A Visit to the Market of the Macabre

by

Yesterday, Vienna, a few of our friends, and I were lucky enough to make it out to the annual Market of the Macabre at Laurel Hill Cemetery. The following video chronicles our adventures. While the video is presented sans narration or explanatory text, I did, however, write a score for it — a ten minute score.

Halloween Singles 2025

Well, it’s that time of year again! Every year for the last …um…two years I’ve released new tracks in celebration of Halloween. Last year I released Tales From The FrankenCartridge and this year I’m releasing the originally titled Halloween Singles 2025.

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Nine: The Nightmare (2015)

by

By now I hope you trust my taste in Horror films enough to believe me when I tell you that one of the most disturbing Horror films that you will ever see is, in fact, a documentary.

Much love to Rodney Ascher (the other Rodney A.) for crafting a flick that actually sent chills down my spine. What starts off as a study of sleep paralysis shifts gear when the participants begin to discuss “The Hat Man”. 

Good luck getting to sleep.

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Eight: Twin Peaks: The Return. Episode 8 (2017)

by

Gotda light?

We touched upon Atomic Age Horror yesterday, so I wanted to take a minute to tip my hat to one of the scariest things I’ve watched in the last decade: episode 8 of “Twin Peaks: The Return”. What this episode lacks in dialogue (it goes for nearly a half hour without a single word being spoken) it more than makes up for in disturbing imagery.

This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.
