It was moved to it’s present location in 1934, which is located on the corner of Walden Drive and Carmelita in Beverly Hills, California.

The Spadena House name received it’s name from it’s first residential owners but has always truly been known as the Witch House. The house is now owned by Michael Libow, which he purchased in 1998 and set to the renovations that you will see today. The renovations took some 10 years to complete.

This house receives over 3500 Trick or Treater’s every year for Halloween!!

Here are some photos of the house, starting with the oldest photos first.

This year will be it’s 3rd annual event and I have decided I’m going!! I will need to start saving money and selling artsy stuff to do it but I’ve made up my mind and I already bought the event tickets.
The only thing that will stop me is a family emergency or some other financial emergency.

Ed Roberts, the founder of WCHC and his minions are still working out some details for Make and Takes, seminars, etc but it should be off the hook!!

WCHC will be June 1-3rd 2012 and will be at the Doubletree Hilton Hotel in Portland, Oregon.

I’ve been wanting another tattoo for some time now and know what I want but need to save up the money, when I’m not saving up the money for other ‘life important’ things. Heh!
Thought I would go do a search about and see if I can find some cool, or at least what I deem as cool, Halloween’ish tattoo’s.

First for the Tattoo I want to get a version of…

I love creepy tree’s and haunted houses. When I saw the above photo I was in instant love with it. Having said I love creepy tree’s and haunted houses, you may see a bit of a theme in some of the photo’s coming next…

Not Halloween but it’s an awesome Mad Hatter

Most of this post will have nothing to do with actual Christmas’y Creepmas, but instead it will be creepy food related items. How can you not have a Skull cake at Creepmas?

How about some Sushi!! I love sushi and could eat it every dang day. But… I think I would be a bit hesitate to try this:

Ok, Ok… back to Cake…

Now we have to have the proper Silverware to eat these wonderful foods with…

The last many years the major retail stores have been selling black Christmas tree’s. It makes me smile.

I found this Christmas tree photo on Flickr, with a green tree. I believe a black tree would look much better:

Halloween Christmas tree

I must say… in looking around on the interwebs I am disappointed in what I find for Creepy/Spooky Christmas tree’s. Seems that everything Spooky Christmas decorations related has something to do with Nightmare Before Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Burton, but we have got to come up with something else.
