one last Halloween thing!

(The giveaway linkies are HERE!)



Still in the mood for mini books--okay, yes, I'm always in the
mood for mini books! Here is one inspired by the Gingersnap
Creations Horror Stories challenge. Was thinking of going
with classic horror stories, but ended up with the old horror
movies from the 1930s. There were many, many of them produced
then, but it wasn't too difficult to narrow it down to the basics.

You know the basic Halloween horror favorites-- Dr. Jekyll & Mr.
Hyde, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Werewolf of London &
Wolfman, the Invisible Man. But I did include a few other films:
Freaks, because I remember seeing it on TV when I was young, and it
scared me silly, plus Murder in the Rue Morgue, as a nod to Edgar
Allen Poe, who is credited with not only creating the horror genre,
but also writing the first murder mystery. A dubious honor, perhaps.

Kept the pages simple--the design and colors of the movie posters are
fabulous, and I wanted that to be the focal point of each layout.
This is a pretty long post--lots of layouts, and I'm not even boring
you with all of them! The cover has an orange glaze over some spots
made with rubbing ink through sequins waste holes, plus some violet
spray enamel. You can really see the sheen in this pic:


The chandelier is a wall decal, and there's a little glitter/
black microbeads, some satin ribbon. The letters are from a
vintage stamp set.
