Happy Halloween from the Tenebrous Empire

Well, it's the final and most vital night of my marathon Halloween, but before I get off to another night of greasepaint, fancy hats, and general debauch, I wanted to wish all my interpals an extraordinarily joyful Goth Christmas--I mean... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Below are some photos from an event I attended last night at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. Every year on October 30th, the Cathedral presents a screening of a spooky silent film with live organ accompaniment, followed by the Procession of the Ghouls, a live puppetry and costume performance put together by the same folks who create the puppets that mark the beginning of the annual Village Halloween Parade. It's a gorgeous sight to behold, and I highly recommend this event to anyone who's spending the creepiest of holidays in New York City.

Scandy Tangerine Man, I think we should just keep the Halloween thing going. I enjoy it more than Christmas, I do!
