So long as he didn't call "no copy-catters" on the standard Halloween setlist, I imagine we'll hear a lot of the usual suspects regardless of what the set is called. Although I'm anxious to hear what new twists AL puts on this old chestnut.

Thought I'd share this pic with you. POssibly the best Halloween house decorations ever:

Supposedly small children were afraid to approach because they thought the house would eat them.

ETA: Well, that didn't work. The blog page it came from is here:

easily my favorite SP character -- amazing how many different failed attempts they made to add a fifth character (Token, Tweek, etc) before stumbling upon Butters.

VHM Drew Barrymore...and I think we haven't heard the last of her in this set.

have to totally disagree with Mike, Blair Witch was over-rated, but Scream (the first) was excellent.  Wes Craven at the height of his powers, and Neve Campbell at the [irony]height[/irony] of hers (depending on how much of a voyeur you are when you watch Wild Things)*.

*I'm personally on the fence (& own both DVD's), but many hetero guys I've known have an extremely high opinion of Wild Things.

Sorry, I think Scream is nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is. It's no better than the bad movies it's trying to parody.

Blair Witch, OTOH, is absolutely godawful -- the ultimate overrated "the emperor has no clothes" Sundance discovery.

It was the only thing on telly in Dublin the other night. At least I learned all about the Italian occupation of Greece during WWII. And the subsequent German treatment of the Italian soldiers once Mussolini surrendered. And that John Hurt is a man of 1,000 faces. Not to mention Christian Bale!

courtesy of AMG:

The song was the band's first single, released in August 1979, and is often considered to be the first gothic rock record released.

The song is over nine minutes in length and was recorded "live in the studio" in a single take. David J, the band's bassist, claims on his website to have written the lyrics. By far their most famous work, its minimalist, free-form nature evoked a mixture of The Doors, early Pink Floyd and experimental 'Krautrock' bands such as Can and Neu. The singing does not start (in the studio version) until several minutes into the track. The dub-influenced guitar sound was achieved by using partial barre chords and allowing the top E and B strings open, adding to the drone-like quality of the song.

The title references horror film star Béla Lugosi (1882-1956), who did much to establish the modern vampire image as the title character in the 1931 film Dracula. (Lugosi was, in fact, buried in his Dracula cape - an event depicted in the film Ed Wood.

Just digging into my usual Sat. a.m. housework, and post replay I switched over to channel 840 (XM Deep Tracks) on my DirecTV.  The first song was actully pretty cool, but when I wandered over to see who it was, I was rather astonished.

It was, in fact, Andrew "Lonely Boy" Gold, doing "Halloween Party" one of the nine original Halloween songs on his record:

Never seen that album before but Philly Joe Jones played drums with the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid-50s, and was one of the preeminent bebop drummers of that time. He took the nickname "Philly Joe" to avoid confusion with another drummer named Jo Jones. Contrary to popular myth, however, he is not related to the *other* Jones family of jazz, Thad (trumpet), Hank (piano), and Elvin (drums).
