10-29 Ephemera

It’s almost Halloween, a holiday I love but in reality rarely execute well. Case in point – my Halloween mantle dream.  I could have made my idea work if only I hadn’t traveled every weekend in October.  Instead of my vision what is actually on my mantle is a color-changing lantern which an unknown neighbor gave us as part of a ‘You’ve Been Boo’d’ surprise.  Still, even if I don’t decorate I always give out full-size candy bars to trick-or-treaters who ring the doorbell.  Here are a few full-size treats from around the web for you to enjoy too…

• It’s the 200^thanniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, and there are events planned all over the world
• Look no further for some costume inspiration from the 2018 World of Wearable Art Competition
• Or get inspiration from these creepy costumes from yesteryear
• Ron Mueck’s Mass exhibition is a skull lover’s dream
• Grave robbers are still a thing – in Miami of all places
• Who needs a costume when you can make your own awesome mask instead
• And finally, the most popular Halloween candy in each state

…Hope you get to pull a prank or two on Mischief Night followed by a frightfully fun Halloween!
