  5. ALIEN SCIENCE FICTION HORROR: ‘Nasty Thing Inside’ by DAVE SMITH

  9. I hosted many memorable parties in my lifetime, before becoming a confirmed Hermit, but perhaps the best was our 1977 "Disco Wizard of Oz" Party, based on the "Meco Plays 'The Wizard of Oz'" Disco Album. A fine time was had by all! #halloween #wizardofoz #dorothy #glinda #goodwitch #badwitch #munchkins #franklbaum #wizard #thewonderfulwizardofoz #halloweenparty #halloweengathering #samhain #autumnequinox #equinox #changeofseasons #sevenmountains #holiday #holidays #celebrating #celebrate

  11. One of the theories I explore addresses the question: why are these two Munster-Mórrígna found in seasonal *triples* celebrating #imbolc, #Bealtaine, and #Lughnasa, but not #Samhain? And the answer, I think, is that in these guises they represented stages of the Corn: Planting, Ripening, and Harvest.

    That leaves one season and one goddess, but we already have a good idea: the last sheaf of the corn was woven and kept respectfully for next year, and called the #Cailleach - the same name as the goddess of Winter.

    That seems to put the Mórrígan in the position of being the representation of the "Maturing/Ripening" stage of the Corn. Planting should be done by Bealtaine! Planting is Brighid's business! :)

  15. #Halloween originated in Ireland from the ancient #Celtic festival of #Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. The tradition of carving jack-o’-lanterns comes from an Irish folktale about “Stingy Jack.” 3)

  17. In February 1986, Samhain III: November-Coming-Fire was released.

    The last album actively released under the Samhain moniker, as the transitional project that had bridged the gap between the horror punk of the Misfits and the dark, heavy metal- and blues-influenced sound of Danzig, in which it would dissolve into after their Def Jam signing the following months.

  19. 🕯️ El hombre de mimbre

    Una figura inmensa respira en el claro. No grita, no corre: espera. El fuego todavía no existe, pero ya se huele. Esta historia empieza como un mito y termina preguntándose qué hay de verdad en la relación entre celtas, sacrificios y Halloween. Cuando la luz se enciende, la ficción tiembla.

  25. 1-A series of 4 short videos for the #CrossQuarterDay between Autumn Equinox + Winter Solstice. The date is +/- November 7, observances from 10/ 31 to 11/ 10: #Halloween #DayOfTheDead #Samhain, #MartinsDay etc. In #Latvian tradition it's #Mārtiņi or Mārtiņdiena- which shares a name- and modern date, Nov 10- with the Christian saint, but celebrates a much older #pagan god.
