Haunted Humpday = movies, dinners and corners

It's here again.

Hope you had a creepy week, haha!

We found the pumpkins...last Thursday a shipment arrived at the grocery store near us.

We're so excited...!

Have you watched any scary movies lately?

We just went tonight and watched

The Visit.

It was so good!!

very odd...and unexpected.

One of the things I look forward to most at movies are the previews.

There's one coming out in 2016

that looks extremely interesting.

Here's the trailer..

I can't wait!!!!! 

so are you planning out your Halloween dinner yet?

We used to have a great one every year...

except for the past few years..they turned into a "fast food" nightmare..

now that things are better and back to normal,

I'm looking for creepy recipes for our dinner this time around.

I found this one..

It's a meatloaf!

It's only slightly nasty...still kind of cute right?

there are other recipes that are so damn disgusting I'd probably puke

attempting to eat it. 

Here's a great site with a bunch of gross/cute ideas.

Last week I talked about the pine cones we gathered

and the silly Halloween creatures Helena made..

Here's the Bigfoot I mentioned her creating for this week.

She named him Sam-squatch.

I have a winner for the planchette I felted last week!

It's Laura

Congratulations...!!! 

 

It's bad luck to walk under a ladder. This came from the early Christian belief that a leaning ladder formed a triangle with the wall and ground. You must never violate the Holy Trinity by walking through a triangle or you be would be considered in league with the devil.

The ladder and the wall form a corner, of sorts...

when you break the triangle the devil is supposed to appear...allegedly.

This thing happened when I was probably around six

When my nephew was born my brother's wife would bring him

over so my mom could see him.

One night, she put him to bed in the back bedroom and went into the living room

to visit with my mother.

She went to look in on him periodically, he was only two months old at the time..

She went back in to check him then

My mother heard her calling for her frantically 

when she entered the bedroom

she was holding the baby and crying...she had him in a carrier in the middle of a queen size bed, but when 

she walked in..he was across the room in the corner, still in his carrier.

Our family dog, went in to be nosy, I guess because of the commotion,

and immediately began barking viciously at the corner of the room where the baby had just been.

the dog's hackles were up and it wouldn't stop barking no matter how many times my

mom called to it.

My mother and my brother's wife began walking out of the room

scared already..as  they began walking to the door, the lights in the room went out.

 

My dad insisted it was only a nervous old dog...and a fuse that blew..

my brother's wife never went back though.

She was convinced there was something in

 that corner that meant to harm her baby.

What do you think??

As usual, thank you for stopping by this week...

leave a comment and next week you could win a mini imp of your own!!

See you soon!!
