All Hallows Eve

So, for whatever reason, this year, I've decided that I'm hugely into Halloween.
For the past month, I've been raving about Halloween and Halloween-related-generally-scary-stuff! (Just ask Lindsay how much she's heard about Zombies in the past month...)
I've been especially interested in Zombies (hence my Gimp'd photo) and have been engaged in several Zombie related activities, such as baking zombie shaped, green-frostinged, sugar cookies (see how they like us eating them for a change!) I read (ok, audio-booked) a book called World War Z, which takes place in a post-zombie-apocalyptic world and is basically a series of accounts of survivors. It was rr'l rr'l good. Hmmmm, what else? Oh, I'm addicted to cinemassacre.com's Monster Madness Movie Review. *Note* The previous link is NOT for the faint of heart, nor for the easily offended... You have been warned. Anyways, James Rolfe (aka'd as the Angry Video Game Nerd) Reviews an old horror movie for every day of October, starting at the beginning of movies in general and working his way through the decades. LOVE IT! He's done it since 2007 and has reviewed something like 46 Horror Movies and 30 Godzilla movies in the course of the last three years. It's my new favorite thing. Of course, I can't really watch any of these scary movies given that I truly enjoy being able to sleep at night and don't want to do anything to jeopardize that (that is until I have my beautiful wife to protect me in bed! Less than 40 days! CRAZY!!!)
But yeah. Halloween is great. Oh, a bit a trivia, we've all heard the "All Hallows Eve" bit and how that's where Halloween is derived from, but where did the holiday come from? Well November 1 is All Hallows Day or All Saints Day, a day to celebrate all Saints, known and unknown. So the night before was All Hallows Eve... and that somehow got translated into the creepy non-Saint related Holiday of today. Crazy.

Anyways, I'm lovin' Halloween!
