My Ghoul Friday - For Halloween Artists and Enthusiasts

Quick Movie Review from You Know Who

Ghoul Friday — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:28:22 +0000

For my Halloween viewing, I rented three movies I've been wanting to see: a) Drag Me to Hell, b) Grace, and c) Dead Snow.

Drag Me to Hell was fine. I didn't care for the protagonist (perhaps I wasn't supposed to like her, but I didn't even get to enjoy my dislike for her). The ending was obvious (at least to me) for the last 30 minutes of the movie, so it was a matter of just waiting for it to be over instead of enjoying the misdirection. Overall, I think the movie was pretty weak and have no intention to ever watch it again.

Having said that, the movie had a handful of great moments (especially the first physical scuffle between the protagonist and the gypsy, which I thoroughly enjoyed).

Halloween Pictures in the Art Ghoullery

There are now 40 pictures posted in the Art Ghoullery for Halloween 2009. I may add a couple more (of the flowers on the windowsill) but overall, I'd say I'm finished.

You'll want to open the images in a new tab or utilize your back button. There are plans to revamp the site with better navigation for the galleries, but that won't be happening just yet.

Picnic in the Pumpkin Patch: Part 3

You've seen images of him before, but I thought you might like a peek of him all lit up properly. I've posted two here, but look for a few more this week when I put the entire collection on the website.

Picnic in the Pumpkin Patch: Part 2

As Dave the Dead said in a comment in the previous post, "Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see". That was part of the plan. And why not encourage the arrival of the Great Pumpkin with a sign?

I used one of my painted pieces of cardboard made last year as the sign. It worked out perfectly (number of letters and the number of fake wooden planks). Saved me a lot of time as well. Recycling props is always a great idea.
