Ghouls and zombies roam the streets
Playing tricks and seeking treats
Frankenstein's monster restored
Or wild were-woman so abhorred
Shambling corpses reach out, blind,
Trying to seize both hearts and minds
Hide your face and shake and scream!
Forget politics, it's Halloween.
See, The Velvet moved from Romero to Downtown. They never did pull off that zombie thing.

Ooooo,
spooky. Halloween! Kids using the cop-knock at all hours. If they
refuse to leave, just throw some ice-cubes in their bags. Hey, eggs are
pretty easy to clean up; that's why man invented ants. If they soap your
windows, just get out the hose and BAM, clean windows. TP can be
recycled but I don't have trees like that in my yard. Anyway, the
economy isn't that bad. Yet.

So, I could tell ghosts stories, but I just don't have it in me. In the meantime, I recommend you read Kwaidan,
by Lafcadio Hern. I heard that ghost stories were a cheap substitute
for AC and that you tell them in the summer so chills will run up your
spine. It's totally bull, but it's lyrical bull.

STORY TIME:
When
I was a kid, I had a Halloween party and my mom went to the public
library and got a copy of "War of the Worlds" on 16mm (with the
projector). It was a condensed version in black & white and there
was no sound; I don't know if the single reel had a missing record or
Mom couldn't get the projector to work right or what. Anyway, she sat
behind us and told us the story, doing all the voices and sound effects.
When Sylvia's pastor-dad gets fried, that was very exciting because
there was the low intonation of the Lord's prayer and Sylvia begging him
to come back and then NEEEROW NEEROW ZAAAAAAATTTTT Aieeeeeeeee! Oh, we
screamed as kids.
Much later, I was at a guy's house and he had a
pet iguana named Harry who lived on top of his nice, warm VCR, and we
rented "War of the Worlds" and the hero introduced himself as "Dr.
Forrester, Dr. Clayton Forrester" and we howwwwled with laughter and
Jeremy got out some black construction paper and a pair of scissors and
nervously set about cutting out a silhouette of Joel, Tom, and Crow and
taped it to the bottom of his TV.
I do so love that movie. The original. The new one had a cool sound effect, but that was about it.

So,
Halloween, you have to talk about demons and devils and man oh man, I
used to play Diablo 2 all the damn time like some kind of meth addict.
But I'll never forget that first time I killed Diablo and how I shook
with excitement.
