Each night father fills me with dread
As he sits at the foot of my bed
I don’t mind that he speaks
In gibbers and squeaks
But for seventeen years he’s been dead.
From The Listing Attic, Edward Gorey. Circa 1954.
For some gory Gorey, see my Compulsions.
Happy Halloween.
Keep your girl children out of outfits that sexualize, and keep yourself out of outfits that infantilize.
Boo
Peace

I saw some real life trick or treaters this year.
Whene’er you feel lonesome and daunted,
Just visit a house that’s been haunted.
The swirling dead
Encircling your head
Should sure make a witch feel wanted.
WooooOOOO

Good job I didn’t wear that huge chuckie outfit then…

no doubt that is for the best
I love the aura around Halloween, the opening of horror movies, the smell of leaves, the shadows in the woods.
I’m partial to scoby doo.

scooby is nice but not near scary enough
Wasn’t some of Gorey’s stuff considered nursery rhymish? Pretty ghoulish stuff for kids.

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
(That’s from a relatively obscure Vincent Price monologue I once heard.)

Happy belated Halloween Coop.
I’ve never really celebrated it much. Growing up we really weren’t allowed to. Now that I’m older I can’t say I ever think much about it.
