Not Halloween, Reformation Day!
I don't have any special religious distaste for Halloween. I've pontificated at length that churches who have "Fall Harvest" events on October 31 in which kids dress in costumes and collect candy ought to be forced at gunpoint to call their Halloween parties "Halloween Parties."

The Eyes Have It
A lot of weird things happened to me in the '70s: It's hard to believe I matriculated to sweet little Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio - "America's Quiet Surprise" - 28 years ago. I had just turned 17 and in...

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

hi BJ, great site! Since "Halloween" now starts in about mid-September, it will be time to start firing up the Halloween posts once again. We'll come up with some new tunes this year as well

Guess I'll buy those little m'nn'm
packages in a seethrough bag in
quantity and if I don't eat them myself,
I'll probably put them out for the
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.
