Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Picked this up a short while back and it's definitely become the house favorite.  Super smooth with a really nice smokey finish.  Like mega smooth.

Click here for the distillery's site with a really neat video.

Autumn Stroll

"Look there! look there! It is coming now; 
The evil thing is dancing, I vow!

My God! Oh, help me! " — and peeping in 
At the open door, with a wicked grin, 

Came a great grey toad, with a hop and a hitch; 
"See there!" cried the woman, "see — there's my witch!"

- Charles G. Leland

Blogroll: The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow

Looking back at all of the cool blogs I used to follow.  This one was a personal favorite.  I loved their devotion to a singular theme each year.  And I absolutely LOVE their attention to detail.

An Explanation From The Tomb

As with sounds, so with colors. At each end of the solar spectrum the chemist can detect the presence of what are known as 'actinic' rays. They represent colors—integral colors in the composition of light—which we are unable to discern. The human eye is an imperfect instrument; its range is but a few octaves of the real 'chromatic scale' I am not mad; there are colors that we cannot see. And, God help me! the Damned Thing is of such a color!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Giger

You get talent when you discover the ground of your pain.

- H. R. Giger

One of these years, in my still-nonexistent Haunted Barn, there will be an organic room that might just look like H. R. Giger got in there somehow while I was sleeping.

The Hag

The Hag is astride,

This night for to ride;

The Devill and shee together:

Through thick, and through thin,

Now out, and then in,

Though ne’r so foule be the weather.

Now Playing: The Builders

Listening to Spotify radio and I look down to see what song is playing due to its dark coolness and I see "The Builders" by Sabled Sun.  Goes really well with their vibe I think.

Halloween Mists

This one really captures how it all felt on Halloween night.

3 AM

Here's to those nights where you'd wake up at three in the morning a few nights in a row and worry it might have something to do with the Devil...

Work by the great Austin Pardun.

The Great Old One

The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.

Blight

 At dawn from my damp garden
    I shook the chilly dew;
The thin boughs locked behind me
    That sprang to let me through;         
The blossoms slept,—I sought a place
    Where nothing lovely grew.

Trailer: We Have A Ghost

This feels like something that would have been made in the 80s.  Really hoping it delivers that kind of Spielbergian charm.

Witch Of The Woods

I have gone out, a possessed witch,
haunting the black air, braver at night;
dreaming evil, I have done my hitch
over the plain houses, light by light.
