someone: "what do you want to eat?" Orville: "the souls of the innocent!" Aurelio: "a bagel." Orville: "NO!" Aurelio: "two bagels."

[@ghoulsblood]

wait this is literally so true lmao

[@pastelpolarbearss]

Omg I need to animate this now

[@ivyblack2209]

"I said, Seagulls! STOP THAT NOW!" *lifts rocks with my special gift*

[@mlev1111]

JadeTheLibra made tombstone pizza pockets out of a tray that looks similar to your cakelet pan! Maybe try her DIY (:

[@electricblue2920]

Voltaire and Jade might have to do a collaboration at some point. They're both "essential media" when it comes to the Halloween season💀👻🕸🎃🔮

[@christawright3500]

Yes she did! While holding her puppy in a sling. Too cute. I wish we Kmart in Orlando. ;/

[@AGothNamedWednessday]

Ok, so I saw this comment before watching the video, and was like... "How did you make pizza pockets out of Tombstone frozen pizza 🤔... With a bundt pan of all things" I got to the pan and it was much clearer 😂 Apparently I didn't finish reading your comment cause I thought you said you made them 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@HungryFatchick]

Black cocoa brownies so they're super dark and spooky. Then frost and decorate them as frighteningly as you like. I always love brownies made in muffin tins, the best. Because they're crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside..and if you want, you can stuff something in the middle before baking for a surprise, like those new Hershey's Halloween Vampire Kisses or Strawberry/Raspberry Jam for a bloody center. I've never done this myself, but I feel inspired. (Edited to add that this video really made me smile today. I've been down with the quarantine blues and your wonderfully campy sense of humor and macabre, innovative ideas always perk me up. Thank you so much for all you do.)

[@alexisy8884]

I think I. am going to make the black cocoa brownie

[@suburbohemian]

Oh wow, my baking addict daughter will deffo want to make them! Thx for sharing!

[@suburbohemian]

and the Globlin will be a must for aforementioned dd who turned her Deady keychain into a choker.

[@FoodNerds]

That sounds delicious.

[@chokottot]

Already started - permanently - decorating my bathroom with Nightmare before Christmas, bats, and candles. My room smells like pumpkin spice, broom and candles, and witchcraft

[@marcusblacknell-andrews1783]

My bedroom is decked out in Halloween decor. From my gothic bookshelf to my collection of gothic literature.

[@user-ez1mm7fd8r]

1. White chocolate skulls with cherry caramel inside. 2. I'm really excited for more!!!

[@saratravieso4614]

That sounds sooooo good 💜even though I've never heard about cherry caramel uwu💜

[@Jackie-McCann]

For the tombstone cakelets mold, I recommend either Devil’s Food Cake or pumpkin spice cake. They’re just the right cake mixes for this spooky time of year!

[@i.cant.sleep.anymore]

Kmart?! Back from the dead. Now that is spooky!

[@RD-vo5vq]

There’s only about 30 left and he happens to live near one of them.

[@ivoivo1435]

this comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@RD-vo5vq]

When I was was a kid Kmart was Awesome! It’s sad how greedy business people let it all go down hill that excludes Sears too. 😞

[@RD-vo5vq]

Mr.Armenian I was a kid in the 80’s so they didn’t have a Little Caesars there yet but we would always go to the cafe they had in the back of the store and I always got a Blueberry Icee at the snack bar.

[@saracompassi8385]

Our closed in January of this year in st. Petersburg fl . We don't have anymore at all .😭😭😭😭

[@brianl8481]

Halloween isn't a holiday, it's a lifestyle.

[@sandradiaz3429]

Totally agree

[@lokaitnt]

You are the Best Halloween Dad!!!!!

[@iguanian]

For the cakelet pans - I suggest making mini lasagnas. Layer of boiled noodle, meat, sauce, noodle. Then baked and it's a delicious dripping red treat.

[@piratetycollectorguy5608]

Love this show. Please never stop. I have my wife and all my kids run to the dying room when the theme song comes on.

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Welcome aboard!

[@melphina98]

I think a graveyard cake would be great for the coffin cake pan and it's really easy to make or red velvet cookies. You can find the receipts on allrecipes and the instructions are easy and the recipes haven't failed me yet

[@pipertheos2660]

Hey Goth Dad! I'm so glad you're excited, you deserve to enjoy yourself. Just a reminder, you're awesome and I ♥ u with every inch of my black heart. Cheers, my fellow undead king! Also for suggestions for baking- I would say red velvet (for blooood, of course) and spiced pumpkin (as how can you not!)

[@fallennight89]

The oven mitts! An actual set?!🤯 I don't when it became normal to sell them individually and the designs never match up if you buy two of them. So excited to pairs are becoming a thing again. I love the vampire blood scent! Always stock up when I see it 🖤

[@batkisses]

yeah, I was shocked to see a left and a right oven mitt... usually they are all right-handed designs

[@msangthrope5396]

Wow I'm surprised Target or some other big box retailer hadn't reached out to do a collab. I would totally buy some stuff for my lair.

[@shortpotato26]

Could you imagine bumping into Voltaire's spooky self at Home Goods? Wild...🎃

[@terismith2461]

That comment made my day!!!! I could just imagine the look on his face when an ordinary grandmama looses her shit and goes all fangirl!!! Love to you my dear 🖤

[@krazykat8580]

Jade the Libra did an amazing video with those tombstone molds.

[@3katfox]

HELL YEAH!! This Halloween is gonna be bitchin' if it kills me!

[@weirdguy7451]

I know what you mean but just to make sure you’re staying inside and not dying from ✨Miss Rona✨, right?

[@pamelatorres156]

Nigella is Queen when it comes to baking. Her Devil's Food cake and triple-chocolate brownies are to DIE for! She also has a recipe for Guinness Gingerbread cake, which is technically a Christmas recipe but has all the scents of autumn. Also look up recipes by the Homicidal Homemaker.

[@kimberlydianne1981]

You are so entertaining, and being handsome is just a extra bonus, just subscribed thanks for all the awesome videos🦇🕸🕷🖤

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Welcome aboard!

[@bridgetcharlton8096]

This man is the patron god of your spooky childhood....I just realized 2 days ago that he wrote "Brains!"...he is part of the reason why we're all spoopy bishes lol

[@RyokoZero]

I really love that globlin! Also, idk what scents you're making for the sanitizer but I like scents that smell like dirt, and moss. Very earthy. I really hope something like that will be in your collection! Can't wait to see it!

[@kkeegan32]

The best part of that large BBW haunted house is the nightlight that projects a witch onto your wall!

[@louisetate5296]

Damn missed the live stream as I was having a spooky walk through the woods in the dark but am now ready for a Halloween! It is funny lately keep seeing a bat flying about the house, think it might be Dracula!!?!! 🦇💕

[@RedRosesDead07]

That tombstone mold for small cakes is TOO amazing! You definitely need to make some cakes! Kmart is RIP in Arizona, I miss shopping there. Seeing those beautiful candles (the Pickled Eyeball and Philters, Brew and Elixirs) in your video makes me sad as I won't be able to get any of those! I went the Palmistry/fortune route last year and this year... Michael's has a few gorgeous hands this year so I grabbed them all and Spirit Halloween had a gorgeous Rascette hand as well! I also picked up the black Phrenology skull at Michael's, too... so pretty! I love vintage looking items that don't cross over into cutesy territory - old signage, old-fashioned decor, and anything that will fit into a oddities cabinet - that's my aesthetic! Some of the retro Halloween stuff can be right on that line but I am in love with all the different collections out this year. JoAnn's has a spooky art deco thing going on... not really my taste but it's pretty. I did see a retro mask collection at Spirit Halloween, brings back memories from my childhood - so cool!

[@holdthatghost216]

What to bake? I mean the obvious: Devil's Food Cake. Some dark red frosting? Some halloween sprinkles (or not). Mmmm. Also cakelet pans are usually deep enough to make pizza-pocket type things! Stuff em with cheese, sauce, and other pizza toppings of your preference! I LOVE halloween bake-ware. Last year I got 2 mini loaf pans that I love baking things like brownies and mini cakes in. Bath and Body Works wise, Vampire Blood and Ghoul Friend are two of my favourite go-to's, and any caramel pumpkin scent is wonderful. This year I tried the Perfect Autumn soap and it is AMAZING for an autumn scent, a sort of walk through the woods scent. And I am 100% gunna shank a bitch for that Globlin!

[@scarletletter4900]

Ideas for baking molded treats? Let's see... Tombstone blondies and and brownies. Spoooky peanutbutter cookies using the cookie stamps Pumpkin tarts and scones Apple-cinnamon coffee crypts I can keep going if you like

[@jovsitalo]

Hot sauce in the cat's hemorrhoid cream got me laughing out loud😂

[@Luna11111]

This man is a vampire he doesn't age! I was watching him from 8 years ago there's no difference

[@artmakerforever3510]

With all the bad jou jou out there, seeing a great looking guy so happy about oven mitts, there is hope! Pure joy.

[@EmmenJude]

I panicked and clicked immediately lol I'm so excited to see beautiful Voltaire and his Halloween Goodies!!! :)

[@mirgam3670]

You mentioned you are a Bowie fan so how about a bejeweled skull ala Blackstar for one of your craft projects?

[@Zombiekiller707]

" don't tell me to stop it now. I'm not a seagull." I see what you did there lol!

[@Bettie04]

Oh to be a babyghoul in a halloween-less country 😭

[@elishaforrester1150]

Yayyyyy this is gonna premiere on me b'day... Or as I like to call em... Level up Day 😉😏😎

[@queenjenna2696]

Wishing u a early Happy and glorious birthday

[@msoto933]

I mean, the possibilities are endless with baking. I’ve been enjoying the changing of seasons with spiced zucchini chocolate chip loaves. The best combination of late summer squash and fall spices. Very tender and delicious for dessert or breakfast.

[@RachaelMortician]

Lololol, that subtle hint to the Seagull Yoda song 🤣 I died!

[@Petalene]

I laughed so hard when you said that you found the Halloween stuff with just a jump to the left and a step to the right. Rocky Horror forever! I love this video. You’re enthusiasm is infectious and now I want to find a Home Goods store and check it out.

[@graycasterline306]

The casual “seagulls, stop it now” reference caught me off guard.

[@AbsyntheAndTears]

I have my entire October filled with Halloween activities for my kids and I. Nothing can ever stop Halloween! Not even lousy 2020.

[@terrafallow]

Seagulls! (Stop it Now)? Thanks, that's going to be stuck in my head for days 😂

[@heartshadow7738]

Anyone else wanting gothic homemaking on dvd? My local Library has the "what is goth" book, I check out constantly to keep in circulation due to "paint it black" being taken out. I never want to lose these episodes. Love you Voltaire and Orville keep them coming. Cant wait for the halloween haunts coming up. 🎃🦇🕷🕸⚰☣🖤

[@markgannett4104]

trick or streaking...that would eliminate the stress of "what am I going to dress up as this year?" XD

[@jesseobrien8471]

Can't wait to see you and Orville!😊

[@AGothNamedWednessday]

"don't tell me to stop it now! I'm not a seagull" I fucking lost it 😂😂

[@whatsthatticking]

The Seagulls (Stop it Now) reference made my day! Also the whole video, lol.

[@lisaevans9937]

You could take Easter decorations and transform them into Halloween decorations. It might be a ghoulishly fun project. :)

[@sogothshesblack]

Me and my mom always make cute little Halloween cupcakes with little bats and mini pumpkin shaped cakes 🖤 Its super easy for a first time baker, I think

[@lovernumber7]

The globlin is THE CUTEST thing I've ever seen!!

[@dakotaredd1742]

That cake mold could be used for little spooky dinner rolls. So cute! Cookie/cake pops are also another winner

[@QueenBiscuit]

Sugar cookies, mini cupcakes~ I think Sugar cookies in the shapes of hands would be super cute~

[@SunnysFilms]

Actually, if I lived out in NYC, I'd scoop up that Easter stuff. Imagine all the Halloween DIY projects you could make with that stuff and a little paint. Easter egg eyeballs with spooky treats inside? Halloween baskets for holding trick-or-treat candy? There are a lot of possibilities there.

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

That adorable GLOBLIN!!!! 😲😍 I have a mighty need for him! 🖤🖤🖤

[@Abyss_Watcher]

Love the Halloween season, but damn seeing Kmart's name makes me sad, they closed all of the ones in my area not long ago.

[@sheepingmischief]

I’ve been viciously hunting for some of the stuff from Michaels’ blush collection cuz their site keeps saying it’s out of stock nor is there any stocked in Houston apparently, but I finally jumped on a chance restock last night and I have minimal regrets

[@omni574]

It's pretty empty in Dallas too. I've been to almost every store in the area.

[@IllyanaVlogging]

Thats so weird my michaels has all of it on display

[@tempestates13]

Ive been attacking Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart. If luck is on your side, you might find some decent stuff at dollar tree.

[@lindaosorio9535]

I live in Houston too and that line was gone too!!! I'm like did I come too late? They have everything else of Halloween except the blush which I was really excited about..... what do y'all think happened??

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

I'm in central California and my Michaels has next to nothing... it's sad

[@SaschaV]

Red velvet cake is my absolute favourite. It could look great with a vampiric theme.

[@FirstRainbow96]

Voltaire seems more animated and bubbly than ever

[@ultimatepitviper]

Spooky sugar cookies are always fun. Halloween smokiness in cupcakes is also great

[@letsgo6434]

4:33 skeletal hands made me chuckled.

[@VivaLaVaca2010]

He is so sweet. I just want to give him a hug ♡

[@mollyjane4628]

Your couch looks like it has eyes... now I’m inspired to add eyes to my furniture, thank you!

[@damotoneko1500]

Voltaire is so spooky and gothic he eats Courage, drinks Betelgeuse and belches out Scooby doo.

[@fuzzyecheveriaharmsii]

I can't believe I just discovered your Chanel. Wonderful. Everybody needs more black in their life.

[@MerryMoss]

"Remember that tarentula candle holder? - Well you're never gonna believe where I put those..." First guess: *the bathroom? xD* (which I guessed immediately only because of your question, Aurelio) ;p

[@EB1878]

I know of an easy cookie recipe I would make year around using my favorite bat shaped cookie cutter: scotch bake cookies. You'll need flour, salt, sugar, one egg, water, I think a splash of milk, vanilla flavoring, baking soda, it's much like a common sugar cookie recipe. I found the original version in my Betty Crocker cookbook that belongs to my dad. I just adapted my bat cookie cutter and then when the cookies cooled down I would frost mine with black icing in a squeeze tube. I remember in early 2000 (around Halloween), my Walmart began selling the black cake icing first, then I bought them out of that and the black food gel. I believe this is how I won my late Fiance entirely was with those cookies I made for us the first year we celebrated Halloween. And he really enjoyed the Cinnamon Imperials I added on for the bat eyes. I miss him dearly. We'd dress up every year for Halloween. It was our favorite time of year. 😉

[@cathypatman1224]

Love The Tarantula Candle Holders! Gorgeous Design On Them! 🖤🖤🕷🕷🕷🖤🖤

[@plaguedoctormasque8089]

Ty Dark Father I'll be there!!!

[@erinsadowski5357]

Cupcake cookies in Gothic liners with home-made icing! Mini pumpkin loaves in those cute gravestone shapes! Both are yummy and adorable. Just like you! :)

[@rileyhunter7753]

You should make molten lava cakes! They’re delicious and while they look intimidating they’re actually pretty easy

[@Tardisntimbits]

Even though I'm Canadian and have to live vicariously through you for all this stuff, I'm still super excited to see what you find!!!

[@barbararemsen4768]

Whew! That was quite a shopping trip! Bath and Body Works is tops on my list. Raspberry scented Vampires Blood? Who knew?

[@forestrot666]

My favorite as a kid (and simple) halloween treat is dirt mousse with gummy worms on top,and you can really get creative with them. Crumbled up oreos or black sugar cookies,creame,vanilla jello and whatever you want. Sometimes we added chocolate chips to make the layers of soil look like they had rocks in it. Would look great with all the tiny tombstones you collect lol. You could put some aside just for that.

[@pollypocket2282]

Voltaire, I was laid off work last week and your videos continue to keep a smile on my face and pull me out of my sadness. Thank you for your hard work, sunny demeanor, dad jokes and beautiful gothic decor!!! I saw the globulin on Patreon and can’t wait until they come out... they’re perfect!

[@TheSkellingtonGhost]

The gravestone molds you got. People made pizza rolls and little cakes with em

[@elizabethsoliz5438]

for the tombstones. black chocolate cake stuffed with a raspberry or strawberry filling its like lava cake.

[@trgly809]

The Dark Deco line at Jo-Ann Fabrics is amazing 🖤

[@doedarling1215]

Kmarts still exist?! Not in IL!

[@barbarawallace6890]

In think all of them out here in New England are gone now, too. 😞

[@Abyss_Watcher]

Kmart is a dying breed, I miss them...

[@BobbieXxoo]

Or Idaho

[@gothlover4u]

in upstate NY There is no home Kmart.

[@vistatiger7493]

I think Kmart is down to like 30 stores in all of U.S. last time I checked.Really sad.

[@Musicgirl82]

I stumbled upon this channel by accident and as soon as I heard "Don't tell me to stop it now, I'm not a seagull!" I slammed that subscribe button.

[@ga9522]

You look the happiest I've ever seen you; that glow! 8)

[@dylanbamford5332]

Sad noises from the UK, but I'm in love with your Amazon selections and always grin like an idiot watching your videos, even after all these years.

[@insidioussheep7237]

I'd like to suggest home made cinnamon rolls with colored icing. I tend to change my icing colors for holidays.

[@tyrrotundra]

Sugar cookies, cookies with icing, Pumpkin bread or cake with orang and black cream cheese frosting, Gingerbread haunted house kits are also fun!

[@CeriseWolf]

Crème brûlée is pretty easy to make, and I think that doing a blood red vampiric take on it would be super cool!!

[@stellamortem9434]

Your little globlin is absolutely adorable 🥰🥰

[@klemmteastwood]

You could definitely make some miniature layer cakes with that tombstone pan. fill the molds up pretty high then just cut each in half and fill with your choice of delicious fillings. i’m personally drawn to a raspberry or strawberry filling for these. you could even go as far as to frost them the way they do snack cakes!

[@valearguellova]

Es increíble la cantidad de cosas originales y preciosas que hay . Es imposible comprar todo. Que lindo!

[@laflaca6666]

In my family, my mom would make apple pies, cake, churros, brownies, cookies, and bolillo. You can put chocolate inside the brownies.

[@justme-qd6qb]

The handsanitizer holder is super cute!

[@jaynesixx2185]

🥰🥰 Halloween, I found some Halloween fabric today and decided to make my own Halloween table cloth, napkins and place mats out of them. 😍 they look great in your bathroom, I have a gothic shower curtain, I wish my place could be all gothic but my landlord isn't a fan so I have to hide my altar and any spooky stuff. 😍😍😍😍 I need the globlin. I'm looking for crow plates I can use all year round. Even if there was nothing in the store or amazon for Halloween I still would of still Celebrated, but I knew there would still be Halloween stuff because Easter stuff came and gone. Santa, for once! Isn't trying to steal our Halloween for us.

[@MrMickio1]

You could make small novelty pumpkin pies in those tins. Want em black? Get some dark cacao or chocolate powder and hit them with a nice sifted hit of the good stuff once theyre out of the oven!

[@Lil58original]

That hand sanitizers holder omg am in love 🖤🖤

[@roddmatsui3554]

I am a Halloween freak as many are. This is good entertainment. You have the balance that many other people don’t have in the same way. Your presentation is actually really smooth, one of the best out there. You could do voiceover for Disney. They have very high standards on CHARACTER in their vocal delivery for VO. If you’re in that ballpark, you can consider a wider audience and do other types of shows like Christmas, or whatever you like! Good writing as well. :)

[@sailorarwen6101]

[@venessasifuentes2747]

Shortbread is hella versatile and there are whipped versions as well and the do so well with any kind of molds or presses.
