THIS DAY, ANYTHING GOES!

They were so awesome live, could barely play their songs, so great!

Wolfgang was like 16 when he joined I think.

You know what I realized about the Misfits recently? They frequently used the 3/4 time signature in a lot of their tracks. Pretty cool. Not something mindblowing, but it explains why they sound a lot different than other punk bands.

Oh, that and the custom made guitars.

And the melodic vocals.

And the amazing songwriting.

Just an awesome band... even though they probably did use that "DUN DUN" stop/start thing in a few too many songs (I don't know what else to call it... for an example, see after the 2nd chorus of "Hollywood Babylon").

Is that it? I dont know, its hard to listen to them anymore.
Your thoroughness is touching though, as always.

I watched Trick r Treat recently. It's pretty nice to have a fable-y halloween tale kind of movie get made. That bus scene was awesome.

Halloween USA style is probably just dead while the GFC fizzles. It'll be back in a few years when people have more money to blow on candy and fake blood and glitter.

atsonicpark · 10.23.2009, 01:42 AM

The real Halloween will happen New Year's Eve, 2012. We're going to see REAL devils and shit!

...or not. Who knows. Probably not. Y2K, remember?

alteredcourse · 10.23.2009, 01:50 AM

Y2K is gonna be so awesome.

phoenix · 10.23.2009, 01:55 AM

NYE is a couple weeks too late is it not?

whatever. I'm on the other side of the planet, it's beltane and sexytimes, not so much death and new year.

Silent Dan Speaks · 10.23.2009, 02:47 AM

I hope it isn't dead; it's my favorite holiday.

SONIC GAIL · 10.23.2009, 09:05 AM

Depending on the neighborhood, Halloween still seems to be thriving down here. I always take my kids to trick or treat. It is the one time of the year that people open thier door to strangers and give them stuff. People don't even do this on Christmas.

I used to know someone who was raide3d Pentecostal and they believed that it was a sin to celebrate Halloween whereas the Catholics actually reguard it as a christian holiday. So the non Halloweeners throw "Fall Festivals" on the night of 10/31...but in reality is'nt it the same thing that simply has another name? I find this odd.

We used to have about 500 kids coming to out house, but I think last year we had about 100 or so. A drastic drop.

It's rather unfortunate, really, cause Halloween is a good fucking time.

I don't see why parents should be afraid of Halloween. Unless you're one of those crazy god motherfuckers who hates anything fun and "sinful"

Halloween dead!?!?!?!?!?!? Not if Glenn has anything to say about it.
I love Halloween though. Looking to rip it up real good this year.

kierkegaarden · 10.23.2009, 08:27 PM

sales in the halloween sector are at a record high this year, so the death of halloween can hardly be established

gmku · 10.27.2009, 11:23 AM

This year for the first time in decades I may be going to a Halloween party. Of sorts. There's a bash at my fave local brew pub and they're showing a movie outdoors. I belong to a local beer meet-up group and we've planned on meeting there for this thing.

Beats sitting at home and passing out razor-apples to neighborhood kids.

Rob Instigator · 10.27.2009, 11:27 AM

love outdoors movies

saw Good Bad & The Ugly projected onto the side of a garage at a party once. KICK ASS
