Snapchat’s filter turned me into a pale glittery corpse and do you know what?
I think this is a great look for me.

Brush With The Past
RDP Monday: BRUSH
Some of my ‘memories that pop up on my FB newsfeed are more satisfying brushes with the past then other. For instance,this came through from a Halloween group that I belong to and it was a memory for an album that my Dad broke out for us when we were little.
The album was five or six years old ( 1969-70) when he gave it to me- which was about 5 years after it’s release date. I’m not sure where he got it from, but there was a big build up for when he played it for the first time with us.
It was the day before Halloween.
After we had finished dinner, instead of turning the tv on, Dad lit a fire in the fire place and told us to come in. Me and my brother and little sister and our dog Blackie plopped ourselves in from of the stereo and for the first time ( but not last ) we heard a Halloween ambiance record.
I can’t tell you what it was like for my brother and sister, but it must have been intense because they got scared a few tracks in and ran into our playroom and slammed the door shut.
Me and Blackie sat there in front of the record player, while the night shadows raced around the living room driven into a frenzy, driven on by the flames in our fireplace and the crackling logs.
The pictures that came into my head with each track should have given me nightmares.
Instead when I went to sleep that night I’m pretty sure I had a smile on my face that stretched from ear to ear-just like the ones on our freshly carved Halloween Pumpkins downstairs.

It’s Alive!
For #100DAYSOFHALLOWEEN HAPPY– Frankenstein
In 1910, Edison Studios released the first motion-picture adaptation of Shelley’s story.
Henry Frankenstein: Look! It’s moving. It’s alive. It’s alive… It’s alive, it’s moving, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive!
Victor Moritz: Henry – In the name of God!
Henry Frankenstein: Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!”
– ‘Frankenstein’, 1931.

This post is a shout out to the writers and artists for bringing us these creatures, all of them fit to sit graveside with Frankenstein’s Monster- who named himself Adam but was called a ” Devil ” or a ” Fiend ” by his creator.
Our modern creatures have been treated a bit more kindly by their creators and THAT is a good thing.
Frankenstein Chapel- Frankenstein castle may have been an inspiration for Mary Shelley when she wrote her 1818 Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

Let Me Spell It Out

Pumpkin Empress-AI
She wished a wish from the depths of her heart
from the bottom of her Soul
no wish or prayer was ever so pure.
Of course her wish was granted, her prayer was heard
at least that what she thinks
from the jar where I keep her heart
on a shelf in my basement with my collection
of souls of anyone
who tried to use magic to bend me to their will.
