DEMENTIA 13! (2012 EDITION) #7: VAMPIRE TWANG

Continuing our music countdown to Halloween, we haven’t mentioned vampires yet. 

And interestingly, one of my favorite vampire songs doesn’t mention vampires at all.

It’s an instrumental, you see. Produced by Joe Meek, yet.

FUN FACT: The footage in the video is not from a vampire film, or even a horror movie. It’s from The Last Laugh, a silent film from FW Murnau (of Nosferatu fame, so okay, there's sort of a vampire connection here) and one of the biggest films of the German Expressionist movement in the 1920s. It’s about a doorman at a posh hotel who gets demoted to lavatory attendant, and he lives in dread of everyone finding out the truth. Which they do.

I knew that film history class I took at grad school would pay off one day.

Don’t tell a soul,

DEMENTIA 13! (2012 EDITION) #8: VOODOO RAYGUNS ARE NOT JUST THE FUTURE

I’m behind schedule in this series, so you get two posts today. 

It’s five days til Halloween. Perhaps yr still in need of a Halloween costume idea.

Well, Elvis is dead, so that makes him a perfect Halloween costume if you do it right. You can even form a rock band of dead Elvises (or Elvi, if that’s the proper plural form). With voodoo rayguns.

Like this.

Thankyouverymuch,
