The Halloween Thread

[Typhon]

I thought I would start a thread devoted to my favorite holiday.   Post anything you like here that would in some way be related to Halloween.   For example:

     1) pictures of yourself from past Halloweens
     2) decorations at your residence
     3) a good song to play at a Halloween party
     4) and if you watch a scary movie, I'd appreciate it if you post here as well as the movie thread.  I know I will be watching a few this month.

Happy Halloween to all!

(1957) The first in the Frankenstein series of films released by Hammer Studios.  Peter Cushing is excellent as the mad doctor.  Christopher Lee is marvelous as the creature.  Hammer puts great effort into realism, as can be seen by the intricate detail of the apparatus in the doctors laboratory.  8/10

Peter Cushing is an actor I never tire of seeing perform. Thanks to Star Wars for exposing me to him and Alec Guinness.

Interesting...

My first encounter with Cushing was Sherlock Holmes and the Hound Of The Baskervilles with Christopher Lee...I was a Holmes fan before I was a Star Wars fan...

We don't have the same traditions for celebrating halloween as you USians and Finns, atleast not at my age. The last 10-15 years trick&treating have become more and more popular, though. We're getting Americanized...

But my own tradition is to take a hike in the forrest when it's pitch black, with nothing but a small flashlight. That make for a very special atmosphere. Hearing the sound of an animal just a few feet away, but not seeing anything, f.eks. Very nice. Very "Black Metal"...
