In less than a week’s time, my website and blog will be overtaken by the spirit of Halloween. The wind will howl. The leaves will crackle. Ghosts and goblins will practice their terror with ghoulish delight. My ghastly goal is to produce one petrifying post each day as we count down to All Hallows’ Even.

I’m participating in this countdown with a bunch of other bewitched bloggers. Countdown to Halloween will have a list. It will be…

… a tomb of dread, a virtual cornucopia of amazing stories, photos, comics, reviews, crafts, toys, songs, radio plays, jokes, and general commentary on a holiday that a lot of us hold dear.

Get involved, foolish mortals.

Visually inspiring is the game Aion. I played the open beta last week and this screencap is from a gameplay cutscene where your character gets wings and the ability to fly. Gorgeous character models, but the gameplay was nothing new. I’ll pass for now.
