I found a really cool figure of Eleven from Stranger Things at Target today, and I felt inspired to take a few pictures of her. She also has another set of hands and accessories but I couldn't seem to snap them in place. I'll try again another time.

Maybe one day I'll post something about someone who isn't Sam again, but he's been helping me out big time with both feeling inspired/motivated to take pictures, and also my post-Halloween depression. Today I decided to take him outside as the sun was starting to go down. It wasn't quite as dusky as I initially wanted, but it was very cold out. I'm really, really happy with this batch of pictures, though.

I don't know if I've ever been so thrilled with a doll purchase in my life. I'm so, so glad that I found him. He is worth every penny that I paid for him.

So, October may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean we've stopped celebrating Halloween here! Halloween is every day here at the Spookycute Dollhouse, and today I got a wonderful surprise.

I'm sure everyone remembers Sam (the little guy in the icon if you've forgotten him) from the October Pic-of-the-Day Challenge. If you don't know who he is aside from just one of my dolls, he's actually a character from a Halloween-centric horror movie called Trick 'r Treat, and not surprisingly, I'm sure, one of my favorite characters ever. I look at him and just get the sense that he is Halloween.

There are a few incarnations of Sam available. Figures, a Pop figurine, handmade ones all across Etsy, and of course, the one that was featured in the OPotDC, the Living Dead Dolls version. Today though, on a random trip to the only FYE store that exists anywhere near me, I found the "Mega Scale" Sam, made by Mezco, the Living Dead Doll company, and a whopping fifteen inches tall. Of course I fell in love instantly. It's the last day of my two-week vacation, my favorite time of year is over, and I had a real bummer of a morning, so it just kind of felt like I was meant to find him. He wasn't cheap, but I think he was worth every penny he cost me.

I wanted to take a few pictures of him outside while we still have the outdoor Halloween lights up, and I had a lot of fun doing it. I love finding any excuse to celebrate Halloween!

I am so, so happy with these pictures and with this new, amazing Sam. You'll probably be seeing a lot of him, I have a feeling.

I really hope this is at least somewhat fun to read. I had a very, very hard time coming up with a pic-fic idea for this year so I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about this, but I'm just glad I was able to come up with something. Some of this may not make sense if you don't me from my previous journal, so I encourage checking out the 2015 and 2016 pic-fics if you're new here.

I hope everyone's having a wonderful Halloween. I'll be back in a bit with, unbelievably, the final Pic of the Day for this year!

Just in case this nonstop rainstorm didn't suck enough, Photobucket is also being an asshole again. Even with a paid account, it's still next to impossible to use. *sigh* I am actually happy with today's picture, though.

In other news, I really have no idea what I'm going to do about a pic-fic. I wouldn't even say I have a real idea, I have a very vague concept and that's about it. How I'm going to turn that into something by next Tuesday, I really couldn't tell you. I feel like Star Lord in this clip. Except I think twelve percent is a bit more than what I have right now!
