Mondo Lizzie Borden

I have collected quite a large number of images of people who dress up as Lizzie Borden, either as a character in a Halloween haunted house/amusement park, or as a private individual out for a good scary time. Invariably, these image appear on the web and I wish to share a few of them with you. Some are quite inventive, most are scary, and all involve blood.

The first image is the one you can purchase (for only $39.99) but it is currently out of stock. It is sold through CostumesInc.com. Every once in a while you see this one on eBay as well.

This lady would be extra scary if she weren’t smiling, but then she is enjoying the kill isn’t she?

This lady got down and dirty with her portrayal. This would scare the bejesus out of me if I wasn’t expecting it!

This sad and lonely Lizzie looks like she needs someone to attack.

I love the hair! And that axe is wicket cool!

This simple ghoul is from Haunted Charleston. I guess she makes her appearance nightly.

And last but not least (I am sure there will be a part two to this post), here is a fraternity Halloween party. I love the juxtaposition of history here. Oh, and the watch and glasses on Ceasar.

Fangoria: America’s Horror Magazine ran a piece on the Fangoria TV channel series GHOST STORIES EVP shooting at the Lizzie Borden B&B. According to this press release, Lizzie was a “26-year-old spinster” at the time of the murders.

Apparently, this show appeared exclusively on In Demand HD2 cable service.

In a statement, paranormal investigator Garrett Husveth (pictured) explains what to expect from the two-day haunt jaunt: “We hope to establish some kind of communication with any discarnate entities on our initial trip to the Lizzie Borden house. As with most of our field research, we’ll be combining age-old parapsychological protocols with modern high technology on this investigation. This includes surveillance systems, remote digital thermometers, advanced voice analysis software, magnetometers and computers. Much of our evidence analysis will be taking place on site. Either via Electronic Voice Phenomena or physical phenomena, we hope to come away from the investigation with building blocks for our case of a haunting at the Lizzie Borden house.”
