Only a couple more weeks until Halloween, my second-favorite holiday. We are planning a Halloween Special here at Blogcritics and I'm revved about that.

In the meantime, check out this calendar countdown to the big day, called Gothtober - there's a daily fright, chuckle, amusement, etc. that began October 1 with an absurd short film called "The Scary Ghost."

Today's offering reminds me that we have a mouse loose in the house and neither of the cats seems terribly interested in evicting or disemboweling the little rodent, unlike Nina here. EEEEWWW.
