This Year's Participants



WELCOME TO THE 2011 COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN!
If you want to know which houses are giving out the good candy this year, then look no further than the list below. Remember when you stop by to say thank you by leaving them a comment for all the hard work they've put into making Halloween the greatest holiday of the year.

All sites are listed alphabetically. Keep checking back as updates will be made all month long. It's never too late to join in. Just let us know who would like to be included and send us a link to your blog(s) that you'd like to have included.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS: It's nice to see a lot of new faces this year as long as many returning participants. If you don't see yourself on this list, or would like a blog added, removed, or renamed on this list, or if a link is broken, or incorrect, please leave a note in the comments section below. Every effort was made to contact everyone who participated last year, but a number of last year's participants did not have any contact information attached to their blogs.

This is a really impressive beginning. I think we have around 215 people participating as of this year's launch and anticipate more will be joining us as we go.
Now that that's out of the way it's time to put on your masks and start trick or treating. Happy Halloween!

Nice work, and thanks.

Britt Reid said...

Hi:

Thought you'd be interested...

We're doing a LOT of Horror-oriented material (primarily Frankenstein) in October on our weekly and semi-weekly blogs....

Hero & Heroine Histories™ will be running selected stories from Dick Briefer's various Monster of Frankenstein series, including both the humorous and horror versions of his own title as well as some strips from Prize Comics, starting with the very first multi-super-hero team-up strip featuring the Prize Fighters vs the Monster from Prize Comics #24!
Plus other superhero-oriented horror material including, on Halloween, the one (and only) Golden Age appearance of the Original Mr Monster!

Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™ will have the comic adaptation of the Universal Monsters from Dell Comics (as well as other classic Universal Monsters including Dracula, WolfMan, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc.).
Plus numerous Roger Corman and Hammer horror comics adaptations, and on Halloween...the b/w original version of The Monster Club!

Western Comics Adventures™ will present the Original Ghost Rider's encounter with the Frankenstein Monster along with other Western/horror/sci-fi strips, including the comic version of the flick Valley of Gwangi!

Even True Love Comics Tales™ is running Gothic romances including Dark Shadows!

Shawn Robare said...

Britt - We've added the lot to the list!

Andrew Barr said...

Is it too late? can I add my blog http://moviemonstars.blogspot.com

I'll be trying to post 2 new entries to the blog a week until halloween.

Carrie Mae said...

http://creepycupcakes.blogspot.com

I'll be participating, even if you don't add me to the list. LOVE THAT YOU DO THIS! :)

John Rozum said...

Andrew and Carrie Mae, I've added you to the Cryptkeepers list. You're all set.

RB said...

Arghh!

Is it October?? Forgive me, I lost track of time. I'm behind, but will make up for it this week. My sincerest apologies to all those that dropped by Caterwaul Studios.

Bully said...

John, as always, thanks for putting this together. I always find so many great blogs I've not seen before during Countdown!*

*Which already makes it more valuable than Countdown to Infinite Crisis.

Natalie D. said...

Ooh, how have I not heard about this? How does it work exactly? Do I just need to blog every day until Halloween about Halloweeny type things? I've been meaning to do this anyway. This group sounds fantastic!

Bryce Wilson said...

Since I wasn't going to be able to do 31 Posts for it, I didn't submit my horror blog Son Of Danse Macabre. But glancing through the roll that er- doesn't look like that requirement is all that strictly held up anymore. Any chance of getting it added?

http://sonofdansemacabre.blogspot.com/

Shawn Robare said...

Natalie D. - You nailed it on the head. No pressure to post every single day, just try and have some spooky fun with it. We've added you to the list!

Bryce - We've added your site to the list! Basically, it's not a hard and fast rule, more of a guideline for the type of Halloween-y camaraderie we're looking to promote.

Lux said...

I would love to be added to this years participants! Thanks for all the great blogs you've helped me find through the count down!
