IT'S THE SPOOKIEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR.......

Time to celebrate "All Hallows Eve"--HALLOWEEN......

 You might think that Dolly Parton is going to the party, but that is just me in the first step of creating my costume.....

 Since Dwight and I are going a members of the Venetian nobility in the latter Renaissance.....

 And The Count of Monte Cristo (or Casanova, if you prefer) says:  "I've got to get me some of that "Contessa" action........

 Soon we arrive at the spooky domain of the Montoya home.......

 Loaded with our contribution of Fangtastic donuts............

 The cast of characters:  Linda, the Good Green Witch of the Haunted Forest

 Her hubby Tim, a spooky clown...(check out that sinister action going on behind him)......

 Our Hostess Extraordinaire, Annabelle--how many blackbirds is she baking in that pot?

 Speaking of creepy ingredients for "meat pies", the Dread Pirate Waymundo is on R&R in London Town and his Sweeney Todd sweetie, Eileen,  has some sinister plans for him......

 "I'll get you, my Pretty!  And your little dog too!"  hisses Josina the Wicked Witch of the West.......

 He's a wonderful host, but Adolfo is also a creepy clown......

 The Capshaws are finding Venice a bit more spooky than they remembered it.........

 That cheerful Demon fan, Theresa, has morphed into Carrie and is taking her revenge at the prom.....

"I vant to drink your blood"--I don't know if vampiress, Terrie, was speaking to us or to her Carwash Man husband Richie--who I didn't get a picture of.........

 But the décor is fascinating....

 And the food is divine....

 Though a bit scary......

 But that doesn't keep the guests from sampling......

 "Gulp.....I wonder what's in this porridge?"........

 Let the festivities continue.....

 And the apparitions keep parading.....

 HALLOWEEN GOTHIC........

 "Hey pretty sailor boy, wanna stroll down the Victoria Embankment?".....

 "Shiver me timbers!, I don't know what to do!"......

Meanwhile, the Count and Countess are finding Venice to be a hazardous place to party.......

 And those devious clowns talk shop......

 My sad little Mammo-Grahms--I got the recipe
 from the Natl. Breast Cancer site, and dutifully made cute little breasts of varying complexions from faux-marzipan, but somehow, they turned out to be neither cute nor delicious..................

 "Hey, Roxanne........................"

 "Your boyfriend 's got a big nose!"............

 The feasting continues--especially on Annabelle's three gourmet soups......

 Look through the smoke to see what these three conjured up........

 Some delicious Witches' Warts that Linda made.........

 "Gee, I wonder what was in those Witches' Warts?"...............

 "Double, Double--Toil and Trouble....."

 Sometimes if you want something done, a girl has to do it herself...............

 Until a courtly Count lends a hand.....

 All too soon, the hour gets late, and we must leave the splendid home of our friends.......

But come All Hallows Eve..............

And especially if there's a Witches' Moon.................be prepared for haunting.........................................BOO!
