    I'm (still) not quite dead...

    I'm sorry, I am so very sorry for the lack of updates on, well, anything. A few of you have probably noticed that I've still been putting in the occasional appearance or comment, but as for chapter updates...yeah I've barely written anything for months for various reasons - work sucks, arranging a couple vacations, a falling out in my D&D group of 14 years, and just a sort of malaise that

    When you're writing a chapter...

    And listening to music to keep yourself in the mood, and then you hear a song that has you suddenly realize that you've been writing the entire chapter wrong and should have instead been basing it around the song - not necessarily using the song directly (especially since that would be against site rules concerning wholesale copying of lyrics), but certainly drawing on it for inspiration.

    The Good News and the Bad News

    The good news is that I got a root canal on Monday. No more pain in teeth. Yay!

    The bad news is that I was 3/4ths of the way through the next chapter of Midnight Castle (~5000 words) and realized that I was writing it totally wrong. I need to go back to practically the start and change up a lot, though I'm salvaging lines and paragraphs wherever I can.

Hmmm... I prefer The Rolling Stones version of Sympathy For The Devil, but to each their own.

I'm honestly happy to say that I have heard all of these.

TDR

Quite a collection , though i must suggest this as well, Danse Macabe

I will recommend to add:
The Mirror Lied Theme” by: Kan Gao
And
The Room Soundtrack Main Theme” by: Dave Newby

This kind of music is more on the mysterious/paranoid type, but I think it can have a place on the list

Here’s some of the stuff from my Metal Heads playlist:
Frost - Enslaved
Betrayal - Lita Ford
Mr. Crowley - Ozzy
Her Ghost in the Fog - Cradle of Filth
Cry of the Banshee - Brocas Helm
Drink the Blood of the Priest - Brocas Helm
Believer - Ozzy
This is War 3 - Falcon Shield
Oblivion - Aviators

The last is really Synth though.

Solid spooky songs!

"Here There Be Witches" by Creature Feature.
"Drink With The Living Dead" by Ghoultown.
"Surfin' Dead" by The Cramps (from "The Return Of The Living Dead".

This inspires me to (maybe) get off my lazy butt and make a list of "Essential Horror Movies"/Horror recommendations for October.

Turner Classic Movies is showing "The Last Dragon" (1985) tonight!

In New York City, a young man searches for a Master to obtain the final level of martial arts mastery known as the Glow.

Almost anything by Danny Elfman makes for good Halloween music, even some of his Oingo Boingo stuff like Dead Man's Party. March of the Dead from Army of Darkness was another good one of his,

The Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia is another good one... Mannheim Steamroller does a nifty cover of it on their Halloween album.

Hector Berlioz's March to the Scaffold from Symphony Fantastique is fun... a dude gets to march toward his death. I always imagined the part after the clarinet solo to be a guillotine lopping the man's head off (and it bounces a couple of times, to boot), but considering that it is a scaffold, it could be representing him getting hanged instead.

Nightmare of My Street by the Fresh Prince is one of those guilty pleasures. I'm your DJ now, Princey... Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! :trollestia:
