I'm a member of Haunt Forum under the same name. I'm usually over there most of the time.

I spend all my time obsessing over Halloween, photography, odd dolls, zines, writing, lurking, macabre "crafts", prop building, and dog walking (my "profession")

The WolfMan, Frankenstein, Evil Dead I & II, Silence of the Lambs, Scream, Rob Zombie flicks, Dawn of the Dead (original), Suspiria, Black Christmas (both), The Crow, Misery, Death Proof, Mr. Boogedy, Hocus Pocus, The Witches, Hitchcock flicks, Dracula's Daughter, FREAKS!, Scream of Fear, Daughters of Darkness, Terror Train, Halloween 1-6 (yep, even 3), etc etc etc...

I like the occasional girlie flick too. But no old movie diseases or cancer dramas, thanks!

Halloween (shocker!)


B-Movies and Hammer films like Scream of Fear and Horror Hotel. Basically, if it's black and white and involves Christoper Lee I'm there. Of course I can't move on without mentioning FREAKS! and The Brain that Wouldn't Die...
Horror movies of most any genre-- the more twisted the characters the better. Gore isn't everything, but it's nice to see now and again.

LilyMortis and Tabitha:

and BJD and Blythe dolls and customizing them. I like my dolls to come to me a little creepy. It's harder for them to lull you into a false since of comfort and slit your throat one night while you're sleeping. Porcelain dolls need not apply.

Homemade props of any kind and genre. Gives me something to do.

Theatre, Roller Derby, animal rights, reptiles, tarantulas, dogs, Jane Austen, Project Runway, mail art, Poe, "Most Evil" bats, rats and black cats, crows, Halloween specials, autumn wind, the misery of those that crave warm weather when it turns cold,cemetaries, Rob Zombie and Robert Rodriquez

I huff pumpkin spice candles and love to play on the swings after dark.

Lycanthropy fascinates me, as do certain serial killers. Infamous cases, unsolved mysteries (Black Dahlia anyone? though according to "Most Evil" it's been semi-solved) especially-- give me a one hour special or documentary on them and I'm hooked.
Fictional killers (Buffalo Bill and Hannibal Lecter, Norman Bates)
Elizabeth Bathory

Dexter
The Addams Family

Kids
Blatant stupidity
Being ignored
The words "that's nice"
Eli Roth
Witch costumes (being dressed as a witch every year until age 8 will do that to you)

I'm total tombstone freak. I can't stop buying them once they hit the shelves or making them. Mini's and microminis especially. You never know when they could come in handy.

Fake blood-- makes an excellent thank you gift!

I love making little oddities for friends. I hate to categorize them as "crafts" but I guess that's what they are. Eyeball pens, dead terrariums, rats in tea cups, and baby doll ghoul-ups I think are where my talents lie.

My yard haunt, at least for the last few years, has been unofficially dubbed "Blackthorn Manor". This year, armed with an actual theme, instead of a bunch of random projects thrown here and there, Blackthorn Manor is super excited to bring to the world "Mumford Blackthorns' Nursery School for the Criminally Insane". We're hard core in the midst of ripping baby dolls to shreds and other ridiculously elaborate projects. Here's hoping we pull it off...
