Holy cats - it’s November already?! Take care of yourselves out there and if you can, help take care of others who have hit a rough patch. It’s scary out there for everyone. Know that you’re loved and not alone.

Lights off and no more trick-or-treaters so we’re settling in for our Halloween tradition film: “The Haunted World of El Superbeasto”. 😺🎃

We bought too much candy. We were told we’d have a bunch of kids this year but sadly it was not to be. After one more half-hour, I’m gonna close up shop but leave some bags out in case there’s spirits who need a sugar boost,

We have no light by the door so I had to put a lamp outside so people could see we have candy. *facepalm*

Early treat bags for little kids, along with a witch in a cauldron asking them to take a bag please.

Whew. Just finished packing up candy bags - now to see if we get a flood of teens and middle schoolers. (Had some bags ready earlier for the little kids)

Not On My Patch: a Young Wizards Halloween Just another Halloween in the Young Wizards universe... Ronan burst out laughing as the tatty dark shapes came lurching and staggering closer and closer to the wizards in the darkness, bits and pieces...

On #Halloween Eve: a Young Wizards take on the spookiest night of the year. WARNING: contains bats, black cats, too many zombies, too much candy corn, and Ultimate Evil with a #pumpkin spice latte. *Not On My Patch*: ebooks.direct/products/not...

Congratulations on your discovery of a stable wormhole.

Some bits of technical difficulty with this one - Windows suddenly decided that its initial form of casting (which worked great last month) no longer was worthy. Gotta find a new app to cast from my laptop. (Currently casting from my phone - works but not ideal)

Now we move on to a film that was the darling of Sundance when it appeared. It's the Iranian punk-rock vampire western, "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night". The version from IA is in Farsi with English subtitles, to make it a little more accessible.
