Hazel-Rah's Halloween 8: The Return of the Mix-Tape
The Moon glooms behind a ragged curtain of clouds
Oranges and reds of fiery Fall leaves litter the ground
The Turning of the year as Summer ends and the cold of Winter begins is upon us.
Trick or treat?
Remember when this wasn’t just a catchphrase but posed as an actual question? Where One..... had a chance of delivering a sweet.....
or suffering the consequences.
So, to avoid my rabbit ears from being toilet papered in the dead of night I offer you my horrifying tradition of collected ghoulish goodies.
Slip on this spooky selection as you watch the shadows dance on bare walls.
Emerging from the flickering flame oozing hot wax inside your pumpkins gaping mouth
Until that candle’s final flicker
Blown out by wandering spirits on their midnight errands .
