Ms Harker is on Horror Holiday…

Greetings and Salutations.

Quick note to let you know that,  I, Ms Harker am currently taking a break from blogging across the holiday period. I will return early in the New Year with a retrospective look at horror in 2009, whilst also sharing some of my holiday reading which has included Stephen King’s ‘Under the Dome‘, ‘The Morganville Vampires’ and an assortment of graphic novel delights. In the meantime have yourselves a haunting holiday period and a fangtastic New Year celebration!

Halloween Hoedown at the Harker Household!

Twas the afternoon before Halloween and all through the house Ms Harker and JH were hanging cobwebs, bats, spiders, and shrunken heads. The pumpkin was carved looking a little bung-eyed, it was not important it was imperfect the point is we tried!

The Skeleton sprinkle were laid out with care, the dips were prepared, an eyeball here a severed finger there…

So the decorations were up, the table was set now it was time to strap into to my corset. I’d applied my white make up with finesse and care (hilarity ensued as the colour difference to my natural tone was next to nowhere!), painted black around the eyes, blood red to the lips, though the outfit as not exact my impression of Vampira was a decent hat tip!

The guests started to arrive, they all had the Halloween spirit, we had Zombies and Vampires, Pirates and Bush Rangers and even a jar of  Vegemite ISnack 2.0 (for those of you off shore an epic fail of a product that mixed cream cheese into the Aussie icon and then rang a comp to give it a naff name!).

The ladies looked gothically gorgeous, the men scary and gruesome too, some were engrossed in their character finding victims to chew. Despite the level of inebriation we remembered to sing to JH a raucous ‘Happy Birthday’ to you!

So now in the quiet of my hangover, a cheeseburger ingested, I think back to last night with grin and a smile, that our house was Halloween Horror infested and we did it with style.

This Indpendence Day, save a thought for the Zombie American.

This fourth of July, America’s Independence day. As you celebrate freedom, rights and the American way. As you eat your barbecued baby back ribs and coleslaw washed down with a Budweiser. Save a thought for the oppressed, the less fortunate in society. Save a thought for the Zombie American…
