Vintage Halloween Schlitz Ads
Came across a couple of ads from the 1950's for Schlitz—a beer from Milwaukee that was once widely popular, now mostly known regionally by folks from the Midwest (e.g. my ghoulfriend's Wisconsinite family).
I just thought these were fun, given the Halloween imagery and my partner's ties to Wisconsin. I grabbed these images from some old eBay listings; they're decently high quality. I might even print them out and hang them up!
If you'd like, click on each image for a "full-res" version. Might take a second to load.

Pumpkins Spotted!
Very tempting to buy and carve some now, but jack-o'-lanterns don't usually last too long in Florida. The constant heat, humidity, and rain causes them to kind of... melt.

It's time
"I'm normally a stickler on dusting this one off before the threat of hot days have passed, but this year I'm appealing to the feeling over the calendar. It’s time folks" - Sam Heimer, original artist |

Pumpkinrot 2024 teaser: HAXAN
Rot and Jenna just released a teaser for their Halloween 2024 display, entitled "HAXAN"
I'm stoked. There are few creators that can garner such excitement from me just by showing a single prop. It looks wicked!
Click below for the teaser trailer on Instagram:
100 days until Halloween 2024!

Summerween
To me, Summerween is all about celebrating the wait for Halloween and accepting summer as a necessary part of that wait. We're enjoying our favorite parts of summer -swimming, eating popsicles and watermelon, cooking out, spending time outside with friends- and doing a couple Halloween-y activities to scratch the itch. It feels like a throwback to Summer Vacation as a kid (except for the beer). Instead of fighting summer, we embrace it, enjoy it, and declare, "This is how Halloween people do it!"
