HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

It's Halloween
It's Halloween
It's time for scares
It's time for screams
It's Halloween
It's Halloween

The ghosts will spook
The spooks will scare
Why, even Dracula will be there!

It's time for games
It's time for fun
Not for just one
But for everyone

The jack-o-lanterns are all lit up
All the dummies are made and stuffed
By just looking you will see
It's this time of year again

It's Halloween
It's Halloween

All the kids are happy and gay
There doesn't seem to be a cloud in their way
But when it's over and they've had all their fun
They'll wish that Halloween had just begun

Oh, there are witches, goblins, vampires, devils, Frankensteins and zombies
And there are tramps, Cinderallas, pirates, angels and gypsies
So let's have lots of fun and give many cheers
For Halloween comes but once a year

It's time for games
It's time for fun
Not for just one
But for everyone

It's Halloween
It's Halloween
It's Halloween
It's Halloween

It's Halloween!


-"It's Halloween" by the Shaggs (1969)

Fuck, YEAH! It's Halloween once more, and I could not be happier. It's my favorite day of the year and I'll be rockin' the Ro-Man outfit from ROBOT MONSTER, so all is right in the world. I've gotta tell ya, it's so much fun to ride the subway looking like a total goddamned idiot (moreso than usual, that is), delighting the usually unsahkable denizens of the Rotten Apple and getting special appreciation from bad movie fanatics who recognize what I'm supposed to be.

Tonight I'll be doing the photo safari thing with Jared at the SOYLENT GREEN-level crowded annual Halloween parade, after which we'll hit the Christopher Street area and get pictures of the wondrous madness down there. The amazing Suzi and her equally cool Standard Poodle, Reggie, live in the area so I'll be seeing them as well, and that's always fun. I have no set gameplan other than what I've outlined here, and I think I've left plenty of room for improvisation, but after midnight I may hit the local haunts back around my nabe in Brooklyn. It's a good bet that the mighty Rex will be out and about, rockin' her Sheena look and raising hell, so I'll probably give her a call.

As for tomorrow, I plan to recouperate and possibly see both ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO and a rare screening of my favorite horror movie, Roman Polanski's 1968 masterpiece ROSEMARY'S BABY, perhaps the ultimate tale of spousal betrayal(the plot in a nutshell: asshole hubby makes a deal with a coven of Satanist witches so they can use his innocent catholic wife as the broodmare for Satan's baby, all to further his going-nowhere acting career). Yeah, it's all good for the first time in weeks, so I'm gonna enjoy it while I can. I'll most likely take a break from the Vault until Monday or Tuesday, by which time I plan on having a gallery of crazt photos up for all of you to feast your eyeballs upon, so from the bottom of my heart, have a safe and happy Halloween!

Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween

Dead cats hanging from poles
Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween

Brown leafed vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween

This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween

Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween

This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember

Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
