Every October the same handful of costumes shows up at the door. A dragon breathing tissue-paper fire, Frankenstein's monster doing the arms-out walk because someone told him to, a mummy who's already come a little unwound since the driveway, a vampire in a bow tie who is much too polite to be scary, and a little spider nobody invited. We made a pen for the whole trick-or-treat parade.

Monster Mash has a white barrel with a shimmer finish, screen-printed with that same small trick-or-treat parade of monsters, and black hardware in a satin finish. Inside, a confetti mix of purple, orange, green, and clear crystals fills the chamber. She writes in black ballpoint ink.
