Werewolf cats...just in time for Halloween.

This is a real thing. They are called Lykoi cats and a genetic mutation keeps hair from growing around their eyes and mouth and with coarse grayish "wolf" hair, they look like little werewolfs.

I really want one! 

Fall comes early? It does for Starbucks Fans!

That's right! They are releasing Pumpkin Spice flavored drinks early this year! Cannot wait!

wicKED Wares : Kirklands

I had the pleasure of visiting Kirklands and ordering online. My dear old mother also bought a few items for me to boot! I am pleased with this years purchases from Kirklands.

Before anybody starts calling me a hypocrite, there is some glitter items in here. I am deadfast not a fan of glitter and glitter is not used in the Yard Haunt....Period! However, M does get a say in some of the decor and this year we have the entire basement level that will be transformed into a black light pool hall/bar/party dance room. The glittery items are for that purpose alone : )

This will be in the bar during this years party. My mother picked this out for us. She did good!

This will go in the dining room

This is cool but I was disappointed to find very dull yellow lights instead of purple. I ordered this online and even the box says Purple lights (click image to see). I called customer service and they are going to give me a call back about it. Lets see how they do with service work!

My third Kirklands light up artwork. I had to order this as well. They did not have them in stock at my local store.

Here it is in all it's LED glory. This will be going over the living room mantle.

M had to have this little guy. Reminded her of Trick or Treat.

My mother got us this. He will be perfect in the party room. He has a multi color strobe effect that literally lights up an entire room.

This pic does not do it justice for the amount of light you get. Lot of fun at the party with this guy.

 I am starting a collection of various Halloween cats. Spirit has a white bone cat and I am on the look out for a zombie cat. 

Happy 3rd Blog Birthday and 700th Post!

Today marks the 3rd Birthday of my little Halloween blog. It also coincides with the 700th post on here as well. Never thought I would post 700 things on here to be honest.

A lot of things have happened in my life over the last 3 years from new house, career change, and a wedding since the FIRST POST

I hope there are many more to come, and I hope that all the loyal followers I have had the pleasure of conversing with over the years continue to support and read the blog!

wicKED Woods Needs Your Help!!!

As we hurdle towards Halloween season, I findmyself in a cunundrum. I face a decision that has been keeping me up at night on a regular basis. That is why I am reaching out to my friends and follows for some help.

We are living in a new house, so everything I have done for decades has changed completely, and I am in need of opinions. Should I have the yard haunt in the front yard or the side yard........

Let's start with the Side yard:

Even though this is the "main" Entrance to the house it is still what I consider the side yard. It also has a large sugar maple that looks pretty good in fall.

It has a sidewalk that acts as a natural guide for walking. Large covered porch, several bushes for evil things to lurk and windows for lighting and other effects.

Several windows for sinister scene setting silhouettes(wow say that 5 times fast)

It also boasts a balcony for all kinds of evil to lurk around on.

This is the view from the side porch. That is the side of the church next door...church goes park here a lot and I fear I will offend them in my celebration of the grand holiday.

This is the corner of the house between side and front. This is the main profile of the house also. The 4 way stop ensures that this is the most viewed profile of the house.

This is the "front: of the house. It has no walkway leading to the steps. Dogwoods adorn the front and there is a really long stretch of baren side yard there to the right with a big old privacy fence. 

There is a big bay window here for scene setting, a small window here for something static to leer out of. A round windown upstairs could also have something ghostly looking down.

The Front of the house has 2 large Bay windows(previous pic and this one) also, there is a small basement window for all kinds of coloral lighting. Bushes to hide in too! You could also see things from the balcony and porch if you put them on the side facing this way.

This is the view from the front. Nice neighbor who likes Halloween too. 

So my delima is this. Which porch do I use for the haunt? Ultimately I would like the whole thing decorated but which way should the kids walk in for treats? Which is the main entrance? 

Please take pity on me and leave detailed comments with you thought....

I thank you all in advance!
