Day 19: How to Speak Zombie #CountdowntoHalloween2025

Hi, my favorite spooks! Today I came across the perfect guidebook on how to speak to zombies. It is probably a good thing to have in these times. ha!

Check out my review and enjoy a good song.

Day 13: OM GHOURD...Am I behind!

Wow, ya all. It is already October 13th and I have been MIA. I simply got caught up in some spider web and have not posted. What boo sheet is that? Ugh. 

Anyway, for your listening pleasure, I though a little brain song in ASL would help. 

BRAINS...

Uh, oh, I hear zombies. I will be better, I promise! ~Crypt Keeper, Michelle

The Crypt Is Open and the Zombies Are Walking Among Us #CountdowntoHalloween2023

Hey! Welcome to my crypt. This is where zombies and all sorts of creatures hang out and have fun. You never know who or what is going to show up here so, come back often.

I am 4 days late getting the crypt open for the 2023 season. Ugh! However, that only means twice the fun. Ey?

Ok, so it is Wednesday and I thought we should have a Wednesday dance party. Makes sense right?

Let's go!

The whole family gets in the groove. Check out Thing!

Lurch, he had to take dance lessons but look at that smooth dancer.

See you tomorrow!

Day 11: Did You Know? Fun Facts Part 1: #Zombies

My photo from Denver, CO copyrighted

For the next few days I am presenting to you some facts that I have found around the blogsphere. I am going to start with (of course)...

ZOMBIES:

Zombies may have the trademark zombie limp because their bodies are affected by the same decomposition process as any normal corpse. Additionally, rigor mortis would cause serious tissue and muscle damage at the zombie’s each step. Since zombies do not regenerate or heal, any damage is permanent. Eventually, a zombies’ top speed would be reduced to a crawl and perhaps even slow to the point where it could not move. ~Source: www.factretriever.com/zombie-facts

Bonus : There is a law in Haiti that makes it a crime to turn someone into a zombie. Article 249 states that if someone drugs another person, buries him as though he were dead, and then digs the person up and brings him back to life, it is still considered murder. Wow, good to know!

Day 10: Monday's #Music Moves Me...#ghost #zombies

Hello, and welcome back to Monday's Music Moves Me. This was an original brainchild of Marie Moody aka Xmas Dolly. It is now hosted by Cathy from Curious As A Cathy, Stacy from Stacy Uncorked, and Alana. I used to be a co-host too but it has been a long time.

Anyway, there is always something to dance and sing about here so come on in and join the fun. This week is sans theme which means I get to post whatever music is on my mind. Since, I like brains, this might be a lot or a little. I don't know. So, let's see what I've got.

First up: Most people know Michael Jackson for his Halloween song, "Thriller" but people do not know as much about this spooky one too.

Next up: I posted this on my Facebook fan page (shameless plug for my page, uh hmm) the other day but did not post it here. I would be amiss if I did not post these fun zombies dancing the "Thriller" dance! (Note: This is a TikTok video)

The Mombies

Finally: To round out todays selections, I give you what all zombies must dance too.

WAIT! What do we have here? Could it be a Halloween Treat bonus?

I came across this group on Asia's Got Talent (AGT too) their zombie group was fantastic and a bit disturbing. You've got to check them out!

I got such a kick out of the zombie dance yesterday that I went looking for more. It turns out I found a whole score of music! Listen to this. Can you feel the zombie movement?

Here is another funky zombie dance. Check this one out.

Associating with Zombies or Living In Colorado #zombies #myphotos

I used to associate with zombies. They really were not bad people, just misunderstood. After all, if you got a craving for something, wouldn't you want to eat?

I know, I know, they eat brains you say. Well, I was fortunate enough that they were pretty full when I was around them. I guess I got lucky!

Oh yeah, one time, I met the then governor of Colorado. He ended up running for President of the United States. Some say he was a zombie but I never believed them. 

Keeping it spooky.

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.

~Your Master Crypt Keeper, Michelle

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."

Day 29: #Zombies and My Fascination #music #halloween #CryptKeeper

This is a repost from another blog I own. This was originally posted in 2013. I have modified the post.

I, like others, have this fascination with zombies. I am in no mood to meet one and have them eat my brains or worse, have to kill one but still...fascination.
One of the most well known cult zombie movies is this one, Night of the Living Dead.

A band that apparently loves the movie decided to base a song from the movie. I love the beat of it.

The band is called: Sek and the tune Living Dead Beats!

I am not sure you have ever seen the Creepshow but I have a little bit. This song was featured on that show and I think it is a good one. This version is from The Rockin' Monsters and the tune is, Zombie Ate Her Brains!
