Monthly Haiku Corner – September

Happy September and welcome back ‘Ber months! Our favorite time of year has returned and Halloween events are already in full swing. As more and more people fall in love Halloween and the Fall season, celebrations start sooner and last longer. Technically, there’s 20 days of Summer left and the unbearable heat could stick around, well into Novemeber. Still, nothing can damper our spirits. Imagine, waking up, looking out window and seeing the perfect Autumn day. This month’s theme is Autumn Windows.

Monthly Haiku Corner – August

Just returned from Midsummer Scream, a Halloween and horror convention that takes place in Long Beach, CA every year, and I’m all ready to keep the celebrations going! I’m not the only one. Technically we still have another month before the official Halloween season starts, but preparations start now. So, what happens when a group of pumpkins on their way to the Halloween bash get lost at beach? Let the shenanigans begin! This month’s theme is Summerween!

Monthly Haiku Corner – July

Happy July! Summer is in full swing and Halloween countdown is on. Code orange alerts (fan notifications of retailers displaying seasonal products) are already being reported. America will soon be celebrating its 247 birthday and there’s nothing more American than the zombie film.

Chicago born director, Victor Halperin introduced audiences to the Haitian mythos of zombies when White Zombie opened in 1932, and in 1968, New York filmmaker George A Romero changed the Hollywood landscape forever with his first horror film, Night of the Living Dead. Yes, indeed, the zombies as American as Apple pie, which is why the theme this month is Red, White, and Ghoul. All haiku in July will connect to tell the story of a good ole fashioned American zombie apocalypse.
