BamPu Legacies @ Spookzilla

Another look at the madness that is Spookzilla. I combined items from two of my sponsors with a skin that I stumbled over while looking for a different spook to create a unique witchy experience.

There are 250 merchants represented at Spookzilla in 2 adjacent regions. Each merchant has multiple spooks to hunt down and purchase for L$25 or less. At last count, there were 1700 spooks hidden, so get out your magnifying glasses and go Hunting; this is going to take a while!

  • Finding all of BamPu Legacies' light blue spooks in the Slytherin Region will bring you this Phantasm Cottage Tiny Witch House, Prop Trees, Haunted Lamps, Metal Pumpkins and Vases and a flower-decorated Witch Fence. It makes the perfect backdrop for your Halloween pictures

  • Outfit [QE] Designs Arachne Dress, Sleeves, Hat and Heels. Find the parts in lilac spooks that look like they've taken a punch
  • Spooky look from Heaux has a pensive ghost face on the tattoo layer for LeLutka EvoX (head only) 3 versions to find in half pink/half blue spooks

The Halloween Tree

October isn't all about jump scares and things that go bump in the night. It's also about beautiful colors and stories shared among friends.

I visited the story area of Haunted Hollow in Chestnut Hills, where you can hear the nice folks from the Seanchai Library present The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury. 
I have loved this book since I was about 12 years old, and the readers do an excellent job of presenting it. You've missed Part 1, but there will be a recap and readings of Parts 2 & 3 October 23 and 30 @ 1:30 slt . The region is lovely. There is a hunt and other seasonal activities throughout the month, so be sure to drop by.

You can look as colorful as you wish while maintaining that seasonal feel as shown with this look that you'll find @ Designer Showcase.
  • EXCLUSIVE Gown by Le'La includes hud to mix and match the bodice, ribbons, midriff and skirt in 20 colors. The skirt has a swirling glitter effect to add to the elegance
  • Necklace and Earrings are from Heartsdale Jewellery. 3 metals and 9 jewel tones make it a lovely addition to all sorts of looks

[QE] @ Spookzilla October 20 - November 1


This is a "region wide hunt featuring 200 designer brands that have hidden juicy prizes all over the land for you to seek out! We are a tricky bunch, maybe even cruel, as we do not offer so much as breadcrumbs to prize locations. It's up to you to scouer the land, looking high and low for floating ghosties, stuffed with your precious prizes!" *

The hardest part of the Spookzilla Hunt is finding all the pieces to complete a collection. The spooks are pretty easy to find but there are SO MANY of them! I find myself looking for the [QE] PURPLE spooks and suddenly I'm distracted by TEAL or YELLOW or... yes, even PINK! Check out the Hunt Keys for prize pictures.


Showing about half of the items from [QE]'s Spookzilla collection L$25ea ~   
  • Dark Fairytale Book Bundle 
  • Dark Fairytale Birdcage [4 ribbon & flower colors / 10 candle mixes]

Practically Magic

  • I love it when something that wasn't really intended to be used as a costume fits in with my very busy fantasy life. Case in point is this sexy look from the October Designer Showcase collection. I combined items from several of our creators and nobody can deny that it just screams "magic".
  • SAS highly textured leather Dress and Bolero come in 9 colors sold separately. I love the tailored lines but it comes with fur for the upper sleeves if you prefer a softer look. It also includes an asymmetric headpiece (not shown)
  • Jewelry from HJ includes Earrings and Necklace with your choice of 3 metals and 6 jewel tones
  • Thigh high laced Heels from BlackBirdLace have 20 colors in the hud for the main shoe, laces, undersole and knots
  • Livia provides the Pro Nails and "Net Frenchies" hudsI'm using the yellow/orange hud. You must have the Basic Pro Nails set sold separately to use the huds.

Strange and Unusual


We don't often get costumes in the Designer Showcase collections, but there's a really cute one by Luna Chelsea this round.

The costume includes the Dress, Gloves with long green nails, Stockings, Shoes and Hat.


I'm posing in a Burtonesque space in my studio decorated with pieces of the Nightmare Pleasure v2 collection from BamPu Legacies. Oogie Boogie Graveyard comes with the Graveyard, Headstone, Bare tree with Raven and Spiked Fence. The Jack Full Moon glows in the background. You'll find these items from BamPu Legacies in Haunted Nawlins till November 1.
