Spirit Halloween Store 2010

Spent a few hours in paradise a couple of days ago… well, paradise for a Halloween fanatic anyway. I’m in my mid-30s, yet I still get butterflies just walking through Spirit Halloween’s doors! As always, Chris (the owner of all three Albuquerque Spirit locations) and the employees were tremendously kind and helpful. I can’t say enough nice words about the people who work at my local Spirit shops.

Hope you enjoy the video tour. Just a heads up in case kids are watching alongside you: there’s some colorful language at the end of the vid, but I thought the clip was too funny to not include it (especially for a known potty mouth like me).

If you happen to be in the Albuquerque area and want to drop by Spirit Halloween, you’ll find them at 4610 Cutler Avenue, NE, (505) 872-2786 and at 1221 South Renaissance Blvd. NE (slated to open on Sept. 13th), (505) 872-2786.

On the west side, Spirit can be found at 10490 Coors Blvd. Bypass NW in the old Circuit City building — sorry, but I don’t have their phone number. If you go to the west side shop, ask for Harold (he’s the “Grim Greeter” in today’s vid entry), he’ll take good care of you.

Skeleton Driving on Halloween

Many people place skeletons in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle as part of their Halloween yard display, but YT user, cschaible took that concept to a whole new level. He created an awesome effect, giving the appearance a skeleton was actually driving his car.

The footage shows how he did it as well as a few reactions from trick-or-treaters.

On another note — I made a few changes yesterday to the menu and sidebar of the site to trim things up a little. The “Halloween and Ghostly Links” section (that used to appear in the sidebar of every page) is being incorporated into the link/banner page of the site.

There were several more great Halloween and paranormal sites I’ve been wanting to add to the sidebar, however, it would have caused that section to grow too long. So, I’ve decided to start placing all external links to other haunters and paranormal enthusiasts in the main link page. I haven’t added all the links yet, including the new ones, but just wanted to let you know I’m working on it.

I also removed the Amazon powered “Store” from the site to make way for a new project I’m developing. And, the About link was relocated to the menu at the bottom of each page.

Skulls on Martha

During her Halloween countdown, last October, Martha Stewart had Skull-A-Day creator, Noah Scalin on her show. In this clip, Noah brought a few of the skull creations he made during his 365 day long project.

I hope you guys aren’t minding my recent addiction to featuring videos in my entries. I typically find videos to be more interactive for posts and they tell a story so much better than still photos. Of course, I’m sure I’ll be mixing it up again soon, but for right now I’m on a vid kick.
