The Spits - "Witch Hunt"

Ridiculous. Hilarious. Awesome. Classic punk rock from The Spits...

Coincidentally, this song was featured in Highbury's Halloween Punkcast Number 5, way back when. And you can STILL download all 6 that I put together right here!

 

Countdown To Halloween, 2013

31 posts in 31 days. Quite a commitment to the greatest holiday of the year! October is coming, and it's time to get serious. Highbury Cemetery will again be participating in the Countdown To Halloween, the annual blogfest celebrating the countdown to the best night of the year!

The new CTH badges are ready and this year's theme is one to tickle any sweet tooth's tastebuds - Monster Cereals!!! I'm ALWAYS a Frankenstein man, but my sweet tooth wins out this time, because we're going with chocolate!

The Count is in the house! The new menu badge to the right has been updated and it's time to start gathering new post ideas. Starting October 1, we'll again have Halloween prop how-to's, Cemetery Sundays, where I tour local cemeteries and post a wealth of photo inspiration for your haunt, and of course everyones favorite, Freebie Fridays, where I scour my record collection and post up something sweet to keep the party going all month long. If you want to get the party started early, why not grab some goodies from the Highbury's Halloween Punkcast series now?

Plus, we're celebrating 10 years of Highbury Cemetery as a yard haunt, so we'll probably have a few extra goodies for everyone as well.

See you on the 1st!
