Greetings,

The multitude of spirits abroad on Halloween creates an ideal atmosphere for every kind of occult happening. Goblins seize their last opportunity, before they are frozen in for the winter, for wreaking all kinds of mischief on human beings. The shrieks and cackles of witches fill the night sky, as flocks of them fly to the final Sabbat of the year. Fairies spirit away young wives, whom they return dazed and amnesic 366 days later, and snatch babies from cradles. Werewolves howl and prowl; every kind of ghost gibbers and moans around windows and doorways; skeleton hands reach up out of ancient graves. Mortals should not cower inside their homes on Hallowe?en. They should light great fires on hilltops to frighten the witches away; throw riotous parties and dance around houses and barns to scare off goblins and fairies; stone witches? cottages; and give plenty of food and drink to children and poor people in the name of charity. The community which stages an uproarious Halloween will drive away all the prowling creatures of the night.

And what an uproarious Halloween we had with those souls brave enough to join us for Halloween 2001...

Take a look at Longcroft, the venue for the atrocities.

Peruse the esteemed and gruesome guest list.

Or, if you have a strong stomach and you're feeling particularly brave, why not delve into the Ghoul's Gallery? <% set myFileObject = server.createObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set myFolder = myFileObject.getFolder(server.mapPath("gallery/")) folderDate = myFolder.DateLastModified response.write( " There are currently " & myFolder.files.count & " pictures, last updated on " & FormatDateTime(folderDate,vbLongDate) & " at " & FormatDateTime(folderDate,vbShortTime) & "." ) %>

If you'd rather sit back and be entertained and your computer and internet connection are up to the challenge, there's always our own scary movie! Well worth a look.

We look forward to haunting you soon. H-2002 perhaps...?

Unpleasant dreams,

Joanne and Ian
