Title sequences don’t get much better than this one for The Devil Rides Out / The Devil’s Bride. As always, Hammer gives a master class in vibes. #31DaysofHalloween

Happy 10/13! 👽 Recently dug up artifacts from my first job: editor-in-chief of The X-Files Official Magazine for Twentieth Century Fox. I’ll create a more elaborate video soon. Once I realized the date, couldn’t pass up the opportunity for this little ditty. #31DaysofHalloween

If Bela Lugosi capitalized on his Dracula fame by opening a hipster art cafe and releasing a collection of antisocial beat poetry set to krautrock, this would be the album cover (followed by a few gatefold insets). #31DaysofHalloween

The kids at the local community center designed this “scarecrow” for Forest Park’s annual Invasion of the Scarecrows. And he’s the cutest! #31DaysofHalloween

Yes. Yes, I do consider this a makeover. Doesn’t everyone aspire to be a Spandex Demon? #31DaysofHalloween

Just hangin’ on the set. Reading a paper. Sipping tea. Having a smoke. Chillin’. No biggie. #31DaysofHalloween

Richard Butler, man. The swagger! Dude’s all over the stage, dropping into squats like he’s not pushing 70. I hadn’t seen the Furs since 2012. Didn’t know what to expect. Lived up. And the colors in the light show, too! Sublime.

If Frankenstein’s monster was a brooding post-punk musician who, after years of feeling misunderstood and suffocated, ditched his bandmates to record a collection of introspective, “suffering artist” dirges and thinly veiled diss tracks, this would be the album cover. #31DaysofHalloween

The amount of passion Gary Numan puts into his performance… Guys, seriously. You must experience this. It’s rapturous.

For Anne Rice’s birthday, here are some quotes from the Q&A interview I did with her for Wicked in 2000, when she was promoting Merrick. #31DaysofHalloween

Every few years, I bust out my DVDs and give this a rewatch.

After I saw Labyrinth, I so badly wanted a goblin friend. I actually designed one. Named him Rayitees. And I’d draw him everywhere. He kinda looked like the last one you see in the video. #31DaysofHalloween

So many of the visuals in this film are deeply and delightfully deranged. #31DaysofHalloween

Highlights from The World of Hans Zimmer: A New Dimension. What an absolute spectacle. One moment, my heart would soar. The next, I was mesmerized. Then cheering, laughing. Such great energy. And extraordinary talent across that stage.

Totally forgot about his Peter Weller joke in this. More meaningful after recently reading an interview with Weller in which he cites Adam as inspiration for his portrayal of Buckaroo Bonzai.

Sunday agenda: 1. Stay away from news, 2) Enjoy beautiful things.
