When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

Now don’t close your eyes,
And don’t try to hide.
Or a silly spook may sit by your side.
Shrouded in a daft disguise,
They pretend to terrorize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

As the moon climbs high o’er the dead oak tree,
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes,
Start to shriek and harmonize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell,
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.
Restless bones etherialize,
Rise as spooks of every size.

If you would like to join our jamboree,
There’s a simple rule that’s compulsory. Mortals pay a token fee.
Rest in peace, the haunting’s free.
So hurry back, we would like your company.

I was feeling a little Meh yesterday, the usual kinds of meh that this season brings. But the Brides The Band EP release cured that. Also: seeing Shauna, Peter, Shiva, The Space Crew, meeting Lavender, and hanging out in general was the cure I needed. Thanks for the excellent night! Happy Birthday Jocelyn!

Our final Ghost Stories Show is this Friday, and we already have a number of calls already scheduled. If you want to guarantee that you get on the air, please contact me soon! No call will go unanswered, but we may have to make one or two of them Podcast only. Do you have a supernatural or paranormal experience that you want to talk about on the radio? This is your chance!

This is a goofy, often funny and overly-dramatic war film that uses a cookie-cutter plot where a newspaper man tries to take down an organization, and almost pays the ultimate price. The twist: the organization is the Nazi Party, and the newspaper man is an American working in Germany. It’s weird to see so many swastikas and fake accents, but on the whole it’s a lot of fun. And, strangely relevant given the current political climate.

When this show came on TV in the Fall of 1986, I was hooked. A huge fan of the movie from a couple years earlier, I was initially annoyed that Jeff Bridges wasn’t on. But by the time it finished it’s run in the Spring of 1987 this show was what I remembered the most. Strangely, my own parents divorce (and the life-stuff of that era) caused me to forgot it entirely as I discovered girls, and as new & shiner things occupied my attention. I was reminded of this show again when I went down a John Carpenter Rabbit Hole, and suddenly, I was 11 again, watching TV obsessively, living out some Science Fiction story in my own head, where I was the child of an alien, and the problems of everyday life seemed to drop away by comparison.

While it hasn’t happened yet, I want to get on the Fred Cole love fest, and say that the several Dead Moon shows I got to see back in the day meant the world to me. I’m so sorry the Cole family has to go through this, and Toody in particular, who must be the strongest partner around to be able to keep a sane head while this is happening. Dead Moon means the world to me, and it’s certainly going to be a less groovy world in the future. But right now: let’s celebrate so loud Fred can’t help be hear how much we love him. Dead Moon Forever!

Holy Cow! This is tonight! Co-Hosted by Kylie Burbank, who will be offering her own music and stories as well, we’ll be taking calls from people with genuine ghost stories, AND hearing live performances from Lavender and Marc Kate! This is going to be an action-packed show, and you really should tune in, and share your ghost stories! All part of our Halloween Spook-tacular, 2017!
