From the Cherry 2000 soundtrack by the late and very great Basil Poledouris.

Trick Or Treat
The ghost is a torn sheet,
the skeleton's suit came from a rack in a store
the witch is flameproof, but who knows
what dark streets they have taken here?
Brother Death, here is a candy bar.
For the lady wearing the hat from Salem: gum.
And a penny for each eye, Lost Soul.
They fade away with their heavy sacks.
Thanks! I yell just in time.
Thanks for another year!

Ready For The Season
Tired of Summer.
Wishing I were standing in a store aisle packed with Halloween decorations.
Soon.

Arboreal Warrior
Wookiees are devoted, loyal friends and are very distrustful of
strangers. Life debt is sacred to Wookiees. Despite a fearsome
appearance and temperamental disposition, Wookiees are shown to be very intelligent and are very adept at handling advanced technology.
More troubling costumes here.

The Quarter Of Scarecrows
Inspired by the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran in which millions
of innocent civilians died, this drama is a disturbing allegory about
tyranny. Sad yet powerful, it depicts an infestation of crows on a rich
landowner's property and how a group of the village's children are
captivated to become live scarecrows. Symbolic imagery manifests itself
throughout the film, as scarecrows take over the land when children and
soldiers are hired to shoot and repel crows, but when one child
unexpectedly dies things take another turn.

The October Game
He had never liked October. Ever since he had first lay in the autumn
leaves before his grandmother's house many years ago and heard the wind
and saw the empty trees. It had made him cry, without a reason. And a
little of that sadness returned each year to him. It always went away
with spring.
But, it was a little different tonight. There was a feeling of autumn coming to last a million years.
There would be no spring.

Ephemeral Folk Figures
Some more images from the amazing book I mentioned before by Avon Neal and Ann Parker, exploring the folk art nature of scarecrows, harvest figures, and snowmen.
It felt kinda wrong scanning images from their book, so I snapped some photos instead (and they look creepier and cooler that way).
I'll be posting more in the coming weeks.
Gotta spread em out.

I Wear The Chain I Forged In Life
...for though the
Ghost sat perfectly motionless, its hair, and skirts,
and tassels, were still agitated as by the hot vapour
from an oven.
