"This is Haunted Halloween" collection CD art...

A festive two hour collection of holiday tunes, debuting on October 1, 2010!  –

Disc One is packed with a selection of macabre party hits, from a new extended mix of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to Sheb Wooley’s campy “The Purple People Eater.”  Disc Two follows with pieces reflecting the darker side of Halloween.  Here, spooky film themes, ghoulish classical favorites, and other grisly tunes mix it up with creepy sound effects perfect for a stormy night.

Produced by Jason Pittman and Kali Pappas, this collection offers new presentations of old classics alongside several fun surprises.  But beware — this is not your average Halloween mix tape.  Listen and share!  If you dare…

Dead Man’s Party…

Almost time!

Mr. Ghost Goes to Town

“Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living.”

~ Arthur C. Clarke

More to come!

Halloween Spooks!


The strangest sight you’ve ever seen
The Monster Tree on Hallowe’en …

~ Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree

More to come!

This is Halloween…

T h i s * i s * H a l l o w e e n

Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches’ gateposts
Giving stare for stare,
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Stirrings round of fate-cakes
With a solemn spoon.

Whirling apple parings,
Figures draped in sheets,
Dodging, disappearing,
Up and down the streets,
Jack-o’-lanterns grinning,
Shadows on a screen,
Shrieks and starts and laughter
This is Halloween!

~ Dorothy Brown Thompson

Stay tuned for something special…

Merry Christmas, Fools and Foolinas!

Yay, KOFY!!!

So while the whole SS United States thing is pissing me off, KOFY IS BACK AND IT’S MAKING ME HAPPY!

Back in October, Channel 20 reinstated the KOFY call letters and brought back a lot of the cool, local features and fluff that made the channel FUN!  The dog bumpers, the Yule Log, and even the old DANCE PARTY segments (albeit the taped ones from the 80s and early 90s) are back!
