halloween goodies

Following in the tradition of Glenn’s excellent Halloween related posts I thought I’d add my own trio of terror to the proceedings.

First up, the always diabolical Krispy Kreme.

Not content with occasionally invading my dreams with pre-Body For Life visions of eating 1/2 dozen fresh, hot, original glazed on my way to work, now they’ve gone and made a Halloween doughnut.

Junk Food Blog explains:

They’re the classic yeast-raised doughnuts that Krispy Kreme is known for, but are cut into pumpkin shapes near the beginning of the doughnut making process. Finally they’re coated with creamy orange icing and stamped with a jack-o-lantern face.

Next, I’ll take you back a few years in Cash’s life. 

About two years ago, some friends of mine and I decided we wanted to visit a real life Hell House.  For those of you unfamiliar, Hell House (which I believe originated here in Denver) is a ‘haunted house’ put on by a church.  Instead of traditional ghouls and goblins though, its mission was to scare moral obedience into impressionable teens with scenes of drunk drivers, abortions, drug overdoses, all kinds of fun.

In trying to track one down, I came across this site. 

We spent hours laughing at the descriptions of the rooms (click around the blueprint) until one of us discovered it was a satire.  Then we laughed again.  Truly classic work. 

Finally, something truly spooky for the season.

There are several stories of real life hauntings which have given me the ‘heeby jeebies’ over the years.  Perhaps none more so though than the terrifying tale of the Smurl family and their disturbing experiences during the 80’s. 

Happy Halloween.
