Get into the Halloween spirit; all about trick or treating, spooky costumes, Halloween decorations and haunted houses for October 31st and all year round.
A Dragged Out Halloween. Third Place in Costume Contest Challenge.
2020 has been a difficult year for queer artists and the drag community on the worldwide stage. Physical shows had been cancelled worldwide and we all became bedroom queens —a queen who only creates drag in a private space, opposed to creating and sharing in live public forums. In response to this, drag queens and kings started to create online shows which swiftly became the new norm for our community with shows being streamed all over the internet and prominently on Facebook, Youtube and Twitch. Even now in October, many, many months since lockdown began, there are still online shows going on worldwide even if live performances are allowed in your local area. It truly does seem that digital drag is here to stay, at least for the meanwhile, and is the only way that I am personally able to perform due to lockdown restrictions on live performances in Scotland.

Tar Filled Heart
Cyrene floated in the current, drifting effortlessly along the coral reef. She once admired it for its beautiful, diverse colours. It had teemed with life, and different types of fish spilled in and out of every crevasse, a blossoming underwater garden. The reef served as a safe haven to many—Cyrene included. It was home to a colony of mermaids, of whom she called her own. For as long as she can remember, her mother ruled as Matriarch. As Cyrene grew older, position of Matriarch was passed along to her. The mermaids were her loved ones, and the reef was a sanctuary.

Samhain
Happy Samhain. The observance of change when the old year has passed, the harvest has been gathered, animals brought in from the fields and the leaves have fallen from the trees. The earth slowly begins to die around us and the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, allowing the spirits of the dead to travel again among the living and we welcome the dark part of the year. Beautiful!

The King Of The Forest
Once upon a time, very distant from society, a magical forest exists. A forest where all the creatures lived in peace, until two different species came wanting to take over; they fought over the years to try to rule the forest. they caused a lot of fears and worries around the forest creatures. the good ones praying to the gods for a savior and protector. But little do they know that their prayers will be answer quicker than they think. because on this Halloween 2020 a prophecy will come to effect. That a new king will emerge to rule over. A hybrid king, half tree and half rock more powerful than any creature. Nothing will come on his way and will save and protect all the forest creatures for ever.

Where Did Halloween Go?
Is the Loss of Halloween the Pandemic’s Fault? A lot of people are talking about how the pandemic may essentially cancel Halloween this year. Admittingly, I even wrote a post about it, saying as much too. Recently, I started to really think about it and realized that even before the pandemic happened, Halloween was starting to vanish.

My Composite Halloween Costume: A Smorgasbord of Terror
Given that 2020 has been so, so strange, I've decided that this year's Halloween costume needs to be a bit special. It's not been a normal year by anyone's standards, and 2020 deserves a costume that reflects that.

Facehugger DIY
Do you ever wonder what the actual source of inspiration is, and why it holds such power when it finds us? I certainly didn’t have the time, the money, or the know-how to make an Alien Facehugger mask, yet all it took was seeing a random Facebook ad for a shirt offering free hugs and portraying the Facehugger - and inspiration took hold. I decided that I was going to become Kane, the first victim of the creepy, arthropodic parasite, for Halloween.

Halloween: Origins and Traditions
Halloween in the UK The commercialisation of Halloween in the UK has happened in recent years. Certainly, it was never as popular as it is now, and it seems that retailers want to cash in on what has become an international celebration. Shops are full of mass-produced plastic goodies such as witches’ hats, bats, monster masks, giant spiders, face paints in so many colours… and much, much more. It is a stark difference from my 1980’s and 1990’s childhood where most British families frowned upon “Trick or Treating”. My family never missed an opportunity for a chance to dress up as a ghost or ghoul, so we were early adopters of this modern trend that had crossed the Atlantic. We would be taken out in the car to visit elderly friends and relatives, in exchange for a few sweets. It was something that my brother, my cousins, and I would look forward to and plan for what seemed like weeks. I did not realise how out-of-the-ordinary we were until I excitedly mentioned Halloween plans to a school friend, and I got admonished for lowering myself to the status of a common beggar. The word “evil” was also mentioned. I never spoke about Halloween at school again, and I even in adulthood, I have never discussed my path into Witchcraft with any of my childhood friends. Sometimes I wonder whether it is the great unspoken, that I have been a witch for 25 years, or whether they truly just don’t’ know.

Midnight Ride
The city burned, fire lighting up the night sky. Adelaide turned her head away. They would pay, whether with their lives or with grief and despair she did not care. She was close enough she could still feel the warmth of the blazes brushing her cheeks. “Let’s go, Shadow,” she whispered to her horse, nudging him with her knees. His huff could barely be heard as he obeyed, taking her further into the forest. The snapping of twigs beneath his feet echoed across the otherwise eerily silent woods. As they travelled, Adelaide thought of the events leading up to this midnight ride.

George Romero
Zombies have been such significant popularity for years. People have seen The Walking Dead. But then zombie films in my mind started due to the sense of one man, George Romero. He directed and created a black and white zombie film known as "Dawn of the Dead." He made many films following for over forty years. Creating his well-known series as "Night of the Living Dead Series." Romero is such an exciting filmmaker. This article will go over his life, his films, and what kept him well known as the god of zombies.
