In lieu of some real Halloween links, here’s a quickie: Places on earth that are supposedly gateways to Hell.
And here’s another video on the same subject:

Halloween Horrors: Gateways to Hell
Friday, October 27th, 2017Another Year, Another Halloween Prop Show
Thursday, October 26th, 2017A new job and a new dog have been eating up a lot of my time, so I’ve fallen down on my regular Halloween posts.
But here’s a nice video of the latest Halloween scare props. All these seem to be from the same company. Sadly, I doubt I can afford any of them…
Library Addition: Michael Swanwick Signed Poem on Leaf
Friday, November 18th, 2016Here’s an incredibly odd (and likely fragile) item:
Swanwick, Michael. Signed Poem on Leaf. Dragonstairs Press, 2016. First edition. Note: Signed poem on leaf is a description more than a title, since it’s literally a leaf with a poem written on one side, and signed, numbered (4/20) and dated “2016” by Swanwick on the other. This just showed up unexpectedly in the mail. In cardboard sleeve stating “For a friend of/Dragonstairs Press” and the shipping envelope.

Halloween Horrors: Mummified Clown
Thursday, October 27th, 2016Which is scarier, a clown or a mummy?
Well, how about a mummified clown?
The California Institute of Abnormalarts, a bar and concert venue that also functions as a museum of oddities, is home to something that will make anyone with coulrophobia (an irrational fear of clowns) quake in their boots…and it’s every bit as creepy as you might imagine….
Some time ago, Crew acquired what he claims to be the mummified corpse of a clown known as Achile Chatouilleu, a performer who died in 1912.
Achile, whose name translates to “French tickler,” reportedly asked before his death to be embalmed in his favorite clown costume and makeup. The body – which is still in perfect condition today – is pretty creepy, to say the least.
If anyone reading this is out in LA, feel free to drop by the CIA and let me know how well-embalmed the clown looks up close…
Halloween Horrors: A Blog About Devices for Speaking to the Dead
Wednesday, October 26th, 2016This seems like a good thing to mention in October: a blog dedicated to devices for speaking to the dead.
There are planchettes and Ouija boards aplenty, but also tipping tables and rapping hands.
Or how about a neanderthal spirit that supposedly killed 15 people at a French sanitarium?

I’m not the sort of person to poke around abandoned buildings any time, much less at night, but here are some creepy, scary, and unexplained things that urban explorers have chanced across doing just that.
Holy Fark: They’re Making a TV Series of Candle Cove
Tuesday, October 11th, 2016That was my reaction upon reading this.
In fact, making is probably the wrong word, since it evidently premiered on SyFy tonight. (I’ve been busy.)
If you hadn’t heard of it before, it’s a Creepy Pasta about a obscure kid’s TV marionette show, except most kid’s shows don’t have characters like “The Skintaker.” And naturally, kid’s remember how creepy it was, but parents only remember them watching static.
Here’s a trailer:
And here’s someone’s interpretation of the imaginary show’s imaginary theme music:
Halloween: Betty Boop’s Snow White
Monday, October 3rd, 2016It’s October already, so time to start putting up some Halloween posts, so here’s Betty Boop’s version of Snow White. Really digging those crazy background images during the Cab Calloway song…
