Seasonal horror...

We had a gory movie night yesterday with the rather disturbing Rob Zombie movie House Of 1000 Corpses and a large bowl of popcorn. No more nightmares, strangly enough.. Maybe I'm adjusting to my new surroundings? Or maybe my surroundings just seemed some what "normal" after the disturbing images in the movie. Never the less, a great movie to warm up for Halloween with;) It was my beloved husband that introduced me to it, I can't believe that I've missed out on this movie! Horrifying story, twisted and disturbing!! I really loved the wicked dollheads, I'm thinking how easy it would be to make and how great they would be for any disturbing dsiplay.. Also thought that the murder ride was totally rad.. hahhah A little harder to copy though. Maybe I should get myself a haunted house;) Moooohahahah

Also we watched Trick 'r Treat a couple of weeks ago, an other great Halloween story! I love the little Halloween spirit Sam. The combination of the babysuit and the horrible creature that he is makes him all the more scary! It was after watching this movie we decided to make a little Trick r' Treater Sam of our own this Halloween. With a twist, our Sam will have a wicked clown mask instead of the mask he is wearing in the movie. We'll have him by the coats, greeting the guests as they come in... With a bloody trick or treat bag in one hand and a knife in the other:) Cute!

Morning coffee and sculls

O isn't it just lovely to wake up and have your first morning coffee, by a scull decorated table and surf the world for gory props and ideas? Which by the way resulted in an other horrifying dream last night.. What you say about being chased by a bunch of madmen and a set of vintage fake teeth? And a wild car chase to top it with!? Every time I woke up, I could swear that the monster in the corner was alive.. In the morning light, I could see that my "monster" was indeed our wintercoats and not so much alive.. Scary monster. Sounds just like an other Halloween nightmare to me. Hmmm ask me in 10 days time, maybe I'm not so cocky about it by then..

O joy, only 10 days left!! Exciiited! Yet a bit nervous for my costume:/ I couldn't see that it was sent with the tracking number I was given.. Which gives me a bit of a bad feeling.. Crossing legs, fingers, hair and toes and pretty much everything else I got!!! In the mean while I'll occupy my worried mind with some more satisfying issues. Like which haunted house to chose for our wall decor. I've decided to print out a few pictures (found at Photobucket) of haunted houses to hang on the wall over our family photos, maybe a grave yard or two to go with it! I think it will add that extra spooky feel to our Cabinet Of Death...

A few haunted places that I have in mind... Be aware;)

Our private family graveyard in the backyard

Ghouly, gory Halloween.. Finally here!!

As allways, we are doing some redecoration this time of the year... Our little appartment is slowly turning into a horrifying, haunted dungeon from hell! This year we have chosen the O so suiting name "Cabinet Of Death" Moooaaaahhahaha!! Enter if you dear...

I've been surfing the entire web for props we can use to make our cozy little place into a frightful cabinet. In my search for inspiration and gory home decor I have stumbled over some goodies that I like to share:)

The labels from Love Manor just blew me away, they are absolutely gorgeous! I printed them out in color and have used them on all our kitchen jars, bottles, jars and more bottles.. Our shelf looks like some wicked witch's shelf right now, or something taken out from some horrifying lab you don't want to be caught in by the mad scientist.. Hahah together with our "family portraits" it looks pretty spooky. I'm not sure how I'm gonna sleep here for the next two weeks as it's slowly developing into the Cabinet Of Death. I allready had spooky dreams last night, dreaming of all the crazy props and stuff I've been searching up. To good of an imagination is not allways good....

Ralph Lauren's House Of Horror!!

Ralph Lauren's Lollipop Ghouls of the year has shaken up the whole world and forced the fashion house to go out with an official appology. Not so strange when nothing seems natural about the model's body on the photo. They have photoshoped the model look more or less like the scary, real life little sister of Barbie or some awareness add for anorexia. She makes me think of one of these paper dolls I played with as a kid... My first reaction to the photo is to feel sorry for the girl, because I think she is sick and about to die! What's wrong with the people in the fashion industry when they think it's perfectly OK to portrait the woman body like this? It's something very sick and very wrong about the industry all together. Photoshopping allready skinny bone models, using skinny boys for their women collection and young girls that hasn't grown any curves yet and jumps straight into their size 0. What about showing the beauty of the woman body, instead of photoshopping it away to an unrecognisable paperdoll?? Wonder what's next..? Straw Woman? I don't believe in their appology, I only believe in a change. Let women be women!
