H.P. Lovecraft's poem Hallowe'en in a Suburb was first published in a small press publication in 1926 then in Lovecraft's second posthumous Arkham House collection in 1943. For the reprint in the September, 1952 issue of Weird Tales editor D. Mcllwraith asked Virgil Finlay for an appropriate illustration. #FinlayFriday

@bookstodon "Most people are aware that Halloween has pagan roots. But what I found most fascinating about Rogers’ book is that between the druidic era and today there was a really long stretch—about 500 years or more—when Halloween was mostly known as a night when adolescent boys roamed around in packs and terrorized everybody."

Time to play catch-up again! I finished "Red X" a few days ago:
Heartbreaking and thought-provoking story 👍👍
The monster is seriously stomach-turning👍👍
This is, so far, my favorite book of the season. It deftly alternates between horror and drama. It has kept me chewing over it for the last couple of days (ie, the best thing that horror can do). Definitely worth a read!
Last night, we had an early celebration for my wife's birthday and we attended a live performance of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Both of us were virgins but we plan to go again in the future. It was a freaking blast! 😆
I finished "The Between" by Tananarive Due this morning:
There isn't much of a monster, per se, but plenty of supernatural stuff 👍
The story is consistently tense throughout and delivers gut-punch after gut-punch 👍👍
This is tied for my favorite book of the season. Even without a true monster, it is probably the most frightening book I've read this year. This is one that I would consider a must-read!
Finally, I ALSO finished "Strange Frequencies" by Peter Bebergal:
Tons of ghosts in this one, if that's your thing 👍
There's not really a story in this one (it's nonfiction) 😐
This is my favorite nonfiction book of the season, hands down. (It's been a great week for spooky books 😁) A fascinating look at how people use modern technology to bridge the gap between life and the spirit world!
Last night, we watched "When the Screaming Starts":
A couple of very memorable killers 👍
The story was predictable but fun 👍
This one was okay. It got a few big laughs out of me and the kills were pretty intense. The special effects were well done, too! Not a bad slasher movie, if that's what you're in the mood for and don't have anything else to watch
This morning, I watched "The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster":
There wasn't enough screentime for the monster 👎
The story was just a modern reinterpretation of "Frankenstein" 😐
I found the main character unlikable, the monster was barely in it, and it's a story we've (mostly) heard many times before. Some thought provoking moments here and there but, sadly, I wasn't very impressed by this one
A lot of monsters, and they're all cheesy as hell 👍
The story was fine. It existed, I guess 😐
Not a bad watch by any means but, unless you're looking for stilted acting and bargain bin special effects, it's hard to recommend. Some kills toward the beginning were hilarious but they lose steam as the movie goes on. Overall, a little better than okay
I'm not sure if this falls under horror or not. There might be supernatural stuff. It's probably closer to sci-fi... Still, the actors did a great job and the script is pretty interesting. Not a bad watch if you're okay with small-ish budget character studies
The story is presented as a found footage montage 👍
This has been on my watchlist for years and I'm glad we finally watched it! One of the most genuinely freaky movies I've watched this year. If you're looking for interesting characters, tasteful jump scares, and lingering psychic damage, this is a must watch!
