One of the articles of faith here at Macabre Republic is that it's never too early to start thinking about what you will be for Halloween. This year we all will have some very special options to choose from, since Clive Barker has teamed with Disguise to design a unique line of costumes and accessories. Halloween has always been near and dear to Barker's heart, as seen in books like The Thief of Always and stories like "The Departed" (a.k.a. "Hermione and the Moon"), not to mention the haunted attractions he designed in the late 90s for Halloween Horror Nights at the Universal theme parks in Hollywood and Orlando. This year, though, he is determined to reinvent the holiday, turning it into a pageant of dark fantasy. The products of his extraordinary vision are gathered in Clive Barker's Dark Bazaar; costumes and accessories are listed on the dedicated website, and the video below offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the creation process:
One final note: last week Clive Barker underwent successful throat surgery to remove some bothersome polyps. On behalf of his legions of fans, I would just like to wish him a speedy and complete recovery.
