Going through old photos again. I literally have hundreds from the last few years.

Bog Man Video
Went through old files the other night and found this video from when I took the Bog Man out for his photo shoot. I stuck some music from the film PLASTERHEAD to it. Bad movie, GREAT score.

Halloween Robots
Was thinking about rusty robots today. Nasty, thin, corroded robots. Wondering if they could ever be featured in a Halloween yard haunt successfully. Maybe some with heads with cracked glass domes revealing rotting human heads inside, as if their creator screwed around with human parts. Was trying to think of scary robots in movies and came up with one from an old film called SATURN 3.
Probably a dumb idea, but it'd be fun making something look like rusted-out metal with human parts fused in there.

Halloween Lounge Music
Great album cover.
Fun assortment of songs. Not really all that dark or Halloween-ish, but still fun to sample. Bourbon might enhance the album a bit.
Sample the songs.
Here's something more like what I was looking for.
From this cool blog.
Nut Allergy
Growing up, my skinflint parents would often take us to the Jersey shore for a day at the beach and a cheap vacation. With a pretty good assortment of shoreline choices, my parents would take us to Atlantic City - dirty sand, zombie seagulls, and a boardwalk that felt like the streets in BLADE RUNNER. We'd eventually end up on that boardwalk to shop for crap or to play games of chance to win crap. As if he were everywhere (or waiting for me), we'd ALWAYS end up bumping into Mr. Peanut. Confession: I was horrified of Mr. Peanut. Probably because of his creepy long black arms and legs, but the outdated and weathered fiberglass body costume didn't help. He seemed to be eight feet tall. I believe I whimpered [and/or cried] more than a few times in my youth after seeing the thing.
(In my mind, the legs and arms weren't so loosely clothed as they appear to be in this photo. Imagine one of the aliens from the film SIGNS wearing a black leotard and you have an idea of how it looked back in the day.)
Came across his photo today and it got me to thinking about irrational fears, because I honestly STILL hate Mr. Peanut. I wonder if he's still down there, skulking around the pier. Like a giant yellow mute

Prince Of Darkness
Currently listening to a gem of a horror score by composers John Carpenter and Alan Howarth - the complete score to PRINCE OF DARKNESS.

Life Magazine
Google hosts a ton of photos from LIFE magazine.
Did a search for Halloween and found some great stuff.
Halloween Plant
An ornamental pepper plant that I'd like to nominate for the official plant of Halloween (if there is such a distinction).
