Automatons keep moving, no matter what!: The news was recently abuzz with an incredible story; Saudi Arabia made an android, or robot, a citizen. Ever since a 1797 brochure called Mr. Haddock’s Andorides was published about an exhibition of automatons, the fascination with this fusion of doll and machinery has never stopped. There are all kinds of horror films and novels about them, and dolls, for that matter. Automatons even have Facebook pages devoted to them.

2017 Lights On Tour at Terror at Skellington Manor! We Love You!
Here is my favorite all time haunted house, and de facto doll museum. The animatronics are to die for, and the dolls on display grown in number every year. What I love is the hospitality and creativity, and the fact that the dolls are cared for. The staff is truly interested in them, and often asks me about them when I visit. This year's Theater of the Macabre theme was very literary, with entire rooms devoted to literary and library themes. The green mist room was sheer genius. Happy New Year to my favorite ghoulies, and here, with their gracious permissions, are this year's photos, taken by my husband, Dino Milani. Thanks, Penny, and everyone at Terror at Skellington Manor!
