Every day can be Halloween!
Summerween is in action! 🖤
New look at the Haunted Dark Ride Management Sim I'm building with GDevelop!
Hey everyone,
I'd love to share the latest gameplay for the game I'm currently building in GDevelop.
It's a pixel-art management sim where you design and operate your own haunted house dark ride. I've actually never created a game before, and am truly happy with how inituitive it is to use GDevelop and create a game that's entirely what I envisioned.
I'm currently working very hard to get a demo ready for Halloween season. If you like, you can find more info and screenshots on the Steam page:

I've had lovely conversations with fellow GDevelopers in the past regarding the lightning and mechanics of this game, and I've had more than a fair share of help too. If there's anything you'd like to discuss, or any feedback, please feel free to hit me up here, or on discord!
Summerween Props
I saw a few props on IG that looked cool and decided to give it a try myself to replicate. They’re to display around food/drink/ice cream bars if you celebrate Summerween! I want to find clear orange film to cover the windows to hide the pink inside on the camper. I have a few more coats of orange to go for the stripes on the tiki bar and going to do some weathering on the orange roof and then that will be done!
The IG page I got the inspiration from is (@ivette_libra18).
Antique Halloween Postcard Collection
Sharing my new little collection of Halloween postcards, all but one are pre-1920 early 1900's. The most unique out of the bunch is on the right and its a RSVP to a Halloween sweet sixteen party on a Halloween designed invitation, most likely from a set, 1920's-30's. 🎃
I added a bunch of features to my game based off your recommendations… here’s a social media post about one of them!
I’m not sure how well you guys will like content like this but I figured I’d try it out.
I’ve added a ton of stuff based on your recommendations, and I decided to show off at least one of them.
How does the media look in general? Think it’ll drive sales and wishlists and stuff?
As always, I’m open to all feedback and any future features you think I should add.
Colored some more guys
Tag yourself! I’m the fairy.
Michael’s Spooky Town
Heads up my Spooky Town peeps! Michael’s is starting to come out with their 2026 Spooky Town line in stores. My store did not have them out to look at, but I was able to order online for in store pickup! Also, they are currently running a 30% off coupon online!
How to stop dreaming of Halloween every day and start living it
I've been a Halloween lover my whole life. One of my fondest memories is from a childhood Halloween back in the late 90s. I used to carry a stuffed witch around everywhere when I was a kid lol
But as I've grown I've found myself more and more simply dreaming of Halloween and never really living it. We hand out candy, but we don't decorate aside from a few pumpkins on the porch. We don't dress up, we haven't been to a party since like 2017 or 2018. It feels like the most Halloween-y thing we do anymore is occasionally play Betrayal at the house on the hill.
I miss enjoying the magic of Halloween. I miss being that kid who carried a stuffed witch around. I want to start *living* Halloween. Does anyone have any tips on infusing your year-round life with the best night of the year?
Found at yard sale!
Has anyone ever seen one of these? I’m almost positive it’s from the 90’s 🎃
New Haunted House Blow Mold Spotted on Cracker Barrel post!

All bought props, except for the crank ghost. Buildings are PVC greenhouses covered in reinforced room rolls from Party City. Someone bought the Amscan arm of Party City when they went under, but they don't seem to be selling anything yet. If anybody knows where you can get those stone rolls, now, I'd love to know about it.
EDIT: Re-uploaded video, now with faces blurred. I hope that's okay. Pity it also blurs the faces of the props.
Counting the days until October 31
Found these ghosts on sale and can’t wait for the holiday to come back around!
Picked this Pumpkinhead wall hanger up over the weekend!
Purchased at the Motor City Comic con.

Fine Press Spooky Books Ft. Jack Skellington
These spooky books were published under Suntup Editions. The Yellow Wallpaper and The Lottery are masterclasses in short fiction, and Psycho serves as the progenitor for the slasher genre many of us enjoy on Spooky season 🎃👻🦇
