All Hallows Eve

My second favorite holiday.

First Off, a complaint: I love to see originality in costumes. I tend toward the conceptual, making up something out of my head, or, if that fails, going as Alice Cooper.

Anyway, I propose a moratorium on "sexy" angels, nurses, schoolgirls, maids, etc. Everytime I see one, I feel like saying "Wow...Did you come up with that all by yourself?!". Naturally, if any of these are Undead, that's a different story...

Oh, and fellas...Going as Mr. T is one thing, but going in blackface is an entirely different thing. I'm not overly P.C. or anything, but some of the costumes I saw over the weekend were toeing a very fine line. You might wanna refrain from that. And speaking of blackface: Thanks for confirming this Right Wing Talking Point, you stupid fuck.

Secondly, I was trying to find something scary to post, and I came across the above. The footage is from the early Danish Expressionist film Haxan, a classic of horror. The music, equally sublime, is provided by the band Coil from their classic paen to Pier Paollo Pasolini Horse Rotorvator. Scary. Actually, this is scarier (or funnier).

Finally, I've been annoying folks with the quote below, but it's a Wizard tradition. It's about Werewolves:

"formulae ueteres exorsismorum et excommunicationum strigas et fictos lupos credere daemon pellem lupinamin trunco quodam cauae arboris occultandum halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween metamorphoses lycanthropie possunt inquam metamorphoses lycanthropie possunt inquam halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween" (The Misfits "Halloween II").
