This one is personal.

There was a movie that ran on television every October when I was a kid—an ordinary girl, a family that turned out to be anything but, and a place where Halloween never has to end. I watched it every single time it aired, without exception. It taught me early that normal is vastly overrated, and I've since built an entire business on that premise.

I studied it frame by frame and drew my own version of the silver talisman at the center of it. The front is engraved mirror acrylic, the back engraved cast acrylic.

There's a certain symmetry to it. That story is about magic handed down through generations, from one woman to the next, ready or not. That's exactly what I want these ornaments to be: the one that comes out of the box every December, gets fought over, and eventually belongs to someone else in the family.

It arrives in a coffin box I designed and assemble by hand, built to keep it safe for the eleven months it isn't haunting a tree.

If you know, you know. If you don't, ask the nearest millennial.

Care Rituals

Clean with a soft, clean microfiber cloth, lightly damp with water and a drop of mild dish soap. Skip cotton, paper towels, and anything textured—they scratch mirror acrylic. Never use glass cleaner, ammonia, alcohol, acetone, or abrasive cleaners; solvents cause permanent clouding. Avoid heat and direct sun. Handle by the edges. Return it to its coffin between seasons. Treat it well and it'll haunt your family for generations.

Scratched it? Not a catastrophe—a plastic polish kit (found at most hardware and plastics stores) will buff out light surface scratches with a soft cloth and a little patience. Work gently, avoid the engraved areas.

The Fine Print

Safety:

NOT A TOY. Contains small parts—keep away from children under 3 and curious pets. Handle with care; acrylic can chip if dropped.

Returns & Refunds

At this time, I’m not able to offer refunds on purchases. As a small, one-woman operation, I’m still navigating all the moving pieces that come with bringing this little haunt to life—so I truly appreciate your understanding (and patience) as I figure it all out.

That said, if something truly goes awry with your order, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If something feels off, cursed (in a bad way), or just not quite right, I want to hear about it. I’m always happy to chat and will do my best to make things right—no ghosting, no disappearing acts.

I would never want you to be stuck with something you don’t love. If something feels off, don’t suffer in silence—summon me at summon@loungingleo.com
