Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Well, the Psalms date back to the life of David, which I think was the 900s BC. A long time ago to us; but certainly within historuc times, when lifespans were more like ours. I recall a discussion about lifespans I once had with a classics prof at Vanderbilt. He said Plato died on his 81rst birthda...

Well, y'all have had a pretty eventful summer. I'm not aware that my daughter intends to go out on Halloween, though perhaps she will. Often we all costume just to hand out the candy. When my Chicago son was still living in Ohio, he was close friends with a family that included him in ToT activities...

Yes, and even so he died before his father (grandfather?), who I think was Enoch. One of those riddles I recall from way back. I went to a religious college that required everyone to pass courses in Old and New Testaments before they graduated. Our OT prof said that some people think the ancient Jew...

Oh my gosh, my daughter is 28 and would buy those in a heartbeat, I think. She is the world's #1 Scooby-Doo fan, has every single episode and movie on dvd, and pulls them out, too. She's been fashioning a Daphne costume for Halloween most of this year. She would LOVE those sets.

All the special interest mags are sometimes guilty of reprinting previous issues. You have to look carefully. I think they do have to say something like "Reprinted by popular demand," but it's not always obvious.

Well, I have promised my children to live to 120, since I think somewhere in the Bible it says that's possible. But I don't think 121 is permitted.

At the rate my kids are going, I think I may need to live to 120 if I'm ever to see grandchildren.

I've definitely seen Hocus Pocus at Spirit. Of course, Spirit is a little rich for my blood, too, but I love browsing there.

I get it. Lovely summer weather is not conducive to Halloween feels.

Those are adorable. And of course Disney licensed products are sky-high.

I skimmed through the home decor. I saw a lot of Haunted Mansion and some NBC, but no Hocus Pocus.

That's really cute. I never saw that before.

And, yes, I recall 1975 quite vividly. I was 20 years old, and it was the year I left home. Weird how looking back over all those eventful years, a half century doesn't feel as long as it does when you're looking ahead.

Those are cute! I haven't noticed them around here yet.

Lol. Andy, I think of you every time I hear that line!

Today I put on Grimm.

Well, I started early with my Halloween movie viewing. I watched Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, always my kick off to the season. I tried to hold back, but I was weak.

I'm glad there are no rules about burying pets around here, because we actually have an informal pet cemetery in our backyard. Too bad you had to do that sad chore in the dark. That's wild, about the crazy guy in your store. Thank goodness it was no more serious than it was. I think you handled it v...

Ok
