Incense for Halloween 2022
Decided to implement incense into this year's display -- a first time thing for me. I was inspired by Pumpkinrot's use of incense in 2020, so I decided to go with the same vendor he used: Plant Guru.
They smell very strong, which is a good thing. I went with Clove and Pumpkin Spice scents. Rot used big piles of cones in cauldrons to make this awesome smoke (and smell!) effect. I've opted for sticks, which I'm going to try sticking in pumpkins, just to give a little spicy scent to the haunt. We'll see how it goes!
Click here to buy incense from Plant Guru. Free and fast shipping and relatively inexpensive for the quality! I'll definitely be using them again.

Now Watching: Over The Garden Wall
I've been needing a comfort watch, and there's nothing comfier than Over The Garden Wall.
If you haven't seen it, I recommend avoiding any trailers, as going into it blindly really adds to the viewing experience (you'll see what I mean). If you want a glimpse into the concept, click here for a spoiler-free post I made last year.
If you'd like to watch the first chapter of the two-hour-long miniseries, Cartoon Network has published it on YouTube. The rest of the show can be streamed with a Hulu or HBO Max subscription, or by purchasing on Prime Video. (I have also seen it available in DVD form at public libraries)
Watch the first episode for free below:

Prometheus Esoterica
Went to Prometheus Esoterica today, the local oddities shop. It's a great little store, jam-packed with weird stuff and neat merchandise.
Just about everything on the shelves and walls was for sale. Lots of books, old medical equipment, and preserved specimens. Also some cool merchandise from local vendors.
All the specimens and skulls (both animal and human) are real.

Listening to: Left for Dead
New album release from Halloween at High Noon. I look forward to their annual release every year. I really like this one; many of the tracks remind me of the "classic" HaHN albums.
