Death Stalks the Common

Last weekend the music video cast and crew for the song based on my book HIDDEN HISTORY OF SALEM was in Salem filming. Apparently someone called the police about the man who was playing Death in the video, telling the cops a "scary man" with "a real axe" was on Salem Common.

Here he is, relocated to the wharf, the scary dude and his real axe:

I feel your fear. 

I know if I assure you he's the sweetest fella in the world, you wouldn't believe me, right?

*sigh*

Caller, you waste police time. Salem, don't let me down like this again.

An Arachnophobe's Nightmare

More Halloween decorations in Salem Massachusetts.

Houston Says, We Have a Problem

Should Texas - a state intimately associated with space exploration - get none of the available Space Shuttles for its museum while New York City, a place with no NASA connections and no museum in which to place it yet, gets one? What do you think?

Fallout and Assassin's Creed (ish) Halloween Decor

Halloween decorations in Salem, MA.

The biohazard reminds me of Fallout.

And yes, that is a plague doctor in black behind the guy in the hazmat suit.

Salem Halloween Ferris Wheel

The carnival has returned to Salem Massachusetts. I love the witch on the ferris wheel.
It's all part of Salem's Haunted Happenings, which run the entire length of October.
