Halloween’s Sauce-y Undead
September 28th, 2010 by John Wolfe
Got a hankerin’ for a feast of flesh? How ’bout a thirst for some drool from a ghoul? Or perhaps you have a more discriminating palate and you’d prefer chowing down on a less than fresh side dish of death. If that’s the case, some scrapings from a moldy corpse should be just what the mortician ordered. This is the point where backup vocals interrupt my bizarre, morbid descriptions with a, “Shut Your Mouth.” And then I respond with, “I’m just talking about Haunted Hot Sauce.” Once again I’m showing my age, but this time with a “Shaft” reference. 
In all seriousness, “FleashFeast,” “Ghoul Drool,” “Mortician’s Mold” and “Undertaker’s Undead” are all hot sauce flavors available at HauntedHotSauce.com. While I’ve only tried Ghoul Drool, I’m positive the other flavors are just as delicious. The creator of Haunted Hot Sauce, Victor “The Undertaker” Ives, is a consummate professional when it comes to creating incredible sauce, not to mention his wonderfully creative eye for detail in marketing and packaging his products.
Each bottle comes in its own creepily cool, hand-made cedar coffin, equipped with moss and fake maggots! In fact, I love my Ghoul Drool’s cedar coffin so much, it still rests on the workbench in my shop for inspiration.
I don’t recommend products very often in my blog entries, but Haunted Hot Sauce is one that I’m very proud to endorse (for free). If you’d like to place an order before Halloween, I’m sure “The Undertaker” can accommodate you.

Oh, I just love the spirit of this kind of product creation!

I am not a hot sauce fan but my daughter is . I think I might just send her some of this. And she`ll love the coffin and maggots too lol thanks for telling us about this.

Had to go order some–I’m having serious green chile withdrawal and if I can’t have that, jalapenos will just have to do!

autumnforest,
I second that! It’s totally a labor of love for Victor and his enthusiasm and passion for the entire creative process of Haunted Hot Sauce shows through in everything that he does.
ssflipo13,
Cool! If you send her some, please let me know her reaction. I was grinning from ear to ear when I opened up my Ghoul Drool order.
Stephanie D,
Yeah, this time of year has to be rough for a chile lover who’s no longer in the state. If you ever want me to send a sack of green your way, just let me know. I can always do it for you next year if you like. Glad to hear you ordered some sauce!

I’m not a big hot sauce fan but I can most certainly appreciate all the extra work that went into the detailing of the name, packaging, and the sauces themselves. I can recall you showing us the wooden coffin from the hot sauce he sent you last year or so, including the little maggots and I thought that was wonderfully done. Victor has done and continues to do an outstanding job on his creations! Thank you Victor!

Hey John,
Thank you so much for this post! As you well know, this is an extremely busy time for me but I always take some time to read my favorite blogs. And yours is at the top of the list! I am very surprised and grateful!
Stephanie D:
THANK YOU!! As John wrote…my business really is a labor of love. I LOVE Halloween and zombies and horror and I LOVE spicy sauces and foods. The combination of the two only seemed natural to me. I really do make each and every coffin by hand…and I’ll actually be building your coffins over the next day or two.
Thank you both!!!

Goldie,
Oh, yeah, I love that coffin! It not only looks great, but you also get that cedar smell too.
Thank you so much for your comment.

Thank you Goldie! My business is very labor intensive but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I want receiving one of my products to be an experience to remember! The smell of the cedar coffin, the mausoleum moss inside…the little maggots resting comfortably…and of course the robust flavorful hot sauce labeled with a toe tag! I don’t want this to start sounding like an advertisement so I’ll stop. I just really appreciate all of the support I receive from some of the most amazing people in the world.

Victor,
It’s my pleasure. Haunted Hot Sauce totally rocks! I love what you do and I’m more than happy to post about it. Thanks for your kind words about the Season of Shadows blog too! Have a great Halloween!

Victor,
Thank you so much for the unbelievable kind comment back to me. I remember a video John did last year in which he showed us the coffin your hot sauce arrives in and I totally fell in love wit the entire concept!!! What a terrific imagination to deck out the hot sauce itself as though it were an age old corpse! Moreover, I have a deep appreciation for original work through and through. The labels are totally kick ass and I adore the manner in which you and your family (?) stroll around in character to sell such a hot sauce from hell
Sadly I’m not a hot sauce fan but if I were, I would absolutely be trying a few of your mixtures. Awesome work Victor and keep it coming!

Sounds like the perfect sauce to add to a stake sandwich.

Haunted Hot Sauce kicks some serious @$$!! I ordered some for my dad’s birthday last year – he said it was some of the best hot sauce he’d ever tasted! Glad to see you like it too, John. Oh, and don’t worry – I too, have seen “Shaft”

Barry Huddleston,
“Stake” sandwiches have got to be a vampire hunters favorite. I guess when you spend all day driving sharp wooden daggers through the hearts of the living dead, you really work up an appetite.
Damian the HalloweeNut,
See, now that’s a good son — one that gets his dad cool stuff like Haunted Hot Sauce for birthday gifts! Thanks for making me feel better about that Shaft reference. I was beginning to think I was the only one who remembered that show.

I bet that stuff would go great on my chili. It is cool enough here to make stuff like that now! By the way, I have finished my main creation for this year! Thank goodness. Here is the link to the image on Deviant art. http://mreblack.deviantart.com/#/d2zpwd8
Happy October Eve!

That is so awesome! Go Victor, GO!!! Anybody that can combine their love for Halloween with the other good things in life gets my vote! Well done! I think it’s a brilliant combination and the names of the sauces really cracked me up! Keep up the great work, Mr. Undertaker!!!

Ethan,
I bet it would too. I used Ghoul Drool on scrambled eggs, casseroles, chips, you name it. It went with everything. Congrats on finishing your main 2010 creation. Thanks for the link. I’m looking forward to checking it out in a bit.
Happy October, right back at ya, my friend.
