It's Mummy Day.

Radio spot for The Mummy

From Mad Monster Party, Little Tibia and the Fibias sing "The Mummy" (Thanks, Franklin Mint!)

The Verdicts - Mummy's Ball

Cheyney

Wooster, Ohio

Sorry about the sun flare; I shot this at the wrongest time of day possible. When you get into town about once a year, you gotta shoot things when you can.

Radio spot for Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde (hilariously awesome)

Vincent Price as Dr. Phibes - Over the Rainbow (Thanks Steve and Steve's friend whose email I lost in the great crash of '08)

Unfinished

This mausoleum, part of the most awesomely rundown cemetery ever, has sat in this unfinished condition for probably 20 years.

Columbus, Ohio

Radio spot for Monsters Crash the Pajama Party

The Ramones - Pet Sematary

Another Receiving Vault

Oh, I know, but they never get old for me.

Bellefontaine, Ohio

You can see a closer view of those beaten, padlocked doors here.

Radio spot for Basket Case

David Bowie - Please Mr. Gravedigger

Mourning

This one is actually creepier in long shot, and especially from behind, with those big holes in her back. Those shots are up at Flickr.

Bellefontaine, Ohio

Radio spot for Halloween

Donovan - Season of the Witch

Lou Rawls (yes that's right) - Season of the Witch

And this has nothing to do with Halloween, but I just got back from a great show and the thing that makes it even vaguely relevant here is that it was such a treat for the ears, and the eyes provided it. You see, I won my ticket to the show through a photography contest sponsored by the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts; and the fun of it is that I spent the show sitting directly under the subject of my winning shot.

So let me share a little something from the groups that performed:

Blind Boys of Alabama - Take My Hand

and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (who really blew me away) - Bourbon Street Parade

Dungeon

A real dungeon! It was used as a makeshift jail when the town was founded back in the 1830s. If you want to see the inside, visit my Flickr page.

Malta, Ohio

Radio spot for Blacula

Lon Chaney Jr - Spider Baby Theme (one of my favorite movies)

Woodlawn Mausoleum

I like this one - looks a little like a tiny castle, and I like the multi-colored window.

Lima, Ohio

Radio spot for Ghost in the Invisible Bikini

Bessie Smith - Haunted House Blues
