YESSSS, it’s Halloween! Time for the Tricks and the Treats! I am going to guess by now, you know that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, halloween. In fact, Halloween should be everyday! To me it is. We try our best to bring you our Tricks-n-Treats issue full of fun, treats, tricks, tutorials and anything else that can help you with your home haunt, party, or what have you. The issues suprise me each year. I have my hopes that there are geeks out there with as much passion for this time of they year and will jump aboard tossing all these awesome tricks-n-treats our way, seems we are still slow at this mission, but I promise, I will never give up. I am very pleased wiyh this issue. There are some killer stories, my yearly “Topher’s Potions,” makeup tutorials, nasty treats and lots of horror. I hope you enjoy this free treat from us this year and remember if you are a haunt geek like me, start getting us your amazing home haunt photos, tutorials, baked goodies and holiday drinks for next years free to our readers “Tricks-n-Treats.” Happy Halloween, BOO!

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

By Lucy Perez Photographer: Anastasia Strate Stylist: Lucy Perez and Lisette Montano Model: Lisette Montano MUA: Lucy Perez Dia de los Muertos is Spanish for what literally translates to “Day of the Dead.” It is a sacred, Mexican holiday celebrated through October 31st to November 2nd to pray and remember those who have passed. The festivities include preparing altars and decorating our loved one’s grave stones. The altars and grave stones are decorated with bright flowers, crosses, and are used as a way to make food offerings to the dead. One of the most popular foods to offer to the dead is sugar skull candies. Sugar skulls have inspired many makeup looks and photographer, Anastasia Strate, and I wanted to join in on the fun. We’ll tell you exactly what you need to recreate this haunting, yet, beautiful look. Sugar Skull Makeup For the makeup I wanted to do something very simple and traditional.
