Undead James Madison?

Kudos to Khajiit for digging this up and dusting it off for this year!

Oh, make no mistake, it was this one's pleasure!

Haha, sadly I have no means for such a thing.

yeah, the clothing might be difficult. Otherwise, clever use of common grease paints can get you the undead effects.

Pure poetry

Thank you *bows*
Khajiit loves October!

Loved your RE LP last year, Reaper. Thank goodness you did it then and not now when I have to waste my life away with work.

Thanks---I have to say that's the first time I did a perfect Chris Run in RE, normally I'd use Jill since her path is easy .

Anyone here have any tips for alternative Jack o'lantern lights? Khajiit usually uses a votive candle but likes the idea of being able to have a sealed lantern that can still light up with out having to worry about no air getting to the flame and snuffing it.

Ooh! Here's a spooky October Felix the Cat cartoon from 1927!

Der Erlkonig (Schubert)

That cartoon is legit creepy. So did the little girl die in it?

Yes, and no. It was a boy, not a girl.

A ghastley mentions, the child dies. Turn on captions and you'll see an English translation of words. I'll seen better translations, more poetic. This the one provided gives you one basics.

Though already posted in another thread, I'll again link Natalie Stutzmann's rendition of Franz Schubert's song "Death and the Maiden", which somewhat fits this thread's theme.

"Vincent," a short animation by Tim Burton suitable for this thread's theme. Spooky in a "cute" sort of way.

Speaking of Tim Burton films:
Khajiit is watching Sleepy Hollow! This one always tries to watch it in October.

Well, I did just finish Clive Barker's Undying and now I finally restarted System Shock 2 after not playing it for so long. The spookiness is afoot!

Khajiit has been toying with the idea of trying to play BioShock again on PC. Game is suitably creepy but the very first cutscene in Rapture with the two splicers commenting on your semi-conscious body glitched and this really irritated this one since it was supposed to be the "Remastered" version.

Ooh! May even play the masquerade mission in Dishonored for old times sake.

Khajiit should! It's an awesome game, don't let that glitch stop you!


If I had let glitches stop me, I wouldn't have over 2500 hours of Oblivion gameplay now. Well, it wasn't a glitch I experienced when I started to play, but PC limitations...

Has anyone here ever watched the tv show Salem? It's silly at times, but delightfully spooky at others.

Cain has never been spookier!

Spooky.

So tomorrow is the big day. Halloween. Man, Khajiit can hardly believe October has flown by so fast! Anybody here have any plans for Halloween or did you do something special this October that was really fun?

<scratches head> No, can't think of anything special I did during October that qualifies as "really fun." No plans of any sort for Halloween either. An old stick in the mud, that's me.

Well Khajiit will be at work so don't feel too bad. Lol

Happy Halloween from a loathsome Nosferatu!

Pic 2 (total darkness)

*scratches chin*


-Koochi-koochi-koochi-kooo!

Needs a vector version if you're going to blow it up that large. It's got bad jaggies.

Tis how I found it on the Google image machine.

Spooky Cain is spooky.

Music appropriate for the occasion. The final movement of Hector Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique", translated as "Dream of a Sabbath Night" or sometimes "Witches Sabbath."

It is come.

The spoopyness spookiness is afoot once more.

Speaking of spookiness, who else is following the progress of the Resident Evil 2 Remake? I sure am intrigued by it. The Resident Evil franchise and I have a bit of a history, going back to when I witnessed the original one at 5 or 6 years old and being absolutely terrified. It's hilarious to look back on now, but it seemed so real then. Cool to see a 20-year old game be made brand-new. The series has come quite a long way. Funny enough, though, I have played very little of the series. RE4 and REmake are the only 2 games in the series that I have beaten, with RE4 taking up the vast majority of my playtime in the series, and I have played very little of the other titles.

I wonder if Boo will make a return as Kane's avatar?


I hope so

Khajiit never got into those games. Back then he wasn’t interested in horror games, but now that he’s older he probably would have checked them out. When Reaps did his LP of Resident Evil Remastered, it definitely looked like something this one would be interested in now.


Only time will tell.

Spooktober!

*points at Kane*


-Give us the return of Boo!


THE PEOPLE HAS SPOKEEEEEEN!

When corvids talk, it’s wise to listen.

You know what someone needs to do? Someone needs to rip the file of the skeleton scream from Daggerfall so that they could play it on a speaker. And then play it either when 1) Trick-or-Treaters come to their door, or 2) when they go up someone's door for candy. (Preferably b since I wouldn't want to legitimately scare little kids, but it would still be kind of funny.)

When Khajiit was a kid, we had a little sensor mat that connected to a speaker. When someone stepped on the mat, a scream sound effect would play from the speaker. We would hide it under our normal welcome mat so that when trick or treaters came around they would get a little start! When we first got it, one night mom was reading a scary book before bed. When she got to a stopping place, she went out to snuff the jack-o-lantern and forgot about the mat being there.

This year’s sacrificial victim

Going to post some Jack-o_lanterns from Halloween’s past, since we are on the topic.

2013: Wailing ghost

2014: Medusa- really regret that this one was unfinished. Khajiit got really tired and left the snakes in a really rough state. This one thought the face itself turned out really good.

2015: Screaming Skull

2016: Masque of the Red Death- this one was inspired by E.A.Poe’s story The Masque of the Red Death. The skull is wearing a masquerade mask.

2017: Count Orlok (Nosferatu)- inspired by the vampire, Count Orlok, from the classic silent horror film Nosferatu.
