Halloween
« on: September 10, 2019, 04:53:16 AM »
With the evening of ghosties and goblins approaching, thought a thread on Halloween might be fun.
To start off, here is Vincent Price reading Graveyard Tales.

“Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don’t find out until too late that he’s been playing with two queens all along”.  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Agree. Much better than Pee Wee Herman. But, if you were sitting in a dark movie theater, who would be scarier to sit next to, Pee Wee or Vince?  :hide:

Why has no one released a compilation of Florida Halloween stories?

Oh well, Vincent has lots of stuff.

Creepypasta time!

One of my Youtube acquaintances (we've spoken a few times) has an interesting story to tell about a haunted office building, back when he was a security guard. All together the videos take about an hour.

Pratt if I watch the above videos am I opening myself up to something...terrible?

I am terrified and very curious about demonology simultaneously.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.
