Thrifty Witch

If you're looking for seasonal items to decorate your Second Life without spending a lot of L$, try visiting events and doing hunts (See the destination guide for suggestions).

In some cases, you will have to hunt for something like a pumpkin or skull, and you may need to pay a few Lindens at others, but frequently the items are just sitting there with a sign that reads "FREE GIFT". Be aware that many activities end with the month, so don't delay!

I decorated my little pumpkin house (and myself! ) with freebees and hunt items available now.

If you like challenging hunts and wonderful prizes, I recommend doing the Fallen Gods Hunt. There are amazing gifts from many of your favorite fantasy creators for those who find all the hourglasses in this grid-wide hunt.
Fallen Gods is celebrating 10 years of amazing fantasy skins and other items from the skin carver, Alia Baroque.
Happy Anniversary, Alia!
The mask I'm wearing is a free gift from Fallen Gods @ Trick or Treat Lane.

A good group for thrifty purchases is 1L1H. Participating merchants make their regular items available for L$1. The challenging part is that you have only one hour after the notice goes out to get to the special vendor.
The family portraits in this picture are two of a set of six that I got @ Simply Shelby on 1L1H.

The Wash is also celebrating its10th anniversary. Offering everything from clothing to makeup to decorations, most items are L$10 with a few L$50 items and some gachas. There are lots of free gifts as well.

Autumn Leaves @ Trick or Treat Lane

Rich colors of red, amber and rust remind us that the year is drawing to a close. As the weather cools and the leaves fall, many of us feel more in tune with nature and closer to the earth than at any other time.

Chatting with a friendly raven in the graveyard @ Trick or Treat Lane and feeling like an Autumn Goddess in a gown from Spyralle .

Trick or Treat Lane: Don't be a basic witch

Why be a basic witch when you can be a smokin' hot one, or a cute one, or a super sexy one?
Visit Trick or Treat Lane for the finest in witchy attire. You didn't really think we ran around in long Victorian dresses and high button shoes all the time, did you?

There are lots of cute shorty dresses, tees, leggings and accessories for the modern witch.
I'm wearing the tee and leggings from Jackalope. The top has a hud with seasonal sayings and the bats on the leggings are animated. It's quite mesmerizing to watch my pants move all by themselves. The batty key pets flying around my head are available from Rivendale in a variety of colors. And of course, my nails are EXCLUSIVEs from DP Koffin Nails.

Trick or Treat Lane October 13 ~ November 3

If you're looking for the perfect setting for your own haunted house or Halloween party, look no farther than Trick or Treat Lane!
Lore offers a complete cemetery at a very reasonable price. Each piece from the open graves to the headstones is less than 3 LI with most being only 1LI and they are exceptionally well done. I only put out one of each style in the little graveyard in my skybox, but you could certainly make a huge graveyard just as easily. The grave stones come plain or moss covered. Lore also offers a wonderful set of coffins as their FREE treat.

Of course magick always works better when you look good (okay, maybe not, but it's always nice to have a sexy outfit!) Ready for spell work in a lovely Wicked dress from Secret October and Sabrina Slippers from 1313 Mockingbird Lane. The dress is beautifully textured and the shoes come with a texture change hud to coordinate with your wardrobe. The Zombie Wake nails from Dark Passions Koffin Nails work perfectly with the kelly and violet of the dress.

Trick or Treat Lane October 13 ~ November 3

At Trick or Treat Lane, you will find treats galore as well as a few tricks. There are wonderful seasonal, gothy, witchy items at really good prices.
Visit each of the cute little Halloween houses and tell them "Trick or Treat". There are many free items and exclusives as well as new designs @ 31% off.

My first treat is this cute Exclusive outfit from Livid. There are 4 styles and colors for the Spell Knit Sweater, the Spell Suede Skirt and the Witchy leggings. Each sells separately, so you can mix and match to your heart's content. Be sure to pick up the sexy Wicked Pointed Suede Boots and the FREE Spiders Suede Witch Hat (not shown here) as well.

A hit and run catting...

Lilith

Lilith ~ you've heard the story a thousand times but maybe you didn't realize how far back it went: The couple is happy till the woman decides she's tired of him making all the decisions.
Next thing you know, he's found a younger more compliant girl and the woman who stuck by him through the early years is demonized and cast out.

Did you know that Lilith was Adam's first wife? Yes, that Adam.
She decided she was tired of his crap. He went running to the Boss and asked for a new wife. You've probably heard of her. Her name was Eve.
Lilith got herself a new lover, was declared a demon and now she gets revenge by ummm... weakening men in their sleep and stealing the babies that she has been denied.

Who wouldn't want to be a sexy night demon? Now you can be Lilith (or at least look really sexy!) thanks to NY Designs @ Square1. The Tunika gown, pasties, panties, Circle of Life Necklace, animated bento snake belt and strappy thigh boots are all included. A hud controls the textures so you can wear white or black, gold decorated or not and control the amount of transparancy, gold, silver, white or black on the metal parts. The snake comes in 3 colors and two sizes.

When you get to Square1, check out the stores around the drop point and then head for the Cemetary to find the rest of the shops. There are a lot of goodies just through the spooky gates.

+Aii & Ego and Nightmare 2017 Event

Princess Aii, the unequivocal artist of the unsettling is back again with the Nightmare 2017 Event, which is even more nightmarish than last year's. The scenarios have been designed based on survey responses from SL residents about what scares them the most and includes everything from traditional jump scares and arachnophobia to things like claustrophobia and a couple of my own personal favorites - creepy dolls and endless corridors.
Check the website to learn more and to vote for next year's creepiness

I'm showing just a few pictures to whet your appetite and to serve as an introduction for those of you who may not have participated before...

You arrive at the sim and find creepy shops with all sorts of goodies. I'm wearing the Keeper Mask available from Egosumaii. The mask is available in 5 shades (Natural shown). When you have shopped to your heart's content, walk into the center of the star chart in the middle of the shops to start your descent into nightmare...

You come to a door. Be sure to read all the instructions and to take your flashlight, because you will need it. Turn on sounds, add your hud, use mouselook as much as possible and remember to smile because that way you can check to see if you have all your teeth.

BTW, you will be hunting for teeth. If the thought of collecting molars bothers you, turn back now! You need to collect 25 of them in your hud as well as keys to get you from one location to another. Click on teeth and keys as you find them. You will want them later!

Eyes ~ +Aii Dreamweaver [I know you can't see them, but they match the ones on my mask & hands] 4000 Flickr followers gift for Aii group members @ the store
Body ~ Maitreya Lara 4.1
Skin ~ 7 Deadly S[k]ins Drow (Evil pumpkin hunt item @ the 7 store)

Outfit ~ Salt & Pepper Diamonds hooded robe COMMON gacha
Hands to See ~ +Aii & Ego gift for completing the whole Nightmare experience and collecting all the teeth and keys

Each merchant has a special free gift for brave souls who survive intact, which can't be collected till the hud is full.
I told you you'd want all those teeth later!
