Guess What? It's Halloween!

Take Me To The River
Michael Shinafelt


Happy Halloween Minions! 

It's my favorite Holiday of the year, "Yes" you read that correctly. I hope you all have some fiendish things plan to celebrate this high holy day.

My plan this year is to  Seek out the dark forces and join the hellish crusade, and aren't you happy?!

As you can see the Ferrymen await to take me on my journey down the River Styx.

Gotta Go! 

Beware, have fun and be safe!

Bat Out Of Hell

Coming At You From Hell


This is what the Bat Out Of Hell looks like to me. I'm sure you have your own interpretation of said bat. 

TGIF! Halloween is tomorrow...Beware!!!

"Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes

When the night is over, like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you" - Bat Out Of Hell, Meat Loaf

Hump Day & Chill

Femur Swift

Can you feel it? Halloween is almost here, this Saturday to be exact. Thus it's time for a Spooky Season Hump Day & Chill.

What's more Chill and thematically dead on (pun intended) than a skeleton floating in a pool???

I ask you? As usual I'm waiting...

So grab the witches brew of your choice and give a Hump Day & Chill toast with myself and Femur Swift to Halloween!!! 

"Yes" you heard me correctly my skeleton's name is Femur Swift.

Cheers!

BTS: Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock & Janet Leigh

Here's a BTS shot of Alfred Hitchcock directing Janet Leigh on the set of his groundbreaking film Psycho.

I wonder what he was telling her with regard to her character, Marion Crane's fateful drive from Phoenix, AZ to Fairvale, CA. Oh to be a fly on that car.

Whatever it was it worked. The film is a piece of cinematic history.

TGIF! Eight more days until Halloween!!!

Creepy Crawlers

Creepy Crawlers

This photo was taken at the Goth Hotel in Hollywood, CA. For the record the Goth Hotel is not an actual Hotel, but a place a friend of mine was housesitting. A quite spooky place I might add.

All the decor was creepy crawlers and other such macabre items. 

How many creepy crawlers do you see in this photo. I spy three with my evil eyes. 

Boo! 

TGIF! 15 days until Halloween!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Rocky & Janet

Friday is Halloween! Thus I thought we should Hump Day & Chill to something horror related. While The Rocky Horror Picture Show isn't considered a horror movie, it does lift many elements from said films.

Oh, and it contains the most fun element of all...it's highly sexual. Thus I'm leaving you with lyrics from one of my favorite songs from it with a still from the scene it goes with.

Touch-A-Touch-A-Touch-A-Touch Me...

"I thought theres no use getting, into heavy petting,

It only leads to trouble and, seat wetting,Now all I want to know, is how to go,I've tasted blood and I want more (more, more, more)I'll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance,I've got an itch to scratch, I need assistance,
Toucha, toucha, toucha, touch me,I wanna be dirty,thrill me, chill me, fullfill me,Creature of the night" Janet Weiss, The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Eighteen & Counting...

Michael Myers v Santa Claus

Halloween is 18 days away those retailers who have already decked their halls with Christmas decor need to slow their roll!

I mean the best day of the year hasn't even happened yet and here you are trying to shove something down our throats that is still over two months away.

Could you wait at least until November 1st?! That would be an acceptable solution Home Depot (and others, but they are the only one I've experienced on a personal level thus far)

Thank you,

Michael Shinafelt and several hundred thousand like minded individuals

PS I'm putting rocks in all of those who are guilty Trick R Treat bags, so there!!!

"Screamityville"

On October 14, Borderline Media proudly presents Screamityville on Blu-ray, DVD, and select digital platforms. The film invites you to take a hauntingly fun tour of Halloween-themed houses, from the same creators who brought you Christmas Lights, Christmas Lights 2: Bigger Dazzling Displays, and Christmas Lights 3: Winter Wonderlights.  


Screamityville shows off dozens of spectacular homes, each fully decked out to celebrate the thrills and chills of Halloween. These homeowners have taken things far beyond simply placing a pumpkin on the porch. Numerous front yards are covered in elaborate and overwhelming displays of tombstones, skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, humongous spiders, ghastly ghouls, and anything else that goes bump in the night. A wicked clown house will reinforce your suspicions and phobias. Glowing ghosts float through the trees and creepy cemeteries. Cobwebs, smoke, and strobe lights enhance the gory and horrifying effects that turn sweet suburban front yards into supernatural wonderlands.  

The 84-minute tour is brought to life with spooky atmospheric music and chilling sound effects, perfect for your Halloween-themed party. There are no interviews or narration to interrupt the spooky displays as the camera explores the array of undead marvels. Viewers will find themselves amazed, shocked, and inspired by the sights and sounds of Screamityville.

Halloween Inspiration


Saw this perfectly macabre mock book cover online the other day. I found it the perfect vessel to inspire for the High Holy Day known as Halloween.

After all how can you go wrong with Murder & Flowers for the scariest day of the year?!

Indeed...

The Night HE Came Home

Michael Shinafelt

TGIF! Only six more days until the night HE came home..."Yes" Halloween, duh! 

To celebrate the impending high holy day here I am in one of my favorite T-Shirts paying tribute to my my favorite horror movie of all time 1978's Halloween starring Jamie Lee Curtis.

Why is it my favorite? It was the first R rated horror movie I saw in a theater and it had the most impact on me of any of the ones I've ever seen since.

I mean who didn't see Michael Myers creepy white mask somewhere lurking in the dark somewhere after viewing this classic.

So here we are Halloween 2024, are you ready? 

Trick or Treat!

Hump Day & Chill

Erika Jayne

Here we are one week and one day until Halloween! So I guess it's time to Hump Day & Chill and spill what I am going to be...I'm going to be what Erika Jayne is in the photo above a "Dom Top."

Translation: I'm not really dressing up, I'm simply raiding my actual wardrobe 

A bit too cheeky on this HD&C for October 23, 2024?

Too bad you won't be there for the big reveal....

Hump Day & Chill! Cheers!

Dark Lady v White Witch

Dark Lady v White Witch
Cher & Stevie Nicks

So here we have a Cher and Stevie Nicks meme made for Halloween Month. They are in two of their fame grabbing personas The Dark Lady & The White Witch (I'm sure you can guess which one is witch.)

Time to choose your warrior Minions! Which witch is your stan? 

Honestly I wished they had something less black and white, so to speak. Personally I think they need to find a more balanced betwixt the two.

I'm guessing that makes me the Dark Witch or the White Lady? 

Ugh! Just no! I'm going to do my own thing and create my own category.

Tim to go ride my disco stick! TGIF!
