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.

There is nothing more disturbing as having to identify your friend or loved one from the morgue. Trying to recognize their special freckle, scar or tattoo through a mangled body. Not a pretty picture is it?
So why would you want to put your loved ones through this? Better yet, why would you expect them to bail you out of jail because you decided you were not that drunk or high and could drive. You come out of your stupor with not only a hangover but behind bars and labeled a murderer.

Drama queening over. My Birthday is Sunday, which is New Years and my wish is for you all to be safe and have a blast!!! Find your designated driver now, save up your cab fair or find out if they are offering free fares that evening. I wanna hear about your awesome times or quiet evenings at home with friends. Don’t blow it…. plan ahead! Most of all… watch out for all the idiots that think they aren’t too drunk to drive. Call them in if you see them on the roads.

Love you guys!

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
