Happy DEADvent! On this auspicious Friday the 13th, thirteen days of terror can commence!

Introducing Sadie's 13-Day DEADvent Calendar

Be safe and stay strong.

Leftover Candy: A Living Dead Dolloween Encore

Halloween never ends that quickly or easily for me, and I have to let myself savor. I'm ready to keep on with the year's events and festivities, but it's always hard to let go and cut off the spooky season right on the last day.
