6 Days Til Halloween
by Erin Nicole
“We ask only to be reassured
About the noises in the cellar
And the window that should not have been open.”
— T.S. Eliot (The Family Reunion)

Artwork of the Day: Bloody Birthday (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from 1981. To me, it looks like the worst birthday cake ever. Someone already blew out on the candles.
Artwork of the Day: Blood of Ghastly Horror (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from 1972. The horror sure look ghastly.
Artwork of the Day: Land of the Minotaur (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from 1976. Did you know that minotaurs can breathe fire? I like the half-naked couple that just happens to be at the front of the crowd. This movie knew how to appeal to an audience.
Artwork of the Day: Sheba (Artist Unknown)
I like the cat.
Artwork of the Day: Attack of the Beast Creatures (Artist Unknown)
I’m going to ask the obvious question here. What the Hell is a beast creature and how is it different from a regular beast or a regular creature? It’s hard to tell from the poster but I think it’s going to take more than a pitchfork to hold back these things, whatever they are.
This is from 1985. The identity of the artist is unknown. If you are the artist or know who the artist was, leave a comment and let us know!
