Five years ago a filmmaker set out to make a film.
Bad things happened.
The movie was never finished.
Many believe the film to be cursed.
The filmmaker wrote a book about his exploits.

HORROR THROUGH THE HALLOWDAYS
No. I did not flunk English in school. Hallowdays is my play on words. It's also the central concept for my horror through the holidays campaign. From Halloween through Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas and New Years, I will promote the novel thus.
Because, as many people don't know, Halloween is not just some dumb holiday made up so kids could dress up in costumes and run around begging for candy.
Halloween used to be All Hallows Eve.
You see, when the Catholic Church wanted to convert the people away from the pagan religions they had grown up with, they changed the meaning of All Hallows' Eve (as well as many other pagan holidays).
In its earlier incantation, All Hallows' Eve consisted of harvest festivals and celebrations of the dead. It was a night when the doorway to our world was believed to be opened to ghosts and demons. People would dress their children up in costumes to confuse the spirits, so they wouldn't steal their children and take them back with them to the land of the dead.
Cool, huh.
But Halloween is past and it's now time for turkey and drumsticks. Later, I'll explore the dark side of the Thanksgiving holiday (because everything has a dark side).
Below is my GIF to you from the unfinished film.
