Brenda McNeilly
Drag to set position!
I am a rabid collector of Halloween, primarily vintage, among other things. I am an animal activist, vegetarian, and am drawn to jewellery, art, lighting and clothing from the 1920s. I work in advertising as a copywriter, and my background is copywriting and journalism. My favourite horror movies are Carnival of Souls, The Haunting, The Innocents, The Exorcist, Nosferatu, Night of the Living Dead, The Evil Dead, Let's Scare Jessica To Death, The Thing, Blair Witch Project, and the Japanese versions of The Grudge and The Ring. My favourite musicians are Siouxsie and the Banshees, Iggy Pop, Bauhaus and The Stranglers. I live with my husband Robert, who is an extraordinary nature photographer who specializes in owls and loons (his Flickr name: Surfinbird@rogers.com), and usually several rescue cats, right now one cat who is an angel called Henry. I have since childhood been drawn to witches, and consider myself moderately sensitive, with a history of mediums and psychics in my family tracing back to Ireland.

Brenda is a rare breed. Her captivating images can conjure up the devil, literally….or at least an antique devil candy container. Her collections of old Halloween can cast a spell of envy upon your psyche, leaving you thirsty for more. A connoisseur of eclectic trinkets and rare treasures that can make your heart skip a beat. One can view her photo stream and get a small glimpse of the big picture that is Brenda. Incredibly intuitive and intelligent. An inspirational beauty. A muse for the wondering eye. A caring creature with a wicked sense of humor. The only thing better than her taste in antiquities is her ability to be a genuinely kind human being. A rare breed. A hard to find item. One treasure I'm truly happy I found.

ghostofhalloweenspast is an awesome FLICKr member. If you like Halloween...hers is the photo stream to visit. I'm honored when she posts a comment on my stream. She is definitely the one you want to sip a drink with in front of a roaring fire..lights out..storm raging outside and tell ghost stories...or play a good game of GREEN GHOST. Her collection of Vintage and Artistic Halloween items is like visiting a museum. Her taste is frightfully impressive. I would have to say the only thing bigger than her collection..is her heart. I consider her one of my BEST flickr pals and one of the best assets in joining this community. "B" you're THE BEST!!
