My 15yo made a leech mask for #Halloween. Color me impressed. And terrified.

A person is wearing a large, artistic mask that resembles a monstrous fish or creature, with sharp teeth and a glowing light inside its dark mouth. They are dressed casually in a plaid shirt and layered necklaces. The background features soft, neutral tones.

Looking for more spicy audiobooks for spooky season? 🎃

My Wife The Witch is another Size Fantasy I narrated for Amber Collins.

A naughty witch shrinks her husband to fit the dollhouse where she keeps four enchanted, doll-sized girlfriends — and then keeps shrinking!

This story goes hard, harder than most of my catalogue, so I will put content warnings in the next post in the thread.

If you like erotica with witches, magic, and a degree of peril, this might be for you!

Get yourself in the Halloween spirit with this spicy story. 😉

Available in audiobook format on Amazon, Audible an Apple Books. Also available in ebook format on Amazon.

Halloween's always a good excuse to draw up some comics. I've got a few more planned before the big day, but here's my take on the headless horseman.

#headlesshorseman #halloween #HalloweenComic #Halloween2025 #comic #jackolantern #mastoart #comictober

The headless horseman, but with a tiny pumpkin head is pouting and saying, "they ran out of the normal size, ok?"
A crow is flying by and down in the bottom left there are some jack-o-lanterns

But gin the auld fowks’ tales are richt
An’ ghaists come hame on Hallow nicht,
O freend o’ freends! what wad I gie
To feel ye rax yer hand to me
Atween the dark an’ caun’le-licht?

—Violet Jacob, “Hallowe’en”
first published in COUNTRY LIFE, 1920

Jacob’s only son, Harry, was killed at the Somme in 1916

Hallowe’en
Violet Jacob

The tattie-liftin’s nearly through,
They’re ploughin’ whaur the barley grew,‍‍
And aifter dark, roond ilka stack,‍‍
Ye’ll see the horsemen stand an’ crack
O Lachlan, but I mind o’ you!

I mind foo often we hae seen
Ten thoosand stars keek doon atween‍‍
The nakit branches, an’ below‍‍
Baith fairm an’ bothie hae their show,
Alowe wi’ lichts o’ Hallowe’en.

There’s bairns wi’ guizards at their tail
Clourin’ the doors wi’ runts o’ kail,‍‍
And fine ye’ll hear the skreichs an’ skirls‍‍
O’ lassies wi’ their droukit curls
Bobbin’ for aipples i’ the pail.

The bothie fire is loupin’ het,
A new heid horseman’s kist is set‍‍
Richts o’ the lum; whaur by the blaze‍‍
The auld ane stude that kept yer claes—
I canna thole to see it yet!

But gin the auld fowks’ tales are richt
An’ ghaists come hame on Hallow nicht,‍‍
O freend o’ freends! what wad I gie‍‍
To feel ye rax yer hand to me
Atween the dark an’ caun’le licht?

Awa in France, across the wave,
The wee lichts burn on ilka grave,‍‍
An’ you an’ me their lowe hae seen—‍‍
Ye’ll mebbe hae yer Hallowe’en
Yont, whaur ye’re lyin’ wi’ the lave.

There’s drink an’ daffin’, sang an’ dance
And ploys and kisses get their chance,‍‍
But Lachlan, man, the place I see‍‍
Is whaur the auld kist used to be
And the lichts o’ Hallowe’en in France!

The Grey Paw (Spòg liath)

In the big church of Beauly (Eaglais mhor na manachain, i.e. of the Monastery) mysterious and unearthly sights and sounds were seen and heard at night, and none who went to watch the churchyard or burial-places within the church ever came back alive…

See, that's why influencers do everything a month in advance. I had an idea for this unicorn Halloween costume but it's pouring outside so nobody will get to see it. Well, at least you'll get to see it.

I have an interview with a candidate in 5 minutes. It's #Halloween, and I'm dressed as a rainbow unicorn. I have no idea if that's a good first impression or a bad first impression. 😀 I guess we will find out.

Reverse Trick Or Treating (aka the Greatest Halloween Costume Ever). https://docpop.org/2009/11/the-greatest-halloween-costume-ever/ #HAlloween

An 8 panel comic. The title says "The Most Amazing Halloween Costume Ever based on a story by np312 art by Doctor Popular" The first panel shows a kid dressed up as Spock and sitting on a couch in his home when the doorbell rings. The text says "One Halloween our doorbell rang". The next panel shows him opening the door, expecting to see trick or treaters. The next panel reveals a door on the other side of the kid's door. A sign says "Please knock". The kid knocks twice on this pop-up door and then it opens, revealing a bunch of college dudes dressed as really old grandmothers. "Oh my, look at your costumes" one of the grandmas says as they pinc the face of the the young kid. The grandmother adds, "Such cute trick or treaters" before handing the kid some candy. The college kids then close their door, pick it up, and move it to the next house leaving the young Spock in shock at what just happened.

Oidhche Shamhna – a South Uist Halloween

Ethnomusicologist, photographer, folklorist, & scholar Margaret Fay Shaw (1903–2004) recorded a traditional Hebridean Halloween on South Uist in the 1930s, in photographs & on film – via the National Trust for Scotland

A black and white image of two children dressed for Halloween, standing on a flat patch of scrubby ground with a rocky hillside rising behind them. The children are wearing multiple layers of outsized clothes, bundled and knotted around them. Their hands are hidden within their sleeves, and they have huge adult work-boots on their feet. The figure on the left is wearing a crude mask with tiny eyeholes and a mouth hole; tufts of dried grass have been added to create a beard and moustache. The figure on the right doesn't seem to have a mask – just a large clump of heather for a head, protruding from a jacket collar swathed in scarves.

Cutest trick’or’treater tonight was the little girl in the princess costume who came as we were getting to the bottom of our bowl. “How many pieces?” she asked quietly. “Just one. We’re running out and there’s still a lot of kids.” She looks at us with an earnest expression “Do you want some of mine?”
