If you enjoy mini-golf, here's a monster themed game. It's pretty hard.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We got us a winner! It was from a scene from an episode of Star Trek called "Catspaw". It was a Halloween-themed episode with witches, a black cat, a dungeon, skeletons, and black magic spells. It first aired on NBC on October 27, 1967.

Somewhere else, two people guessed it was from Macbeth. Not correct, albeit good guesses because the scene was likely meant to be a play on Macbeth!

My guess was two lines from Macbeth.

Well, like I said, good guess -- but incorrect. Lol. It's a scene from Star Trek. ;-)

Guess I'm not geared to that type of entertainment.

Star Trek has become more than just "entertainment". It's become part of our culture. There are even universities that have courses on Star Trek.

I had an enjoyable Halloween with a friend watching the first horror movie ever made! We went to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles...

...to see the original 1925 silent movie:



...Starring "The Man of a Thousand Faces", Lon Chaney (Sr.).

The movie was accompanied by a live organist.

neat SciFi. I remember a theater from my youth that still had a pipe organ. It was a grand theater, with velvet curtains in front of the screen, plush seats, luxurious carpet and smartly dressed ushers (gloves, caps and all). I was taken there once as a very young child and duly impressed.

Although, by the time I was old enough to go "downtown" to that one by myself and it had changed, they did offer special screenings of old movies, replete with the organist and all. I think I may have seen 3 or 4 movies that way. There was feeling of grandeur and pomp and one felt like they should be dressed to the nines to attend. A sad day when they retired the organ, took down the curtains (very tattered by then) and shifted to a more modern theater décor.

As a teen, I also attended many horror film marathons there on Halloween costume and all. Fun times!

I did see some people there dressed in suits and ties. But most were dressed in ordinary street clothes.

Years ago I went to that at Drexel University in Philly where they have an amazing pipe organ in the chapel. It was on Halloween and it was free and it was a lot of fun.

I've been to LA several times, but I've never been to the Disney Concert Hall ~ the interior picture looks like it would be a great experience ~

This was my first time there. It's beautiful inside. Much moreso than the picture captures.
