Halloween has arrived, we celebrate All Hallow's Eve - the night when the dead walk the earth and collect commercial confections for their efforts - with a variety of stories, reviews and reminiscences befitting the occasion. Join in the ghoulish fun. Special screaming thanks to Susanna Cornett for conceiving and coordinating, and to all contributors.
There are now over 70 stories here - great job and many thanks!

Halloween: every Fall it Rises!
The anniversary of Antinous's death (October 30, 130 AD) seems remarkable in its proximity to Halloween, and I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say that even today we are still dealing with the fallout from...

i know what i wanna do fer Halloween...
chase down spammers like this relacore guy..and repeatedly impale him with a plastic spork unti he discorporates very messily
then jump up and down on the puddles until the remnants are completely obliterated
coat the smears with garlic to ensure no possibility of resurrection, and burn everything clean with a napalm stike
did i just say all that out loud?
ah well...chalk it up to channeling the spirit of Halloween on Good Friday
Excelsior!

Thanks for the recomended music. I listen to Oingo Boingo, the Misfits, and Rob Zombie year round, and I'm always amazed that at Halloween the only song anyone can think to play is Monster Mash. We need better soundtracks for our Halloween parties and Haunted Houses
Happy Haunting

Guess I'll buy those little m'nn'm
packages in a seethrough bag in
quantity and if I don't eat them myself,

people who live in the same house I do!
Just because I'm almost 50, that don't
mean Marilyn Monroe isn't my...favorite
dress-up! I tried,well, really once,
and the first time WHAT A KNOCKOUT!
But the object of my outrageous
impression was not present...and noone
took pictures...This Halloween I think
I'll try number three...thanks for the
little reminder message from the
Blogcritics.org....Hallo back!

Check out our 2005 Halloween music at Sub Rosa. It'll only be available here in October this year.
Everything from Halloween surf music to Frank Zappa's 'Goblin Girl' to the original 'Monster Mash' to a mash-up of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit vs. Monster Mash'. Have fun.
