I wasn't expecting The Wicker Man to be a musical.

Yes every Halloween we wandered suburban streets from first grade on, with no parental supervision, until after 9pm, ringing strangers’ doorbells, grabbing candy, all while wearing masks that 90% blinded us.

I should ask my Maine people about this.

If I were a misanthrope, I could do that with cranberries.

Update: I've scared two children without saying a word and a child wearing a DOC orange jumpsuit declared that people have been tricking him all night.

We just had our first Perry the Platypus. Michael assured me my Doofenshmirtz was solid, as was Perry's reply chitter.

Silent Film Fridays is off tonight as it is Halloween and I am posted at the front door, ready to hand out some sweets (or Play-doh, for those who prefer non-edible treats). Join us again next week, won't you?

What was said?

🎃 Trick or treat!

💀 We're handing out chills with THE SKELETON DANCE (1929), the bone-rattling classic where skeletons swing & sway till dawn! 🦴

Purgatory sounds rough.

I walked into my first class today and a student with a mascot-like goat head was sitting there like it was no big thing. I mean, dress for the life you want.

I found the following written on a manila folder in my university office: Talking about the best place to die for easy clean-up.

You look great!

It's very cozy. Knitted with Lion Brand Wool-ease, so it's washable!

I recently completed this and my hands needed a break. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Parents, please check your kids candy this Halloween. I just found a found Klingon Bird of Prey in a kid's candy bar. Be safe.

Happy Halloween 🎃 🚀

Vincent Price is usually a good idea.

Color illustration of a shorthaired grey tuxedo tabby kitten, lying on its back and gazing at its own pink toe beans with very wide yellow eyes. It is outside in green grass with some light purple flowers around.

Mesmerized by the wonder of toe beans. Book from my collection: The Shy Little Kitten by Cathleen Schurr, illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren. 1958.

A side of labor history I'm glad to learn more about.

I checked out the link and it's legit. If you need help, this could be a good place to start.

Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

Have we talked about this already? I don’t remember.
