Welcome (or Unwelcome) to the one and only Holst Circus…where all the carni folk have died weird or mysterious deaths.  HUGH!, I mean, HUGE round of applause to Brie & Brian for hosting this ridiculously creepy and entertaining party!  I have never been to a Halloween party where everyone played their part and actually dressed up, but also the host decorated and got into full theme.  As I write this, I’m reminded that I meant to take pictures of her party invitations (also made with as much effort and creativity as this party).  I will try to snag images of those tomorrow and update this post…so check back to see that creepy awesome sauce.  This first images is for shock and awe.  This was her main bathroom.  Check out the detail involved. Red light.  Bloody hand prints on hand towel.  Ring of blood around the entire tub, that has pooled at the bottom a bit.  Witch craft book.  Glass of blood wine.  Creepy images.  This, I’m quite sure, was EVERYONE’s favorite room in the house that night.  Makes for some fun images because of the light. 

Our Holst Circus Hosts:  Ring Leader, and The Bearded Lady

Ah yes…and us.  Matt was a Hobo clown, and I was an old, decrepit fortune teller.  We, and 4 others, had our faces professionally painted by Kristi of Pigment Pie.  If you EVER EVER EVER have any kind of party/event and need a professional face/body painter….you MUST give Kristi a Call.  She is beyond talented!!!

Hopefully this has got you super excited for Halloween, or inspired you to do your own themed, dark and creepy party.  This was so much fun…I highly recommend it!
