Halloween on the Web : Season of Shadows
I’ve been following Season of Shadows on Twitter for a long time, and they always have interesting and innovative articles about Halloween and all things spooky. From the SoS website:
This is supernatural. This is paranormal. This is Halloween – the time of year where the ethereal door is left ajar, exposing the passageway between the living and the dead. All shadows, all shapes, all objects bathed in moonlight become suspect. Can you be certain, between the howling of the wind and the crunching of the leaves, there isn’t something ghostly walking among us?
SeasonofShadows.com serves as a vehicle, traversing the landscape of All Hallow’s Eve and the subject matter that inspires its celebration – from the paranormal to the supernatural.

Halloween on the Web : VintageHalloween.com
Part of the charm of Halloween today is the Halloween of yesterday, especially in the first 50 years of the 20th century. The art and imagery are singular and unmistakable, and for many a Halloween devotee, original collectibles from that era have taken on near-sacred status.
VintageHalloween.com is a great resource for Halloween decorations in general, but in particular for recreations and reprints of vintage-era decor, postcards and other collectibles. On occasion, they even have the genuine articles for sale!

As promised, the Cult will (attempt to) post one Halloween-themed website per day that keeps the Spirit of Halloween alive all year long. Our inaugural post comes to us via House Bloodthorn via our Facebook Fan Page:
PUMPKIN ROT, an amazing record of one person’s passage from child to adult Halloween-lover, and how that childhood love of the magic and mystery of Halloween informed the adult he became. This guy so gets it. From his Prologue page:
“When my age restricted me from collecting candy on Halloween night (in any socially acceptable manner), I decided to do something about it. Halloween was the thrill of the year. It beat Christmas hands down. The entire night was spent unsupervised with your friends. Your face would be icy wet under a cheap plastic mask with a stapled rubber band strap. Your arms would be sore from a pillowcase loaded with candy…”
PumpkinRot.com hosts some of the most incredible Halloween imagery you will ever find, all created for their annual Halloween yard haunt displays. The Great Pumpkin salutes the amazing Jack O’ Lanterns and scarecrows on display on this site. They are astonishing.
Even better, they sell some of their creations.
So PumpkinRot.com, The Cult of the Great Pumpkin salutes and thanks you for making Halloween a better place, and we’re proud to start this series of posts with your site.
