Day 2 #Halloween Countdown: SPAM & Two Book Reviews

Picture credit to: Sergey Y

You know what is scary? SPAM! No, not the kind you eat, well I guess you would if you were a zombie. But no, the kind where someone has just taken over your comment section with completely stupid stuff. Just before I came to blog today, I had to delete an entire month of the same comment. SERIOUSLY ANNOYING! At least write something about Halloween. UGH! 

Anyway...

Today I am sharing my first two Halloween kid's reads. The links are as follows. If you want to see two cute ones to start out my reads, then these are them.

I'm Turning Green

The Good, The Bad, and The Spooky

Keep it spooky!

Day 9: Frankenstein Does Musicals #music #CountdowntoHalloween2021

As I finish up this week to all things Frankenstein and his monster, I came across a musical for Frankenstein. I didn't even know there was one. So, since there is, I became intrigued. I need tickets!

But I digress. This piece here shows the madness that Frankenstein was and his thought process to making his creation.

Since, I have already gone down this rabbit hole, I found yet another musical based off of the movie, "Young Frankenstein." This was only a presentation for an awards show in 2018 but oh...

Although this next piece is not a musical, I will leave you with this haunting  music that is the Monster himself. It is not so much as in words but you can almost feel the inner thoughts. A life given that was not asked for.

PS> I have also come across, this week, several depictions of Frankenstein's monster? What is your favorite?

Your Master Crypt Keeper, Michelle

Day 5 & 6: Frankenstein Is In The House #Frankensteinmusic #Svengoolie #movies

 

This past Saturday, I was watching Svengoolie who was hosting the movie, "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein."  First of all, I don't know about you but I like Svengoolie with his campy humor and the terrific old movies he shows. This one, in some ways, I think was miss labeled because they certainly met more than Frankenstein's monster. However, they were in Dr. Frankenstein's house so, I can let it go.

Anyway, today I am posting things about Frankenstein's monster for the rest of the week. He like other monster meet up at Zombie Crossings and is welcome here. 

Since, I mentioned that I have been reading the book, " Graveyard Groove", I thought today I would just share some Frankenstein music. 

Side Note: This post is serving for days 5 & 6 because I am headed off today to spook a house. I will be gone through the 14th but will have pre-postings for your delight. ~Michelle, MCC

Let's go to his house first:

Apparently, he likes to have parties. Are you going?

He knows how to dance too. He's got his own moves!

Day 4: A Little #Zombie # Humor & Music #CountdowntoHalloween2021 #zombiemusic

My photo: please credit me to use.

When you are a zombie, you have to have a little humor in your undead life. I mean, "zombies are people too!" 

I found these cartoons to tell it like it is. These are not mine. All credit goes to the creators. 

Also, another song for zombies.

Day 2-3 Music Moment: Do the Zombie #zombies #CountdowntoHalloween2021 #zombiemusic

Welcome to day 2/3. As this is the place to find the zombies, it is fitting that I should have some music for them. Right? These three songs I have never heard before. They are great and for sure Halloween Dance Party! They have invited other monsters and ghouls to this page so, be sure to come back for more music and fun throughout October.

Another version

This one is truly different.

 

It's Time! The Zombies and Others Are Loose! #CryptOpen #CountdowntoHalloween2021

 It is time! October 1st has arrived and that means the zombies and other creatures that roam are on the loose. If you have been following me for the last couple of years, you know that I am one of two Master Crypt Keepers who runs the Countdown To Halloween Blog. If you are just finding me and want to join the multitude of bloggers who blog everything Halloween, then sign up. You only have until October 3rd though, so hurry!

So, this blog...

Well, this month, as the crypts are open here, I will be posting a multitude of things. I thought at first I would  post monster music exclusively, but now have decided against that mostly. However, I have been reading this fantastic book from this guy who goes by Captain October. His book, "Grave Yard Groove: outlines the first beginnings of Monster Music to the present. He lists a ton of music, some of which I will indeed share here. By the way, I will be reviewing that book on my reading blog and other books HERE

Other things you will see here this month is fun cartoons, memes, and plain ole Halloween fun. My friend, Scardy Cat aka Stephanie may drop by on occasion as she has the past couple of years. I can't be sure because this year she had another little monster of her own. If not, I will be sharing some of her costume artistry as well.

Hope you have fun!

October 12th #CountdowntoHalloween2020...Monday's Music Moves Me.

It is Monday's Music Moves Me time. This week is a theme and it works oh, so perfect for me and my ongoing Halloween theme.  

This week's co-hostess is Mary from Jingle Jangle Jungle  She says this for the theme: " Oct 12th  As it’s Roctober – Choose a decade and build a playlist of rock songs from that period." 

Well, this girl is straight out of the 1980's and loves the music. Usually you would not think of the '80s having Halloween music but it does!  Enjoy my list!

Master Crypt Keeper, Michelle

First up: Nothing like having a Dead Man's Party with Oingo Boingo

Next up: I would be amiss if I did not pay homage to the zombies on this page. Here they dance with the Cramps.

Next up: The Golden Earring's introduced us to "The Twilight Zone." (I think we have not left!)

Finally: One of the most known for the 1980's is that wolfman himself, Michael Jackson. He made me stay up to Midnight to see his video and it was worth the "Thriller."

Scardy Cat's Looks

 Hello all-

Scardy Cat was supposed to come screeching in and show some of her fantastic Halloween looks. I am here to show you a few from the last two weeks. She really does an amazing job.

Master Creep Keeper,

Michelle

 As one of the Master Crypt Keepers this year, I was interviewed by a fellow blogger, Dex. Check it out. You can also see here some of "Scardy Cat" aka Stephanie​'s marvelous make up!

Halloween Interview

Also, since it is Monday, I am playing along with those friends of mine who are music lovers (as I am too.) This week is freebie week which means I get to choose whatever. So, of course being Halloween month, guess what I am choosing?!

First up: I have to go with Mr. Blue Eyes in Witchcraft   

Next up: I love this version of "I'll Put A Spell On You" with Nina Simone. 

Finally: From Fleetwood Mac, "Sisters of the Moon"

Your Master Crypt Keeper,

Michelle

It's here! YAY!!!!! #CountdowntoHalloween
