BIOGRAPHY®
Stephen King: Fear, Fame and Fortune
Friday, October 31 at 8pm

Stephen King was a Maine schoolteacher who worked on novels and short
stories in his spare time. Now he is one of the most popular and
prolific writers of our time.

"Biography" chronicles the life of the author who, since 1971, has
cranked out bestseller after bestseller-with just about all of them
having been adapted to film. King's The Green Mile, starring Tom
Hanks, was released in December, 1999. He is a master of the macabre.
King's horror story masterpieces include The Shining, Christine,
Cujo, Firestarter, Carrie, and The Stand. Even his lesser known non-
horror works, Misery and Stand By Me, have been the grist for
Hollywood's mill.

King recounts how their mother, Nellie, raised him and his brother in
Maine. The parents separated when King was a toddler. Relatives
provided his family with financial support during his early years
growing up in the city of Durham. His mother found work in the
kitchens of a local facility for the retarded. However, from his
earliest years, Stephen King found refuge from the routine of Durham
through writing. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine,
he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper.

Join AMC and renowned horror director Clive Barker on a quest for the
next great horror director. Given no money, no time and no stars, we
challenged the next generation of American filmmakers to come up with
a great horror film with only one catch: The movies had to be short--
about 60 seconds.

See for yourself who Clive Barker feels might emerge as the next
force in cinematic horror as we present a half-hour of fang-tastic
original films by a host of scarily talented up-and-coming
filmmakers. If you're in the mood for a good scare, check out

"Witchcraft"

Tuesday, October 28 at 11pm on The History Channel

"Once upon a time that cackling crone on a broomstick held the
exalted position of a healing woman who harnessed nature's secrets
for humanity's good. What happened in the Middle Ages to transform
her into a Christian symbol of evil? We'll study the psychological
and social causes of the European and Salem witch trials". Hosted by

HOW TO TAKE GREAT HALLOWEEN PICTURES

"It's easy to turn this night of fantasy into permanent picture
memories," says Chuck DeLaney, Dean of the New York Institute of
Photography, "but you have to follow two simple guidelines or, excuse
the pun, you won't have a ghost of a chance."

"The most important guideline," says DeLaney, "is to know exactly
what you want to be the subject of your picture. Then, when you look
through the viewfinder of your camera, make your subject the most
important thing in the frame and try not to show anything that
distracts from it. The second guideline is to try to capture
the 'feeling' of the occasion too."

For example, if you are shooting a jack-o-lantern, it's your subject.
Make that clear by moving in close and almost filling the frame with
the pumpkin. Keep the background simple so it doesn't distract from
your subject. Hint: To make this picture even more interesting,
include the faces of the kids or Dad or Mom hovering over it. Get
down low so that you see their faces looming over the top of the
pumpkin. Careful now, you don't want to cut any heads off, even on
Halloween.

Now the second guideline. To capture the eerie "feeling" of
Halloween, shoot at night using "ghoul" lighting. Rule One is to turn
off your strobe!
You don't want pictures with its cold, clear light. Rather, you're
looking for eerie lighting that captures the "spirit" of Halloween.

Hint: To capture the glow of a jack-o-lantern, don't light just one
candle inside the pumpkin. Two or three lit candles will produce a
far better picture.

When you take a picture of your favorite goblin in costume, have a
helper shine a flashlight from off to one side or from below, the way
we all did as kids. This is "ghoul" lighting and it will produce
wonderfully scary lighting in your pictures. The biggest mistake
amateurs make is to shoot from too far back. So get in close and fill
the frame. You don't have to shoot from head-to-toe. Rather, you're
usually better off if you fill the frame with just the head and
shoulders. And bend down low to kid's-eye level. Don't shoot from
adult-level.

Hint: If your kids wears a mask, take two shots - one with the mask
on and one without so that in future years you'll be able to identify
the little devil behind the mask (and you may be able to use the
picture for your Xmas card). And don't forget fido. Put a mask or
silly hat on the family pet, and shoot - but fast. Fido or Cleo will
be too embarrassed to suffer this indignity for more than a few
seconds.

"The key to good Halloween pictures," concludes DeLaney, "is to
capture the spirit - the feeling - of the occasion. The spirit of
Halloween is ghoulish fun and silliness. So for great Halloween
pictures, know what you want the subject of each of your pictures to
be, and make it important in the frame. Then add 'mood' that captures
the spirit of Halloween by the ghoulish way you light your pictures
or the silly way you pose your subjects."

S7 INTERNATIONAL PRINT MAGAZINE REVIEW...

check out suture.seven's five star review in issue #9 of gothic
beauty magazine...

our last album as reviewed by jett black...

"a.stitch.to.mark.the.wound includes lyrical poetry and prose: "like
razors on the wrist of God".  "Void" opens the new album with an
endless stream of choked lyrics including: "Bowing down to - hide
your scars from - take the life of - hope is lost with - The One You
Love!"  Just the beginning of nearly a dozen more uplifting tracks to
make the grave more comfortable. You won't go wrong with a song
entitled "Casket Romantic"!  Easily my new favourite bitter pill to
be repeated with daily dosages.  Inspiration from the likes of
Oneiroid Psychosis seems reminiscent in the vocals and overall murky
mood of a.stitch.to.mark.the.wound.  And yet, in songs like "Kill
Me", the guitar work moves like war on Iraq.  "Eva's Lullaby"  pulls
the audience into the Third Reich of death and disorder.  The most
catchy song on the album is called "whores", which is delivered in a
kind of blended vocal styling as though by Butthole Surfers and
Electric Hellfire Club."

"something's moving underground..."

Pumpkin carving is a popular part of modern America's Halloween
celebration. Come October, pumpkins can be found everywhere in the
country from doorsteps to dinner tables. Despite the widespread
carving that goes on in this country every autumn, few Americans
really know why or when the jack o'lantern tradition began. Or, for
that matter, whether the pumpkin is a fruit or a vegetable.

People have been making jack o'lanterns at Halloween for centuries.
The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man
nicknamed "Stingy Jack." According to the story, Stingy Jack invited
the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack
didn't want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn
himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the
Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his
pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from
changing back into his original form. Jack eventually freed the
Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year
and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul. The next
year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick
a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of
the cross into the tree's bark so that the Devil could not come down
until the Devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years.

Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such
an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack
had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would
not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with
only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-
out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since. The Irish
began to refer to this ghostly figure as "Jack of the Lantern," and
then, simply "Jack O'Lantern."

In Ireland and Scotland, people began to make their own versions of
Jack's lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and
placing them into windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack
and other wandering evil spirits. In England, large beets are used.
Immigrants from these countries brought the jack o'lantern tradition
with them when they came to the United States. They soon found that
pumpkins, a fruit native to America, make perfect jack o'lanterns.


Pumpkins are fruits. A pumpkin is a type of squash and is a member of
the gourd family (Cucurbitacae), which also includes squash,
cucumbers, gherkins, and melons.

Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years.
They are indigenous to the western hemisphere.

In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St.
Lawrence region of North America, he reported finding "gros melons."
The name was translated into English as "pompions," which has since
evolved into the modern "pumpkin."

Pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and sodium and high in fiber. They
are good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, potassium, protein, and
iron.

The largest pumpkin ever grown was 1,140 pounds. It was grown by Dave
Stelts of Leetonia, Ohio, in 2000.

Pumpkin seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the
middle of June. They take between 90 and 120 days to grow and are
picked in October when they are bright orange in color. Their seeds
can be saved to grow new pumpkins the next year.

The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was 350 pounds and five feet in
diameter.

Here are some Halloween games:

1) Bat the Count: blindfold player and he/she tries to place a bat
sticker as close to the middle as possible on a vampire (Count)
poster.
2) Hide the spider: search for a hidden plastic/rubber spider.
3) Cryptkeeper Says: play like Simon Says, except Simon is the
Cryptkeeper.
4) Eat the Count: (need at least 8 players AND lots of vampire
cookies-- recipe in Parents October 1997 magazine -- the cookie
really looks like a vampire when completed)
PLAY: players sit in circle and go around the room saying I-one-it, I-
two-it, I-three-it, I-four-it, I-five-it, I-six-it, I-seven-it, I-
eight-it (I-ate-it). Whoever says I-eight-it gets to eat the cookie.
If play again, say I-one-it ... and so on  like before ... but player
#8 says I-eight-it again (or I-ate-it again) and gets to eat another
cookie.
5) Spirits Among Us: (need large area or outdoors game) Don't disturb
the Spirits. PLAY: divide into teams of runners and spirits. Spirits
hide in their graves until a runner(s) come(s) near. Then the spirit
tries to tag runner. The catch is that Spirits cannot leave their
assigned graves. Runners can go anywhere they want and leave the
graveyard at any time. Runners run until they are caught. If spirits
catch runner, they trade roles.
6) Magical Wheel of Candy: (need lots of candy, puzzle cards
(Example: CAT), wheel, AND someone to act llike Vanna White) PLAY:
play same as "Wheel of Fortune" TV show. Make a wheel that has spaces
for certain amounts of candy instead of dollar values. Examples: 1
piece of candy, JACKPOT: 5 pieces of candy, Bankrupt, Free Spin, and
Lose a Turn. To Buy a vowel, it cost 1 piece of candy. PLAY: one a
time, each player spins or closes eyes and points to a space. Then,
he/she guesses a letter in the puzzle. Player can solve the puzzle
whenever ready.
7) Grave Diggers: bury toy monsters in small plastic toy coffins in
potting soil (dirt). Give guests old paintbrushes or spoons to "dig"
with. Any monsters they find can be kept as prizes.
8) Morgue: (NOT intended for young children) DOA means Dead On
Arrival. PLAY: DOA lays on table. Cover DOA's body with white sheet
(except for head).  Person in charge of Morgue reads the case file.
Clues for identity of the killer and how the murder was committed
will be given. Before party, make clues. (I have provvided some clues
below). Divide into teams or play alone. Each team or individual
player must correctly guess identity of the killer.

Case File #1: Say DOA's name (if known), age, race, sex. Signs of
struggle are evident. Traces of dried blood under fingernails. 2
small bruises on neck. Eyes have a glazed over look, so I would say
she/he was in a hypnotic trance. Body completely drained of blood.
(After all clues are given, guests guess identity of killer)  (the
killer is a vampire)

Case #2: name (if known), race,sex. Signs of struggle. Clothes torn.
Fang marks all over body. Deceased looked as if attacked by a wild
animal. Hair fibers found under fingernails. We tested  hair fibers
and it is NOT human hair. Probably died between 9 and 9:15 on a night
with a full moon.
(KILLER: Werewpolf)

#3: name, age, sex. Signs of struggle. Water found in lungs. Probably
forced in water. Green fish scales found under fingernails. DOA
drowned.
(Killer: Sea Monster)

#4:  name, sex, age. Words "Curse of Death" carved in chest. Friiends
of deceased say that a powerful spell was put on him/her. Friends say
deaceased was last seen in the company of people who were wearing
pointy, black hats and riding brooms.
(Killer: Witch)

#5: name, race, sex. Body found behind trees in park. Blank
expression frozen on face. Body was cold and stiff. DOA went into
shock. I conclude DOA was scared to death. Friends say of deceased
say he/she was taken by surprise by someone very tall , very green, 2
large bolts in both sides of neck, and has a large square head
(killer: Frankenstein monster)

#6:  name, age, sex. DOA died in a Haunted House. Massive bleeding to
head. Head hit with sharp, blunt object. Struggled with attacker.
Friends of the deceased say he/she was startled by a large white
floating, shadow figure just moments before death.
(Killer: Ghost hit DOA in head with sharp instrument)

Hope this helps,
Batty Nikki

There's a man with a bald head and a wooden leg who gets invited to a
Halloween party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his
head and his leg so he writes to a fancy costume company to explain
the problem. A few days later he receives a parcel with a note.

"Dear Sir, please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted
handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you
will be just right as a pirate".

The man thinks this is terrible because they have just emphasized his
wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint.

A week passes and he receives another parcel and a note, which
says "Dear Sir, please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe
will cover your wooden leg and, with your bald head, you will really
look the part".

Now the man is really annoyed since they have gone from emphasizing
his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head and he writes the company
another nasty letter of complaint.

The next day he receives a small parcel and a note which says "Dear
Sir, please find enclosed a bottle of molasses. Pour the molasses
over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your butt and go as a
caramel apple!"

A woman whose husband often came home drunk decided to cure him of
the habit.

One Halloween night, she put on a devil suit and hid behind a tree to
intercept him on the way home.

When her husband came by, she jumped out and stood before him with
her red horns, long tail, and pitchfork.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm the Devil," she responded.

"Well, come on home with me," he said, "I married your sister."

Hi everyone,

I bought an Angel of Darkness costume this weekend. I have to wear it to work (I
work in a bank) and for a party. It has 3/4 sleeves with the long drapes at the
end, is floorlength and has an awesome skull cross choker with it. I'd really
like to complete the gothic look with makeup and possibly a long black wig (I
have medium length blonde hair). What kind of makeup could I get that would give
the pale look without getting the white clown makeup? I don't want to be that
white! I will have to wear it from 8 am to 7 pm at work on Halloween, and won't
really be able to apply it often. Any suggestions?

When you think of Halloween candy you think of candy corn, those
sugary little spikes of Halloween cheer. They've been around for as
long as I remember and even as long as my grandparents remember but
did you know that they were invented in the 1880's? Who the first
person to make these tasty treats was is unknown but the Wunderle
Candy Company of Philadelphia was the first to go into commercial
production. However, the company most closely associated with this
wonderful confection is the Goelitz Confectionery Company. Founder
Gustav Goelitz, a German immigrant, began commercial production of
the treat in 1898 in Cincinnati and is today the oldest manufacturer
of the Halloween icon.

Making candy at the turn of the last century wasn't the highly
mechanized, year-round activity it is today. Candy was manufactured
seasonally from March through November. Large kettles were used to
cook the basic ingredients of candy corn, sugar, water, and corn
syrup into a slurry. Fondant for smooth texture and marshmallow for a
soft bite would be whipped in. When the right consistency was reached
the hot candy would be poured into hand-held buckets called runners.
Each runner holding 45 pounds of the hot mixture.

Next, men called stringers would walk backward pouring the steaming
candy into trays of cornstarch imprinted with kernel-shaped molds.
Three passes were made, one for each white, orange, and yellow color.
A strenuous job at best before the days of air-conditioning and
electric fans.

All this strenuous labor wasn't lost on the tiny candy. It's tricolor
design was considered revolutionary for its time and people flocked
to buy them. Their shape was also a big selling point for the mostly
agrarian population of the early 1900's. So popular was candy corn
that companies tried other vegetable shapes including turnips. The
Goelitz Candy Company even had to turn orders down for lack of
production capacity.

Candy corn was originally sold in bulk containers like most foods
products of the time. They were packed in wooden buckets, tubs, and
cartons to be delivered by wagon and train over relatively short
distances. Perishability prevented widespread distribution.

During WWI, Herman Goelitz, son of Gustav, moved to Fairfield,
California to start his own company, the Herman Goelitz Candy
Company. Their product? Candy Corn! The fortune of the Halloween
treat would rise and fall many times as recession and boom, war and
peace, affected the humble confection. Throughout the hard times it
was the sale of candy corn that kept the companies afloat. In the
sugar crisis of the mid 1970's when the price of raw sugar
skyrocketed the company had to borrow heavily to buy sugar to keep
production up. After the crisis the market plummeted. Many companies
went out of business. It was demand for the candy corn that kept
Goelitz from bankruptcy.

Today you won't have to look very hard to find candy corn. Computer
and machine aided production have made them a plentiful staple no
matter what time of year. So plentiful in fact that according to the
National Confectioners Association, in 2001 candy manufacturers sold
more than 20 million pounds of candy corn. Roughly 8.3 billion
kernels! Very impressive for a product that has remained virtually
unchanged for well over 100 years.

Perhaps best of all, everyone can feel comfortable about enjoying
tasty kernel or two. According to the American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry, candy is no different than a slice of bread, bowl of
cereal or a cracker when it comes to causing tooth decay.  Any food
that contains sugar or starch can cause tooth decay – especially if
one doesn't brush and floss daily. So grab a bag of candy corn and
enjoy. Just remember to brush your teeth after.

On August 20th, 1973, police were dispatched to the remote farmhouse
of Thomas Hewitt, the former head-skinner at a local slaughterhouse
in Travis County, Texas. What they found within the confines of the
cryptic residence was the butchered remains of 33 human victims, a
chilling discovery that shocked and horrified a nation in what many
still refer to as the most notorious mass murder case of all time.
Wearing the grotesque flesh masks of his victims and brandishing a
chainsaw, the killer, known as "Leatherface," would gain infamy when
sensational headlines were splashed across newspapers throughout the
state of Texas: "House of Terror Stuns Nation – Massacre in Texas."

Local authorities would eventually gun down a man wearing a leathery
mask and declare they had their killer, which abruptly closed the
case; however, in the years that followed, many close to the grisly
murder case would come forward to level accusations that police had
botched the investigation and knowingly killed the wrong man.

Now, for the first time, the only known survivor of the killing spree
has broken the silence and come forward to tell the real story of
what happened on a deserted rural Texas highway when a group of five
young kids inadvertently found themselves besieged by a chainsaw-
wielding madman, one who would leave a trail of blood and terror that
would forever become known as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

New Line Cinema presents The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a terrifying
journey into a heart of unimaginable darkness as five young adults
are stranded in a rural Texas town, only to find themselves fighting
for their lives against Leatherface and his bizarre clan. Inspired by
the 1974 classic film of the same name, the new film stars Jessica
Biel, Jonathan Tucker, Erica Leerhsen, Mike Vogel and Eric Balfour.
Co-starring are screen veteran R. Lee Ermey, Lauren German, David
Dorfman, Andrew Bryniarski, Terrence Evans, Heather Kafka and
Marietta Marich.

Marcus Nispel, the mastermind behind many of the most powerful images
and story-telling themes in contemporary music videos and
commercials, makes his feature film directorial debut. New Line
Cinema presents in association with Michael Bay and Radar Pictures a
Platinum Dunes/Next Entertainment Production.

New Line Cinema will release The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (rated "R"
by the M.P.A.A. for "strong horror violence/gore, language and drug
content") in theaters nationwide on October 17th, 2003.
