Mundane Halloween returns!

Halloween is great, but the greatest part of Halloween is the annual "mundane Halloween" costume contest sponsored by Japanese website @dailyportalz

Here is a thread of some of my favorites from this year...

Halloween: teaching kids that if you want something, however trivial, it’s always worth trying to scare people into giving it to you.

A Halloween books cartoon for @theguardian.com

One:
It is all hallows' eve. The undead walk the earth, revenging themselves upon the living. At dawn they will return to the cold of the grave But first they will stop by the library and pick up some books for the coming year below ground..

Two:
A door has been left ajar.
A single brave librarian waits at the desk.
Late fees are waived.
The returned books will be exorcised by a priest.
The townspeople know nothing.

Three:
By morning, all that remains is a pile of novels in a heap of ashes where one ghoul, having spent too long browsing, was incinerated by the rising sun. A librarian dusts off the books and returns them to the shelves

If you can avoid driving tonight, please do.

"In this episode, [Arash Javanbakht, a psychiatrist from Wayne State University] gets into the differences between fear and anxiety, many of the reasons people feel afraid and why things like scary movies could even be therapeutic."

Why some people love scary movies : Short Wave

Creepy crawly season is upon us, Short Wavers! We're welcoming fall with a contemplation of fear and anxiety. In human history, fear kept us safe. It helped us flee from predators. Anxiety made us war...

Recommended Halloween date night movie: surprisingly moving, romantic indie film "After Midnight" (Prime), which has a cool monster and is simply an excellent 10/10 film. Reminds me, I am due for a rewatch.
