By now, you have opened your crypts to all those spooks. I am giving out no tricks here but only treats.  I am only in the background this year. You could just say, I am the skeleton crew. HA HA

My roll is on the right this year!

The Captain of this ship has got this handled and I have snuck out to say hey! I might have secured a small treat for me as well. *snickers*

Have a grand time ya all!

Master Crypt Keeper,

Michelle

PS: If you purchased a shirt this year, which of course I hope you did, show us a pic! Remember all purchases do go to charity. We do not get a single dime.

Announcements: A Terrible Way To Die #CountdowntoHalloween20223

Hello my Boils and Ghouls,

First of all, Happy Halloween Eve! As always, you have had some great content to celebrate all the spooky goodness. You all are truly awesome.

I wanted to let you know that this is my last year at being your #1 Crypt keeper. The last two years, things have gotten in the way of doing so properly and this year has been no different.

In saying that though, I have asked Dex to take over the reins. He has been amazing with the Countdown Instagram and helped me this last two years to keep things running. He is a good spook and will do you proud.

Thank you Dex but all for what you have done. 

I will be around in 2024 but just not at full capacity.

Boo-ya,

Master Crypt Keeper,

Michelle

Wolf Howls...Wa-hoooo #CountdowntoHalloween2023

Oh my boo-ness! It is only two days from our favorite orange holiday! I get a bit o' Halloween goodness because, well, I moved crypts this season. Believe me, it was a last minute surprise broom flight!

I cannot reveal where my new crypt site is BUT I can tell you that the house I live in has a old graveyard just up the street. Of course I have already visited and can't wait to visit some more. 

The owners of this house love Halloween! They have a yard full of skeletons and treasures and dress up for the 200 spooks that come to get a treat or two. Boo-lio, right? They have asked me to dress up too but you will have to wait to see my costume.  bwa ha ha ha

======

Due to my sudden move, I have been late getting to the next section of bloggers. But no worries, I still have plenty of bat time to drop a treat.

Soon my ghoulish friends, soon.

PS>If you speak cat, this is what one of the now 11...YES 11, I live with said.

OH MY GHOURD!! #CountdowntoHalloween2022

OM-GHOURD!

It is already 7 days in and I am soooo behind. I have read all of your messages and have fixed links and added people. At this point, I will add no more. However, if you are looking for your link and signed up, check back because I probably did not get to you yet.

Now, a word about those links. Seriously folks, we go through this every single haunted house year. You send them to me and I post the scrawlings on the house walls with my blood and sweat. I ask you, I plead with you. I might even howl to please check them before October 1st. Oy! So, puh-leeze check your links. Go now, I will wait. If it is not fixed and you don't tell me, then I don't know because I don't check them

ok, moving on...

I will be going trick or treating soon to all of your pages probably in the next day or so. I am not sure if Dex has started but we will get there. I promise. I will probably be in a costume...ok, ok...jeans/shorts and a Halloween t-shirt. Make sure you drop by other people's too. We like those treats!

Ohhhhh yeah, speaking of which, I have seen a couple people have purchased  the official Countdown t-shirt. If you have, post us a photo of you wearing it. You are likely to end up on Instagram too (be sure to tag @countdowntohalloweenblog!). Do you go visit Dex there? He does a great job for an ax murderer...um...I mean for a host of the monster persuasion! *grins cheezy*

So, how are you my bois and ghouls? Drop me a comment.

Your Master Crypt Keeper, Michelle

The Crypt Is Open for 2022! #CountdowntoHalloween2022 #information #CryptKeeperDex #CryptKeeperMichelle #Chad

 

Something is afoot here! 

Welcome back my very ghoulish friends.  I am your Master Crypt Keeper, Michelle. I am along here with my good pal and Master Crypt Keeper, Dex, to keep everything here...well...spooky!

The official Countdown to Halloween crypt is now open. I know, I know, usually we open August 1st but we had to clear out a few cobwebs and allow for some redecorating. 

A new boil in town, but not new to the Halloween scene, has graced us with some new looks. This year we welcome, Chad Savage who has created the new banner and badges for this year's theme.  Our theme this year is "Old School Halloween" and we let him run with it. What do you think? Make sure to click on his name and go look around his blog. Just an FYI, he is the one that Dex mentioned last year for the cool calendar.

So let's get on to the stuff.

Badges: As always, you are welcome to pick up a web-covered badge to decorate your own crypt with. We know you love them, but make sure it links back to the Countdown. If you for some reason don't know how to do that, just ask.

Official begin: Well of course, October 1st for the Countdown but we all know that some of you go all year long. PLEASE link back to our blog when you post. It is a nice thing to do and newbies may want to join.

Commenting: What makes the Countdown fun is visiting others and commenting. It is the spirit of the thing. You want those treats just as others do. Go and visit others crypts.

Links: They will be posted starting today (see right side bar). You can sign up through October 3rd and after that the link list will be shut off. However, I am nice and if you have a good enough treat, I might reconsider if you still want in. *chuckles* PLEASE be patient though, if you don't see your link by October 1st, email me at nailamoon1968 at gmail dot com and I will see what is up. I do add links on my own time and this year, I am in college again...talk about clearing out cobwebs...sheesh....

Following: You can subscribe or just come back periodically to the Countdown from now until we close again. We often have fun posts and/or new information you need to know.  Links for that is also on the right sidebar. ALSO, if you want to organize just to 2022, our hashtag is #CountdowntoHalloween2022

You can also find us on our Instagram Link all year long. Go and check that out because sometimes, you might see your own stuff there. Dex does a great job of keeping that alternate crypt going. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO DUDE!

New stuff: Last year we kicked around having the Official Countdown to Halloween t-shirts. Well, guess what...we are working on making that happening! Whoo... Stayed tuned for more information on that. We might have some other merch too to purchase.

Questions for me or Dex: If you have a questions or comments to make about any particular post, put it in the comment section for the post. DON'T EMAIL IT WILL GET LOST. I do monitor and will answer each post that is made. Note: you will not see it right away but I do get them. For integrity of our crypt here, I do approve/disprove each comment as often we get simply spam and who wants that?

Ok, so, I think that is it for now. WELCOME! October is right around the corner!

Your Master Crypt Keeper,

Michelle
