After producing and editing 13 separate videos, I am finally finished documenting Diagon Alley! It took me this long to tell the full story of our Wizarding World Halloween and Christmas in Diagon Alley , and here we are already halfway to Halloween 2023! All the Diagon Alley videos are on our Halloween 2022 video playlist , which is linked from both event pages, and on our Eerie Elegance YouTube channel . Please like & subscribe! Now it's full speed ahead for our big Nightmare Before Christmas 30th anniversary celebration for Halloween 2023! At least I am already almost done with our costumes: Jauntie Oogie Boogie in burlap suit sporting crawling bugs and snake tongue cravat beside yours truly as Spiral Hill in crushed velvet covered in carved jack o'lanterns, complete with Jack & Sally in front of a glowing moon and Halloween countdown clock pocketwatch! There are still more details to add before these costumes meet my full vision for Halloween, plus improvements...

   Per Eerie Elegance tradition we must celebrate Friday the 13th! For this year we present two new Paranormal Projections, this time captured in 4K resolution! The Eerie Elegance Scream Team has managed to capture several hauntings over the years, and we are excited to share them all with you , for a small fee of course!   The Ghostly Gentleman and Stylish Spirits were featured in Our Own Haunted Mansion for Halloween 2020, completely original costumes & characters filmed in front of greenscreen as our first Halloween project at our new old Queen Anne Victorian house the Eerie Elegance Estate. I made the entire dress ensemble including steel-boned hand-beaded lace corset, bolero jacket, mini top hat fascinator with feathers and bling, and 40lbs of stuffed ruffles, plus the matching vest, all from scratch for our wedding at Winchester Mystery House in 2018, then I sewed the custom cloak, decorated his hat, and transformed the full outfits into ghosts with...

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone enjoyed their evening! We had a great night at Our Own Haunted Mansion with consistent flow without crowding so everyone stayed safe like our spooky spirits! Thanks to Lori, Rod, Eileen & Tyson & friends, Katie & daughter, Susan, Debi, Christian, Cyd, and Victor & friend for coming, several who had rotating VIP fire pit seats in the driveway! We saw some very fun costumes, like Thorgi the Corgi with the Queen of Hearts, Freddy Kruger, a sassy witch, an adorable lion, an elegant web, and an entire Wizard of Oz crew! I had prepared 50 gloves filled with candy in advance and kept refilling 20 at a time hanging on our fence as self-serve trick or treat, and I only had 5 left by 10pm, but it felt like it was at least twice as many adults as kids, so not a bad first Halloween here! #spooky #ghost #ghosts #spirits #stylishspirits #haunted #ourownhauntedmansion #EerieEleganceEstate #EerieElegance #homehaunters #HomeHauntersOfInstagram #Gri...
