Fog
At my wake/funeral, I'm going to insist there's chilled fog pouring from my casket.

Halloween Morning
This painting felt like a clear blue October 31st morning. An older couple inside having coffee, with a giant uncarved pumpkin on the table. With some newspaper, a stubby candle, and a knife very nearby.
Painting by Dan Graziano.
Halloween At High Noon
My personal favorite Halloween music when we're not listening to seasonal soundtracks or dark ambient stuff. I've mentioned the guys at High Noon records before, and I figured a re-post was in order after finding out a new Halloween album will be released shortly.
Click below for some of their older stuff.
We play this one all year long. The ancient version of Internet Explorer at work butchered these samples, so try to open them in Firefox or Chrome if you have it.

Return Of The Creature(s)
I'm way too excited about this news: General Mills is bringing back two monster cereals from the past - Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute, for the Halloween season.
I shall indulge in these fruity cereals.

The Lantern Out Of Doors
Sometimes a lantern moves along the night
That interests our eyes. And who goes there?
I think; where from and bound, I wonder, where,
With, all down darkness wide, his wading light?
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Actias Humanias
At 10:30 on the evening of the fifteenth, Newell Partridge, a building contractor who lived outside Salem, West Virginia (approximately 90 miles northeast of Point Pleasant), was watching television when suddenly the screen blanked out, a "fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and at the same time the set started a loud whining noise, winding up to a high pitch, peaking and breaking off, as if you were on a musical scale and you went as high as you could and came back down and repeated it.... It sounded like a generator winding up." The Partridges' dog Bandit began to howl on the porch, continuing even after they turned the set off.

Euthanasia Coaster
The
Euthanasia Coaster is an art concept for a steel roller coaster
designed to kill its passengers. In 2010, it was designed and made
into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal
College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park,
stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives "with elegance and euphoria". As for practical applications of his design, Urbonas mentioned
"euthanasia" or "execution". John Allen, who served as president of
the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, inspired Urbonas with his description
of the ideal roller coaster as one
that "sends out 24 people and they all come back dead". As a
hypothetical means of euthanasia, the design led to concern from
anti-euthanasia association Care Not Killing.
Thanks, Jon!

Trick Or Treat Candle
Bought this guy at a local store. From the McCall's company.
Trick or Treat: A haunting blend of delectable black licorice laces with traces of sprinkled anise and a warming touch of sweet vanilla.
Dunkin' Donuts
Heads up...we stopped into a Dunkin' Donuts today for coffee and they had Pumpkin Spice on tap.
