Halloween

A few songs to set the mood for today.^^

Halloween - Stephen Lynch
This is Halloween - The Nightmare Before Christmas
Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett

Halloween does light up the autumn. When it gets a bit to cold to roam the forests hunting chanterelles (yes, it's hunting 'cause they would run if they could), you get pumpkinheads and masquerades to look forward to. Instead of barbies the toy stores sells the-essential-goth make up, witch hats and bats. It might be just another way to make commercial money, but I still think it's charming for a change.

"A pinch of your brother a teaspoon of you
With the head of your sister would make a good stew
I'd give you a taste but you're tongue's in the stew; irony
That's what Halloween means to me "
