We're suckers for old-fashioned, low-tech costumes. There's something particularly terrifying about these kids in their p**p emoji/ghost masks from yesteryear.

Featured heritage (re Halloween) house of the week! No, these houses aren't haunted (that we know of), but we think they're beautiful and evoke that lovely Halloweenie feeling.

We love a local ghost story!

A ghost story from a local mine, presented for the first time in 121 years.

Nelson has some incredible heritage homes and some of them really do scream Halloween. Local photographer Madeleine Guenette captures them beautifully. You can check them out on her website: https://mado.smugmug.com/Heritage-homes

Which ones do you think make the most magical Halloween destinations?

83 DAYS UNTIL HALLOWEEN 👻💀🦇🎃

Of COURSE there's still loads of summer left, but there's a little something something in the air–playing peekaboo around the ripening apples and shuffling through dried grasses. Can't you feel it?

“They banged doors, they shouted Trick or Treat and their brown paper bags began to fill with incredible sweets. They galloped with their teeth glued shut with pink gum. They ran with red wax lips bedazzling their faces. But all the people who met them at doors looked like candy factory duplicates of their own mothers and fathers. It was like never leaving home. Too much kindness flashed from every window and every portal. What they wanted was to hear dragons belch in basements and banged castle doors.” ~ The Halloween Tree, Ray Bradbury

Meet you in the alley between Carbonate & Silica on Halloween? Be there and be scared.

it's Halloween and here is a scary scene to enjoy from our Nelson Daily News archive from 1965 for .

It's almost time to start planning for our 2nd Annual Trick or Treat Trail. If you live on either side of the Carbonate/Silica back alley, get in touch. This year, we'd like to see if we can't get more blocks involved. Imagine the alley stretching all across Uphill, bursting with creativity, creepiness and candy!
