The film version of the only short story that has ever truly unnerved me - Pay the Ghost, by Tim Lebbon. The trailer seems to be packed with Hollywood embellishments, so I'm already seeing signs that this is a super far departure from the original story. Unfortunately.
Hoping I'm wrong, because the story, found in the Halloween anthology October Dreams, is truly brilliant.

After years of searching for a pumpkin ale/beer that appeals to me, I think I just found it, in the form of a shandy. The Jack-O Traveler from the Traveler Beer Company. It's light and spicy, and not too sweet, with a lot of lemony zest going on. Has a really nice and nutty finish.
I highly recommend it for those who might always have high hopes for the seasonal pumpkin beers, but who are always a little disappointed with the offerings.
Jack-O Traveler is an alluring wheat beer illuminated by the tastes of fall. He strikes a perfect balance between bright refreshment and seasonal spice. Jack is brewed with fresh pumpkin, for a delicious dark-hued, Shandy-inspired beer.
Today's the day all Yankee stores feature the new Halloween items.
Not sure if we'll be near one today, so anyone who goes kindly let us know how it was.

Another sale at my favorite candle shop featuring my all-time candle of choice - Anise & Clove.
I seriously can't describe what those two scents smell like when mixing with the toasted insides of a jack o'lantern on Halloween night. We've been burning the small jars from this company on the weekends and it fills the entire floor with Halloween.

Sinister had a pretty intense and scary score.
Click below for a favorite scene. And make sure to turn up the volume nice and loud so you can fully appreciate the subtle and unnerving dark ambient-ish track...
Neat article over at Bloody Disgusting:
Which Horror Scores Actually Scare You...
As a guy who loves film music and dark ambient stuff, I have to ponder this one.
The Fog?, Silent Hill?, Suspiria?,... Halloween?

I have dreams... of a rose, and then of falling down a long flight of steps.
It really is genius.
I always seem to stop in my tracks when Eric's work shows up in my Halloween searches.
We hit up a bunch of stores this weekend and found a ton of new stuff at Home Goods.
