For my ongoing Instagram art project, I pose with cardboard cut-outs at sunset. I call them Sunset Selfies, and I think of them as single-panel cartoons. They all have a caption that tells the story and is half the fun, I think. This new collection is specifically for Halloween with lots of spooky silhouettes to get you in the spirit of the holiday. I hope they make you smile, and I’ll see you at sunset.
I've also done a few posts of my cutouts in other themes here on Bored Panda. One of them covers the pandemic in a humorous way, and sesame street characters, as well as in freestyle. I've also done one with horses, and various other animals.

#1 The Witch
Hagela was unlike anyone I'd ever met. She walked right up to me at the bar, holding a cat and a broom, and just asked me to have dinner. So I did. Turns out she was wickedly funny with a dark sense of humor, and we talked and drank and laughed until long after sunset. Then she offered to give me a ride home. I've got a good feeling about this night.

The Pumpkin King had long been sad; a frown his only daily mood.
So I was asked to use my knife and carve a better attitude.

When they finally found a mate brave enough to breed with Fluffy, I couldn't wait to get my hands on one of the pups.

Back at Hagela’s hut, she had me hop right in the hot tub to get warm. The hot water felt so good after the chilly ride, I just closed my eyes and inhaled the aroma of the fragrant steam. For some reason, it reminded me of my mother's soup which was comforting. Then, through the smoke, I saw Hagela standing there holding what looked like a small wooden paddle with a naughty grin on her face. Oh, boy, I thought. This is gonna be fun. "Get in here," I said.

#7 The Ball
I was a little nervous to take Helen to the Zombie Ball. But after the first few dances, the more we talked and laughed, the less I worried about her eating my brain.

I gave my zombie friend a brain cake for his birthday. Oh, man, you should have seen the way his dry hollow sockets lit up with surprise!

#9 The Stump
Maybe Halloween wasn't the best time to chop down that creepy old stump, but I was tired of his mocking laughter.

#10 The Witch
On the ride back to Hagela's house, I was starting to get cold, and I think she could feel me shivering. "What's the matter, Dearie?" she asked. "No meat on yer bones?" She cackled at this and her laughter was so infectious I started laughing too. All with a beautiful full moon overhead. It was magical.

Marina is perfect. Other than the two tentacles she has for legs, she's all I've ever wanted in a woman.

Everyone told me wearing my mouse costume in front of Mittens was a bad idea, but what's the worst that can happen?

The bad news is: I have a flesh-eating bacteria. The good news is: I've lost 55 pounds.

#15 The Witch
Honestly, it was an accident. Hagela wouldn't come into the tub; I thought she was playing hard to get. So I splashed her, just a little. You know, like a playful splash? I certainly wasn't trying to hurt her. But dates are funny that way, I guess. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to connect with another person and have some fun, you end up just melting their face off anyway.

#16 The Good News
The bad news is: In addition to the virus, we now have Killer Bees AND Murder Hornets. The good news is: The Torture Wasps won't be here for another few weeks.

#17 The Plastic Surgeon
“So. Mister…Voldemort.”
“LORD Voldemort.”
“I’m sorry?”
“It’s Lord Voldemort. Or the Dark Lord. Whichever you prefer.”
“I see. Any first name?”
“Well…It was Tom at one point, but it’s not any more. Most people don’t say my name at all, really. Some even call me “He Who Must Not Be Named” if you can believe that.”
“OK. But for the purposes of our records, what should I call you?”
“Lord Voldemort will be fine.”
“Very well. So. Lord Voldemort. As chief surgeon here at the clinic, I’ve got to say, your condition is quite unique. Most of the procedures I do are nose REDUCTION surgeries, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work a little magic in your case, if you know what I mean.”
"For your sake, my muggle friend, I hope you're right."

#18 The Honest Answer
On our first date, Shannon asked for my opinion about her weight and like an idiot I told her the truth. I said, "Well, if I'm totally honest...yeah, I think you may be a little too thin." And that was it. At the end of the evening, I didn't get even a single lipless kiss goodnight.

#20 The Breeze
As I was sitting down on the dock enjoying a banana at sunset, the strangest thing happened. A warm wind blew across my neck, and it smelled just like bananas too.
