22nd Night Before Hallow's Eve - Costume Tutorial!



Tonight's Halloween make-up tutorial will be for a "Crazy Cat Lady". Now, you don't need an actual cat to pull off this look. You can always carry around stuffies if you don't have 6 cats like I do.  Don't worry, my dear pal at Horror Cats, you can pull off this look, too.  You can be the "Crazy Cat Guy".

Halloween Countdown - Night 23 - Free Movie & Cos-Play Tutorial!


Tonight's movie I am going to share that you can view in the player below is, "Boy Easts Girl".  This is an adorable film about a young man's coming of age as a turning zombie, a love story, and the zombie apocalypse.  Its an Irish film, and one of my modern favorites as far as zombie flicks go! And you all might now know, but you do now. I firmly believe every man should have an Irish accent since I love them the most above all others!




Tonight, I am going to post a YouTube cos-play/Halloween make-up tutorial on how to create a comic book character/pop art look.

American Horror Story Season 4 - Tonight!



I don't have cable so I will have to catch it on Amazon when it comes on, but I am going to post a trailer and hope that later noone of you will spoil the plot, but I will be living vicariously through all of you! I just want to say, Angela Bassett looks great with three boobs!  Furthermore, I am quite jealous that Jessica Lange has not held me, but I guess I am not as cute as the world's smallest woman and I'm kind chubby so it might hurt her back.

Halloween Countdown - Night 26!

As promised, I will be posting yet more free horror movies and costuming, cos-play, Halloween make-up tutorials to get you prepped for the best holiday of the year, All Hallow's Eve'n

Tonight, I will be sharing 1972's Tales From the Crypt, which stars Joan Collins! Remember her? You all remember her from Dynasty is you are old like I am!!!!


This horror anthology based on the comic book of the same title follows five strangers who go on a tour to view historic catacombs. Separated from the group, one by one, they each find themselves in a room with the Crypt Keeper, who tells them each a story, which involves their character.



The Crypt Keeper on the HBO series made much later than this movie is absolutely adorable.  I want to sit him on my knee and tickle his little wrinkled feet.  He looks like a little dead baby.  Oooooh, that's probably going to get taken the wrong way by somebody.  He's just cute.  I love him like little old men are cute!
In honor of my handsome little dead, rotting-fleshed nugget, Mr. Crypt Keeper, tonight's Halloween make-up tutorial will show you how to do basic dead person make-up.  You can use this basic look to begin a zombie, corpse, ghost, or any dead person costume choice, really.  Its pretty all-purpose and looks cool!

I chose this particular tutorial, because not everybody is a make-up and special effects expert or even intermediate with make-up so I figured anyone could use this to complete a basic dead person effect!

Halloween Countdown - Night 29!

We are one day closer than yesterday to Halloween.  As promised, I will be posting a spooky movie and a make-up/costuming/cosplay tutorial you can use or pass along to a friend who can use it for Halloween.  I hope you guys have your costuming supplies and you are in the spirit, whooo hooo!  We, as horror fans, look forward to this occasion all year!  Everyday is Halloween for me, in fact!


Tonight's film, for your viewing pleasure, will be, Taste the Blood of Dracula (1969), starring Christopher Lee as our favorite bloodsucker!

You can watch it in the players below.  The film is split into two parts.





I will be posting the costuming tutorial below on how to create Maleficent's make-up look!

Halloween Countdown - Night 30

I will be posting a free movie every night until Halloween happens along with a new costume or make-up/cosplay video for Halloween until All Hallow's Eve is in session!

Tonight's film will be Chronicle of the Raven (Jennifer's Shadow) (2004) starring Faye Dunaway as the villainess, which she does so well!  Don't let the Spanish subtitles throw you off.  Its in English.

Chronicle of the Raven concerns Jennifer, a young woman who must combat an evil curse placed on her family by her grandmother. The curse takes the form of an illness that wastes away its victims. In addition to showing signs of the disease, Jennifer is plagued by nightmares in which a raven slowly eats away at her body. She must figure out how to stop her grandmother before her entire family meets a grim fate. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

You can watch it in the player below.


If you prefer, you can watch it on Popcornflix by clicking here without subtitles!

And....below is your costuming tutorial of the day; this one is a skeleton face tutorial, which would be good if you are going as Jack Skellington, American Horror Story's Tate Langdon.  Have we forgotten about  him?  An easy and inexpensive costume that only requires make-up and what you probably already have in your closet!

Salem, Massachusetts  - Salem, Massachusetts, of course, is the home of the Salem Witch Trials made famous by Arthur Miller's Crucible and of course, in almost every history course you took in school.  I hope you remember learning about the Pilgrims from England, the Native Americans, and the Mayflower.  Seriously, you get it.  Anyway, Salem has loads of attractions, which include The Pirate Museum, The Salem Wax Museum, The Witch's Dungeon, Peabody Essex Museum, and a ton of other cool stuff.  The best part of Salem is that its super Pagan friendly and has lots of book and supply shops for herbs, crystals, and magic stuff!

5. Robert the Doll (Key West, Florida) - Robert the Doll, is and was a doll kept by a Key West, Florida artist, Eugene "Gene" Robert Otto from boyhood until his death and well beyond. Robert the Doll now lives in a glass box in a museum in Key West, Florida, his native home.

Robert scared the bejesus out of Mr. Otto's wife and spent much time in the turret room of their Victorian Home in Key West, Florida, wearing his creepy little sailor suit and hat. He kind of looks like a black eyed potato and scares the ever living crap out of most who he meets!

You can click here to watch a video on a Voodoo Legend involving Robby, my hero and my favorite little doll!  

Me? I want to sit him on my knee and read him a long bedtime story! I would like my own turret room with a little widow's walk on the outside so I can hold a candle in the window waiting for my dearly departed lover to come home, um, safe, yeah, I want him to come home safe. Wait, there is nobody who is coming home safe. Yeah, I was getting immersed in the Victorian Romance of the story. Oh wait, there is no romance, just death and a creepy doll left behind that scares everyone and lives creepily in a museum.

You can go visit him and check out more information on his website below!
