Just tooling around the Google Images for Pumpkins lead me to a lot of really cool carved pumpkins. One really struck me as amazing though, it was of a Predator carved from a giant pumpkin. I found a very similar carved predator pumpkin on Pumpkin Gutter, which has some pretty freakin amazing pumpkins. These are not traditional carved pumps, but more like sculptures made from pumpkins. I liked the Spock pumpkin better than the Predator one. The Wife has done the Pumpkin Masters type of carving over the years and made some pretty cool ones. I don’t have the patience…

Boris Karloff and The Monster Mash
“Monster Mash” is a 1962 novelty song by Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett. Boris Karloff the man who became famous for being Frankenstein’s Monster, was the star of over 200 films according to IMDB. Such movies as The Man Who Changed His Mind and The Man They Could Not Hang are not well known today, but hey, when your an actor ten bucks is ten bucks. I always liked the Frankenstein films. I even liked the Abbott and Costello films which featured a number of monsters from Universal. Boris Karloff was one of those actors it was easy for other to make…
Disney’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
The Disney version of The Legend of Sleepy Hallow features the vocal skills of one Bing Crosby. I grew watching re-runs of Hope and Crosby Road Movies, Bing Crosby Christmas Specials, and Bing Crosby Florida Orange Juice Commercials. One of my all time favorite films is White Christmas, which featured Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye-Bob Hope must have been busy entertaining the tropes somewhere. Now Bing Crosby always played a kind and gentle soul, soft spoken and quick to forgive any offense. His children would later write books along the lines of Mommie Dearest telling the world that Bing was…
Judgement House The Hell You Say
There have been Haunted Houses for a long time. I remember being part of one when I was in the fifth grade. It was a closed off hallway in the school with the lights turned off and old mattresses and box springs tossed randomly on the floor so that you tripped your way through the little maze. Not sure they could do that kind of haunted house these days, what with law suites being what they are.Halloween is a good old fashioned Pagan holiday. One of many good old fashioned Pagan holidays that have been co-opted by more modern religions…
Topless Halloween Costume
Ok, maybe this cute little Chain Mail Halloween Costume from Amazon is not really topless, just transparent. I wonder if it is real metal? That would be heavy in addition to being pretty damned cold. There seems to be a few chain mail type outfits on Amazon and not just for Halloween. Of course, this not a scary Halloween Costume, unless she takes it off and hits you over the head with it. There’s also no Halloween mask, but that might be a Halloween wig. Definitely not a Disney Halloween Costume. Of course, Vanessa Anne Hudgens might like the look…
