Pumpkin of the Dead by Ray Villafane
Ray Villafane does it again with the shriek-inducing zombie pumpkin sculpture, carved from the world’s current largest pumpkin, weighing in a formidable 1,818.5 lbs. I will now never not be able to think of pumpkins of orange zombie eggs. Thanks for that, Ray.

31 Day Halloween Challenge! Day 23, 24, 25, 26 - h-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n-rules
Day 23 - Favorite fall food.
Pumpkin anything of course! Especially warm pumpkin spice bread mmmm nom nom I’ve bought this to make this weekend:

Day 24 - Your favorite pumpkin carving.
Not that I’ve done, but in general: I’ve always loved the “puking” pumpkins lol I know they’re cheesy as hell, but I don’t even care. It makes me chuckle every time. And any super intricate ones. I’m always amazing because I have a hell of a time carving pumpkins and I have no idea how people get such clean, tiny, intricate lines!


Day 25 - Do you believe in spirits?
Yes.
Day 26 - Plans for Halloween this year.
Just handing out candy! I’m dressing up as Amy Pond fighting the silence in the season premier of Doctor Who this year, and I’m gonna see if there’s anything else to do, but I don’t know. I haven’t been feeling very well, but I it’s my favorite holiday so I may just knock back some antibiotics and sudafed and deal with it haha I’m most excited about my costume because I can’t wait to see if anyone recognizes it! Last year I got two little Doctors, a Rose, and a little Jack Harkness, plus a teenaged Doctor and Martha! Which surprised, impressed, and pleased me because I had no idea Doctor Who had gotten so popular here!



31 Day Halloween Challenge! Day 13 and 14
13. Best pumpkin carving you’ve done
Last year I did a really cool cat with a skeleton. It was just from one of those pumpkin masters carving kits you can buy at Target or whatever, but it looked awesome and just about everyone who came to the door mentioned how much they loved it! This one:

14. Do you believe in ghosts/spirits?
Totally. Physics says that energy can’t be destroyed, only transformed, so where does the energy we consist of go when we die? For the most part, I like to think our energy goes back out into the universe, into the stars, or other planets or whatever, but maybe sometimes it sticks around. So I don’t believe in physical manifestations, like seeing a real person (though sometimes I think I do), but just that feeling of someone being there. I think that’s the most believable, scientifically speaking. Though I’d like to believe in magic and traditional “ghost” ghosts.

Day 13 - Favorite Rocky Horror Picture Show song.
Day 14 - Ideal Halloween costume.
There are a few I’ve always wanted to do! Isolde’s wedding costume from Tristan & Isolde - it’s a cheesy movie, but a beautiful costume, and I could just say I’m Isolde, and not have to specify. And then I really like some of the multiplayer costumes from Assassin’s Creed - the thief, the smuggler, the vanguard, and the thespian. Or HBIC Lucretia from Spartacus (with that exact costume), Rogue from the X-Men in her newest hooded costume, John Marston from Red Dead Redemption, or Little Red Riding Hood but with a costume like Anna Paquin’s in Trick R Treat, Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra (the Barbie had the best view of the costume), or the Egyptian Queen Barbie (I got her when I was 10 for Christmas, I hate Barbies but she’s awesome)… ugh, there are too many! I have so many Halloween costume dreams haha

Me as a pumpkin (1989), and my sister as a pharaoh and me as a devil (1990). Just some cute, old Halloween pictures for the season! May post more later.
31 Day Halloween Challenge! Day 4
4. Best Halloween/Fall themed food
Pumpkin flavored anything, basically. But most of all? Soft, chewy, warm, pumpkin bread. The best tasting mix I’ve ever found was sold by Williams-Sonoma: pumpkin spice quick bread mix. So. Good!

Day 4 - Favorite candy.
In general, I LOVE Swedish Fish! It’s been my favorite candy my entire life (the red ones are the best, yum)… but, if we’re talking typical Halloween-y candies, then my favorite treat is a tie between Reese’s peanut butter cups (especially the white chocolate ones) and smarties (the fruity wafers, not the chocolate candies! - and the white ones are the best, but purple is nasty and I never eat them). I used to trade my sister for all her smarties lol And since she knew how much I loved them, the price was always steep - typically half my haul lmao
