    That sign is dialogue from Disney’s “Haunted Mansion” ride and might represent copyright violations as well, eh?

    But hey, no kid’s room is complete without a gost.

      I was just thinking how do you get cadaverous, pallor and metamorphosis right but fuck up ghost and spell but then I realized it’s from the Haunted Mansion. So the trick would be copyright infringement and the treat would be a cease and desist letter from Disney?

        The real horror there is the combination of fonts. Why won’t people think of THE CHILDREN????

          Or at least our eyes. Holy shit, that’s a mess, in addition to being actionable.

          And I should add the “which” thing makes me nostalgic; I loved the “Which Witch?” game when I was a kid and used to drive mom crazy by wanting to play it year-round. She thought it would just be for Halloween.

      Disney’s too busy busting Lucas Films copyright users these days. If it were Harley Davidson, she’d get a letter in no time. I swear they cruise Etsy every day.

      The mohair lady got it right in the description, but wrong in the subject/title. I guess the title was copied and pasted. Lordie, Halowien? Wonder how she’d do with Frankenstein.

    I was impressed at the correct spelling of sensor…

    My friends tell me I’m too picky but I hate when guys hit on me online and CANNOT spell. Classic of the week: I hope I’m not making a foul of myself senting this to you…. OY!

    Off to proof MY etsy listings….

      They’re hard to do right. When I was doing school spirit stuff, we sold a lot of shirts like that.

      But that one is too many fonts that don’t go together.

      Not only a ghost, but one wearing a mask so it can’t be ID’ed later in a line up with Casper, etc. That ghost means no good! Nighty, night!

          The 5-10 year-old child’s closet is the best place to keep embalmed pets and relatives until they can be buried because kids that age don’t have very much clothing yet.

            You could also keep your “Catsket” in your child’s closet until family members can all fly in for the kitty funeral.

          Only if Mommy was stupid enough to pay that price for the yarn in the first place. Cheap crappy yarn made in Turkey for $10 a skein? Not even. Even the MSRP is only $3.25!

            When I was a teenager, I used to babysit a kid who had a similar night light, but the light-up part was Jesus’s bleeding-heart. I couldn’t look at it.

              That makes me think of a new awesome thing I should craft.
              We saw lots of Tricker Treakers with the Scream masks that have “blood” streaming down the face… Your Jesus bleeding heart light could have that same effect. Or Jesus on the cross with crown of thorns and blood streaming down his face.

              Shit like this makes me glad I grew up Jewish. Of course there is that one time my Pentecostal Great Aunt Dorothy told me that Jesus was going to get a hold of me and make me speak in tongues. I slept with a baseball bat by my bed for 6 months straight because I didn’t want Jesus nor the Holy Ghost to come and get me! Ahhh. Good times.

    Okay, goul isn’t correct, but spiel is just two letters switched. It’s the spiel from the beginning of the ride, not a spell.

    . . . It’s still totally copyright infringement, though, and the Mouse really frowns on that.

    Wow, my kid is scared of the dark! I think I’ll get her a ghost nightlight, preferably a handmade fire hazard from a seller who can’t spell ghost. Even better, this one is a wooden gost stuck in front of a light, so it’ll cast huge gost shadows all around her bedroom! Just what every frightened child needs!
