Third from the top (the preceding two must be typos). A nice Halloween present! Anyway, the plan for Friday this week is a game of Dread at my house (in Mound) where a roaring fire will be prepared, various pumpkin treats, and David will be bringing his bottle of Surley Darkness. Costumes encouraged! If there are any questions, please contact me! See you later.

Call of Cthulhu - Walker in the Wastes

I'm going to be starting the Pagan Publishing campaign "Walker in the Wastes" soon (like Saturday?) for something to do on Saturday afternoons. I'll be using the standard Call of Cthulhu rules, so character creation is a breeze, and I'll have player packets available when we start for investigator ideas.

The hook for the campaign is all investigators are members of a two-year expedition to the farthest reaches of Canada, in part to study the people and nature of the area and in part to find out what happened to a previous expedition that disappeared in 1848.

Really I just need 2 players, but the more the merrier. So give a shout out if you're interested. I'll also be putting the feelers out closer to the weekend to see what peoples' plans are.

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu f'thagn!

Horror Movies in the Garage Theater

It's that time of year, when the air gets chilly, the sun goes down earlier, and the wind howls a mournful cry across the landscape. It's fall, or close enough regardless, and that means Halloween is approaching. And that means horror movies. And that means ... well, it means what it means.

Now that I've got the Theater in the Garage setup (need more seats, but that's easy to get) I think it's time to start planning some Garage Theater Nights. Maybe Friday nights, maybe Sunday nights, maybe whenever. Two movies a night, get some popcorn and other treats, and watch some horror movies on the big(ish) screen.

Movies in my collection that fit into this category nicely:

Cabin Fever
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2
Dawn of the Dead (old and new)
Night of the Living Dead
The Thing
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Cannibal Holocaust (just kidding ...)
Frankenstein (original Karloff)
The Mummy (original Karloff)

Those are the ones that come to mind right now. But the point is I think I'm going to post a schedule and have a midnight movie showing Fridays (maybe Saturdays). Watch for it!
