THIS DAD IS GHOULISHLY GREAT

Forget the family Christmas card: this dad knows how to wish his friends a Happy Hallowe'en. (Disclaimer: no children were harmed in the making of this post)

This all began with a charmingly Hallowe'en-themed scene. Ah, the perennial squeeness of a baby in fancy dress!

Perhaps certainly the inspiration behind M&S sandwich platters. Like what you see here? For recipes, please refer to celebrity chef Jonathan Swift's works

Spooky scene creator Marshall says, 'this 2004 pic got the most complaints (until 2009), with a dozen or more people threatening to turn me in to the nspcc. Clearly, Phoebe wasn't happy, but then neither would you be if a care bear was bursting out of your chest, Alien-style.' – @MarshallJulius

I just think these kids are the coolest.

Great, great, so great BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS AROUND WITH THESE OCCULT SYMBOLS, MAN. Srsly, like, think of the risk involved.

A close competitor with the craft beer trend, blood wine didn't hit it off. BRING BETTER GAME, BLOOD WINE.

'A horror movie fan herself, my dentist was kind enough to allow me the use of her surgery in the spirit of authentic location work. My thanks to her and her trusty assistant, who I'd best not identify in case their boss doesn't have a sense of humour. Let me just say, she's a brilliant dentist. The best who ever hacked into me.' – @MarshallJulius

MAKING FRIENDS AT THE DENTIST? Pure evil.

Squee x friggin' LOADS:

'For years I’d wanted to shoot a full-on zombie scenario with my game and gorgeous girls, one chowing down upon the other’s steaming guts in a loving tribute to George Romero.

I’m proud to say, of my own efforts, that I fashioned the blood and guts myself (search terms: Ballistics Gel and Kensington Gore). I’m prouder though, of Maia (8) and Phoebe (6), for their sense of adventure, their tireless enthusiasm, and their ability to see the joke.

Thanks also to Martyna, my willing accomplice and invaluable assistant, especially for her suggestion to put crushed-up leaf bits in Phoebe’s hair. Finally, obviously, endless love and enormous thanks to Ruta, my beautiful, patient wife, for accepting that this is something I simply have to do each year, for letting me get the kitchen all bloody, and allowing me to store my guts in the fridge while they were setting.

I suspect I went too far in 2009. God, I hope so.' – @Marshall Julius

What's more demonic, evil voodoo or red lighting?

No words, but spare a thought for the person who stumbled upon this scene being created when out jogging.

School report: Maia and Phoebe are conscientious, studious, set excellent examples to their peers...

This year's effort could be Darth Maul high on life, photobombing... or Insidious-inspired.

I know which I like to think it is.
