I know this piece of knowledge must have been stored in my brain before, but for some reason it failed to illuminate itself until... well, someone mentioned it. Funny how things work that way. As it turns out, the "Halloween Capital of the World" is a few minutes north of me in Anoka Minnesota. Hmm... capital of the world you say? That's a bold claim... a peek at their

However, I'm not one to pass judgment until I've actually seen the whole shebang, so rest assured as October creeps closer I'll make plans to check out ol' Halloweentown...
I admit, I've become quite a fan of Pottery Barn since I accidentally bumbled into there looking for.. of all things... pottery. It's also not a barn, for anyone wondering.

Originally made by Craftster user Lethargic for the season premiere of Dexter, (absolutely awesome show, you've never find a more likable serial killer... is that an odd sentiment?) these murder cupcakes would be a spooktacular festive touch to any Halloween ensemble. In fact, just bring them over to the next normal dinner party you're invited to. If you're not invited back, well, they ain't our kinda people. Get the lowdown on how she made em!
