Goodbye, October!
Hello, November!
I couldn’t resist saying a final goodbye to Halloween with just one more clip from my favorite holiday special, It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I hope everyone had a good October and has an even better November!
Another Halloween has come and gone!
Here’s hoping that everyone had a great one, that everyone got what they wanted from the Great Pumpkin, and nobody came home with a bag full of rocks!
Happy Halloween from the Shattered Lens!

Halloween City by Karl Pfieffer
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
