We hit up Target today. A bunch of fun stuff. Seems like this year's theme is Monsters.

Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show
But you take October, now. School's been on a month and you're riding easier in the reins, jogging along. You got time to think of the garbage you'll dump on old man Prickett's porch, or the hairy-ape costume you'll wear to the YMCA the last night of the month. And if it's around October twentieth and everything smoky-smelling and the sky orange and ash gray at twilight, it seems Halloween will never come in a fall of broomsticks and a soft flap of bedsheets around corners.
But one strange wild dark long year, Halloween came early.

Last Shop Prop
I've gotten some emails inquiring about my Pumpkin Head Groundbreakers and unfortunately I won't be making any more this year. I'm focusing all my free time on the 2009 display. It's going well, but I still have a lot to get through. When the Corn Witch display popped into my head, I had no idea it would require so many new props. It kinda has a life of its own now.

Paranormal Activity
Been keeping an eye on this after learning about it on Dread Central a while back. Here's a fun trailer for it. I NEED to believe the hype.

1941 Chevy COE
This was one of those horror movie moments I'll never forget. I didn't know anything about JEEPERS CREEPERS when I put it into my dvd player. Then that strange truck flew up on the main characters' car and laid on the horn. Wonderful.
Here's a link regarding the whereabouts of the three trucks used during filming.

Additional information.
I'd love to tool around in something like that.
Ghost Tour
A couple years ago I was driving at night and cut through the backstreets of a colonial town. A clear and cool Autumn night, I was driving with the windows down. Up ahead I saw a dozen people standing on a corner holding lanterns and listening to a guide tell some tales - a lantern ghost tour. I slowed down and frantically sifted through my cds and popped in John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN score. I turned the music WAY up, drove by the group, then hung a right and was gone.

...the artwork and its sculptor – UA graduate student Joe McCreary – have a serious story to tell. Goldie symbolizes the closing of Birmingham’s Sloss Furnaces in 1972 and America’s passage into the post-industrial era. The robot is not so much dead or sleeping as turned off.
