We are devastated to have woke up to such tragic news about in Houston TX. We must join together to help rebuild this shop and support A member of our oddities community. A message from : On November 1st, a man walked into our oddities and curiosities shop, The Wilde Collection in Houston TX with a can of gasoline and set our little shop on fire. A few of our pets were lost as well as many irreplaceable items.

Having this shop has always been a dream of ours. It was an incredible feeling seeing so many of you come and appreciate what we tried to do. You inspired so much of our shop and even inspired much of my art itself.

We are completely devastated and at a loss for words. Your outpouring words of support and encouragement have given us the will to rise from our ashes.

We have never done anything like this and there is a part in us that feels uncomfortable asking for your help. All we ever wanted was to help provide beautiful and unique items for your home and offer you the immersive experience that was The Wilde Collection.

With your encouragement, we have started this crowd funding campaign. Thank you all so much for your messages. We don't know how much we will need or how long it will take but one thing we are certain is that we MUST rebuild.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give. We will find a way to repay your generosity. Lawyer B Douglas II Tyler G. Zottarelle The Wilde Collection. LINK IN STORY TO DONATE

Ohhhh!! For all the witchy women (and men) !!

It's here... Halloween movie challenge! The rules are simple: Try and watch 31 horror movies in Oct. then on IG and FB to track others. As a bonus, if you watch a foreign film, list what country you "traveled to". Unable to watch 31 movies? No worries! We still want to see your list! Looking forward to your creeper lists.

Creatures of the night. Fearsome and foreboding winged beasts that want nothing more than to drink your blood ...
As an animal lover and horror fan, I often find myself cringing at the image of plastic bats bouncing on barely hidden wires. But not for the reason you might think.
Bats and many other animals are often portrayed in Horror as creatures of evil. Winged familiars of the devil himself. This is of course utter nonsense. Bats are incredible, graceful creatures who would sooner hide than sink their fangs into your pulsing neck!
However, the one thing film makers did get right is that Bats do love to hang out in old churches and graveyards.
There are at least eight species of bat known to use uk churches for roosting. These include Natterer's, the brown long-ear, and one of the uk's largest species, the Serotine.
Over a potential 30 year life span, Bats usually return each year to the same roosting place where they feel safe. They are often found at eaves level, particularly in the naves and aisle of the church. Roosting bats can also be found within small crevices, behind paintings and other wall hangings.
It's easy to see why Bats lend themselves to Horror. They can be seen flying over rooftops and amongst gravestones because churchyards are a plentiful source of insects. A small Pipistrelle will consume up to 3000 midges and other insects each night. In active months Bats are a natural control of insect numbers.
As much as I adore the creepy imagery of old films, it is an unfair typecast for this mammal whose numbers are under threat. In the uk Bats are a protected species, but as with everything more education and information is needed to raise awareness of their plight.

For the love of Halloween and consumerism...here is what Target's 2017 Halloween is dishing up... The last few years were TERRIBLE, and not creepy enough. Although the new Nocturne Collection is causing a stir, NOTHING compares to the year of the Ouija themed items, or their rad "gilded" napkins with bugs, eyeballs, hands and snakes.

I am still hedging that Pottery Barn will kill it again, and in a good way. Do not be a hater, their preview has a picture of two skeletons carrying a platter on their backs.

Who am I missing!?

We are almost to August...this has been a wild year, but we are back. So to kick off August I will start with a HUGE ASS CAVE in Vietnam:

"Imagine trekking straight into the depths of the world’s largest cave on an expedition unlike any other. A cave so massive that a 747 could fly through its largest cavern. A space so mesmerising that it forces you to question whether you are still on this planet at all. Foreign landscapes found nowhere else, enormous stalagmites rising from the ground and statuesque stalactites hanging from the ceiling like an alien species."

It's that time of year again Creepy Girls...

It's that time of year again !
Nearly all of my jewels will be 20% off with the code 'TAXDEATH17' used a checkout starting at 12am Friday EST USA. There will be a specific 'collection' of sale items to shop from with the code. Jewels that are not on sale are many of the ones with gemstones, this is because they are already not marked at traditional pricing. Both 'Belonging' rings with gemstones WILL be on sale. This is the absolute last time the 'Belonging to the Underworld' ring will be on sale before it's permanently retired May 1st. I will be posting heavily the next few days about jewels that will be on sale & as always Jenny { } will be available to answer your questions VIA email: [email protected]. This is the best way to get an answer to a question timely, I don't check my DMs as Jenny is specifically focused on customer service. Please be mindful that she is only one person so don't panic if you don't hear from her immediately, every email will be answered with enough time for you to get an order in. Sale times are generally out busiest times of year & therefore our turnaround time changes as we work with a small, family run business who we remain loyal to as they gave me my start when many other casters thought my work was too difficult to cast. So please keep this in mind as well. We are so grateful for your business & your endless kindness! 🖤
