haunTopic Radio Premieres – By Haunters, For Haunters
February 13, 2012 by
UPDATE: You can play the file on this page – Coming Soon- Downloads and iTunes subscriptions!
We realize that we don’t do enough to keep the Haunt and Halloween spirit alive in the off-season. Most non-haunters may not realize that it takes lots of time and hard work all year long to get your haunts ready. Even if you’re a just a home haunter you may be planning a new scare for this year, or next. And what better time to work on it than in the summer when it’s warm in the garage, which means you might need to start thinking about it now. Or, if you are blessed with a warm garage already, what are you waiting for?
To help keep people inspired and in the ‘ween state of mind Darryl Plunkie of dEdmonton and Brian Foreman of Scary Visions have started a podcast for haunters, by haunters. While they are doing some touchups to the haunTopic website Brian has released the first, introductory, episode on his ScaryVisions website.
Head on over to http://scaryvisions.com/hauntopic-radio/ to give the first episode a listen to and comment here or on our Facebook Page and let us know what you think!

Custom Costumes opens in South Edmonton
September 4, 2009 by
Many stores are starting to get their Halloween displays out – and school has just started. No, I’m not complaining – I’m excited!
The grand opening of Custom Costumes is tonight, September 4th, 2009 at 5:00 pm. Located at 3414 Gateway Blvd (the same location as last year), this seasonal store has excellent displays, scary props and an abundance of costumes for young and old alike. With over 10,000 square feet of “Halloween Everything” they are the best place in the south of the city to find your Halloween props, costumes, makeup and effects.
Their mission: to create a bigger and better Halloween with each year passing.
And they are succeeding.
After watching this store grow over the past several years we are always excited to see it opening and see what surprises they have in store for us. They carry the latest in mens, ladies, plus size, children and pet costumes. They also carry all the accessories including shoes, wigs, makeup, masks, an huge selection of indoor and outdoor props and a giant animated Frankenstein!
To help out with tonight’s Grand Opening, the Edmonton Bonewagon Association will have a couple hearses present so come on out and see them.
