On the 18th Day of Halloween... I will serve up some cuteness, fine. But we were all supposed to instantly, magically grow up at 18, were we not? Art is "Princess of Bones" by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. The sonic edge is provided by Kittie, the queens of metal, covering Pink Floyd... fantastically. This ride on the Ghost Train only gets darker from here, kids. Enjoy the...

Here is the first of several entries that I will only post here... because I don't think any other social media site will appreciate it. Art is photography (!) by Emma McEvoy... the music is by Blue October. Follow me to climb aboard the Ghost Train, and get daily Halloween art and music... the sacred month is half over, kitties and cats. Gets to knows...

The Ghost Train rumbles on into the...

So now I am caught up on the October days I missed. Here is some wow photography featuring Katya and Stepan the Bear. The song is by Henry Hall, and is a true unheralded gem of vintage spookiness.

Happy 14th Day of Halloween! Perfect weekend for binge watching horror movies (if you can escape the dreaded honey-do list). So your Samhain Sunday Brunch guests this week are Ripley, Jones and Mama by Jen Bartel. Musically, I could not decide whether to go with a straight-up horror tune, or something more complex. I opted for the latter. The song is Panic Switch. Enjoy, my...
