Both scenes today are from the Lake Mary Ghost Walk– (a scary ghost or ghoul? and the main one is a lovely lady–one of several zombies that like to play with warmer blooded street occupants)–It’s great fun but they were about sold out last time I checked: Only one more–10/24 and you need to get with them first for reservations and time—http://lakemarymuseum.com/upcomingevents.html There’s also a Halloween exhibit to see at the museum:
with antique costumes, pictures and a change in décor (as noted in above picture). Even if the tour is filled this one is worth seeing as well. Just work yesterday…boring but necessary to held fund my lavish life style.
Mike Enslin: Cut his own throat, right?
Gerald Olin: Well that’s not the horrific part. Afterwards, in a fit of insanity, he tried to stitch himself back together using an old sewing needle before he bled to death.

Abraham Lincoln: [voice over] And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder. And I looked, and behold, it was Death, saying, ‘Come and see.’ And I saw. And Hell followed me.

The Mata Mata Turtle Ok who though turtles could be terrible—-“As it remains motionless in the water, its skin flaps enable it to blend into the surrounding vegetation until a fish comes close. The mata mata thrusts out its head and opens its large mouth as wide as possible, creating a low-pressure vacuum that sucks the prey into its mouth, known as suction feeding.[15] The mata mata snaps its mouth shut, the water is slowly expelled, and the fish is swallowed whole; the mata mata cannot chew due to the way its mouth is constructed” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mata_mata Though they grow quite large (and have all those nasty barbs) they are not a threat to humans—but I don’t think the fish enjoy their interaction very much.

Komodo Dragons: There’s nothing mystical (or romantic) about these dragons. “And so, rumors of an enormous prehistoric lizard roaming a remote Indonesian island were just that — rumors — until 1910. At that time, Lt. Steyn van Hensbroek, a Dutch colonial official, decided to check things out for himself. He put together an expedition and headed to Komodo Island, where he caught and killed a 6-foot specimen. Van Hensbroek then sent the proof — er, dragon carcass — back to the Zoological Museum and Botanical Garden at Bogor, Java, which dubbed the species Varanus komodensis.” http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/monster-week/mythical-animals-that-turned-out-to-be-real/
David: Jack is dead and six people are dead. There’s gonna be a full moon tonight. I’m going to the cops.
Alex: David, please be rational. Let’s go to Dr. Hirsch.
David: Yeah. Be rational, sure. I’m a f******g werewolf, for Christ’s sake! An American Werewolf in London
THE SERIAL KILLER: WHETHER an intelligent stranger like Bundy
or an evil (I didn’t kill anyone) manipulator like Manson
They are a real monster of today and even yesteryear. “A serial killer is a person who murders three or more people, usually due to abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant break (a “cooling off period”) between them. Some sources, such as the FBI, disregard the “three or more” criterion and define serial killing as “a series of two or more murders, committed as separate events, usually, but not always, by one offender acting alone”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer
One of the first listed was in Roman : “Several Roman men died in what was believed to be a plague, until a servant woman revealed that they had been poisoned by a conspiracy of matrons. Two patrician women arrested admitted to preparing concoctions but claimed that they were medicinal; when they drank themselves to prove it, at their own suggestion, they died immediately. A total of 170 matrons were arrested. According to Livy, “their act was regarded as a prodigy, and suggested madness rather than felonious intent”.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_killers_before_1900 saved the cost of a state trial and execution what ever the cause.

Mother in Diner: Why are they doing this? Why are they doing this? They said when you got here the whole thing started. Who are you? What are you? Where did you come from? I think you’re the cause of all of this. I think you’re evil. Evil!

The Official Monster Raving Loony Party is a registered political party established in the United Kingdom in 1983 by the musician David Sutch (1940–1999), better known as “Screaming Lord Sutch, 3rd Earl of Harrow” or simply “Screaming Lord Sutch”. It is notable for its deliberately bizarre policies and it effectively exists to satirise British politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Monster_Raving_Loony_Party personally I think all political parties should have Monster, loony or raving included in their official name.
Political malfeasance grabs headlines, and few public failings are as colorful as a House legislator who stores $90,000 in marked bills in his basement freezer (William J. Jefferson, Democrat of Louisiana, convicted of bribery, racketeering and money laundering in 2009) or one who boasts to an F.B.I. undercover agent, “I’ve got larceny in my heart” (John W. Jenrette Jr., Democrat of South Carolina, convicted of accepting bribes in the Abscam sting; Mr. Jenrette was later found guilty of shoplifting shoes and a necktie at a Marshalls department store). http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/us/politics/it-only-seems-that-political-corruption-is-rampant.html?_r=0
