Except, this time, more on the spooky side

There's going to be coffins and other props from a haunted house AS WELL AS A FREAKIN' HEARSE. I am *SO* excited about getting pictures taken with a hearse! Eeeee!

Here's a photo I took earlier this year that's kind of on the Halloween side. It's a larger, color version of my user icon. It was just supposed to be a pin-up-and-a-car photo, but I brought props to turn it into a horror drive-in theme! I sure wish I had had my $30 skeleton from Walgreens in May... Would have looked much cooler with a lifesize skelly. I can't wait to find an excuse to wear that skirt again this year! It has a bunch of the classic monsters on it. (It's not as short as it looks, by the way.. haha)

I think I want to try to work on a mummy outfit.

Nice pics and cool concept. Looks like it will be a yummy mummy lol.

So that picture is actually you? Makes mental note NOT to show the girlfriend to whom the Headless Horseman is headed....

She's already thinks I'm flirting when talking to women in the store aisles about where better deals are when browsing Halloween merchandise. This might get me punched.

Love the photo above - (Love it even better in black and white!) Where'ed you find that skirt? I have no idea why I'm asking that, but it looks pretty awesome.

Still think you ought to put together a Halloween pin-up calendar! You did an awesome job with the photos last year!

I'd love to do a calendar! But, sadly, paying to get pictures taken is an expensive hobby.

(Maybe some awesome Halloween pin-up-loving ladies on here would like to collaborate?

)

Maybe hook up with an aspiring photographer and work out a trade? Since this would end up being published, maybe some would do it for the tearsheets?

Hmmm, sometimes turning a hobby into a business takes all the fun out of it. But I would pay a fair bit for a Halloween pin-up calendar. (Every year I buy the Elvgren calendar - but do you think they ever include Riding High - NOOOOoooooo! :P ) Uruk-Hai does up a calendar for us Canadian Haunters each year - he might know what the price breakdowns are. Maybe you could do a kickstarter project?

Anyway, most important - just have fun with the shoot (Was it stressful last time around?) And thanks for the link to the skirt! And the photo! You're awesome.
