Houston Chick-fil-A Team Helps Terminally Ill Guest Achieve Bucket List Item

  A Houston Chick-fil-A recently went far above and beyond the typical customer service to surprise a terminally-ill regular with a bucket list experience… of sorts. Bill and Becky decided 20 years ago as they approached retirement they’d set out to visit every state capital, but as the years went on they never found a […] The post Houston Chick-fil-A Team Helps Terminally Ill Guest Achieve Bucket List Item appeared first on Good News Network.

Sebastian de Castell’s Spellslinger Is Getting the Series Treatment From Chad Stahelski’s Production Company

News Spellslinger Sebastian de Castell’s Spellslinger Is Getting the Series Treatment From Chad Stahelski’s Production Company Prepare for magic dueling By Molly Templeton | Published on October 22, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share The latest book series to get tapped for transformation into a TV series is Sebastian de Castell’s Spellslinger series, which begins with a novel of the same name. The six Spellslinger books follow Kellen, “a would-be mage with no magic of his own” according to the publisher’s summary, which goes on to explain: Kellen is moments away from facing his first duel and proving his worth as a spellcaster. There’s just one problem: his magic is fading.Facing exile unless he can pass the mage trials, Kellen is willing to risk everything—even his own life—in search of a way to restore his magic. But when the enigmatic Ferius Parfax arrives in town, she challenges him to take a different path.One of the elusive Argosi, Ferius is a traveller who lives by her wits and the cards she carries. Daring, unpredictable, and wielding magic Kellen has never seen before, she may be his only hope. Spellslinger, the TV series, is being produced by Basset House Distribution and 87Eleven Entertainment, the latter of which is the company of John Wick director Chad Stahelski. It has as showrunner and writer M. Raven Metzner, whose resume as a writer includes one episode each of Star Trek: Discovery and Heroes Reborn, eight episodes of Sleepy Hollow, two of Iron Fist (for which he was also the season two showrunner), and a writing credit for Elektra (yes, the 2005 movie). According to Variety, the show’s logline says of young mage Kellan, “When his paths cross with a swashbuckling adventurer from a mysterious sect called the Argosi on a mission to stop a continent-wide war, his life, world and family will be turned upside down. Bursting with tricks, traps, magic and a talking squirrel cat!” No casting or network/streamer involvement has been announced.[end-mark] The post Sebastian de Castell’s <i>Spellslinger</i> Is Getting the Series Treatment From Chad Stahelski’s Production Company appeared first on Reactor.

Egwene Becomes Rand’s Counterpart as She Readies the White Tower for Tarmon Gai’don

Books The Wheel of Time Egwene Becomes Rand’s Counterpart as She Readies the White Tower for Tarmon Gai’don Sylas explores the similarities between Rand and Egwene. By Sylas K Barrett | Published on October 22, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share The world saw Aes Sedai as a monolith, towering and solid, or it had before the current division in the Tower became common knowledge, yet the pure fact was that the Ajahs stood apart in all but name, the Hall their only true meeting point, and the sisters themselves were little more than a convocation of hermits, speaking three words beyond what was absolutely required only with a few friends. Or with another sister they had joined in some design. Whatever else changed about the Tower, Egwene was sure that never would. — Crossroads of Twilight, chapter 17 When I first read the above paragraph, I was actually a little shocked. It’s true that the Aes Sedai have never appeared to work well together at any point in the series, but I always put that down to the fact that the White Tower is a very old, very well-established institution that is accustomed to having control over most of the important goings-on in the world. Rand’s very existence has undermined the way the Aes Sedai have always been accustomed to doing things; of course it would have trouble adapting to the rapid changes brought on by the coming of the Dragon Reborn. He is a man who can channel but can not be gentled. He is, by prophecy and by the nature of his being, an authority in channeling and the One Power, which historically has been the sole purview of the White Tower. Also the historical purview of the White Tower is controlling who becomes the heads of nations and directing many of their decisions, especially international ones—yet from the moment he revealed himself, Rand began exerting his own authority and control over the nations he “conquered,” issuing edicts and appointing governors much more openly than the Aes Sedai ever did. In addition to all that, Rand’s coming also supposedly means the breaking of all bonds, an effect which can be seen within the greatest of the world’s nations and institutions as well as the lowliest. All this seemed enough to explain the almost paralyzing inefficiency we see from the Aes Sedai as a group, and I do think there is a lot of truth in that analysis. However, in Crossroads of Twilight Egwene’s observations, supported by Siuan’s teachings about the history of the Tower and the Hall, show us that, although all the individual Aes Sedai feel connected and loyal to the concept of being Aes Sedai, to the idea of what the White Tower is, none of them feel very connected to each other. There is some unity within individual Ajahs, but even within those, each sister is focused on her own individual goals, which sometimes lead her into alliance with other sisters, but just as often put her at odds with them—and, even in alliance, she almost certainly still has secrets that she is keeping to herself. This isn’t to say that the Hall doesn’t have any power over those it leads. But it does show how, despite being a democratic body in a functional sense, the Hall of the Tower doesn’t actually lead by committee. It follows one or two strong women, be they Sitters or the Amyrlin herself, who have to manipulate, cajole, and convince the rest that her goal is the right one, and that her approach is the best way to achieve that goal. Both before and after Egwene was able to establish herself as the true Amyrlin, she has had to spend most of her time manipulating the Hall either from behind the scenes, or cleverly using custom and law to her advantage, or both. From presenting the specter of Mat’s army to frighten the Hall into deciding to actually move out of Salidar, to secretly relying on Siuan and Leane as spies and informants, to exploiting Tower Law to gain control of her position, Egwene has never once achieved anything through open and honest conversation with any of the Sitters, and aside from Leane and Siuan, there aren’t really any other Aes Sedai she can fully trust to speak truthfully to her and to support her, without any other hidden agenda. She is keeping her plans for the siege a secret from everyone, possibly even Siuan. She mainly intends to achieve her goals for the future of female channelers—the release of those sisters who came from the Sea Folk, as per the Bargain, and the eventual retirement of sisters from the Aes Sedai and into the Kin—by being clever enough and lucky enough to get the Hall to support Egwene’s decisions without really realizing the extent of what they are agreeing to. The intricacies of Aes Sedai politics are fascinating, and one could spend a long time dissecting them, but what I find most interesting is what they mean for Egwene in her position as Amyrlin. The fact that she ended up in the position at all almost feels like a design of the One Power, as though the Pattern pushed events to place her there. Siuan’s desire to prepare the White Tower for Tarmon Gai’don was her motivation in manipulating the Hall into appointing Egwene, and although Siuan ended up serving Egwene rather than directing her, Egwene’s raising was the best move anyone could have made towards that goal. In the same way, Egwene’s childhood connection to Rand was a factor in the Hall’s decision: They hoped to use her to manipulate him, but they actually ended up with someone who would use the Hall towards the same ends Rand is after, preparing for the Last Battle. I remains to be seen whether Rand and Egwene will easily achieve cohesion in that goal, and whether the White and Black Towers will find an alliance more easily because of that childhood connection. However, whether Rand and Egwene believe they are working well together or not, an outsider can see how aligned they are in their goals, and in the way they think. Egwene’s narration has even changed a lot since we last had her POV, and she sounds a lot more like Rand now than she did. While observing the sisters and students working on the cuendillar objects, Egwene finds herself considering that, if sisters watched Nicola and Areina too closely, Egwene might find herself forced to lie in order to cover up “matters she dared not expose.” She thinks to herself that it’s a pity she didn’t allow Siuan to arrange “two quiet deaths” for the girls, the way Siuan had originally wanted to. Her head jerked in shock at the thought. Had she gone that far from Emond’s Field? She knew she would have to order men to die in battle sooner or later, and she thought she might be able to order a death if the need was great enough. If one death could stop the death of thousands, or even hundreds, was it not right to order it? But the danger presented by Nicola and Areina was simply that they might reveal secrets that could inconvenience Egwene al’Vere. Oh, Myrelle and the others might be lucky to get off with a birching, and they would certainly consider that more than inconvenient, but discomfort, however great, was not sufficient reason for killing. It is impossible to read about anyone considering how much they’ve changed since they left home and not think of Rand. Although Egwene hasn’t ever used the word “hard” regarding how she thinks and feels now, there have been several moments, including the one above, that reveal such a mindset. One must be hard to order a death, even knowing it may save countless others; one must be strong and determined and able to despite the natural human guilt that comes with such an act, as Rand well knows. Egwene also finds herself unable to trust most of the people around her, even the ones who seem to be on her side. She must be on guard against the Black Ajah, just as Rand must be on guard against Darkfriends, but she also knows that even allies can make things worse for you without realizing, and that even strong oaths can be broken by most people. She is isolated, as Rand is, by her position of power but also by the fact that her potential missteps have much greater consequences than almost anyone else’s.  Egwene even has her own pain, inflicted by one of the Forsaken, to contend with. Unlike Rand, she doesn’t know where that injury comes from, but she is often forced to push through her headaches with little more than sheer strength of will, just as he must endure the agony of his two wounds. There have been many similarities between Rand’s journey and those of Perrin and Mat, especially when it comes to the effects of being ta’veren on one’s life, and to the burden of being a leader. However, only Egwene is in a position to truly match Rand’s experience, because she sees her duty to the White Tower as part of her duty to the world. While many (though certainly not all) Aes Sedai see the Tower’s needs first, and assume that what is good for the White Tower is right for the rest of the world, Egwene is aware that the Aes Sedai’s main importance, at least at this point in history, is to lead the world into the last days before Tarmon Gai’don, and to lead during the Last Battle. As a result, she isn’t experiencing leadership as a lord, the way Perrin is, or a general, the way Mat is, or even as a queen, the way Elayne is—she is seeing her position the way Rand sees his. As he is the most powerful male channeler, so has she become the head of the most powerful organization of female channelers. As he has left behind the shepherd from the Two Rivers, so has she left behind Egwene the innkeeper’s daughter. They both stand as heroes, as saviors, facing the coming of the Last Battle without turning aside or flinching, the way most people do, dragging the rest of the world behind them. When Robert Jordan began writing The Wheel of Time, his intention was to explore the idea of what it would feel like for a chosen one to discover their identity, how terrible a revelation that would be, how great a burden. But although Rand is the Chosen One of the story, and although the series revolves around a huge cast of characters, an entire world of nations and societies, of governing bodies and secret organizations, the forward thrust of the plot still rests on the shoulders of individual heroes. There are many of these, it’s true, and all play an important part in events; so many people have supported both Rand and Egwene to bring them to where they are, and even great heroes need backup. But at the end of the day, Rand is the Dragon Reborn, and facing the Dark One is his responsibility. No one else carries that burden, but I think Egwene comes the closest by far. I will be very interested to see how she is shaped by that responsibility moving forward. I also can’t help but wonder if this dual connection between Egwene and Rand, their childhood love and their similarities as leaders of the White and Black Towers, won’t be the key to uniting the world in truth, and if they won’t end up being two halves of a whole, just as saidar and saidin are—neither complete without the other, neither enough to win the Last Battle on their own.[end-mark] The post Egwene Becomes Rand’s Counterpart as She Readies the White Tower for Tarmon Gai’don appeared first on Reactor.

‘DEFAMATORY’: Conservative Demands Swing-State Newspaper Retract ‘Hate Group’ Smear

D.A. King, an immigration enforcement activist whose defamation lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center is proceeding in court, sent a legal demand letter to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, requesting a correction when the newspaper called his organization an “anti-immigration hate group.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the paper of record in and around Georgia’s capital city, mentioned King’s group, the Dustin Inman Society, as an aside in an Oct. 7 article about Katy Stamper, who won the Democratic primary in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District. Democrats now support a write-in candidate, claiming Stamper won the primary on false pretenses. “A search of activity under her birth name, Karen Sacandy, which Stamper legally changed in 2019, showed that she previously was aligned with a Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group,” The Journal- Constitution’s Washington correspondent, Tia Mitchell, wrote. Mitchell went on to include links to the Dustin Inman Society’s website, without mentioning the society or explaining why the paper characterized it as an “anti-immigration hate group.” The Dustin Inman Society, which advocates enforcing immigration law and combats illegal immigration, has three legal immigrants on its board of directors: Mary Grabar (from Slovenia); Maria Litland (from Austria); and Sabine Durden-Coulter (from Germany). The society takes its name from a 16-year-old Georgia boy killed in a 2000 car crash caused by an illegal immigrant. “This smear is an ongoing and retaliatory habit for the staff at the AJC,” King told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday. “They know it’s false and have had to run corrections many times over the years telling readers that we are aimed at illegal immigration and are not somehow ‘anti-immigration.'” Where Did AJC Get the Idea? King is already fighting to restore his reputation in court after one left-leaning organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, branded the Dustin Inman Society a “hate group.” The SPLC, which routinely brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups” and puts them on a map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, branded the society an “anti-immigrant hate group” in 2018. Yet back in 2011, the SPLC told The Associated Press that it didn’t consider the society a “hate group.” The Southern Poverty Law Center, which advocates lessening immigration restrictions, registered a lobbyist to oppose a bill the society supported. The SPLC marked the society as a “hate group” around the same time. King sued the SPLC for defamation, and a federal judge allowed the lawsuit to move to the discovery process. As I explain in my book “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” a terrorist used the organization’s “hate map” to attack a conservative Christian nonprofit in Washington, D.C., in 2012, and a former SPLC staffer called the “hate” accusations a “highly profitable scam.” Many defamation lawsuits against the SPLC have failed, however, in part because few plaintiffs before King could prove that the organization had reason to suspect the “hate group” label was false. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution didn’t cite the SPLC in its attack on the Dustin Inman Society, and it didn’t respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment for this story. In Competition With the SPLC? King told The Daily Signal that the newspaper is echoing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s attack but setting itself up as a separate arbiter of “hate.” “Since we began our battle against illegal immigration here in 2005, the AJC has migrated from merely being biased, liberal and agenda-driven to blooming into apparent competition with the despicable SPLC,” he said. “They have now apparently taken it upon themselves to bypass the leftist establishment smear artists and classify pro-enforcement political opponents who talk back as operating an ‘anti-immigration hate group’ themselves—including those who are immigrants.” King said the newspaper was engaging in a double standard: condemning his organization as a “hate group” while celebrating those on the Left who advocate amnesty for illegal aliens. He cited the Georgia Association of Elected Officials, which goes by the acronym GALEO and describes itself as focusing “on increasing civic participation of the Latinx community and developing prominent Latino leaders throughout Georgia.” “In the meantime,” King said of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “they label anti-enforcement, far-left groups such as the notorious GALEO that publicly protest against immigration enforcement as “civil rights groups.” King also noted that the AJC paid to sponsor the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund gala in 2004. Mario Obledo, MALDEF’s co-founder, had suggested that non-Hispanic, white California residents should move “back to Europe.” When then-President Bill Clinton gave Obledo the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, a man in the audience asked, “You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn’t like it they should leave. Did you say that?” “I did,” Obledo replied. “They ought to go back to Europe.” “The AJC has openly promoted open borders and helped this far-left, anti-borders group with fundraising,” King told The Daily Signal. “Just because MALDEF founder Mario Obledo called for Americans who didn’t agree with his plan for California and saying those who didn’t ‘ought to go back to Europe’ didn’t stop AJC from serving as ‘dinner chair’ for a MALDEF funder gala here.” “There once was a time when I could get a pro-enforcement guest column on their opinion page,” he lamented of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Letter Todd McMurtry, the defamation lawyer who represents King, sent the demand letter to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week. “Through use of internet links, the AJC article wrongfully characterizes the Dustin Inman Society as a ‘Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group,'” McMurtry wrote. “This characterization is false, defamatory, and published with actual malice.” “The Dustin Inman Society pushes for secure borders, is not ‘anti-immigration’ and its proprietors do not hate anyone,” McMurtry added in the letter. “Rather, DIS advocates for enforcement of U.S. immigration laws and actively opposes unlawful immigration. This distinction is crucial and well-known to staff at your publication.” McMurtry laid out the society’s position on immigration, saying “it supports sustainable levels of legal immigration through established channels;” it “opposes unlawful immigration due to various societal concerns;” and it “defends legal immigrants when media attempt to blur the difference between them and illegal aliens.” He also noted that legal immigrants serve on the society’s board. McMurtry demanded that the newspaper immediately retract the “defaming statement,” publish “a prominent apology,” and “cease and desist from further defamatory characterizations of the Dustin Inman Society.” The letter warned that “failure to comply with these demands may result in further legal action.” 241018.KING.Demand for Retraction Letter to AJCDownload The post ‘DEFAMATORY’: Conservative Demands Swing-State Newspaper Retract ‘Hate Group’ Smear appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Whether you're an experienced homesteader or a casual gardener, creating memorable Halloween traditions right in your backyard is a fun way to celebrate. So, grab some creativity, gather your local resources, and make this Halloween unforgettable! A rustic homestead transformed into a spooky Halloween wonderland, pumpkins carved with eerie faces scattered across the yard, glowing turnip lanterns lighting a gravel path. Fallen leaves, corn husks, and a handmade scarecrow sway in the wind. Bonfire in the distance, autumn night sky, spooky ambiance Create a Spooky, Harvest-Themed Halloween at Your Homestead Transform your yard into a spooky wonderland with Halloween homestead ideas this Halloween. You can blend rustic charm with festive fun to create memorable traditions. Whether you're a seasoned homesteader or a casual gardener, these ideas will help you celebrate creatively. Your homestead will come alive by using local resources and adding personal touches. So, are you ready to dive into the Halloween magic? Let’s get started! 1. Harvest the Spirit of Halloween The best Halloween homestead ideas begin with what’s already growing in your garden. Pumpkins are iconic, but you don’t need to settle for the basics. You can carve eerie faces into gourds, squash, or even turnips. Interestingly, turnips were the original jack-o'-lanterns in Irish folklore. In addition, try  lighting a path with glowing turnip “ghost lights.” These lights can lead to a DIY scarecrow made from old clothes or Halloween costumes. Alternatively, gather fallen leaves, corn husks, and dried grasses. These materials work well for crafting wreaths, garlands, and rustic scarecrows. You’ll be amazed at how simple items can turn into spooky décor. 2. Craft Homemade Haunts & Decorations Instead of using plastic store-bought decorations, choose homemade, eco-friendly accents. You can transform ordinary homestead items into spooky Halloween décor. For instance, turn old wooden crates into eerie treasure chests. Hay bales create  cozy yet spooky seating areas, while burlap sacks can be ghostly figures swaying from trees. Not only are these decorations easy to make, but they are also environmental- friendly and sustainable. If you enjoy DIY projects, try making spooky candles using beeswax from your hives. The soft glow from these candles adds warmth and an eerie feel to your garden or porch. Meanwhile, hanging dried herbs like rosemary or lavender can add a rustic touch. In addition, these herbs will also fill the air with pleasant, earthy aromas. Furthermore, don’t forget about sound! Rustling leaves, crows, and wind chimes create a haunting soundtrack. These small touches enhance the Halloween spirit and complete the eerie atmosphere. Learn more about eco-friendly Halloween decorations by Green Matters. 3. Throw a Harvest-Themed Halloween Bash Hosting a festive gathering is a fun way to share your Halloween homestead ideas. A bonfire is essential as the heart of any Halloween celebration. Guests can gather around the fire to tell ghost stories, roast marshmallows, and sip apple cider. If you grow apples, now is the perfect time to press your own cider or bake fresh apple pies. Learn how to make apple cider from scratch with this guide from Almost Offgrid. Additionally, plan traditional Halloween games for entertainment. Bobbing for apples, sack races, and pumpkin bowling are always fun activities. You can also host a costume contest where participants create their outfits using materials from the homestead. Think scarecrows made from straw hats or ghosts fashioned from old sheets. All of these activities will make your Halloween party unforgettable. 4. Conjure Up Spooky Treats from the Farm No list of Halloween homestead ideas would be complete without spooky treats. You can roast pumpkin seeds with sea salt and spices. Bake pumpkin bread, or whip up a homemade pumpkin pie. Sweet corn can become caramel corn or popcorn balls, both of which are perfect for snacking around the fire. Additionally, if you grow herbs like mint or rosemary, use them to infuse drinks and desserts. A minty “witch’s brew” hot chocolate or rosemary-infused cookies are an eerie but delightful treat. Additionally, you can turn garden vegetables into hearty autumn stews or pot pies for  savory touches. Serve them in carved-out pumpkin bowls for a spooky, charming presentation. Bring Your Halloween Homestead Ideas to Life! Transforming your homestead into a festive, spooky wonderland is fun and easy. These Halloween homestead ideas, from DIY decorations to farm-fresh treats, will help you embrace the season better. By using what you have and staying connected to nature, you can create a magical Halloween experience. Whether you start with simple décor or go all out with a haunted homestead, your yard will shine! Looking for more seasonal inspiration?

Halloween Candles: Create Eerie, Elegant DIY Decor for Spooky Charm

Are you looking for a spine-tingling craft that’s both eerie and elegant? Halloween candles offer the perfect solution to light up your home with spooky charm. Come along as one creative Halloween enthusiast transformed   ordinary and inexpensive candles into haunting skeleton masterpieces. These are projects you’ll definitely want to recreate this season! A whimsical Halloween candle with a skeleton lounging in a shallow bowl of wax, skeleton's head wrapped in a tiny washcloth. The candle glows softly, casting eerie shadows in a dimly lit room, spooky yet playful Halloween decor The Start of a Halloween Candle Obsession This DIY journey began with a passion for Halloween decor and a big imagination. Rather than settling for store-bought decorations, a crafty husband decided to create something unique. “Why settle for the usual when you can add a personal touch?” he asked. That’s when the idea to combine skeletons and candles came to life. Using just a few simple items from local stores, he surprised his wife with something extraordinary. As you’ll soon see, what followed was an easy yet inspiring DIY journey that Halloween fans everywhere can enjoy. Are you curious to know more? Keep reading to discover how you can craft your own spooky candles! Candle #1: Skelly’s Spa Day The first candle creation was both spooky and playful. Think of  a skeleton lounging in a bowl of molten wax as if enjoying an eternal spa day. He started the project with a plastic skeleton from Walmart, which he then transformed into something delightfully eerie. To avoid melting the plastic, he removed the legs and glued the torso to the rim of a shallow bowl. Next, he placed wicks where the knees once were and poured melted wax into the bowl, creating a “bath” for the lounging skeleton. Finally, he wrapped the skeleton’s head in a small washcloth, adding a whimsical yet spooky touch. Once cooled, the Halloween candle became the centerpiece of their spooky decor—creepy but oddly comforting! Candle #2: Skull-Studded Elegance Our intrepid artisan next  created a Halloween candle that amped up the creepiness without leaving the chic. Using two glued bowls, several black candles, and trusty DIY tools, this second project became an eerie yet refined creation. What made this candle stand out were the small plastic skulls lining the base. First, he glued half-skulls around the bottom, giving the candle a striking visual effect. Then, to complete the look, he wrapped the candle in creepy cloth, making it hauntingly beautiful. If this sparked your interest, keep reading to see how the third candle took things to an even spookier level! Candle #3: The Spider Bowl What’s Halloween without a few creepy-crawly spiders? The third candle embraced the spider theme with a candy bowl. First, he painted the bowl with a mixture of black acrylic paint and baking soda, giving it a gritty texture that resembled a tarantula’s hairy legs. After the bowl dried, it became the perfect holder for a candle and enhanced the overall eerie atmosphere. By now, you’re probably itching to start your own spooky candle-making session, right? But wait—there’s even more to come! Candle #4: Skeleton Hands at Play Next, our hero focused on simplicity with a bone-chilling twist. He transformed a black candle into a Halloween statement piece by gluing plastic skeleton hands around its sides. The result? A candle that looked like the undead was holding it—an eerie addition to any spooky setup. For added flair, he used glow-in-the-dark paint on the skeleton hands. This made the Halloween candle stand out even more in a dimly lit room! Candle #5: Behind Bars Finally, the “Behind Bars” candle took the spookiness to new heights. He encased two small skeletons in floating tea light holders, creating the illusion that they were trapped. Using hot glue, he secured the skeletons in place, and wax poured around them sealed the deal on this spine-chilling decoration.   Create Your Own Haunted Halloween Candles! Are you feeling inspired yet? These Halloween candles proves that with a little creativity and some budget-friendly materials, you can craft Halloween decor that can truly stand out. Whether you’re aiming for eerie elegance or playful spookiness, these DIY projects are perfect for transforming your home into a haunted masterpiece this Halloween season. Ready to make your own?
