- Well, it's October and- in most countries at least- some form of
- Halloween is nearly upon us (my personal favorite day of the year). I've
- always found it a day to celebrate so why not pass my joy around.
- {p} {p}
- In other words, it's theme-day again (any flimsey excuse). All the sites
- this month are dedicated to Halloween, horror, and similar likes. So
- strap on those vampire teeth, break that skeleton out of the closet, and
- have fun.

- Here we have Halloween how-to. You want to make up a Proper haunted
- house in your yard? well Bob here has it all planned out for you. An
- entire yard designed into one big Halloween creepy, he's broken it all
- up into individual segments. From crypts to floating ghosts to a
- Mausoleum, there are designs, plans, and construction details for how to
- make it all, with individual pictures of each finished product.

- Vampires, they're everywhere, hiding amongst us, engaging in their
- secret mascarade. But forewarned is forearmed. So slip into this site to
- get all you need to want to know about the legends of the vampires, the
- make up of their clans, and the game which some say might be more than
- fiction.

- Another props page, dozens of Halloween props and step by step
- instructions on how to make them. But if that's too much work for you,
- and if you live in the New York area, they'll make it for you then
- bill you and ship it to you. I think those Horror Ribs could come in
- real useful.

- a whole site just devoted to one of the old masters of horror films,
- complete with descriptions of all his films, his endless television

- Ever wonder where all those dark and creepy things go? Where Satan
- lives, or the aliens hide out? Well, just possibly they went to this
- site. An eclectic horror-themed site, it's doors await only for the
- brave to enter.
- {p} {p}
- First off, you can sell your soul. That's right, send in an email
- asking what you want, and it and a reply will be posted on the site,
- complete with the date your soul was sold. Of course, I can't say that
- your request will Actually come true, but it's a fun stop nonetheless.

- See the list of horror-themed alchoholic beverages. Recipies for actual
- drinks, but with names like Alien Urine Sample, Red Death, Brain
- Hemmorage, and the ever popular Zombie. Should add some life to those
- Halloween parties.
- {p} {p}
- You've seen the movies, but have you seen THESE versions of those
- films? Cartoons and animations themed on films from Of Mice And Men to
- Independence Day, though never like you've seen them.
- {p} {p}
- Then you can relax to a nice calming midi tune- if you think moody
- Disney Haunted House type stuff is relaxing, that is. Just the tunes to
- get you in the mood.
- {p} {p}
- There's also an on-going story, started by the site creator and added to
- by reader submissions. If you think you have a good enough chapter to
- add then write it up and send it in and it just might get added in.
- {p} {p}
- No good horror site is complete without monsters, and here's plenty of
- them. Picture galleries of creatures clipped from all your favorite old
- movies. From an assortment of aliens to Dracula, to the devil himself
- (the one out of Legends is always a classic), they're here waiting to be
- downloaded.
- {p} {p}
- Well, that's all for now. For myself, I've got my own haunted house to
- finish up...
