Samhain, the Gaelic festival celebrating the harvest and the inception of the wintery 'darker' half of the calendar-year, celebrated mostly in Ireland, had found roots of pumpkin-and-goosebumps color in American Halloween seasons, for which I cast myself as a Michael Myers (Halloween horror-film antagonist/psycho figure of fiction/lore) 'copycat' figure in a Western small-town called Haddonfield (Selfie-like).



I decided to help Haddonfield put-together some iconic orange-lights display for the Samhain-roots season, in colored-reading of the Halloweentime ornaments-consciousness (for the Ego!). These lights of orange derivative would remind folks why that harvest-season colors-lens illuminated the dark-season aura of inventive earthen moods of the skies getting colder, ushering all to rush inside for pumpkin and soup (mmmm).



"My name's Sheila, and I read this guy's cyber-blogs, this 'Michael Myers copycat' Samhain-Halloween citizen-patriot reveler with orange-lights for Haddonfield ana harvest/hometown feelings of the Ego. However, I went the other way for the Autumn, in premonition for the Xmas and winter months (January, February). I thought about bloody-murder, anarchism, and the hellmouth(s) that came with Samhain/Halloween 'lore' for darkness and superstitions, of witchcraft and goosebumps, of sensual paranoia of the 3rd kind, and of simplified leviathan/uncertainty...and I decided to cast myself as a Pin-Up Girl (Strangers horror-series antagonist psycho supporting character) 'copycat' for social media view (ha)."



Wow, I read of Sheila's antics as this 'Pin-Up Girl' (Strangers fame!). I found myself oddly political with my Samhain/Halloween American pluralism folk-friendly view of harvest-season superstitions for shine/arts and pedestrian comment or ornament. I got myself a copy of Peter and Wendy (JM Barrie) and wondered if I was (somehow) Peter Pan, and Pin-Up Girl (somehow) had become Wendy Darling...for leviathan/uncertainty of the 3rd kind, of American Homeland inventions in everyday magic-hyperbole (for streets/culture chandeliers).



SHEILA: "Yum, creamy chocolate eggs for trick-or-treat and stranger-evasions."
ME: There's always a taste for inventive psychosis-renderings for Halloween!
SHEILA: "Michael Myers was Halloween-bound; Pin-Up Girl is so libertine."
ME: Well, Halloween and The Strangers may blend...into Christine (ha).
SHEILA: "Stay soft when thinking of the candyland of choices (always)."
