Janet has a new site for Friday Fill-Ins so I, of course, have to initiate it and (since it’s about October) bless it with this ghostly apparition………

1. October is a blessing after a long, sticky summer!

2. The dark doesn’t/don’t scare me! (It only took 30 years to conquer that fear!)
3. Haunted houses really exist.
4. My favorite scary movie is The Shining because it’s psychologically scary, has a good plot, it’s believable and Jack Nicholson is perfect in the role.
5. Shock and surprise me.
6. It was a dark and stormy night and I listened to the whip of the wind and the patter of the rain, all cozy and warm in my bed.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to music and drinks and maybe a late night viewing of The Shining, tomorrow my plans include a walk on the levee and Sunday, I want to meet my friends at the St. Cletus fair!


And now, here’s Flashback Friday after all since I’m kinda, sorta in the Halloween mood tonight. This is a vintage live performance of Alice Cooper doing Welcome to my Nightmare……back in the day Alice was tres’ unique, really pushing the parental unit’s buttons with his grisly on-stage performances and dark lyrics. I remember playing the LP Billion Dollar Babies ad nauseum and can still sing all the lyrics to all the songs on it.

Nowadays, it’s just high camp!
