Halloween’s Haunted History

January 31st, 2010 by John Wolfe

Tonight’s entry follows Halloween’s history throughout the last several thousand years. From the ancient Celtic and Roman celebrations, to the more modern observances, like Day of the Dead and Guy Fawkes Night; this documentary does a great job of explaining Halloween’s historical evolution.

While the film is broken into five parts, I’ve only included the first two. Both of these primarily discuss Halloween’s pagan past — one of my favorite aspects about Halloween, historically speaking. For the remaining three parts, be sure and visit YT user, InfoWarriorNWOslayer’s page.

Headless Horseman Projection

January 29th, 2010 by John Wolfe

I knew there was a reason I liked Meijer grocery stores. After discovering their really cool Halloween commercial, I’ve now found their awesome headless horseman promotion event. Basically, a team rides around major cities projecting an animated image of the headless horseman, complete with his flaming jack-o-lantern, onto each city’s landmarks and buildings.

This 2008 headless horseman vid was made to look like the team’s involved in some sort of clandestine operation… very imaginative!

This 2009 installment was designed with a ’50s horror movie-like beginning and a SAW-like ending. At least I think that’s what they were going for at the end — I never saw “SAW.” :D
