Thanks, as always, to all involved.

It is scary, it involves spiders...I know, no suprise coming from the frog queen :)

This is going to be fun!!!

Cheers!

Amazing list! I'm going to click every link!

I've posted my first contribution as well, just an intro to the whole celebration. Please check it out, and I'll check out everybody's great work as well!

Shawn Robare said...

Raven - You're telling me. I have no excuse for being bored during October, that's for sure...

Frog Queen - After you're encounters with the 8-legged kind I'm surprised you opted for a giant prop spider. Hopefully the other medium spiders in your area don't gather around it as if it's some sort of evil Sumerian god...

Pierre - Yes it is, and I hope you don't get lost along the way as it's a big one this year...

Eric - You've been added to the list, can't wait to see what you've got in store.

Peanut - Thanks, and welcome to the fun, this is a pretty great community.

Adam - Check, Vintage Postcards has been added.

PRG - Going over to check it out right now...

Trader Sam said...

How cool! I guess you could count me in, but I'm not sure if I'd qualify. I use blogging software (Wordpress) to post relevant updates on my websites, and I certainly don't do it every day (maybe once a week). But, I do have some Halloweenish goodies available or coming. You be the judge . . .

First up is Doorless Chambers, a week-long trick-or-treating event (October 25-31) for Disney enthusiasts. The event works like a Web Ring, with several websites offering some type of Disney/Halloween goody to download or play with. Guests can also browse through the website's older posts and find links to more goodies and websites.

Next, is the Disney Experience. I will be offering a few Disney Halloweenish goodies throughout the month.

Lastly are some papercrafts that I'm experimenting with. They're not free, but they're cheap. I decided to design four papercrafts to hand out to the neighborhood kids this year along with candy. The crafts are pre-punched, so the only tool needed is glue. They're a tad expensive to make by hand, so I thought I'd sell them online for $1.00 a piece (plus S&H) to help pay for supplies.

Feel free to edit out information in this comment (or not post it at all). I'm not trying to sell anything or get free advertising (I don't need it). I just thought folks might like to know about these things.

Mr. Karswell said...

Damn. With a list as huge and full of quality links as this, CTH is the only blog REALLY worthy of using the term "Countdown." I'm proud to be part of it... thanks for putting this together and all in one easy, accessible place.

Oops! actor Bela Lugosi's Birthday is on
October 20,...I'am so sorry, but I'am quite sure that "true" Bela Lugosi's fans knew that I made a (Boo-Boo!)...in other words, a "mistake" when I said, actor Bela Lugosi's B-Day was on 10/19...
