Haunted Humpday -- Spooky Oktoberfest

For Marfi's Haunted Humpday, I show you the darker side of Munich's famous Oktoberfest -- the facades of the different tunnels of horror and other spooky rides. First of all, there's the Ride to Hell (Fahrt zur Hölle).

Demon heads are watching you.

Grim expressions on their faces.

The reaper is ready.

This green demon is trying to grap you.

See what awaits you.

Those fangs.

Enter if you dare.

Not just a skull -- a spider, too.

Encounter is a new show about an alien.

I like the industrial, almost Steampunk look.

Shocker has a fleshy look.

The faces look quite alive.

A skeleton is riding on a bike back and forth.

Nightmares assured.

Höllenblitz (Hell's Lightening) is another ride.

There's so much to discover on the facade.

Another tunnel of horror which I remember from my childhood.

Those creatures like to seesaw.

A cute owl.

This Frankenstein Monster was part of my childhood nightmares. These days he is just standing there, but when I was a child, he walked over to the woman who bowed down in horror.

A devilish face.

The ride's exit.

Another Geisterbahn (ghost train).

A witch holding up a mushroom.

A dragon rider.

I hope you enjoyed this spooky Oktoberfest visit.

Happy Haunted Humpday!

Haunted Humpday -- First Signs of Halloween

I recently found Marfi's wonderful blog Incipient Wings. Marfi also loves Halloween a lot and started to organize a weekly event called Haunted Humpday in 2013. Each Wednesday she posts something  that has to do with Halloween. That sounds like great fun, and so I glady join her for the first time today. A couple of days ago I saw this beautiful display of pumpkins at a local garden center. I just love pumpkins!

I usually grow decorative pumpkins in the garden. This year only two of them survived a massive snail attack.

It's quite a challenge to find nice Halloween decoration in Germany, but I was lucky to find a cute LED pumpkin necklace.

As I like the Old West as well as Native American culture, I had a couple of Leanin' Tree cards on display on my walls.

 

Now that Halloween is near, I decided to exchange the pictures for the time being. I chose my Wizard Owl, cute owl scrapbook paper, ...

 ... and my "Not Every Witch Lives in Salem Design."

In the living room, there are more Halloween pictures -- I love the vintage ones.

In my bedroom, I had more Leanin' Tree cards on display.

Now Xenia, the sweetest little witch and friends are spreading a festive Halloween mood.

Some more Halloween pictures, including ...

... my digital ATC titled "Halloween Love."

I also put up some Halloween pictures in my study.

Today I bought my first big pumpkin. It will be a fine Jack O'Lantern. 

I also found a limited Halloween edition (just the design that is) of flavored milk. That is quite unusual for the German market, so I definitely had to buy two bottles.

Happy Halloween indeed!

Lately, I made a KEEP CALM AND TRICK OR TREAT pendant. I am looking forward to wearing it.

I couldn't resist making a Malificent pendant. Malificent is one of my favorite movies from 2014 so far.

If you want to join the fun, be sure to visit Marfi's Incipient Wings blog -- lots of Halloween fun awaits you there.

Happy Haunted Humpday!
