  • The gray dull days of October

    The gray dull days of October

    There is something visceral about the warmth of September and the brutal chill of October. October‘s weather isn’t yet wintry in nature, but the hints and reminders are there but a darker time is coming.

    We go from those hot days and comfortable nights of September, with the bright sunshine allowing us to bask in that pretend the feeling that it’s still summer.

    But then winter starts to creep in, slowly at first. Leaves change, a few changes occur at the landscape level. Then your body begins to feel those differences, and your immune system struggles to adapt to its newfound life without sun..

    Suddenly the bright ball of light in the sky becomes a memory, deemed by the cloudy dull nature of the skies of late October. Sure, it’s fitting for the time frame were in, the season of the witch and all that hallows on the eve.

    But it still comes as a great and remarkable shock to the soul which worships that son God. And has since the conception of time.

  • Did you sign up for the big John Carpenter giveaway on Storm King?

    Did you sign up for the big John Carpenter giveaway on Storm King?

    A lot of her fans are pretty excited about the big John Carpenter giveaway! You can win some autographed materials including a record and poster from the Halloween films.

    But you also have to download an app and enter to win, the chances of downloading it today and winning are pretty slim since he would have to get into the app daily and do certain activity to earn points.

    The app is called Storm King, it’s most likely now on your phone too. Although it may be too late to win this John Carpenter autographed record, other prizes are sure to come with the next few months that could be equally cool.

    John Carpenter using the term “big giveaway“ is also cool. Halloween 3 is the most underrated film, as most people were waiting for the Michael Myers sequel instead of the standalone.

    This movie has been claimed by people in the modern era now much more than it was then.

  • HALLOWEEN WILL HAVE THE FIRST FULL MOON SINCE WORLD WAR II

    HALLOWEEN WILL HAVE THE FIRST FULL MOON SINCE WORLD WAR II

    This year, October has two full moons. October 1 gave us the Harvest Moon, the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox..

    This normally occurs in September but edged into October this year. Also known as the Full Corn Moon or Barley Moon in some parts of America, farmers have traditionally made the most of its light to gather in crops well into the night before winter sets in.

    The second full moon–in 2020 of course–happens on Halloween. It’s the first Samhain full moon since 1944 when World War II was still ravaging the planet.

    The second full moon in any given month is known as the Blue Moon; there are seven every 19 years. The name is something of a placeholder, given in order to keep the year’s other full moons in their rightful place. This is because the moon completes 12 full cycles of its phase in 354 days, eleven short of the full solar calendar year of 365 days.This year’s is particularly unusual as it is the first full moon to occur across all time zones since 1944, although there is a full moon on Halloween somewhere in the world every 19 years – meaning that the next one to occur will be in 2039, followed by 2058 and 2077.

    At your Halloween door: It’s Karen!

    This is the stuff Halloween nightmares are made of 2020!

    The dreaded ‘Karen,’ the nickname for just about anyone in 2020 that makes a big deal of the non mask wearers. Or the mask wearers. Or the protesters. Or the police supporters.

    Everyone has welcomed the “Karen” term with open arms.

    Much to the chagrin, perhaps, of real Karens out there! Just in time for Halloween, the Karen mask debuts! Artist Jason Adcock is responsible for the viral design. Actually two version:

    There are plenty of other amazing works of art on his Instagram page that you should take a look at.. But Karen seems to be the most relevant, and realistic, at this time.

    Jason Blum’s trick or treat: 10 more HALLOWEENS!?

    From jokes come truth..

    HALLOWEEN producer Jason Blum that he doesn’t want to stop at just one sequel and hopes the film’s success could inspire 10 more sequels.

    “We had talked about it but right now we’re not shooting any Halloween movies right now because we don’t have deal rights to the sequels,” Blum admitted to Moviefone. “But I certainly hope to make 10 more but I’ll start with one more.”

    Some may hope for the Shape to continue.. which if so would make him clear in his 70s when Blum finally concludes his wish of another decade of Halloweens..

    After the Salem Witch Trials, There Was the New England Vampire Panic

    After the Salem Witch Trials, There Was the New England Vampire Panic:

    On March 17, 1892, a group of local men dug up the three deceased members of the Brown family in search of a sign that one of them was rising from the grave at night to suck the energy from the living. After nearly 10 years, Mary Olive and Mary Eliza were almost entirely decomposed. But Mercy, buried only a few months previous in the cold New England weather, was almost perfectly preserved. The vampire hunters of Exeter had found their target.
