Let's Do The Monster Mash Again

Well it's just struck midnight and so Halloween has begun.

The one time of the year when ghosties and beasties can go bump in the night as they do the dance macabre.

One of Frankenstein's relations looks like he's having a good time bopping away in the mist and cobwebs that the night has delivered.

Feeling Like Death Warmed Up

Since getting back from Italy, my sniffles seem to have developed into a fully blown cough, which not surprisingly is annoying Gail.

I'm beginning to feel like the creature in the photo, that I came across whilst walking across the city centre. I think it was to the entrance to a bar or night club, as there was a padlocked gate between me and 'it'.

I don't know what the party goers will think of it, as they queue up for a Halloween drink and a dance.

Man, That's Going To Be Some Headache

It was a Halloween themed night tonight at the local film club that Gail and I regularly go to.

Quite a few people had dressed up for the occasion, but Joe one of the staff had really got into the vibe with his blow up axe and fake blood.

It was a good night too, with great vegetarian chilli and chips and a showing of the 1973 high camp horror film - Theatre of Blood. It starred Vincent Price as a Shakespearian actor who bumps off a group of theatre critics in the style of some of the Bard's murders in his plays.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the film, and laughed at what is now a forty year old film, and one that doesn't take itself too seriously.
