Urban Legends of Halloweens Past: Fact and Fiction from All Hallows Eve
2007-10-31 21:09:00 They say that fact is stranger than fiction, and in urban centers on Halloween this is especially the case. There are probably more urban legends surrounding Halloween than any other holiday in the United States. Some believable ones have turned out to be false, while some surprising tales have ended up being true!

All Hallows Eve Eve
2007-10-30 18:45:00 Having been born in November of 1978, I had to wait a long time for several of my first holiday experiences. Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving ? I didn?t get to them until 1979, which is a real shame. Hazel?s lucky in that she was born before the boatload of important annual festivities. ...

All Hallows Eve
2007-02-24 02:13:01 I came up with some non-traditional Halloween songs for this post. These songs are all made by artists who aren't typically known for crafting spooky music, but they still evoke the Halloween spirit. Lenny Bruce: My Werewolf Mama This is an extremely rare track featuring Lenny Bruce on vocals, sounding like a demented cross between Screaming Jay Hawkins and Tom Waits. It features such fiendish lyrics as "Bite me on the neck- I said bite me on the neck- When you stop bitin' I'll be a total wreck- You're my werewolf mama- freaky as you can be" This should start your Halloween off on the right foot. Dean Gitter: The Reaper's Ghost I don't know much about Dean Gitter, but I spotted this track on the absolutely incredible Scar Stuff site. Eerie thoughts enter your mind when lyrics like "The reaper crossed the hayfield as sets the blood-red sun" are sung over a delicately strummed acoustic guitar. Here is a link to his post on this album. The site is comprised of many rare and out-...
