This is Halloween, Everybody Make a Scene

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

 

Without a doubt, Halloween has become the most celebrated event of the year for almost everyone I know. It's the time when we all get together and have fun, being what we want to be and reliving some of the childhood of Halloweens past. Of course, a lot of our 'treats' are a little more grown up, now...

And what would Halloween be without lots and lots of goodies from the neighbors? As usual, SL pull out all the stops and fills the month of October with more events, new items and gifts than you can shake a Pixy Stix at. I dove in to the fray with several new offerings for both the Goths and Gothlings

First off is the much-anticipated return of Horrorfest. The three-week event is back after a hiatus and The crew has pulled out all the stops to make sure the comeback is a memorable one. Dozens of vendors from around Second Life have come together to bring you a sim full of amazing items for all your Goth, Horror and Halloween needs.

 Every vendor has at least one brand-new item with all proceeds going to the Epilepsy Therapy Project, as well as many more with new items donating 25-75% to the charity. There is also an eerily beautiful gacha graveyard filled with even more items
I decided to go back to my 'roots' for this event. As much as I enjoy the challenge of working with mesh clothing, I absolutely love making jewelry. I found the perfect centerpiece to work from, and it all came together beautifully. 

 The Death's Grip set comes in five colors, and are packaged as a set and earrings and choker separates) with a complete pack of all colors for each. The 'Death' color is a Horrorfest exclusive with 100% of sales for all three options going to charity. All other colors and complete packs donate 50% of sales to charity and will be available after the event both in-world and the Marketplace.
The gacha items is a hand fan in nine colors. Sculpted prim fans with a mesh skull grip, scripted to open and close on touch. The rare prize is a complete set of all nine colors.

 Landmarks for the main booth and the gacha are available at the store by clicking the Horrorfest sign in the New Releases section.




Horrorfest is also holding the Grande Olde Halloween Horrorfest Hunt for the duration of the event, with over 70 Horrorfest merchants participating The 1L hunt object is a jack-o-lantern pumpkin. My prize for the hunt is a sixth color of the Death's Grip jewelry set, 'Sepia'.

A hint is available on the hunt sign at the top of the stairs.



Several bloggers have already showcased the Death's Grip set, and each one of them have stunningly beautiful pictures for us.

Thank you, each and every one of you. I'll update this list and Plurk each new post during the event.

Isabelli Anatine of Uncertain Smile Poses is holding a Spooky Times Halloween event at her store, and was gracious enough to let me join in. 
For the event, I've created a new set of mesh backpacks called 'Don't Fear the Reaper'. A Grim Reaper pattern in six colors with a matching metal skull dangle, 100% unrigged mesh resizable for both Goths and Gothlings.
The orange backpack is a free Halloween gift and only available until the end of the event.  All other colors are sold as separates or a complete pack of five. They will be available after the event both in-world and the Marketplace.

Not quite done with the Halloween goodies yet! There are three more gifts I've out out for the Halloween season.

This first is a seventh color of the Death's Grip jewelry set, available as a Midnight Mania prize. The board is set to auto-deliver when the target is reached, and will be available on the board until I have something new to put up.


Next is two Halloween freebies, one for the grown-ups and the other for the Gothlings of all ages.

Hoodoo Voodoo Corset Piercing









Skully Hair Bow - Orange








Both are on the floor in the Discounted & Freebies for 0L until Halloween.
