Chills and Thrills

The crisp autumn breeze, the scent of pumpkin spice in the air...

You know what that means ~✧

To think, me, the subject of someone’s Halloween celebration…!  I couldn’t be more thrilled!!

Finally, the time has come!

With only a week left before the spookiest day of the year is upon us, I thought I’d take a little time to let y’all know what the deal is!

This year has been pretty busy for me.  You wouldn’t believe how many pumpkins I’ve carved and hallowthneeds I’ve sold since last year!  It’s been a real hoot!  

Having said that, I have to let y’all know that I’m still pretty swamped with life, so I can’t say I expect to be able to keep this little blog going at full speed like I did last year.  I’ll still be here, but I might not be able to keep you updated as much is all!

Just letting y’all know I haven’t died or anything!  Rather, I’m just a little busy!  I’ll try to answer a question or two for the day itself, but besides that I can’t promise anything.

Tell your mom that she doesn’t need to worry; Halloween isn’t a celebration of the devil and it never really was!

Halloween is a holiday that people say started way back when the Celtics would wear costumes and light bonfires to ward off spirits in a festival known as Samhain!  Later on, a guy in the eighth century known as Pope Gregory III created All Saint’s Day, and the day before it—October 31st—was named All Hallow’s Eve, which we know today as the glorious day of Halloween!

You’re asking me???  The Halloween-ler?????  What I love about Halloween??????????????

LITERALLY EVERYTHING?!!!

The costumes!!  The candy!!  The atmosphere!!!  The pumpkins!!!  The movie specials!!!  Everything!!!

(( whats up dan here bringing u an exciting belated announcement regarding this blog (and all my other ask blogs) !!

recently i made this post explaining the situation but i’ll summarize it here for convenience too:  im going to focus solely on my comic and stop worrying about my ask blogs for a while !!  so that means no updates until i take a hiatus after i finish a chapter ;v; i’ll take a hiatus after every chapter and since im going to focus directly on the comic instead of ask blogs + animations + etc. side projects i feel like i’ll be able to work much more efficiently so maybe i wont take that long at all !!

i just want to finish this damn comic b/c its been like two years since i started and im only on chapter 2 :’) so.  i figure this is a good solution since the reason ive been procrastinating all this time was b/c i had so much other shit on my plate, unlike when i started out, so by forcing myself to put those on hold i’ll probably have an easier time getting back into that old mindset that had me dishing out a billion pages rly fast !!

I got so caught up in that I almost forgot to restart my counter...

Happy Halloween, pal!~✧

Now, let’s see…

I’ll be frank with you—heh—the Frankenstein’s Monster hallowthneed that’s displayed is one of a kind!  Luckily, I can say the same for all of the hallowthneeds made from this pattern; each Frankenstein’s Monster hallowthneed is made like…well, Frankenstein’s monster!  Basically, it’s a bunch of hallowthneed parts sewn together to make another unique hallowthneed!  That’s not to say I can’t throw in some dye and add a little extra spookiness to ‘em, though!  Pretty neat, right?

Anyway!

But, no worries!  Like I said, there is a Halloween discount, and it still counts for custom orders.  So, that would bring you toooo…

$16 even!~✧

I figured sweeter colors would suit you better!  Not exactly my area of expertise, but…hey, it’s gotta be creepy to somebody, right?

…  Here, take it before it starts creepin’ me out.

Looking for a spooky cloak to stalk the shadows with?  What about a fashionably tattered scarf to flow behind you in the cool night's breeze?  Well, the hallowthneed's got you covered!

Need a tail for your werewolf costume?  Or maybe a cape for your vampire costume?  Sounds like you need a hallowthneed!

Thanks to its all-natural microfibers, the thneed is not only durable enough to hold that giant haul of candy you'll be carrying, but it's also super absorbant—which means it's the perfect vessel for holding all that fake blood you'll be splattering everywhere!

You too can have your very own hallowthneed for the very low price of $19.95 (plus shipping and handling)!  Discounts available on Halloween day!

Sure thing!

Little pumpkins are good for drawing designs on for decoration, but the bigger pumpkins work better for carving purposes!

Make sure your design is clear so ya don’t mess up!  If you don’t want to draw your own design, you can always use a stencil.  Nothin’ wrong with that!

Cutting off the top is more traditional and works better for larger pumpkins, but I find that cutting the bottom works for smaller and/or weirdly-shaped ones!  Plus, you can’t really see the hole if you cut off the bottom, so it looks cleaner.  All up to you, though!

Don’t be afraid to get messy!  This is the fun part!~✧

Remember, pumpkins shrivel up if ya carve ‘em too early, so plan accordingly!  However, if you’re like me and like to carve pumpkins year-round, it helps to soak ‘em in a bucket of water for a few hours to help preserve their moisture. ;)
