Dunbar Haunted House

Today marks the opening day of the Dunbar Haunted House in Vancouver, BC.

For those of you in Vancouver may I suggest you make a visit to the Dunbar Haunted House which is seriously decorated for Halloween. The Dunbar Haunted House is Vancouver’s best hauted house run by two artistic and veteran spookers. It’s for a good cause; collecting donations for the BC Firefighter’s Burn Fund, Vancouver Police Union Charitable Fund, and the Empty Stocking Fund. It is free, but donations are accepted (please donate). It’s definitely the ultimate haunted house display with live actors and amazing props.

The haunted house has been around for a couple of years and has been growing every year. The owner of the house just enjoys bringing entertainment to the neighbourhood. He is not that big of a horror fan but really likes the reactions that he gets when people come through. I think it’s fantastic that people do this for the public, and I wish there was more of it.

Ah fall. It seems the weather barely begins to shift, and all of a sudden there are gourds decorating every table and

pumpkin flavored everything added to the menu (not that I’m complaining on the last part). But as seasonal decoration begins to crop up all over the place, we find ourselves asking the same question we always do; isn’t it a little early to start decorating for Halloween?

And what should the answer be? No, no it isn’t. If Halloween and decorating make you feel happy, then do it! If looking through costume websites all year makes you smile and feel warm inside, then why not? I’d rather be early for any occasion than late.

Halloween especially; all the costumes will be gone before you know it, all the good decorations snached up, including pumpkins. Now lets take a minute to ask yourself; do you really want to be the last in line to get their pumkin and end up with one that look like this:

Now I’m not saying that it should be all your life revolves around, but a good way to keep track up the upcoming Halloween season effortlessly are these nifty tickers by Costume Cauldron. You can put them on your blog, myspace page or anywhere else you can think of.
