Ah, the evocative images this time of year brings on its cloaked shoulders.

A chilling wind blows the thin veil between worlds as All Hollow’s Eve approaches. It is time for the prisoners of the underworld to fly their freak flags a little and party down before the solemn Holiday of All Saints Day arrives on November one.

As disguises are carefully selected, they reveal more than they hide. Groom and I have made our appearance, can you spot us?

Lastly, while on the subject of various body parts, here’s a little season appropriate snippet from Willie the Bard.

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

-Macbeth
