It’s my anniversary month!

I started this blog seven years ago to channel my anger and frustration. After the last election, I thought I could steer my negative energies towards creativity again, but I seem to be running full-tilt daily instead. Some days it feels like we’re living in a real live horrorshow.

But this isn’t a political blog, it’s a Halloween blog, and a safe space for like-minded individuals. To have survived this long seems like a miracle. It’s not big or popular, I’m no influencer, but I’m not trying to be either. In fact, I basically quit on social media. I’m not interested in what people are selling. Period. I just want to celebrate and share my love for Halloween, horror and all things spooky.

I can’t believe it’s been 7 years though. I had to go back and look up the date of my first post. I mean I didn’t even post on my actual anniversary, so, you know, life happens. This year, there’s no grand celebration. No contest. No prizes (that was getting really expensive with diminishing returns), no, this year I’ve decided to lay low and let the haiku and spooky posts do all the talking.

Halloween Horror Haiku blog has changed a lot, and in some ways, not at all. I’ve changed the name, the look, the logo, I’ve experimented with different formats and tried out different social media platforms, but no matter what creative road I go down, my Halloween haiku is still front and center.

So, whether you’re a new reader or you’ve been with me for the last seven years, I thank you for giving me your time and energy. I hope to be a light in the window and bring more Halloween happiness in these times of uncertainty!
