Welcome to Helen Haunts
I’m a bit of a goth, a whole lot of kitschy, and forever creating a space in the intersection of modern and vintage vibes. I’m a natural-born marketer and a creative at heart who lives for adventures and immersing myself in culture; bonus points if it comes with a side of spooky history.
Whether I’m chasing waterfalls or the perfect Chicago hot dog, I’m doing it with a martini or coffee in hand and a curious mind. This is a space for everyone, to see the beauty in everything, and learn from each other.
Good vibes only.

Seeking the Strange: A Journey Through Sci-Fi, Magick, and Queer L.A.
I totally judge a book by its cover and this one felt like a spectral pull, hypnotized by its visual alchemy. ✨
Last month I finally cracked open Sci-Fi, Magick, Queer L.A. on a rainy Pasadena afternoon, it was like a witch opening a book of spells for the first time. This isn’t just a book; it’s a portal.
Well, How Did I Get Here?
As the Talking Heads song echoes in my head, creative inspiration is flowing freely in my brain, not distracted or blocked by work anxiety. For the first time in 20+ years, I’m feeling like well, me.
