Ding Dong

This has to be one of the less creepy versions I've heard of Carol of the Bells. Which is kind of odd, coming from someone called James and The Devil. 

Wishing Rain Would Turn To Snow

Some parts of Texas have been getting snow. Not me, unfortunately. 😒

Hang 'Em High

Taking a Sick Day

It's a good day to lay in bed. Or on the couch. 

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has a wonderful, spooky day! Eat plenty of candy and watch all the horror movies.

Tonight's Classic Viewings

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

I particularly lovelovelove Bride of Frankenstein. It's probably one of my favorite favorite movies ever. 

A Bit of Music for the Week

Perfect for that mid-week slump.

It's Finally Here!

I'm a little late on the draw, but October is finally here! Now, things have gotten quite busy in the bat cave, so I won't be posting like I usually do when this time of year rolls around. BUT, I will still be around, posting what and when I can.

To be honest, I'm just super happy it's October again.

Mellowing Out With a Creepy Vibe

*Refuses to Move From Couch*

It's not Sunday unless you completely waste it then feel really sad around 8 pm.

It's over 100 degrees outside. I got the a/c cranked up and the windows all covered. I cannot wait for fall to be here. 

Beware Those Big Cats

The Haunted House

Stephen Gammell

"She had no eyeballs, but there was a sort of blue light way back in her eye sockets. And she had no nose on her face.

Then she started talking. It sounded like her voice was coming and going with the wind blowing it…"

-"The Haunted House" from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (or at least of the books in the series) by Alvin Schwartz

Nothing To See Here

"The donkey brayed, the dog barked, the cat meowed and the rooster crowed. Then they crashed through the window into the room, shattering the panes."

That Saturday Feeling

It Was Awfully Quiet This Morning

The Mystic Forest. Sintra, Portugal. Photographer unknown.

"Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind and can't make itself understood, and so can't rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving."

- Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Dancing About

They say that shadows of deceased ghosts 

Do haunt the houses and the graves about, 

Of such whose life's lamp went untimely out, 

Delighting still in their forsaken hosts.

- Josuah Sylvester

Nothing Like Some Old School Disney To Cheer You Up

Let's take a trip to hell, shall we?
