During the month of October, I receive many requests to come see the plethora of haunted sims that come to life in Second Life. In addition there are many hunts that help us find spooky places and items to decorate our own homes and sims to prepare for the tricks and treats of the season, however there is usually one place each year that sticks out as a favorite.

Gattina Dumpling and Charlotte Bartlett's newest creative project, Hotel Dare is a collaborative effort involving some of SL's most innovative artists , builders, & designers. Each room of this hotel is a creation of a different artist. The hope is that artist will cycle in and create different rooms in the hotel about every three months. The artists that currently have works at Hotel Dare are Four Yip, Eelilahlee Westland, Chicanery Turnbull, Censored Mylunt, JoJorunoo Runo, Speedy Horner, Dizzy Banjo, Meat Carver, Poid Mahovlich, Mijn Boa, Rachel Breaker. 

Ding-Dong the Wtich is Dead! I landed at Magic of Oz, at Draxtor Despres’ advice, and was right there on the Yellow Brick Road! I had the choice to go to Emerald City, the Witch's Castle or Munchkin Land. Since Dorothy started in Munchkin Land, I figured it would be appropriate to go there myself (feeling strangely dressed for such a wonderful place..but I haven't any blue gingham dresses in my inventory!!)
