THE COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN: DAY 5

(SHEDDING LIGHT)



As the year gets closer to Halloween, I tend to peel my eyes and take long scrolls down the internet via google and deep plunges into the listings at eBay for all items that relate to the eve in question.

They say that if you want to know if something exists, simply check eBay and you'll find out.  And I find that to be fairly true--it's rare to stump eBay completely.  If it exists, someone is selling it or something similar.  Besides, I find the neatest pictures there even if I don't find the actual thing I'm looking for.

Tonight we're taking a break from Dracula to take a closer look at some spiffy Halloween themed lamps.  Why?  Well, three reasons actually; first, I found a bunch of neat ones listed over on eBay--that's right, some of these are still listed ; secondly, it's mighty late and this is a fast way to get something posted; and lastly, because I said so.

And so, let there be light:









The two pictures above are of the same lamp, but it's my favorite.





On that note, see you back here tomorrow for more funky features on this most frightening of holidays...

FEATURE FUNK FRIDAY: MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE - COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN (Day 7)

Tonight I'm trying for something a little different--presenting an entire fright film for you fearless folks to fawn for! MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE is infamously thought of as one of the worst films ever made. So you know what you're getting into when you get into this miasma of movie madness. The acting in this movie is beyond wooden, it is PETRIFIED WOOD! It is so bad as to be beyond belief... until you see it for yourself. Brace yourself for the worst of the worst. Look out Ed Wood, this film is coming to get you!

Before we get to the feature film tonight, here's a few songs accompanied by images to help you prepare yourselves mentally...

HAUNTED HOUSE - Ray Noble & The New Mayfair Orchestra (1931)
WHITE GHOST SHIVERS - The New Orleans Owls (1926)
BLACK CAT MOAN - Tiny Parham & His Orchestra (1929)


And now for the feature! Beware the Earth breaking greatness arriving at the 8:14 mark...
