8th Year Anniversary Blog

Happy 8th anniversary to me!

I cannot believe it’s been 8 years. I know, I haven’t been writing much in the last year. It’s been tough to find time, and honestly, to even feel creative some days, with so much negativity and uncertainty in the world. I hate what’s happening to our country and loathe the evil criminals in charge. Who needs scary movies when the real life horrors are neverending.

But, as I stated many times, this isn’t a political blog, it’s a Halloween blog, and a safe space for like-minded individuals. I just want to celebrate and share my love for Halloween, horror and all things spooky.

Save the earth! It’s the only planet with pumpkins!

My haiku comes straight out of my own little noggin. There’s no AI use here for my poetry or words. These poems, good and bad, are all mine and I’ve got receipts! I’m honestly a little scared about how AI might affect Halloween 2026. Sometimes it’s cool and sometimes it’s slop. At first, I gave it a chance, but I’m beginning to see the danger it poses, especially to the climate. So, I’ve decided to go AI free this Halloween season!

The one thing I’ve been slacking on this year is movie lists. If you’re looking for horror movie suggestions, I make lists that I’ve curated myself, meaning I spent hours watching and rewatching to see if I want to add said movie to my list. Last year was a banner year for horror and my own list of favorite horror movies has expanded. I’m gonna put a new spooky list up soon so check back!

I want to thank you for stopping by my little blog and giving your attention, time and energy. I hope you enjoyed reading my haiku and my old blog posts, some of which still hold up, like the one below:

6 More Things to Do When It’s not Halloween

Bring on more Halloween!

Monthly Haiku Corner – April 2026

April is the halfway point to Halloween! It’s also Earth Month. The easiest way to celebrate both is too plant new pumpkins for the upcoming Halloween season!

blue skies and white clouds
planting jack o lanterns
from seed to smile

Be safe out there.

Monthly Haiku Corner – March 2026

March has been a little rough, but I have a new haiku to share, celebrating both St. Patrick’s Day and the recent horror show that is the United States. Not everything that glitters is gold.

beware the trickster
whose only concern is gold
death is imminent

Be safe out there.

Monthly Haiku Corner – February 2026

This year, I’m returning to my roots and posting simple horror haiku.

snow moon bears witness
murder, rape, and dark chaos
heartbroken fools

Monthly Haiku Corner – January 2026

This year, I’m returning to my roots and posting simple horror haiku.

ICE cold hands
shocking murder in plain sight
dead of winter

Monthly Haiku Corner – December

You better watch out.
You better not pout.
You better not cry,
or you’ll give your hiding spot away.

Our theme this month is A Christmas to Dismember and it pairs perfectly with December’s cold moon, aptly named for the dip in temperatures. Winter is coming….but if ask any left american, it’s been here since last January.

a Christmas to Dismember
hiding from Santa

Be safe out there.

Monthly Haiku Corner – November

Happy November! It’s been a minute since this country has had any hope, but last night showed the world that Americans see through the lies of greedy evil conmen. A battle was won but maggots have declared war on our own country. This fight is far from over. We must stand tall like trees and trust in our deep roots.

November’s full moon is a Beaver moon, the biggest brightest supermoon of the year, and I have hope that it will light the way for lost souls well into next year.

forest trees stand tall
lost souls searching through the fog
misty fall morning

Be safe out there.

Monthly Haiku Corner – October

Happy October! We are a haunted nation, full of demons masquerading as god’s children, in places we never dreamed, doing things we don’t want to imagine.

Resist evil.

October’s full moon is the first supermoon of the year, a harvest moon, named for time of year when crops are plentiful. Too bad no one is around to pick them.
