Halloween Thriller

June 27th, 2009 by John Wolfe

If you were a child of the 80′s (and especially if you loved Halloween or horror), no doubt, Michael Jackson’s Thriller had an enormous impact on you. Anytime I hear the title track from the album, I’m immediately taken back to Friday night skating parties at our local roller rink: the smell of greasy pizza, the sound of Donkey Kong Jr devouring quarters, and MJ and his zombies dancing it out on the big projection screen at the end of the rink.

In honor of Michael and the influence both he and Vincent Price had on me through that song, here’s a great rendition I found on You Tube. It features college students performing the Thriller Dance at their 2007 Halloween Ball.

Halloween & Paranormal Chat Box

June 27th, 2009 by John Wolfe

For the time being, I’ve added a chat box to the bottom of the home page. I thought it would be a cool addition for like-minded visitors to connect with one another about Halloween, the paranormal or whatever. I’ll leave it up through Halloween and see what the response is like. If you guys enjoy it, then I’ll keep it as a permanent feature and move it into its own section of the site.

If you’re going to participate, there’s only two things I ask – please respect one another and never share personal information. I won’t be online to constantly moderate the conversations and can’t be responsible for any interactions, but if anyone witnesses things getting out of control, just drop me a line.
