An enormous scary tree in an illustration by Nikolai Vorobiev for a 1970s book on Russian folk tales. I'm embarrassed that I know nothing about the story because it looks cool. However, the picture seemed ideal for #ThickTrunkTuesday.

A gigantic tree with eyes waves claw-like branches menacingly as a knight on horseback, dwarfed by its size, prepares to fire an arrow. Crows are flying around.

Image: a skeleton in decaying motley is seated against a dank stone wall in a deep dungeon. The floor is cobbled stone and beside him is a rickety cloth and pole sign advertising various wares for sale. The skeleton raises a single shining coin. The text bubble below him reads:
RATTLING AGGIE
"Ah! Brave traveller! We've descended quite far have we not? Do not fear my visage, I still have wares to sell thee if you've coin or rot to spare!"

Fantasmicalloween Day 5: Vintage Halloween Animation Character

The Pail Man - a rubberhose style character from a long lost animation last seen during the early 1930s. He's hunched over a house, long wavy arms flapping in the moonlight among the fluttering autumnal leaves. His jack o lantern-shaped candy pail head lowered in shadows.

A list of Halloween-themed prompts. Giant pumpkin art by Rhode Montijo!

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

There are many #legends of the Devil flying away with churches, only to be forced to bring them back again by the power of prayer. #Folklore about building material being mysteriously moved overnight to other locations may reflect the need to found churches at established Pre-Christian sacred sites.

The Devil, with horns, hooves and batlike wings, carries a medieval church through the air. Below him a crowd of people look up: one is holding aloft a cross.
