Yes, I know about the "ads.pl" that is trying to download when you open this page. It's not a virus; it's an ad rotator script that that has forgotten it's a script; working to rectify it, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thoughts & Prayers for Texas Haunters

2008-10-22T11:04:00.003-04:00

Send your thoughts, prayers and good juju to John & Alyssa Cook and the Rotting Flesh Factory in Harlingen, Texas, whose haunted house burned halfway down just before they were to open for the season. Nobody was hurt, thankfully, but as you can imagine, this is a tough pill for them to have to swallow. The Cooks are great people and have been friends and clients of mine for years - here's hoping they're able to get back on track and open for 2009.

Costumes For Kids Charity

2008-09-25T17:01:00.001-04:00

Costumes for Kids is program designed to collect new or used costumes, make up, and more for disabled and disadvantaged children to give them the Halloween they deserve.

The program has officially launched and we are looking for haunted attractions, individuals, Halloween enthusiasts and more to donate old or unused costumes, make up, decorations, etc. These items will be distributed to children who are less fortunate, and children with disabilities requiring hard to find/fit costumes.

All we ask is that you contact us, and ship your costumes to us so we can have them cleaned and sent to the families in need to give the children a very special Halloween every year. All sizes are acceptable from infant on up.

Don't let the name fool you. We also accept make up (must be unopened), Halloween favors and decorations and such to bring the whole Halloween experience to these children and families. For more look at our Items Wanted or Needed page.

We will also have posters available to download that you can put up and start your own drive to help this cause. Not every child is able to celebrate Halloween as they should so let's give them that chance to escape hard times, disabilities and special needs by bringing them some simple joy.

HorrorFind Weekend Horror Art Show

2008-08-03T13:10:00.001-04:00

Hello, Dark Artists –

Just a reminder that there’s still time to show/sell your artwork and prints at the HorrorFind Weekend Horror Art Show, August 15-17.

If you didn’t already know, we dispensed with the traditional convention Silent Auction system and now deal in straight-up sales; it’s basically a Dealer’s Room for art. This saw a dramatic increase in sales at March’s show.

If you’ve already been juried, you can just go ahead and register for your panels and/or Print Shop space. If you haven’t been juried, there’s still time!

For full info: http://www.horrorfindweekend.com/artshow.html

The deadline for mailed-in artwork is August 10.

Hope to see you or your work in a couple of weeks!

Settling In(diana)

2008-07-08T23:29:00.000-04:00

Unpacking continues apace. I've discovered that I get NO phone reception anywhere in the house or office, so I've been running to and from the back porch like an idiot to make or receive phone calls. Wheeeee!

Office is coming along, getting back on track.

Be sure to join me to celebrate my 40th birthday at the Double Door this Saturday night for Metal-Mergence 2!
