31 Days of Spook – Elvira Mistress of the Dark

31 Days of Spook can not be complete without having the original Mistress of the Dark – Elvira be included. Who can forget Cassandra Peterson playing the role of horror hostess Elvira? Va-va-va-voom is what this little oinker says – snorts.

We saw Elvira talking about horror shows coming on television but one of her greatest movies that I loved came out in 1988 with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. It’s spooky. It’s funny. It’s silly. There’s a scene with some pigs. It’s a great movie. Okay, I’m a guy pig – she has a great body. It’s out now. But it was still a great movie and I’m sure dad agrees 100%. Sorry mom – 🙂 snorts

There was an actual plot to this movie – not much of one, I give you that – but there was a plot. Elvira quits her job after an outburst of sexual harassment with the new station owner. hhmm – were you wearing that delectable little outfit? Could that be why he ‘hit’ on you? Just wondering – snorts.

Elvira finds out that she has been mentioned in her late great aunt Morgana’s will and heads off to her mansion in Fallwell, Massachusetts to start a new life. A new life full of secrets and a Bichon Frise dog who is not who it seems. A theatre is involved. PTA is involved – yep I snorted PTA. There’s even a Flashdance revision that is right up there with something to remember. Elvira is tied up and burned at the stake. It is really a memorable movie. What? You don’t remember this great movie? Never fear – and I know my guy friends will appreciate this – I’m attaching a clip for the movie. You’re welcome. Enjoy my friends! Hope I don’t scare you too much with this – snorts.  P.S.  When you watch the clip, see if you see any of my kind – snorts and oinks!

 

31 Days of Spook – I Got a Spell on You

Happy October my spooky friends.  Today is my first day of 31 Days of Spook.  I think Winifred from Hocus Pocus said it best with the attached song, “I Put a Spell on You“.  Evil snorts – that means you have to come back every day to see what kind of spooky things I have to post and share.  Now everyone sing along with me –

I put a spell on you and now you’re mine
You can’t stop the things I do, I ain’t lyin’
It’s been 300 years, right down to the day
Now the witch is back and there’s hell to pay

I put a spell on you and now you’re mine

Hello, Salem, my name’s Winifred, what’s yours?

I put a spell on you and now you’re gone
My whammy fell on you and it was strong
Your wretched little lives, have all been cursed
‘Cause of all the witches working, I’m the worst

I put a spell on you and now you’re mine
Watch out

If you don’t believe, you’d better get superstitious

Ask my sisters, ooh, she’s vicious
I put a spell on you, a wicked spell
I put a spell on you, sisters

Ah, say into pie, oppa mabey uppen die
Ah say into pie, oppa mabey uppen die
In kama koray, ah, ma
Hey, hi, say, bye, bye, bye bye

 

31 Days of Spook – Rear Ended – Oops

 

31 Days of Spook – Story Submission

Oh my sweet friends.  How are you holding up so far with my 31 Days of Spook?  Are you leaving the lights on at night yet?  Are you watching all of the shadows behind you?  Are you spooked when someone says hello to you?  Snorts – if you are, buckle up those seat belts because I’ve got a great scary story for you today.  This story was submitted by my friend Easy.  If you haven’t met Easy, please visit his blog and tell them that Bacon sent you.  Without further ado, here it is straight from Easy’s mouth – his horror story 🙂

“The Haunted Archipelago of Britanny or the Archipel des Glénan is located some miles westwards of my crib.

Because the whole area was subtropic once, the archipelago with 9 islands and a lot of dead coral reefs accrued there. There are Saint Nicholas, Loc’h, Penfret, Drenec, Guiautec,Quignénec, Bananec, Brunec and Cigogne. Some are inhabited, some are abandoned and some are occupied by sheeps – butt ALL are haunted. The reefs and rocks  and the the special drifts shall be the reason that many ships got lost there and a giant ships graveyard was built during the years. But the truth is, that this ships were sunken by La Groac’h de l’île du Loc’h, a witch who lives on the island Loc’h. She is the richest woman of the world, because she collected all the treasures from the ships she pulled to the ground of the sea. She is described as a beautiful girl what caught the sailors who lost their ships, butt in reality she is a  wild creature, as ugly as a baboons ass with snakes and algues in her hair and with giant fangs in her mouth.

Her home is at the bottom of a lake at Loc’h and it’s being said that this lake has a secret connection to the ocean where she is luring for her victims. Once in the clutches of La Groac’h you belong to her fur ever and ever…

and ever…. Maaaan, thanks Overlook-Twins, are you everywhere or what? Breeze off!

Because the bretons are practical thinking people, they built a chapel and a cemetery on Loc’h, where they buried the sailors who died in maritime disasters. That was much easier than to bring them to mainland, because they anyway landed at the island of La Groac’h.  And btw. the striped sailor shirts, called Mariniére or matelot ,  were invented there. Dating back to March 1858 French Navy-Wear Act when all mariners were required to wear a blue and white striped top in order to aid spotting and rescuing should they fall into the sea. The rules required 21 white stripes of 20 mm and 20/21 blue stripes of 10 mm and soon all sailors, particularly around the busy ports of Brittany were wearing it. The legend tells that every one of the 21 stripes stands for a victory of Napoleon… and the hole for the neck probably stands for Waterloo or what?  Butt anyway that’s the shirt what became famous in 1917 as Coco Chanel wore it with  widelegged pants.  Althought many designers and chainstores  copied that style , the  original  is made by ARMOR LUX, they are still in business and if you want to be prepared for all reasons what can happen at sea, you should get one.

Another island, called Cigogne has a fort, what was built in 1717 to safe the coast from pirates, dutchmen and brits. The fort was used by french troops and during the WWII occupied by germans. Today the island is used by the world famous Sailing School Les Glénans, but it’s totally haunted and during stormy nights you can hear the screaming and howling of the lost souls of the former residents. Sometimes a sudden mist comes up there and between the fog patches you can discover the praying arms of the lost souls who crave for salvation.

Till today the archipelago is a beautiful but dangerous area, every year the coast guards  find bodies of smart tourists or people from Paris who thought they can hop from island to island by foot during ebb tide. Some of them  end as the prey of  La Groac’h who is insatiable. Also many ships end there, from rubber-rafts  to  million-dollar yachts, La Groac’h knows no difference. Treasure hunters mostly land between their objects of desire or in jail, because the whole area is a protected reservate.

And the boast of some bathtub-captains and the special weather there, what changes within minutes without a warning, are La Groac’hs helpers… That’s very annoying for the coast guards who have to risk their lifes to collect the peeps who fidget in the creek after a sudden storm… and otherways their  Bouillabaisse, the traditional meal after a storm gets cold while they have to pick up that folks…and a cold Bouillabaisse is  totally NOT tasty, just saying…
