So, ready your quills and ink your scrolls! The spectral realm awaits your creativity, courage, and insatiable thirst for the macabre.
SPOOKY PIRATE FARE
An assortment of recipes as mysterious as Davy Jones’ locker and as delightful as a luscious mermaid’s song. From haunting hors d’oeuvres to demonic desserts, our recipes promise a party that’s not just about tricks…
SPOOK QUOTES
How about a journey from the haunting verses of yesteryear to the extraterrestrial aphorisms of today? Come ride at anchor here on the Resilience as we collect Spook Quotes together.
(BAD) SPOOK JOKES
A page of spook jokes and riddles where the puns are as dead as the undead? Are you ready to learn why the ghost got kicked out of the party? Do you know why the vampire was terrible at relationships? Or which day of the week is the werewolf’s favourite?
RANDOM SPOOK TRIVIA
Have you ever wondered why people carve pumpkins into jagged-toothed guardians of the night? Are you curious about the spine-chilling stories that birthed the myth of the Headless Horseman? Or do you sit on any interesting facts you’d like to share with us?
SPOOK WORD SEARCH
Words are sorely needed here, but they have all been jumbled up and disappeared into the grids below. This is a game that doesn’t really need too much of an explanation. There are loads of Spooktober-related words in here. Can you find them all?
SPOOK WORD OF THE WEEK
A growing list of terms that may tingle the spine and help expand your eerie vocabulary. Just as every haunted house has its ghostly whispers, and every crypt in Ulfrheim has its restless spirits, so every tale of terror needs its fair share of spooky verbiage.
HAUNTING HUNDOS
Welcome to our collection of Halloween Hundos – tales no more and no less than 100 words long. Or short. Each Hundo is a bite-sized morsel of terror, perfect for those who seek a quick thrill in the dark corners of their imagination. Intrigued? Come read, enjoy, and submit your own hundos.
VAMPIRES IN FICTION
The purpose of this space is to collect all the vampire-related content in a space where it is easy to find. Especially during spook season. We are always happy to get feedback from you, so if there is something we have missed or something you’d like to add, please let us know.
