Zombie Jamboree

Friday the 13th.

I nearly turned in to Jason, Hocky Mask and all.
Friday was the day from hell. I worked two 8 hour shifts in the course of 25hours. HELLOOOOOOOOOOO GRAD NIGHTS.
Yeah. Hellish. Never had to do that before, it was the epitome of not groovy. How ever I got paid, so I do not care. (I love, however, how they gave me just enough time between shifts to avoid overtime pay)
Today is my first real evening to myself this work week.
But a cool thing happened this past grad night: I work at TLT, and we have a stage. On that stage was a DJ spinning techno and house music all night.
At the stroke of midnight the all too familiar refrains of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor came over the speakers with a thick beat in the background. Deadmau5's ghost's and stuff then faded in, and then came a well timed Vincent Price Thriller Laugh.
Hehe.

I liked that DJ.

An old favorite, Blood Money, and Old Weapons.

Music for the season: The Legendary Score of Halloween. I know its old, I know its a touch overused, but it is the best as far as I'm concerned.

A murder post.

How Dark.

People are Strange, When you're a stranger, Faces look ugly, when your alone.

Reccomended Listening for this post: People are Strange by the Doors, as covered by Johnny Hollow:

It's so Appropriate

I just can't get it out of my head.

When your strange....... 

hehe.

I need to go back to Michaels and pick up that Skull Mask Mache they had... 

On a completely Random note:

So I'm going to go through and add Tags to my posts, and do that from now on to make crap easy to find.

Because I love you people and I'm nice. And if I decide to do it later, well... thats just more posts to fuss over. 

Music To Create By

This post isn't wholly Halloween Related, but it is a quintessential part of my creative process. 
Guild Wars is my Favorite game of all time, as of this moment. Guild Wars is an MMORPG that I started playing back in 2005, and back then I had a CD of the origional score that I listened to constantly (COLLECTORS EDITION FTW!)

I recently remembered my Account information to the Direct Song website and re-downloaded the Original CD, which I have seemingly lost in the intervening years, and I re-downloaded my Guild Wars Factions soundtrack that I bought in 2006.

Jeremy Soule's sweepingly epic music really adds the right punch to the game, to give you perspective I picked up WoW after I played Guild Wars and hated the game for its LACK of a good musical score. The soundtracks stir somthing inside you from begining to end, and this is the soundtrack to jump-start my creative process

If your looking for something to put in your Haunts I would Recommend Eve's Theme (shes a necromancer, and as such her theme is dark) and Abadons Mouth both from Prophesies, I haven't gone through Eye of the North or Nightfall yet, but both might have good stuff on there.

Enjoy.

Of rethinking static props and childhood memories

I love how these are playing the roles of static props, instead of the classic plastic skull sitting on the ground... very artistic

Beautiful bird, that reminded me of something: When I was a child living in our small apartment on Cheyenne, my mother always put black poster board cutouts of a graveyard scene and a witch over the moon in a small window in the Dining room that faced out to the trick or treaters. My mother cut them by hand and they still exist, as we get closer to the holiday, I'll most likely get a photograph and post it here.

Another photograph that sends me to my childhood memories: this record was played by my mother every year on Halloween, and many other days beside by me, since my mother kept it among her record collection all year long.
