Vexatious Foe

Do you know where the monsters hide?

Do  you know where they plan and plot and dream?

You probably should know, wouldn’t it make your heart beat a little slower then it’s beating right now?

Wouldn’t that make you feel better?

Monsters been known to entomb themselves in dimly lit  basements with painted concrete floors  and  dusty spider webbed attics that smell like mothballs and dead mice  and under beds where you should be safe and warm.

Vexatious,  duplicitous, guileful

getting what they want, taking what they desire, terrorizing the weak of heart

 is not sport to them

it’s a puzzle to be worked

slowly.

Do you know where the monsters hide?

Lean a little closer, let me put my lips to your ear

I’d be glad to tell you

it’s the most humane thing  I can do.

 

Knock Knock- Who’s There?

I was about 12 years old when ” Don’t Fear The Reaper ” was released by Blue Oyster Cult. It’s one of my favorite songs because it was spooky and dark and call me morbid but I thought the character ( the guy singing the song to the girl ) was going to meet a bad end.

I wasn’t exactly busted up by that because I was a little weirdo even back then.

Anyway. I bring this up in this post  because I’m harvesting ideas for my Halloween posts this October.

I was surfing around on youtube ( I could say I was doing research but I’m not writing fiction here so I’m not going to snow you ) when I came across this video by Lost In Vegas . Lost In Vegas are George and Ryan. They have  a fun channel at youtube where the do reactions to music videos.

This  is their take on the The Reaper.

First of all they get it. They got the music, they got the story and they had fun with figuring it all out.

Second, I really enjoyed watching them ‘discover’ a song that has been there in my life for over 40 years. It gave me a new appreciation for classic song

If you know the Reaper, give this a listen. If you don’t- give it a listen. You’ll learn something new.

Don’t fear The Reaper- watch out for that dog though. He’s sketchy.

Strange Finds

There’s an abundance of the odd and macabre on the internet- there are probably other things too but its  one big echo chamber and if you really want to have fun closing your eyes and playing  point and click is the way to go.

Anyway.

Here are a few things that I found a bit curious with some small effort and not a thought in my head.

This is a coffin. Not for a dog- it’s for a human and I think it’s BRILLIANT.

Coffin by Joseph Ashong (better known as Paa Joe)

This is a great work of art- and I liked the price ( sly wink )

I’m not sure which I like more- the black cookie or the rusty spoons that are suggested as a place setting.

Black Macarons- Recipe HERE

That’s what I’ve dug up over a few days and I am sure there is more out there to find.

Wish me luck!
