There is a bootleg DVD of a whole mess of Warner Brothers Halloween cartoons in one place. Not that I would endorse a bootleg. But until WB gets its act together, check this out.
Nosferatu, the Crown Prince of scary movies, is available for free! Public domain and everything! Just download and shiver with creepiness.
I only live in Massachusetts. I accept no blame for what goes on here.

I hope everyone already knows about the Halloween contest over at Journey Round My Skull! Submit your entries early. This will be magnificent.
Marc Craste, the brains behind Jo Jo in the Stars and the Pica Towers series, has a new short out called Stuck on a Sunday. You can see some of it at the Studio AKA site (it's a Flash site - click on the Stuck on a Sunday bit on the lower left). Great atmospheric animation as always from MC MC!
These works of art were commissioned to be *permanently* installed in a new school/kindergarten building. What?! All I had in my kindergarten was a water fountain and some beanbag chairs!
Afanasy Nikitin was the first Russian to explore India, which he wound up doing in about 1466.
In history books you will find very little about his dealings with the Shuisky sisters, or Alnus Rugosa, or Das Brick, because I made them up.
Ali Qushji and Perkin Warbeck and Jami the Persian Poet were real people, who sadly never really had anything to do with Russia or Afanasy Nikitin. The Kreml, while a real place, was probably not as fun as it appears herein.
So abandon all pretence of learning about historical Russia, ye who enter here.
