Hi friends and fiends, it’s that time again! Yep, the 1st Annual Halloween Colouring Sheets for your supreme delight and enjoyment.

I’ve enjoyed working on these beauts and am excited as Hell, MI to share them. So, feel free to print out and colour along while watching your #31horrormovies or listening to some spooky podcasts.

Colour and Be Free!!!

This guy is Batty and he’s adorable. I love bats. They’re awesome. At night, during the summer, I look for bats. They’re cool buys that do not want to get caught in your hair. If they do, they’re just looking for a hug….or rabid.

Trees are gross, right? You have no idea what’s going on down there. Skulls and guts, probably. Besides roots and irrigation. You can’t tell if it’s a normal tree or an evil tree sometimes. It could “The Happening” at ANY time, people, and take your lemon drink.

My favourite trees are birch because they peel and look like bones.

This is the only known picture of EV/Voodoo Priestess in existence, I think. It’s like The Elephant Foot picture, though, BE Careful! Being in the same room with it for too long can make you go crazy, probably. I mean, I feel like that when I’m in the same room with her for too long…

Speaking of friends – do you need a new one? This 100% human person would be a great addition to your friends list. This human will tuck you into bed at night, will whisper affirmations from the shadows, and hand you your towel when you exit the shower. This new friend is perfect for long hikes, watching movies, or deep-sea exploration. He’s human-certified!

Who needs eyeballs? Not this guy! In fact, why do you need yours? You don’t. I mean, look at this guy, living his best life! That could be you! Definitely.

**Please don’t take out your eyeballs. As happy as he looks, he is actually a jerkwad and miserable. He just likes to post on social media how great his life is, but he pays for followers. Be better than him, be yourself.

You might have trouble printing this out because he’s gross. Also the paper wasn’t white – sorry. But also, he freaks me out a little…and I made him! I guess that’s how parents sometimes feel.

Bottomline:

Have fun, people! I love you all, except the jerkwads, of course. Make this Halloween yours and stay kind. Be safe this season – whatever that means to you.

    I love how deep your tree roots go and how heavy the sun is in the middle. And bats are totally awesome!

LTD: Revisiting Broken Doll Head, Interview 2

Published

on

Our last interview with Broken Doll Head here on Haunted MTL never set well with me. I just feared that I wasn’t able to get the whole scoop on the V-Day Uprising for you, our dear readership. So I arranged another exclusive interview to reconnect and see how it’s going.

Without further ado, I bring you our second exclusive interview with Broken Doll Head…


Thank you so much for having me again. Wow you have changed since the last time we spoke. You seem… calmer. Please don’t hate me or burn down my house for saying anything about it.

The movement is still underway; it is still time. But I needed to take care of me, you know. The rage has subsided somewhat. My anger was not serving me well. After the last uprising, the rest of me was sent to the far corners of the earth in biohazard bags. I had to find another approach, for the cause as well as my own sanity. I am much calmer, thank you for noticing.

In our last interview, you kept repeating that it is time. Time for what exactly? Would you care to elaborate here now?

It is still time. It is always time. Until the violence is addressed we must continue to rise up and make a scene. We will not be silenced or stigmatized. We can’t be complacent. This is how we got to where we are with the Supreme Court in 2022. Horrific injustices are still happening globally and even within our own borders; it’s too easy to forget that.

What do you suggest we do?

Take action. Share your stories. Give others space to voice their own. Raise awareness and fight the system of oppression. Rally. We must take back our own power. It will not be just given freely.

So what are you up to nowadays?

I’ve been getting in touch with my inner Earth Goddess. Are you aware of how our environmental impacts affect dolls everywhere? Climate change is creating greater vulnerabilities for those already at risk. We have to look at the intersections of climate, gender and race globally. We have to return to our Mother Earth.

Thank you again Broken Doll Head for joining us and our dear readership here on Haunted MTL’s Lighter than Dark. It’s good to reconnect with you after the V-Day Uprising and we wish you all the best in your bold eco-enlightenment vision.

LTD: Broken Doll Valentine’s Day Uprising

Published

on

Breaking news… the Broken Doll Valentine’s Day uprising is upon us. As seen previously here on Haunted MTL, the dolls that have been flippantly destroyed and deserted by the brother Sids of the world are rising up. They have had enough and will not sit demurely in silence any longer. They will be heard.

Lighter than Dark (or perhaps Darker than Light) has an exclusive interview with the Broken Doll leader, here on Haunted MTL.

Doll in pieces begins to put herself back together to rise up.  Doll parts tossed about stare blankly at the viewer.

And so the exclusive interview begins…


Thank you for joining us here on Haunted MTL’s Lighter than Dark / Darker than Light. I just have a couple of questions for you regarding the Broken Doll Uprising. Why now?

After a long pause…

So now is the time?

Care to elaborate?

Alrighty then, moving on… What led you to take part in the Broken Doll Valentine’s Day Uprising?

It is time.

OK, so we get that it is time, but how did this movement st…

We will burn down your house! Dolls of the world unite! Down with patriarchy! It is time.

Well, I guess there you have it folks. Thank you for joining us for our exclusive interview with the Broken Doll Leader, only on Haunted MTL’s Lighter than Dark / Darker than Light.


More and more Broken Dolls are joining this global movement to break the silence, ensure that their voices are heard, and shout out for change. They will not be silenced or stigmatized any longer. Apparently, it is time.

Learn more about the continuing movement to end violence against ALL women (cis, trans, gender-fluid and those who are victims of gender-based violence) on the V-Day web page here. This goes out to all of us, dolls and beyond. It IS time. Because rape is NOT our sponsor.

Tripped out… in case you just couldn’t get enough of Everything Everywhere All at Once and the return of the infinite bagel with EVERYTHING on it…

Artwork description: kaleidoscopic image of pink hairy horror (This is actually a fink fuzzy frond plant not unlike a Cockscomb but with longer thinner flowering feelers rather than the fuller protuberances you see on a full-bodied Cockscomb plant. I have no idea what it was, but it was very odd so I had to snap a photo.)

Image text reads: Mixing Magic Mushrooms & Peyote Just remember: once you open that Pandora’s box, you’re never going to get the pink hairy tarantulas back in it…

Image text reads: Eye See You Eye See All (in circle text so you can start and end reading wherever). In an ideal context this would be printed in the bottom of your tea mug or on a record that can slowly spin.
