Spook-tastic



It’s that time of year again, with goblins & ghosts & ghoulies popping out of the woodwork. Last year, Geoffrey picked up this obnoxious toy - a skull covered in ivy with dying leaves, peat moss, and four creepy-looking black silk flowers sticking out of the top. When you push the button (or set it to motion-detection, and then wave anything in front of it), red lights appear in the skull’s eye sockets, and it starts playing the somber tones of “Chopin’s Funeral March.” For a few moments, anyway - then a hip-hop version of that tune starts up, and the freaking flowers on the top of the skull spin & bounce, as if they’re dancing. It scares the hell out of the cats.



What is your favorite spooky music, whether Halloween-related or not? I love Elton John's Funeral for a Friend. It starts out very slow with the organ playing and then the songs totally rocks out.
