It's not the dark we're afraid of, it's what we think
might be lurking in it that frightens us.

"It's Never Been About The Zombies"


A big Hollow shout-out to ScreamWriter for the tip on this great interview by the Chicago Tribune with the Godfather of zombie movies, Mr George Romero.

It's Never Been About The Zombies

George, if it's never been about the zombies, what HAS it been about? Reporters. Never ask the questions you really want answered.

Spotlight

I'd like to take this opportunity to shine the Hollow spotlight on an amazing collective of Halloween artists; SEHA, the Society of Eclectic Halloween Artists.

Twice now I've had the good fortune to win a handmade item from one of their artists. One is a themed bracelet of tiles, the other came just this morning. It's a Halloween tile, an image of an old fashioned witch and her cat on one side. A saying on the reverse, "old fashioned witches and black cats are seen on this festive night of Halloween". There's a small ring on it that can be attached to anything you like. Mine now has pride of place on my keyring!



Don't mind the rather fuzzy photo. I'm hoping this year the Great Pumpkin will bring me a replacement for my rather ancient digicam.

Please take the chance to hop on your broomstick and head over to the SEHA blog.

Talk About Horror Stories ......

.....it's Election Day here in the United Kingdom, not that I hold out much hope for any significant change when the hoopla settles. Things are in such a mess, it's going to take more than a career politician to get it right.

However, we sigh a great sigh, trudge to the polling station (you don't vote, you got no right to bitch about it later, as my late Dad used to say) and try to chose the lesser of what, about four evils? Freddy Kruger gives me nicer nightmares.

Personally, I'm up for changing the ballot to reflect the true spirit of the hard-pressed taxpayer;





See you on the flip side.
