Halloween 2008, Part 5--Sci-Fi and Monsters






















"Are you sure you didn't see my son's baseball? He swears it went into your yard...."

I'll let that caption remain ambiguous in terms of who's asking the question (the knight or monster?). I suppose it's funnier if it's the monster speaking, but I leave that decision to you, dear caption-reader. Another possibility: "Have you seen any monsters around here?"

Yes, science fiction and monsters, from the H-Man, rocket ships, robots, and King Kong to Godzilla, The Jolly Green Giant, and crazy places from (actually, in) outer space. We got it all. And you can download it all in a single zip file.

And I accidentally repeated a track from the previous slaylists--Jeff Barry's The Face from Outer Space. So, in case you hear it and think, "Hey, I've heard that before, and recently," now you know why. Today's Journey Into Space, however, is a different Journey Into Space than the Halloween 2008, Part 3 track.

The rest are new to 2008, at least at this blog. These will put you in a happy, silly mood. With the horrific economic news of late, most of us could use a silly, happy mood. This Halloween season is a tad too close to Halloween for my tastes.

I prefer the pretend version.

Where did the image come from? Neat one.

I photographed it from a book of 19th-century Gustav Dore illustrations. I have a couple other creepy Dores to feature, too.

Byron,

Sure thing! Whenever I can open a new Dore, I go for it.

Piroka,

Yes, that's me--with some help from my Noteworthy Composer music program. Thanks!

"Greatings" is close--it's "greetings." But don't worry--your English is much, much better than my Indian! Greetings from the land below Canada.
