Molson The Swimmer
I swore I would never dress my dog for Halloween but it was too tempting, the goggles around the neck, the cap fit with a little string around his neck and tomorrow I will fit a suit around him.
Molson, will be a swimmer for Halloween. A Stingray to be exact. Maybe we can get him into a 50 yard freestyle next year.

Halloween 2008
This is another classic to hear around Halloween time. Its Bauhaus with Bela Lugosi's Dead. Lugosi was probably best known for his role in 1931's Bram Stoker's, Dracula. Before becoming a film, Dracula was a Broadway play in 1927.
Lugosi has influenced numerous acts in pop culture from the Bauhaus to the Kinks who wrote a song called Celluloid Heros.This is not the original Bauhaus video, it is the 12" single of the song and includes some nice shots throughout. Its over nine minutes long but well worth the listen.
Bela Lugosi's Dead
White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead
Undead undead undead

Halloween 2008
My favorite Halloween movie series is none other than Mr. Michael Myers. To me Myers never got stale where as Freddie and Jason lost their punch as they went along. Last year Rob Zombie re-did the original Halloween and this is a clip from that:Category: Halloween 2008
Halloween 2008
Today I go back to Poltergeist II. The Reverend Henry Kane scared the living crap out of me in that movie, still does. This is the old trailer from the movie, surprisingly, not too many of the original clips out there featuring that scene of him singing the song as hes walking up the driveway. I almost forgot the Poltergeist curse in which four of the original actors were killed between Poltergeist I and III.

Halloween Movies
One of my favorites every year around Halloween to shove into the VCR is Ghostbusters. Keeps the spokey season comedic. The cast was awesome and its a shame they couldn't get them back together for a Ghostbusters 3. The exchange between Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray in this clip is legendary by now.

Halloween TV
The best Halloween special of all time with ease is The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. You have to love Snoopy rising out of the patch.

Scary Tunes
I saw Alice Cooper two years ago, having absolutely no expectations and really never being a fan of him, I walked out impressed and blown away by the 58 year old's stage show along with the quality of the music.
I knew the classics but had no idea what to expect live. What I got was one of the best shows I have ever seen and the guillotine scene was like no other concert experience I have ever been to.

Exorcism of Emily Rose
One of the scariest if not the scariest movie to me was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Based on a true story, it shows some horrific scenes. I am not religious in any sense of the word but seeing this movie leaves you wondering a little. Either way, it ranks right up there amongst my favorite scare movies of all time and being a great Halloween night candidate to throw in the DVD player:

Scary Songs
Halloween is fast approaching and I seem to be enjoying this holiday more and more every year. Today I have a scary song, Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting (The Vampire Song). Concrete Blonde actually formed in the early 1980s and they were originally named Dream 6 until none other than Michael Stipe of REM suggested the new name.
The song and album entitled Bloodletting was released in 1990 and I saw them the following year open for Sting at Skydome on Sting's Soul Cages tour.
