A lady dressed as Lizzie attended the Official NYC Witches Masquerade Ball.

I think she over did the blood.

What kind of a hatchet or axe is that?

I've not seen one of those. 

That is an interesting-looking weapon!

Is anyone familiar with that item?  Is it just a prop?

From what I've read in the past about axes and hatchets, it looks like a woodchopper maul.  I believe it is used for splitting wood as opposed to cutting it. 

Yeah, this Lizzie did go a little overboard with the blood.  What Lizzie has to do with Wicca though?

Thanks again, Susan.
That looks like something that would do our job, that a girl could handle, and might break with overuse!
Looks like my ideal weapon!

You're welcome.  I hope I'm not too far off the mark with that, but, its the best I can recall from what I've read.

Your best weapon for what, or should that be whom?

Why, OUR weapon, of course!

A member gave me the address of a site on the Murders At SmuttyNose!  It is cool.


And guess what!  The hatchet (or axe I think they deemed it) was BROKEN after two murders and one attempted murder.


Of course it hit the window sill or something as well as people.
Behold the weapon of SMUTTY NOSE!

Wow, it doesn't look all that sharp, but, I guess sharp enough to damage some people's skulls.  Yikes.

Yes, once again from what I remember reading, an axe is a chopping instrument.  A hatchet is generally made with a small axe blade on one end and a hammer of sorts on the other.  It seemed to be the rule of thumb.

Would OUR weapon have enough weight or heft to it to crush through Andrew and Abby's skull?  That one doesn't look heavy enough.
