I am pretty sure there is some law against changing construction signs but this is awesome.  The video isn;t great but it says:

“CAUTION! ZOMBIES! AHEAD!!!”

“RUN FOR COLD CLIMATES”

“THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!!!”

I am a few days late Fear Fest ‘08 is currrently going on over at the AMC cable channel. It is running through Halloween so there are a few more days to catch lots of great horror movies. They are edited for television but are good if you don’t have anything else to watch or if you need to get into the Halloween mood.

Bloody Mary is this years host of Universal’s annual Halloween Horror Nights.  Their website for this years event is up and running.  I forsee a lot of mirrors at this years event.

The Skull-A-Day blog is a great site. They are posting a new skull picture every day for a year. It is even more timely now that Halloween is approaching. A few years back The Big Fez and I put these together over the course of a weekend.

The skulls were gleaming white out of the box and we aged them. Then we cut holes in the neck and mounted them on sticks. We placed raffia on the base of the skulls. I added the bottle caps in the eye sockets after a few beers. I thought it added an extra touch of class. It took a few hours but it was well worth the effort and they turned out great. They still get used every year for our annual Halloween party.

I am not a big fan of Halloween masks.  I had a few Halloween costumes as a kid that involved masks and I remember they all had poor visibility, were uncomfortable and above all were hot.  I am sure this mask is no different.  That being said I think this mask has a high scare factor and would be great for scaring the neighborhood kids.   The Saw Pig Mask isn’t available yet but should be out in time for Halloween. 

Dracula’s Castle is for sale. The guy in Romania who owns it has put it on the market. I would totally buy this if I had the money.  I haven’t called my real estate agent about it but I am pretty sure it is out of my price range.
