Home Decorating – Haunted House Style

Home Decorating – Haunted House Style

An old saying states, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”. I could not have become such a dedicated mistress of macabre without the influence of my father. He introduced me to my first horror film before I can even remember, and by the time I was four began a horror/sci-fi/fantasy movie collection with me. Growing up, we would go to every horror convention within a three hour radius of our hometown and would drive up to seven hours to go to haunted houses during October. He was always a fan of outlandish haunted house style decorating.

When I visited home this past December, he gleefully showed me his creepy graveyard scene he set up in the soon-to-be kitchen of his new house. Since it was all torn up and waiting to be remodeled, the space served as a perfect home for his growing collection of gravestones, ghouls, and other ghastly guests. Who says you can’t celebrate Halloween year-round?

“The Piper” – Llewellyn – From the Album “Ghosts

“The Piper” – Llewellyn – From the Album “Ghosts

Ghosts is an instrumental album from Llewellyn inspired by popular ghost stories of the British Isles. These haunting melodies set the perfect mood for relaxation or meditation. The opening track, The Piper, is inspired by a ghost story from Loch Fyne by Inveraray Castle. The CD insert describes the inspiration as follows:

“The wind blows across Loch Fyne and hammers at the walls of Inveraray Castle as if to carry the sound of a piper hanged near there by Montrose and his army, before the present castle was built. Though little is known of the piper, he is said to have received his fate with honour, and the drummers played, and the women and children were forlorn as he was led to the gallows. The piper is seen and heard now and then in the remote castle where he appears on the stairs as well as in the Blue Room and the Library. “
