Anyone else go through a little Halloween hangover?

I would love to see that list. Also, it's funny you should mention Creepmas. December 13th of this year is also on a Friday, so that could be "The 13th Day of Creepmass."

Not that there is anything wrong with Christmas or December, but I also get a little tired of seeing Christmas decorations and hearing Christmas carols over the store muzak system as early as August, which happened at the Dollar Store in Dwight a couple of years back. There where more Christmas items in August for sale, then there where Halloween items for sale that October.

I don't if you have "Krampus" in your movie collection or not, but it's definitely a very dark Christmas story. Hey, I'm all for observing Creepmas, and this year, on Friday Dec 13th, I am going to celebrate "Black Christmas" or Creepmas with a vengeance.

I'm happy back here in the 17th century, thank you very much.

21st Century,. or 17th, it seems that ghost stories, legends and the like will always be around to keep the Halloween spirit alive, be it in the age of the Internet or in the age of the Salem Witch Trials. Back then there where stories about mechanical clocks that were possessed or 'haunted.' When the 20th century came along, there were all kinds of 'haunted car,' 'haunted ship' 'haunted airplane' and the like which were made into movies in some cases (i.e. "Ghost of Flight 401") I'm pretty sure there will be stories made up, told or even believed about possessed computers, cell phone calls from dead relatives, or old CRT televisions that show programs from 40 or 50 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if there already 'ghost' stories or sightings around the old Ternobel nuclear reactor or 3 Mile Island. If we live long enough, there may even be "ghost" star ships warping off into eternity.

Folklore has been around for a very long time, and will continue for as long as there are folks. At least that's my take on it.
