HALLOWEEN OUTSIDE MY WINDOW



Ah, the frightful sounds of Halloween.
I think I'll stay inside tonight.

SAL





HALLOWEEN OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

I've got the covers pulled right up to my hard breathing nose.
I'm watching the scariest movie I know for the 31st time over the decades.
I'll just sit right here and watch John Carpenter's masterpiece about that Thing.
I'll leave the Halloween night to the things that go bump in the darkness outside my window!

WHEN THE LAST CHILD RETIRES FOR THE NIGHT



When the last Trick or Treater has finally made his way back home...
A different Halloween emerges from the dark shadows.
It happens WHEN THE LAST CHILD RETIRES FOR THE NIGHT!

RLJ




WHEN THE LAST CHILD RETIRES FOR THE NIGHT

Midnight approaches like a shadowy apparition slinking through the dead zones of the night.
It comes, tonight, followed by the promise of a festive day of horror called Halloween.
Few humans know of the monster code of respect -- leave the children to their Tricks and Treats.
But when the small fry retire from the Halloween darkness... the real dangerous All Hallows Eve begins!

THE QUEST FOR THE HEART OF EVIL


The quest begins... now!

RLJ





THE QUEST FOR THE HEART OF EVIL

Zallot trekked his way deep into the center of the Enchanted Forest Of The Damned!
His quest was to battle his way to the heart of the forest and chop down the Blood Heart Tree!
He fought and killed demons, devils, witches and warlocks as he eventually braved the evil forest.
He found the tree... he discovered true evil there... the details of that epic showdown are soon to come...

I DO FEAR THE CREATURES UNDER MY BED



I've written about them before.
They first appeared when I was a child.
They are the dark creatures that live under my bed.
They follow me wherever I go.
And tonight, they are scaring the crap out of me... again!
And... I DO FEAR THE CREATURES UNDER MY BED!

WLM





I DO FEAR THE CREATURES UNDER MY BED

Ah crap, its midnight again and the creatures of the darkness under my bed are fighting again!
One of them gave out a shrill shriek that was so loud it startled me awake!
They are now engaged in physical combat... my bed is shaking so hard it might flip over.
Lesson learned -- when they fight, I stay in bed until the sun arises and they retreat... again!

THE SCENT OF HIS FEAR


I am better than any man!
I am stronger than any man!
I am more hunter than human!
My dad has taught me well!

SSM






THE SCENT OF HIS FEAR

This chase through this part of the forest has gone on long enough!
That idiot tried to rob and rape me right there on the side of the road.
Little does he know that I know these woods like the back of my hands!
Dad taught me how to stealthily track and kill my prey... and how to properly gut it!

THE FINAL RESULT


In this Horrorwalker World of horror...
It takes a whole lot of will,
And specialized weaponry,
To make The Final Result.

RLJ







THE FINAL RESULT

How do people resolve arguments of horror in a world of dark horror?
How to people resolve their arcane confrontations in a world of horror?
How do people resolve their issues when horror world monsters are involved?
Silver bullets, blessed crosses, holy water, wooden stakes... and plenty of blood and guts!

LOOKING AT THEM LOOKING AT ME


Oh, 
I stay inside during the nighttime of this time of the year.
I have the The Sight... 
And I know what is out there in the darkness.
They mostly leave the ignorant alone.
But people like me?
I'm always looking at them looking at me!

SAK



LOOKING AT THEM LOOKING AT ME

I'm looking out my kitchen window into the dark back yard as I wash these dishes.
The eyes of ghastly things out in the darkness are staring back at me with reflective sight.
It's not the trees, its not the squirrels, it's not the cats... it is the eyes of the things of darkness.
Halloween is coming soon... and the dark things that hide there are awakening to stare at me!

I DIDN'T MEAN TO EAT YOU WHILE YOU SLEPT


Regardless of how good she looked,
You should have listened to her when she warned you about her soul!
And now she is lamenting --
I DIDN'T MEAN TO EAT YOU WHILE YOU SLEPT!

RLJ




I DIDN'T MEAN TO EAT YOU WHILE YOU SLEPT

...Before I knew what had happened to you, it was over in a bloody mess.
Your body looked so edible and so tasty as you relaxed in your sleep.
The ham you ate at dinner seasoned your scent... right into my nose.
I warned you a hundred times that the feral demon inside me could not be trusted!...

WAITING FOR THE RAYS OF THE FULL MOON

Animals do seek revenge!
Just ask these wolves who are Waiting For The Rays Of The Full Moon!

RLJ






WAITING FOR THE RAYS OF THE FULL MOON

The wolves howled outside the first floor windows of a frightened Marcus Mann's house last night.
This is the fourth night they have gathered around his house to call for his life.
These spirit creatures of the wild are seekers of revenge... they wait for tomorrow's full moon!
The werewolf inside murdered their leader last full moon... and they know it will answer their call soon!

RESPECT THE MYSTERY

The trees are changing the color of their leaves in October.
The air is changing the texture of the temperature of its winds.
The ground is now primed for the release of old frightening things.
Fall is in the air and it is time to remember to respect the mystery!

RLJ





RESPECT THE MYSTERY

The atmosphere in the Virginia Mountains has now changed with the incoming cool season.
The time is now when old buried undead things emerge out of the steaming damp moss and decay.
They rise up from among leaf covered ancient tree roots to take back their domain for a time.
The mountain folk respect the ancient mysteries... it is death to interfere with Native Spirit's doings.

A SURVIVOR TALE


Nature oftentimes takes a lot to give a lot. Case in point...
A SURVIVOR TALE!

RLJ







A SURVIVOR TALE

...The water in the creek was clear and full of trout on that faithful day.
I was fully focused on my task as I fished out two large ones for supper.
Suddenly, there were frighteningly familiar sounds surrounding me... four grizzly bears.
I escaped that horror to write this survival missive -- minus the fish, and my right arm!...

FIVE CHANCES TOO MANY



For those of you who believe in heaven and hell...
Is FIVE CHANCES TOO MANY?

RLJ





FIVE CHANCES TOO MANY

Mister Jones, this is the 5th time your soul has been brought before me in 3 years.
I don't know what kind of kamikaze bullshit you're doing over there on the earthly plane.
Because of my contract with god, and hell being full, I've sent you back to earth memory free.
But now you're trying my patience... and you will remember the pain of... the day you entered HELL!

CAVEAT EMPTOR


When one is so sick,
And so old,
That death is the only option...
Is it better to defile nature and live on as something ungodly?
She is thinking about it... real hard!

RLJ





CAVEAT EMPTOR

Patty was willing to do anything for a little more time to spend in the land of the living.
She is a frail 88 years old and time has not been kind to her body and her will.
The Houngan asked her if she was willing to sacrifice her eternal soul for more life.
The Caveat Emptor: You will live forever as my soulless living corpse slave!

THE DAMNED EXORCISED


Samuel was warned to leave that BOOK OF THE DAMNED alone!
Now I have to tempt the wraith of hell... again!
Somebody in this church owes me BIG TIME!

RMM







THE DAMNED EXORCISED

I told all of the religion filled doubters that hell could not hold me!
My magic is too strong for Satan himself to grip hold of my soul.
I completed my quest -- bring back Samuel's damned soul!
Now, let us all see if the exorcism talent of Father Brown is as powerful as advertised!

RED TEXAS CLAY


 Red Texas Clay,
As red as the blood that once coated the dryness,
Covers the Texas landscape with tasty cells...
 From the wasted lives of the many -- from the past!

RLJ






RED TEXAS CLAY

I've tasted the red Texas dust from dry Clint in the west to the damp red clay of Hemphill to the east!
I can easily identify the blood cells of the countless slaughtered Native Americans in a bite.
I can also taste the countless blood cells of the countless Africans slaughtered there, too.
That's the thing about being a vampire... I know the taste of the blood I eat... even in Red Texas Clay!

THE FAMILY FEUD


It is said,
About human love,
That opposites attract.
That is until one of them turns into a feral werewolf!

PAJ






THE FAMILY FEUD

...The Holnstein clan lived on Mother Myrick Mountain, on the north side!
The Jagensdorf clan lived on the Red Mountain, on the south side.
The Holnstein clan are proud vampires... The Jagensdorf clan are conflicted werewolves.
Baste Holnstein killed Gitte Jagensdorf in 1887... and the bloody feud continues to this day!...

GO UP OR GO DOWN

Stuck in the middle of a very dangerous nowhere --
Facing a serious dilemma --
Jeff Mangold finally decided he needed to...
Go up or go down!

RLJ





GO UP OR GO DOWN

The dilemma was not as profound as he first thought it was.
Jeff's Cessna crashed 75 feet high into the trees above the wild, dense Gambian jungle.
Crocodiles filled the river below... howling creatures filled in the branches above.
Climb down or climb up... let's see, what is easier to shoot with his rifle!

SO WHAT




(Season 3, Episode 35)

It is not a pretty sight,
When life catches up to you in...
The Horrorwalker World!

RLJ






SO WHAT
(Tucson, Arizona)


You exist on three quickly passing hours of sleep per night! 
You force yourself to go to bed only when your eyelids grow too heavy! 
You do realize that you should take control of your sleep idiosyncrasy! 
But, you are too deep into your habit and it may just be eroding you!

The word narcolepsy is thrown at you by friends of concern! 
Falling asleep at the wheel of your automobile -- 
In the brightness of the middle of the day -- 
Is not a good thing if you actually want to stay alive! 

Your failing memory, 
Plus your lack of concentration, 
Needs to be rescued from the sleep you lack! 
How could you forget your own mother’s birthday?

When you were a 22 year old self absorbed fool...
Partying up a storm as you laid waste to the land of the silly...
Your drinking and smoking and staying up all night was...
 Stupid self-destructive behavior making you a 'down with the boy’s player.' 

The girls dug your stamina, 
The boys respected your physical constitution, 
And your parents questioned your ethics. 
Too bad for them, you didn't give a flying fig about what they thought about you.

By the time you were forty-two years old -- 
You were still single, 
And still partying too much,
And wasting away like a mongrel dog.

And still you stayed up all night long with the drinking of the alcohol,
 And the smoking of the potent weed, 
And still womanizing the young ladies possessing much more stamina than you...
 Your body was breaking down from the self-abuse and the lack of self-respect. 

And so, on the day of your 43rd birthday,
The realization hit you in the mouth like a boxer's punch...
You could no longer overlook the obvious fact -- 
You had ruined your body in the filthy scum of a sewer of self-destruction!

So what if a stroke struck you down in your tracks...
As you snorted that last beautiful line of powder cocaine.
So what if the paralysis left you dead on the left side...
You have some wild frickin' memories to occupy your alive mind.

The beautiful nurse just wiped the line of drool from your chin.
You know this beauty could easily have been another lady to conquer.
But those days are long gone, you finally realize,
As she looks you in your eyes... the look of, "You poor bastard!"

HORROR DREAMS DO COME TRUE

It happened on a Sunday night at 9:00 PM... in fact, it was October 12, 2014!

SCIENCE CONFUSED BY RELIGION


Commander Jayne Patterson ordered everyone to keep their Vacuum-Suits sealed. Her five person search party would debark from the shuttle craft and enter the CDC building for information. The fact that they lost contact with earth 42 years ago was as unnerving as the fact that there was not a living human in sight anywhere in Atlanta! In fact, the human skeletons they saw here and there had long since been either stripped of their flesh, or simply desiccated by the weather... right down to the bones. These bones were as dusty and dry as the concrete they lay upon.

Eventually, they made their way to the command center. Officer Barton used his communication skills to open the diary recordings of CDC director, Doctor Sarah Barton, his sister. It was inside her private messages addressed to him, the ones she never got to transmit to him, that he found all of the disturbing answers to the questions he did not want to find.

And, he found the profound passage titled:

SCIENCE CONFUSED BY RELIGION!

CJP





SCIENCE CONFUSED BY RELIGION

...The beginning of the end of civilization began the day science became confused by religion!
It was the men of religion who claimed that God would heal the sick and the dying of the disease!
It was the scientists who warned that science offered the cures... but, religion won the argument!
Eventually the humans died, for it was too late when all of the scientists, like me, succumbed!...

TAKEN NOT SO GENTLY BY DEATH


Bad men in a bad place...
Took my life without a second thought!
I died,
They walked away,
Now I am facing the ultimate consequence!

BAE





TAKEN NOT SO GENTLY BY DEATH

Death knocked at the door to my eternal soul the day they shot me through the heart.
They left me bleeding and broken right here on the grimy sidewalk off the boardwalk.
Death cares not if a man is shot dead by a group of common street thugs!
It was my soul that was dragged screaming from my body while the thugs walked away.

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (2)


The dead walk the earth as homicidal cannibals who eat the living!
The living have mostly been murdered and consumed.
I am alive.
My mission in life,
Before I am eventually cornered and bitten,
Is to find somebody else alive... anybody!

JAC






THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (2)

I've always wondered why, and how, are these zombie monsters so strong?
I've been grabbed by those steel grip hands more than once by a single zombie.
I've nearly bought the farm too many times... but I am now smarter than I was before.
I keep a squeeze tube of lithium grease on me at all times... they can't eat what they can't grip!

NASTY TAINTED BLOOD


Just because that blood was a deep beautiful red,
That didn't make it taste like it should have.

CVD





NASTY TAINTED BLOOD

Now, that was the nastiest blood I've ever sucked out of an artery!
What in the hell kind of putrid food has that poor bastard been eating?
His blood was like thick molasses... his neck skin was tough as worn leather!
Christ almighty... I long for the days when human food wasn't all that processed shit!

HOWLING AT THE BLOOD MOON


Oh, 
It was going to be a long night...
When the Werewolf, 
Bathed in this rare wicked October Moon...
Could be heard growling and snarling and --
HOWLING AT THE BLOOD MOON!

RLJ





HOWLING AT THE BLOOD MOON

I'm jotting these notes down in my journal of death... my reminder of how awful I am!
This latest horrid entry comes at the conclusion of last night's full 'Blood Moon' experience!
The were-beast within me exploded in a wanton perverse orgy of heightened violence last night!
Twenty bodies... pieces of them scattered across this dew damped ground, victims of my curse!

THE CALLING DEAD

It is 12:01 AM and the telephone is ringing again with that odd sounding tune.
Like every other night, I'll pick it up and the woman on the line will say she is Marie.
The sound will be muffled, the voice will indeed be her's and the horror will strangle me... again.
We buried Marie two months ago... with the one personal item she requested -- her cell phone!

THE ORDER OF THE HEARTBEAT


There is a heartbeat thumping in the background.
Do you here it?
It is "THE ORDER OF THE HEARTBEAT!"

RLJ






THE ORDER OF THE HEARTBEAT

There is a heartbeat that provides the soundscape of the background of the Horrorwalker World!
It fills the ethereal spaces between Horrorwalker World tales with the cadence of order!
The living who respectfully march to the cadence of the beat often navigate the way alive!
Disrespecting the heartbeat of the Horrorwalker World is to invite nightmare horror and death!

SLASHING AND CUTTING AND BLEEDING AND SEQUESTRATION


In a time past, present, and future...
Republican politicians killed the American population!
They stripped all funding for social infrastructure building...
And black diseases of death killed most of us all!

And only the zombies walked American streets resistant to the death diseases.
And all the politicians died from their on derision and delusion...
Right alongside the rest of the population!
It was so sad it wasn't even ironic!

RLJ





SLASHING AND CUTTING AND BLEEDING AND SEQUESTRATION

The USA politician says, "God will take care of those who perform abortions!"
The USA politician says, "God will give the poor the food that we steal from them!"
The USA politician says, "Let God provide the people we cut and slash with healthcare!" 
No USA politician told that stuff to Nature, as Ebola death diseases kill the sequestrated!

The dead who have become undead walk the streets of death and decay!
They are searching for something that they no longer remember what it is!
But if live flesh gets in their way... their search will turn to gory murder!

...We who are alive are caught inside the insane vortex of a Zombie Apocalypse, indeed!

Others say that most of humanity were already brain fried zombies living their lives by rote...
Their brains damaged and distorted by the unregulated cell phone radiation that drove them mad!...

MAY I AWAKEN BEFORE I ROT


I love the sound of the rain pattering on top of my coffin during these months of storms.
Otherwise, the sounds of silence show me no love during the long lonely times.
I am dead and I am buried and I am still under the influence of the witch's spell.
May I awaken to exact my vengeance before I rot to my bones inside this tomb.

THE VOICE OF MISTER SAGGY PANTS


Why in the holy hell would a parent let their six year old child watch the movie "Magic"?
Some adults are disturbed by that movie.
What else did they expect him to do with Mister Saggy Pants?

THE VOICE OF MISTER SAGGY PANTS

The fact that Peter Hammond has an unnatural attraction to puppets is real.
The fact that all of his puppets take their orders from Mister Saggy Pants is real, too.
The fact that every one of Peter's puppets have committed murder is real, too.
Mister Saggy Pants sure sound a whole lot like Peter talking out the side of his mouth!
