Ghosts, Goblins, And Dead Batmen

Hallowe'en is upon us, and so for today I step out of the fall colours. The Comic Book Shoppe has two locations in the city, one of them being downtown. This is in their front window at present.


It includes Batman, in the Black Lantern Corps phase. Long story short, the Black Lantern Corps are a legion of resurrected from the dead heroes and villains in the command of a master, and yes, Batman was dead. Sort of. He got better.


The Green Lantern costume was inside. To make things even more complicated, there's a whole spectrum of colours of Lantern Corps in the Green Lantern continuity. Yes, I am a comics reader. Do you have a headache yet?


A barbershop in the Glebe had its front windows busted some weeks back, and while waiting on new glass, had some art put onto the wood. Suited for the occasion.


This Jack O'Lantern is inside a bank in Little Italy.


Library branches here have Hallowe'en displays at the present. This is in the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library.


This evil looking clown was on a rooftop out in the Lincoln Fields area.


A place in Centretown had quite a bit around their porch.


This was another place in Centretown.


And I finish with these decorations in the Little Italy area.

  6. William - Halloween is such a fun event. I am impressed that the shop had the idea to put artwork on the wood, and even more wowed by the art itself! And the jack-o-lantern is well done. We carved ours yesterday - always enjoyable. Happy Halloween to you!

  7. I had never really thought about whether or not Halloween was celebrated in Canada. Nice to know. By the way, I love the green lantern.

  8. You love it, or not. We are not raised with this and it all looks rather creepy to me.

  9. The weather forecast for this evening does not look pleasant at all, so I hope all the little trick or treaters dress warmly. Yesterday it was a mere 6 degrees with rain, but I am sure that the folks in the fire zones in California (seems like half the state) would welcome those conditions.

  13. Decorating for Hallowe’en is big here now. Some homes have as much decoration as they do at Christmas.

  22. In Belgium Hallween is not much celebrated in some parts a bit. Except in some shops you don't see any outside decoration. Last year no kids came for trick and treats and this year it seems that nobody is coming neither.
