Halloween 2025 Product Of Interest

With some of the new Halloween 2025 product lines being revealed at trade shows already, we've started taking a peek online and are making notes about things we would like to get for decorating and future haunts. This upcoming Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Candy Pail from Trick Or Treat Studios is on our shopping list! We have some orange flickering LED pumpkin lights and think a pair of these pails would look great on our entertainment center bookcase tower shelves.

2025 Haunt Plans

We've been hard at work prepping for our 2025 Devils & Demons haunt theme. We've added some new characters for this revamped version of our 2021 haunt theme. Alas, we've done pretty much all that we can do for now in our basement. There are lots of prop builds and projects for this year's haunt that just have to wait until we can start working in our garage and outside again in the late spring/early summer.

Io Saturnalia

Scrooge in Hell

Mr. Haunted Eve loves Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol because it embodies all the same spooky elements that he loves about Halloween. Mr. Haunted Eve's favorite movie version of this story is 1970's Scrooge starring Albert Finney. During the mid to late 70s, all the TV edits of this movie that he first saw cut out the "Scrooge in Hell" scenes. The later released DVD and Blu-ray versions restored the hell scenes. There are lots of fantastic details, like tormented faces in the stalactites and stalagmites.

Happy Solstice, Merry Yule!

Suspiria Theme On Electric Harp

Pumpkinrot's post about seeing Goblin perform live reminded Mr. Haunted Eve how much he love's Goblin's theme to the original version of the movie Suspiria. This version is done on electric harp by multi-instrumentalist Naomi SV using some really wonderful guitar effect pedals. Mr. Haunted Eve owns the Slö Multi Texture Reverb by Walrus Audio (the blue pedal with the moon art work on it in the video below) and it's one of the many "pure magic" sounding effect pedals offered by Walrus Audio.
