It’s Monday. When it comes to Halloween, most people don’t generally associate aliens with spooky season. However, every now and then you’ll come across the little green men hiding among the more traditional characters. I found these guys (above) in someone’s yard in Naperville, Illinois. They looked very suspicious. Especially troubling was the barrel of of toxic green muck. I don’t know what shenanigans they were up to and I wasn’t going to stick around to find out.
I’ve been watching lots of horror movies and such throughout October. So far I’ve seen Sleepy Hallow, Beetlejuice 2, Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghostbusters, Hocus Pocus 1 & 2, Sweeny Todd, and Halloween. I’d also like to fit in The Exorcist, the original Beetlejuice, Evil Dead, and Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin before Halloween on Thursday.
The girlfriend and I were down at her parents place on Sunday. We got back home at night just in time to watch the Bears lose against the Washington Commanders in the most embarrassing way possible—and in the final second of the game. If you haven’t seen or heard about it, you will.

It’s Tuesday. Here in Illinois we’re currently getting some very unseasonable weather. Instead of wet & chilly we have dry with temperatures in the 80s! However, it won’t last long because a cold front arriving early Halloween morning will bring rain and cooler temperatures. As a kid, the words cold and rain on Halloween meant only one thing—jackets! There was nothing more feared by a young trick-or-treater than having to cover your costume with a giant coat on Halloween. Hopefully it won’t be all that bad and all the kiddos can get their trick-or-treating done without coats!
Today I have another reader submitted spooky scene. This one was sent in by Ron, who caught this Easy Ridin’ skeleton in Silverton, Colorado. Now that’s a very cool shot! A big thanks goes out to Ron for taking the time to send it in!
