Looking Toward the Future: 2009
We here at Jack’s Attic would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of our patrons that made 2008 a great start for us. And it was just that, a start. We have a lot of very exciting designs ready to be unveiled in 2009.
New colors, shapes and materials are all part of our upcoming 2009 design collection. The foundation that was established in 2008 will provide an excellent springboard for where Jack’s Attic is going. If you were pleased with what we had to offer in 2008, we know that you will be more than satisfied with what is on the horizon.
We have a tentative release date of January 16, 2009, for our next handmade, dark art pendant design. In the meantime we will continue to post about the other dark corners we like to peer into: horror movies, ghost stories, scary video games and other things that go bump in the night.
So, once again, all of us here at Jack’s Attic whole heartedly thank all of our patrons, supporters and friends for making 2008 a great year for us and hope that you all follow us into the unknown of 2009.

With recent purchases, sightings of Jack’s Attic handmade, dark art pendants have been reported in Iowa and as far west as Nevada.

The Spirit Photography of William Hope
We here at Jack’s Attic love all things ghostly. One of the things we routinely seek out and search for is photographic evidence of life after death in the form of apparitions captured on film. In one of our recent searches we stumbled across the amazingly haunting spirit photography of William Hope. (more…)

Goody Brewster our Latest Dark Art Pendant Design
On the morning of July 15, 1692, Goody Brewster, the wife of the village grave digger, Benjamin Brewster was marched to the edge of Terryman Point. She was bound in rope and before the gathering crowd, Sheriff Corwin attempted one last time to elicit an admission of guilt from the accused woman. Spitting in his face, Goody Brewster again denied being in league with the minions of Satan or of having harmed any of the village children. Reverend Mather then stepped forward, asked the Lord to forgive Goody Brewster and then pushed her over the edge of Terryman Point.
A short time later, stories were told of sightings of Goody Brewster outside of windows and in trees on stormy evenings. Some in the village even attributed crop failure and the death of live stock to her spirit.
Inspired by the true life tales of the Salem With Trials, Goody Brewster, is our latest handmade, dark art pendant design. This latest addition to our collection is now available in our Etsy Shoppe. While there be sure to peruse the rest of our collection and remember that all orders placed between now and January 1, 2009, will receive FREE shipping.
The Darkness is Spreading
With recent purchases from our Etsy Shoppe we know have pieces of our handmade, dark art pendant collection in New York, Florida, Texas and our home state of Michigan. We also have some prospective patrons in Canada as well. It is our hope that one day at least one of our pendants finds a home in each of the fifty states. But we can only achieve that goal with you. So, please check back in often as we are always working on new designs and we are sure that you will find something that will strike your fancy.
On a related note, be sure to check back in with us tomorrow, Friday, December 5, 2008, as we will be debuting a brand new dark art pendant design.
Friday the 13th Blu-ray Art and Specs
Here is the final cover art for the eagerly awaited debut of Friday the 13th on Blu-ray. It’s pretty classy if you ask me. It’s a reworking of sorts of the original Friday poster art. A nice update with a tip of the hat to the original. I especially like the knife being the “1″ in 13. Very nice indeed.
Reminder of New Pendant Design
Just a reminder, this Friday, December 5, 2008, Jack’s Attic will be debuting a new, handmade, dark art pendant. This new design will be available for purchase in our Etsy Shoppe along with our entire collection of dark art jewelry.

The Death of Pownce

We are also pleased to present for your consideration our latest handmade, dark art pendant design: Adam
“It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open.”
Mary Shelley
Frankenstein
Adam, our latest pendant design is now available in our Etsy Shoppe. While there be sure to peruse our collection of handmade, dark art pendants and remember that all orders placed between now and January 1, 2009, will receive free shipping.
Pendant Gallery
In the process of tiddying up the computer and camera we found a memory card with some photos we neglected to upload. We thought we’d post them here for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
Any of these pendant designs can be purchased through our Etsy Shoppe.
Splatterhouse
One of the things we here at Jack’s Attic love almost as much as horror movies is scary video games. Years before Raccoon City became infested with the living dead and before the streets of Silent Hill beckoned hapless victims, there was a visceral little game called Splatterhouse. (more…)
2008 Holiday News
The 2008 holiday shopping season is well under way and due to some unexpected remodeling to the workshop we’ve been delayed in posting our upcoming holiday promotions. Now with the shop back and better than ever we’ll be debuting two new handmade, dark art pendant designs before Christmas. The first of which will be released this coming Friday, November 28, 2008. Aptly nicknamed “Black Friday”. The second new pendant design will be unveiled the following Friday, December 5, 2008.
Also on “Black Friday” we’ll be announcing a major promotion to coincide with the holiday season.
So, be sure to check back in with us later this week as we’re closing out 2008 with some exciting new designs and with our shop back in tip top shape 2009 is going to be killer.
In the meantime, please feel free to peruse our collection of antiquated, old world style, handmade, dark art jewelry in our Etsy Shoppe.
State of the Attic Address
We just wanted to drop a quick informative note letting everyone know that after a week of battling the unexpected appearance of snow and sudden temperature drops as well as some extensive upgrades/remodeling to the workshop, Jack’s Attic is back in full force.
By the end of the week we will post a more extensive update detailing the upcoming holiday season, an announcement regarding new pendant designs and a few other tidbits about the comings and goings around the Attic. So, stick around. Things are just on the verge of getting pretty exciting around here and we’re sure you won’t want to miss what we have in store.

My Name is Bruce coming to Blu-Ray
What would happen if a small Oregon town was besieged by ancient Chinese demons? Who would you turn to in this dark hour? Well if you had Ash from the Evil Dead series living next door he’d be a good choice. But what if you had Bruce Campbell, the actor who portrayed Ash in those movies, as your neighbor? That is the premise of “My Name is Bruce” the new movie which will finally be released on Blu-Ray on February 10, 2009.
When the avatar of the Chinese war deity Guan Di attacks the small town where Bruce Campbell resides, the townsfolk mistake him for his character of Ash and designate him as the hero chosen to stop the demons besieging them. Hilarity ensues.
The film has garnered a lot of positive reviews and is currently touring the country, with Bruce Campbell introducing the film and sticking around for “a spirited” Q&A afterwards. So before you pick it up on Blu-Ray in February, be sure to check out this LIST to see if My Name is Bruce is playing in your area.
Baron Samedi – New Limited Edition Dark Art Pendant Design
Today, November 2 is the “Day of the Dead” known in Voodoo as “Fet Gede”. It is the day to honor the dead and pay tribute to Baron Samedi. In the religion of Voodoo, Baron Samedi is the spirit who stands at the crossroads of this life and the next. It is believed that he also has the power to awaken the dead.
In honor of “Fet Gede” we here at Jack’s Attic proudly offer a new, limited edition, dark art pendant depicting a freshly risen ghoul. Our tribute to the Baron. This design has been hand stamped and colored and given the same careful attention to detail and craftsmanship that one would expect from Jack’s Attic. Only five pieces of this particular design have been made and once they are purchased they will never be duplicated. Each piece has been hand numbered and dated to commemorate the “Day of the Dead”.
These limited edition, dark art pendants are now available for purchase in our Etsy Shoppe.
The 100 Candle Game
This is a game I saw showcased on the A&E show Paranormal State. It was believed to have been a right of passage and test of courage for Samurai in feudal Japan. I suggested we play it at our Halloween Party this year and I was glad I did. It involves lighting 100 candles (we lit as many candles as there were guests). You then turn off all the lights in the house, all of them. Next each person takes a turn telling a TRUE ghost or supernatural story. The tale doesn’t have to be a first hand account but it must be true. After each person tells their story they blow out their candle. As each story is told the room gets darker and darker until you are sitting in pitch darkness. It is said that the “game” is an evocation and by the time the room is shrouded in darkness a spirit will manifest itself. We played our 100 candle game in a house known to be haunted and by the end of the game, three different people reported seeing the same thing; a glowing orb in the upper corner of a closet. One of them also said that they had seen a tall black shape pass in front of the orb. The owner of the house said that while one of the stories was being told he saw something moving in his kitchen. All of us were in the living room at that time and no one else was in the house. Also when I was telling my story all of us heard a loud popping noise come from the kitchen.
It was a truly creepy experience and as the room got darker and darker the excitement and fear grew. It’s an easy game to set up, you just need some friends and some candles and you’re all set. Just be warned that when you’re done you may have a few new guests amongst you. HERE is a link to a small article on the games origins.
