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.

Horror in HD Update 1.1
Just posting a quick update to the upcoming Blu-ray horror movie release list. Added at this update are Assault on Precinct 13 on December 2, Dexter: The First Season on January 6, 2009 and Dead & Buried on January 27, 2009. I also removed some of the older release dates as thay have already passed.
Personally, we here at Jack’s Attic are really looking forward to seeing Dexter in all of his bloody glory in HD. Although, it is quite bothersome that they didn’t release the first season on Blu-ray in the first place.

Jack’s Attic on Twitter
We here at Jack’s Attic love horror movies and scary video games, but something we long for is the golden age of storytelling. A time when your main source of entertainment or news was through whatever traveler was passing through your village that evening. He’d sit by the fire or around the table after supper and regale his audience with tales of far away places, of dangerous adventures, heroic warriors or dark encounters with the unknown. It’s these darker stories we would have been a sucker for. So, in fitting with a time not too far away and with the seedling idea of village on the edge of swamp beset upon by monsters, Jack’s Attic asks that you gather ’round for a story. Follow Jack to his TWITTER page and don’t forget to start from the beginning.
You can also follow the story as it unfolds on Jack’s POWNCE page as well.
eBay Shoppe Announcement and Great Expectations
This Saturday, October 4, 2008, Jack’s Attic will be officially opening our eBay Shoppe located HERE. Bidding on all of our handmade, dark art pendants will begin at just $1. So, bid early and bid often in order to make that desired piece a part of your collection. Can’t wait until Saturday? Then visit our Etsy Shoppe today.
In addition to updates on our Etsy and eBay Shoppes, you can expect us here at Jack’s Attic to comment regularly on other topics which pique our interests.
We are connoisseurs and aficionados of the darker aspects of this world. We live for Halloween, never pass up a chance to watch a horror movie, love gathering around the campfire for a ghost story or two, we stay up late playing scary video games and of course we take pride in designing and creating jewelry inspired by these darker avenues. And we love sharing these things with those of like mind. If you’ve found Jack’s Attic chances are you walk the same shadowed paths that we do. Here you’ll find us discussing books, movies, video games, art, music and current events that all pertain to or are connected by an underlying dark thread.
So come back often, huddle close to the fire, the cold is pressing in and I thought I spied movement in the fog.
After all it’s your turn to tell the next ghost story.
Jack’s Attic Shoppe Officially Opening Tonight
Tonight at approximately 6:00 p.m. (EST) our old world style, handmade, dark art jewelry will be available for purchase in our Etsy Store located HERE. So please, stop by, see what we have to offer and if any of our products strike your fancy we would be honored if you made them a part of your collection.
The Tree of Death
The old timers that gathered at Pete Merill’s corner store every Saturday morning would talk about the tree. The conversations would never start with the tree but they would always end there. The men would start by talking about the highway expansion over in Bishop and how it would hopefully bring new business into town. They’d talk about how Frank Wilmuth’s farm went under in ’82 and how it started a crippling domino effect that the town had yet to recover from. And with each exceedingly darker chapter of the town’s history that was discussed, talk of the tree drew closer and closer to the tips of their tongues. Today, it was Teddy who brought it up. “Yup, it was under that tree that old Wilmuth shot himself.”
What Goes into a Jack’s Attic Dark Art Pendant?
Each handcrafted pendant originates from a re-purposed two (2) inch by one (1) inch standard domino.
The domino is hand shaped and stained to give it a worn, weathered appearance and the impression of carved stone. The pendant is hand printed and the image is then distressed to further add to the pieces overall sense of antiquity.
A hole is then drilled into the domino and an antiqued split ring is attached. We do not glue findings or bails to our pieces because over time glue can weaken and break. We use split rings aside from standard jump rings to not only add aesthetic appeal to the piece but also because they are much more durable and assure a solid connection.
Finally, each piece is finished with an adjustable, natural dyed, antiqued brown, genuine leather cord. The leather cord accommodates lengths ranging from 14 inches to 28 inches, allowing the piece to be worn as a choker or as more traditional necklace.
With each piece we strive to craft a collectible, wearable artwork that not only appears to be timeless but will undoubtedly last you many, many years to come.
Death Reach
I was almost paralyzed, but not too much so to make a feeble effort towards flight; a backward stumble which failed to break the spell in which the nameless, voiceless monster held me. My eyes bewitched by the glassy orbs which stared loathsomely into them, refused to close; though they were mercifully blurred, and showed the terrible object but indistinctly after the first shock. I tried to raise my hand to shut out the sight, yet so stunned were my nerves that my arm could not fully obey my will. The attempt, however, was enough to disturb my balance; so that I had to stagger forward several steps to avoid falling. As I did so I became suddenly and agonizingly aware of the nearness of the carrion thing, whose hideous hollow breathing I half fancied I could hear. Nearly mad, I found myself yet able to throw out a hand to ward off the fetid apparition which pressed so close; when in one cataclysmic second of cosmic nightmarishness and hellish accident my fingers touched the rotting outstretched paw of the monster beneath the golden arch.
