The hand painted auto runner which isn't quite a masterwork.

The New Year may be a blurry memory, and Halloween is just a vague shadow in the distant future, but that doesn’t stop the spookiness from flowing and a good ghost story from being told. Although far from spine chilling, this cutesy, spooky…
