I had to work late tonight and I’m pretty beat. Even though it’s after two if the morning and Halloween is over, tonight for my six pack of photos and songs to go with them, I’m going to snap six Halloween-related photos as I walk home. Boo!Radley!

Okay, I started walking home and there was nothing, the streets were deserted. I think everyone started early and was home passed out. After about three blocks I hailed a cab and said, “Fuck it.” It was a horrible night at work and I just wanted to get home and drink a few thousand beers. So I didn’t get any photos, but here’s six scary images with songs to go along with them. Happy Hollow Weenie!

Welll, shake it up baby,
Twist and shout.

When you're strange,
Faces come out of the rain,
When you're strange,
No one remembers your name .

He will bring happiness in a pipe,
He'll ride away on his silver bike,
And apart from that,
He'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind.

Days when the rain and the sun are gone,
Black as night,
Agony's torn at my heart too long,
So afraid.

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!

We ain't got no friends,
Our troubles never end,
No Christmas cards to send,
Daddy likes men.

This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night.

Bonus Photos By Gidget!

Gidget had a pre-Halloween experience by visiting a cemetary with her son, Dyl. Here’s some photos from the trip (including a "Martin" headstone!) and you can read about the whole adventure here, at Gidget’s blog: “They’re Coming To Get You Dylan.” And don’t forget to listen to her on Woody Radio, where you can also catch “Boris's” show, The Secret Weapon.

Bonus Photo By Goggla!

Goggla sent in this frightening photo from last night in the East Village. A mutant strain of Cardboard Box Man is throwing down a reign of terror...aaaahhhh! (And check out her Ruby's videos here: Ruby's on The Gog Log.)
