouette, swallowed by a landscape or set within a gothic folk tale. The work deals in memory, myth, and the interplay between the two. The LA-based duo emerges from the darkroom for tonight’s opening of their most recent show, Massillon, at Bergamot’s Robert Berman Gallery.
“Massillon is the true story of ancestor Zeta Eliza Woolley, transposed through the surreal imaginings of the artists into a fairy-tale of suffering and unpredictable beauty. Each photograph is part of an unraveling narrative, derived from the memories and dreams inspired by Woolley’s life and death in Massillon, Ohio in the late 1800’s.
Combining a love for Victorian era aesthetics and 19th century craftsmanship, the artists produce large-scale photographs of rare texture and depth using medium and large format film, and traditional black and white darkroom techniques.” - RBG

Project of the Day
Date: October 1st, 2008
Here’s the start of the best party ideas ever (no seriously, e v e r). We’re devoting an entire month of crafty goodness for All Hallow’s Eve because it’s deserved.
Vampire Bites
Everyone will want to sink their teeth into these scary Halloween treats!
Prep time: 20 min.
Baking time: 7-10 min.
Decoration time: 15 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you’ll need:
1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand Minis
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
Red food coloring
1/2 cup red decorator’s sugar
1 tube vanilla frosting
Plastic wrap
Electric mixer
Large bowl
Medium bowl
2 cookie sheet pans
Printable templates (or lip-shaped cookie cutter)
What to do:
Combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg; beat well. Slowly add the flour mixture into the dough until blended. Add enough food coloring to tint the dough a bright red. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line the cookie sheet pans with the parchment paper.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use the printable templates or cookie cutter to cut out 24 lip shapes. Otherwise, you can form the dough into 24 balls and flatten each slightly to create free-form shaped lips using your hands to pinch and shape the dough. Transfer these to the prepared cookie sheets. Re-roll the scraps if necessary.
Sprinkle the cookies with red sugar. Bake 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, and immediately press an unwrapped MILKY WAY® Brand Minis piece into the center of each cookie. Cool completely. Use vanilla frosting to pipe fangs over the candy.
Tip: If short on time, consider using store-bought refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Begin by kneading 2/3 cup of flour into the dough, then roll and cut according to the above directions. One roll of cookie dough makes approximately 18 cookies.
Makes 24 bites.

Zombies! Zombies!! Zombies! -Cinefamily Thursdays in October
Date: October 1st, 2008
“The zombie–a real Romero zombie, not the voodoo kind–is the first new monster in decades that has captured the public imagination with the same kid of archetypal recurrence as werewolves and vampires, rising up again and again. It’s a modern, urban terror; humans aren’t necessarily supposed to be surrounded by millions of other humans. What if these faceless hordes of people of people we have to deal with, packed into one location, all mindlessly turned on each other? On us? But the zombie-take-all scenario isn’t just a fear–it’s a fantasy too, exposing our secret desire to guiltlessly blow away row after row of hungry, stupid humanoids, with no repercussions. When is it gonna be most okay to shoot someone in the head? In the zombie apocalypse, that’s when. Co-Presented by Bloody-Disgusting.com ” -Cinefamily
