The Laboratory

So, I'm pretty hard to scare when it comes to Halloween stuff. BUT...I can get creeped out, and let me tell you, this did it. My husband called and told me I needed to check out The Laboratory by 22769 at the GachaLand Spooktacular Event before coming home, and just...wow. This is seriously creepy, you guys. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I had entered an actual mad scientist's lab. As we looked around, I kept peeking over my shoulder, half expecting to see Frankenstein's creation sneaking up on me, or maybe even the doctor himself, wanting to use some of my parts.

I don't know what they used for the "bucket of guts" there on the floor, but guys...it looked real. So did the brain in a jar, as well as the bug & worm in jars. The tools...I think they were real. Everything was so well done, even the blood looked like actual blood. My assistant Nica couldn't even stay in there longer than a few minutes. Didn't realize she was so easily spooked.

If you get a chance to check this out, I highly HIGHLY recommend it. But don't wait too long, it'll be gone at the end of the month!

I hope you've enjoyed reading this. I'm going to relax, maybe take a bubble bath to sooth away the creep factor, and enjoy my night before flying home in the morning. Happy Halloween everyone!!

Funniest Halloween Decorations Ever

So originally I came to this little town because I had heard about their annual Haunted Warehouse, but, as luck would have it, it had to close down due to Covid the day before I arrived. Of course I was seriously bummed, but decided to wander around just to see all the decorations. Well, just walking through a neighborhood at the edge of town, you guys...I found Halloween GOLD. I started laughing so hard when I saw this that I could barely let my assistant know what I was laughing at. I could only point, and of course, when she saw, she started cracking up and agreed we just HAD to stop.

The house belongs to a sweet older lady who happily agreed to let us get pictures, and gave me permission to blog about her set up. Turns out she does something funny every year, just to remind people that laughter can be part of everything in life. This year she chose these hilarious skeletons from ::Ink Me:: at the GachaLand Event, and personally, I am SOOO glad she did. My assistant managed to snap this picture of me, still laughing as I was wandering around looking at them all. I hope you enjoy them even half as much as I did, because these are seriously the funniest Halloween decorations I've ever seen.

After a few minutes of looking around, and laughing, she brought us cups of her homemade apple cider, from her own apples (tree is in the background), and OMG it was the best. She said she simply couldn't let us leave without something to warm us up, and we were more than happy to oblige her. She was your stereotypical sweet grandma, guys. Apple cider, and even pumpkin brownies. Nica & I agreed that next year we absolutely HAVE to come back to see what she does.

With that, I'm going to end this, because with it's late, and I'm exhausted from all that walking. Note to self: get better walking shoes. Goodnight, dear readers. Stay safe!

 

Charming Little Cottage

For this trip I decided to do something a bit different, and instead of getting a hotel, I used AirBnB and rented this ADORABLE little cottage for me and my assistant. Guys, seriously, just LOOK at this living room!! It was so charmingly decorated by Dreamland Designs for the GachaLand Event and it's just too cute! This couch is huge! I mean, look. My assistant got a picture of me sprawled out, and I'm DWARFED by it. And OMG is it ever comfortable!

I spent a few minutes after we arrived just wandering around, looking at the pictures. They're so nice! I mean, the whole setup is just awesome. I'm thinking I might have to go AirBnB some more in the future. We have this entire cottage all to ourselves for the next few days. It's GREAT!

Ok guys, I'm gonna end this here for now. I know it's a bit shorter than normal, but I'm tired after the flight. Tomorrow I'm gonna start wandering around and seeing how things are set up in this city for autumn, and Halloween. HALLOWEEN!! Ohhhh it's my favorite time of year! I can't wait to show you all the things I see! Everyone take care!
