There Was Only The Sky And The Wind And The Water And The Autumn Coming On Lonely.
"Strange," he said, softly. "Strangest thing I ever saw. She's been dead a long time."
I repeated his words.
He nodded. "Ten years, I'd say. There haven't been any children drowned here this year. There were twelve children drowned since 1933, but we found all of them before a few hours had passed. All except one, I remember. This body here, why it must be ten years in the water. It's not---- pleasant."
I stared at the gray sack in his arms. "Open it," I said. I don't know why I said it. The wind was louder.
He fumbled with the sack.
"Hurry, man, open it!" I cried.

O Fortuna On The Brain
Click below...
Random Memory about this song: Was driving around back in the 90s I think, and some new bright yellow convertible Mustang pulls up at the same red light. BLARING from the car's amazing speakers is O Fortuna. Driving this fine car is a meathead the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger. His passenger: A tiny skinny guy. The music is SO loud it's hard to describe.
Kudos to those guys for not being too embarrassed to do this late at night with the top down in the summer. I remember the light turning green and the car peeling out. And then them hopping on an onramp to a local highway, where the guy really gunned it. Riding off like King Arthur, with a tiny squire.
On a yellow horse.

It was known as the "Spook House." That it was tenanted by evil spirits, visible, audible and active, no one in all that region doubted any more than he doubted what he was told of Sundays by the traveling preacher. Its owner's opinion of the matter was unknown; he and his family had disappeared one night and no trace of them had ever been found.

Underlake
A neighbor's 22-ft. sailboat sank because mice had eaten the foam insulation over the winter, and the first time it launched water flooded the hull and dragged the nose under. The rest of the boat followed, drowning gracefully, like a ballerina taking a bow. It was probably still there somewhere, Nan thought, upright on the lake bottom, sails full up. Down past the cold layer, where the toothy, prehistoric pike trolled, down, down, to the dark vanished world, resting in the underlake, lazily rocking its mast while people went tubing and skiing, touching the surface of the lake with their slightness like water bugs.

They should make a horror movie about a Trader Joe's parking lot.

Let's Find Out About Halloween: Hard Cover
Had an evening filled with debauchery (Italian food and a martini [and maybe a lot of wine]) hanging with my brother, and the guy surprised me with a gift: a hard cover, library edition version of our favorite childhood Halloween book. Pretty cool gift I'd say. And neat as it has different coloring than the version we grew up with.... a neat pale blue ink.
Here's a comparison shot from the old book from my youth...

Birthday Party
That birthday scene in SIGNS. I never really pondered the fact that some kid must have seen something moving through the bushes in the yard for all of them to have abandoned the cake and food like that.
I'll truly never forget the moment I saw this scene in the theater. Every single man, woman, and teen in there screamed.
As a horrible side note: I used to sit near a funny Puerto Rican woman and one time I called her over to show her this scene on youtube. I always wanted to know what those kids were yelling. Well, I ask "What are they saying, Maria? You can understand, right?! TELL ME!" She yelled, "It's Portuguese, you DUMBASS!" Also important to note, I once told her I had a pet Chupacabra. She wasn't amused and felt I cracked the joke to her due to her race (I think I did), which led to the office nickname from her of "Chupa"...for over a decade. I deserved it.
She said it every time as though she was calling me dumbass.
I reached out to her recently to see how she was doing and it was "Hey, Chuuuuuupa!"

The Hand
Looks like the remains were moved right after the collapse of the old wall... some secrets stay buried, apparently.

The Haunted (1991)
A TV movie that was pretty creepy back in 1991 and still holds up (for the most part).
It dealt with the Smurl poltergeist and the creepy photo below of the real family pretty much proves that it was all true (though based on that logic, photos of my miserable family prove we had a poltergeist of our own... and we didn't [not that I know of]).
Click below for a very simple and spooky scene (I wish modern ghost films would do the subtle stuff more often)...
