Enter 13 Days of Strange

Halloween has always been a season for the unusual where shadows stretch a little longer, and the ordinary begins to feel unfamiliar. It’s a time when we lean into the strange, not to escape reality, but to see it differently and well..celebrate!

That’s where 13 Days of Strange begins.

To kick off scary season, we’re stepping into the lives of people whose stories carry their own haunting edge. They’re not hiding who they are. In fact, what fascinates us most is how unapologetically themselves they choose to be. In a world that often rewards blending in, they remind us of the beauty in standing apart.

A jumping spider breeder who stares into eight unblinking eyes and finds wonder instead of fear.
A death doula who spends her days in the quiet spaces between life and loss.
A jeweler of mystic metals who shapes objects that feel alive with meaning when you hold them.
A coffee shop where the real buzz comes not from caffeine, but from community.
A distillery where every spirit carries a story, and every pour is part ritual.
And horror artists who lean into unease, crafting work that unsettles, inspires, and lingers long after you’ve seen it.

These aren’t horror stories. They’re human stories.
The kind that make you pause and think about the lives happening all around you, the people you might pass on the street without ever knowing the world they carry inside.

Halloween might give us permission to wear masks, but the people we’ll meet over these ‘13 days’ don’t need one. Their everyday strange is a reminder of how fascinating it is to live without apology, to build a life that doesn’t care about the norm, and to invite others to look a little closer.

So we invite you to walk with us into this season of the strange.
Thirteen days. Thirteen stories. Each one pulling us just a little further away from the ordinary, and into a space where the unexpected feels alive.

Welcome to 13 Days of Strange.
The door is open—step inside.
