Gaston's Ghoulish Goodies

The setting for All Hallows Eve....a terrible lightning storm, just like tonight.

On a dark and creepy island in the canals of Xochimico near Mexico City sits what might be the world’s strangest and scariest tourist attraction ever. However, this sad island was never meant to be a stop on tourists’ holiday itineraries. The Island of the Dolls was dedicated to the lost soul of a poor little girl who met her fate too soon.   View the entire article for more photos.

 A fantastic assortment of pumpkins at Whole Foods Austin.   Just love the white pumpkins.  This variety is called, Jarrahdale.  They had the Ghost Pumpkins, too.


The Fall Antique Show in Roundtop, Texas just past.   I was not able to get through the entire show.  I was/am battling Pneumonia.  I thought I was getting better, until the end of Day 1.  Oh well, I missed most of the show.  I guess I will head over to the spring show.  I did acquire some very creepy doll heads.  I will be adding them to my haunt this Halloween.  That is soon to come.  When I get through this round of antibiotics.

I am excited to send out this years Halloween invitation.  The idea was based on a fellow blogger's idea.  I changed it up, made the boxes by hand.  I wrote the summons and have them ready to go.

I have always found baby dolls creepy.  I believe the first re-used doll head I noticed was in the movie, Toy Story.  Since then I have collected images of deconstructed doll heads.   Let me know if you recognize the artists so I can give them credit.   Suzanne and I had a blast searching for dolls to decapitate today.
