Happy Creeptastic Halloween!

Walk Into My Parlor

by Mary Howitt

 

“Will you walk into my parlor?"
said the spider to the fly;
"Tis the prettiest little parlor that you ever did spy.
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to show when you are there."
"Oh no, no!" said the little fly,
"to ask me is in vain;
For who goes up your winding stair
can never come down again."

Happy Halloween!

 

 

 

Eat, Drink and Be Scary!

Love these creeptastic quotes!

One need not be a chamber to be haunted; One need not be a house; The brain has corridors surpassing Material place. ~Emily Dickinson

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
~William Shakespeare

On Halloween, witches come true;
Wild ghosts escape from dreams.
Each monster dances in the park....
~Nicholas Gordon

As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there/He wasn't there again today...Oh, how I wish he'd go away. ~Anonymous

'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world. ~William Shakespeare

 As spirits roam the neighborhoods at night,
Let loose upon the Earth till it be light...
~Nicholas Gordon

 

Tribute to Halloween -- Creepy Movie Quotes

My tribute to Halloween…popular, scary movie quotes from classic movies. What are some of your favorite creepy movie quotes? Or which one of these do you like best?
 

She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you? (Norman Bates - Psycho)

Close your eyes and count to seven, when you wake you'll be in heaven. (Chucky - Child's Play 2)  

The only person that I let in on the fact that I was still alive was a six-year-old kid. I'm gonna be six years old again. Well, John, it's been fun, but I gotta go. I have a date with six-year-old boy... and you have a date with death. (Chucky - Child's Play)  

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blind, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the DEVIL'S eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... EVIL! (Dr. Sam Loomis - Halloween)  

I'm gonna split you in two. (Fred Krueger - A Nightmare on Elm Street)  

A boy's best friend is his mother. (Norman Bates - Psycho)  

Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make. (Vlad Dracula - Dracula) [about the wolves that are howling] 

The Divine Kitty Litter Cake!

This recipe is worth repeating. As horrific as the picture looks, it's really a fun party cake in disguise! It's a great treat for your Halloween gathering. Everyone I know who has made one or eaten it absolutely loves it. Try it for yourself and have fun with it!

Recipe

Ingredients:

1 spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
2 large packages vanilla instant pudding mix, prepared
1 large package vanilla sandwich cookies
green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Roll candies

1 new kitty litter pan
1 new kitty litter pan liner
1 new pooper scooper

 

Directions:

1.    Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).

2.    Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.

3.    Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix until completely colored.

4.    When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. Important: mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it too soggy. Combine gently.

5.    Line a new, clean kitty litter box. Put the cake/pudding/cookie mixture into the litter box.

6.    Put 3 unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly on top of everything -- this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.

7.    Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top. For the fininshing touch take a couple Tootsie Rolls and heat until pliable, hang over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few cookie crumbs around for a truly disgusting effect!

8.    Notes: some people use half the amount of pudding…your choice. You can use any kind of cake mix since the topping will cover it.
