A Dark Shadows' Halloween Greeting / merged w/ HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL

[TERRY308]

Happy Halloween everybody!  Our house is on the dead end street, so nobody ever comes here.  But our granddaughter, who lives with us, goes everywhere.  This year, my daughter Tessa and her boyfriend Josh are taking Erin out.  They are going as Mario and Princess Toadstool.  Erin is going as Supergirl.

Again....Happy Halloween!

All the best to everyone on the board on perhaps my favorite day of the year!!!
    I took today off and figured while I was home I would have the plumbers over for a minor repair. On their way out, they looked at the bookcase, and commented on the complete set of Dark Shadows VHS tapes. I stated as the show was on almost 5 years, all the episodes cover over 250 tapes. They asked, "Have you watched them all?" My reply was of course, yes, all of them.
    I bought the 75th Anniversay special DVD of Frankenstein at Costco last night, and the cashiers sparked a conversation. "Oh, look at this (she turned to mthe other register) You ever seen this? That Boris Karloff was a great actor! This here's a classic. I love all them. Vincent Price, Barnabas Collins. Those are the classics."
       Dark Shadows is always with us. Let's keep a little Halloween spirit all year long.
       Have the best of all Hauntings today!

From Mark Rainey:


  OMG, Mark! Where do you get these things?!    You've certainly outdone yourself today!

 Â  Well tonight is the night I give candy to every child in the state of Maine.  I found out from a neighbor that the reason we have such a huge number of children for such a small neighborhood is because parents from out in the rural countryside bring their children by car to the neighborhood.  I bought 400+ pieces of candy this year.  I do hope there is some left over for me.

 Â  Hey, Mark is that Large Marge from the Pee Wee Herman movie

Thanks for the personal stuff, Bee!

Sometimes I get a little carried away and tend to over analyze. Gak! 

May I call you Aunt Bee?

Oh, now I am scared...I skipped becoming my mother and have turned into a 60's TV character. Say it isn't so¢â‚¬¦well, at least not Aunt Bee!

Don't worry, it'll pass.

Okay, that makes me feel a little better.

  A happy and safe Halloween to everyone! Andbecause we watch Dark Shadows, a bit of Halloween is to be had all year!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

You beat me, onyx_treasure: I get only about 90 trick-or-treaters.

Happy Halloween everybody!  

I was a bit disappointed - only 4 kids showed up here tonight!  I have LOTS of Luna bars left over.  I think maybe we would draw more kids if we had Halloween decorations (or at least Jack-O-Lanterns) in our front yard.  Maybe next year...

We were having a very nice, quiet Halloween, with only a handful of trick-or-treaters...until the bunnies showed up.

     Bunnies!  Bunnies!  Bunnies!  Lord, help us all.

Another great clip, Mark.

I hear ya Sally, I only had about a dozen or so, I was more than a little disappointed!  Decorating makes little or no difference as we DECORATED to the nines!     Anyway, gave all my leftover candy to my neighbors to take to work so I'm not tempted.  

[onyx_treasure]

     I had the "thundering hoardes" as usual.  My decorating for the holiday was minimal this year.  I put up a lighted spider and my carved Jack o'lantern.  We also played the new CD with Dark Shadows to the visiting trick or treaters.(I bet none of them recognized it.)  My husband usually puts out spider webs with plastic spiders and a scarecrow holding his head in his lap but we had a storm and high wind this past weekend so we ran out of time to decorate.  We have a lot of kids because the surrounding rural countryside does not have street lights or sidewalks.  It is just too dangerous for the kids to go trick or treating.

As tragic and horrifying as it is, thanks so much for sharing that footage, Mark. And let it be a lesson to others - bunnies may look cute, but they're horribly vicious creatures. (But then, no one has to tell Buffy's Anya that.  )

Hope you all had a great Halloween. We had quite a crowd of kids big and small at my house. Close to 75 before 7:30 pm. I ran out of candy by then and had to close shop. I spent my evening in bliss watching all the old horror movies and marathons and I think I saw the Corpse Bride about 4 times this past week. Love that movie.
