Halloween 08

[trikotomy]

I almost didn't celebrate Halloween this time. Almost. There have been some… difficulties. But, at the last minute I resolved to put up some décor and distribute childhood diabetes as The Ragpicker (reminder). I put out some speakers, a green-glowing skull pile that flickered according to changes in background volume, a sporadically moaning, long-haired, Japanese ghost head, a kennel of bones with claws sticking out of it that spewed fog, and a hidden camera. One child started crying just trying to approach the still-closed door. A few groups stopped in front of the building, looked at it, and walked past to the neighbors. I recorded a little for posterity. Later I crept around suburbia spasming and twitchily looking at passersby like an insect, as is the custom. There was some screaming.

Now while it's still vaguely appropriate, I have a show for you. If you like Evil Dead, you might like/hate this no-budget pilot for the homage/rip-off series Stiff, which aired quietly on Adult Swim one forgotten October night in 2007, never to be seen again. I liked it, but apparently it's virtually unknown and incredibly unpopular, so enjoy/vomit.
