Halloween fun in hot July! -

 We couldn't wait for Halloween, so we had a monstrous-sized blast at the Nashville Horror Convention in July! 

  Met up with some old friends, including Borah, the most faBOOloous witch from Salem's Black Hat Society. We originally met Borah in Salem during our visit there during Halloween week, 2016, and it was a lovely surprise seeing Borah in Nashville! 

Fellow "greenie" Borah and me!

  Another good friend we ran into was none other than Drew Badger of the Big Scary Show, who interviewed us again about Autumn Brilliance magazine, and also the exuberant return of our upcoming Halloween art show, Monsters & Merriment. We last were interviewed by Drew in 2019 at the CreepyCon in Knoxville.

  We even got to meet someone who we have held in absolute awe for decades... the multi-Academy Award winning makeup artist, Ve Neill! 

Meeting the legendary Ve Neill!

Ve's astonishing list of cinematic makeup achievements include so many of our favorite movies, such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Mrs. Doubtfire, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ed Wood, and more (her list of award nominations alone is just incredible), What an honor to spend a few moments chatting with this legend, who has so inspired me over the years with her monster makeup techniques!

   Even though it was July, and hotter than the hinges of Hades, we had a grand old time. Doesn't matter what time of the year it is - for us, it's always Halloween!
