If You Have Ghosts...
Where shall we begin?
It's that time of the year again, Halloween. Everyone knows about costumes and trick-or-treating, but maybe too few know about the legends that began this holiday. It comes from All Hallows Eve, and during autumn time it is believed that this is when the veil between the world of the living and the dead was thin and sheer. You could easily wander between the two worlds and likewise, ghosts could too. So, to ward off malevolent spirits, wearing costumes and the practice of giving out candy was considered good luck.
The song is a cover song by the band Ghost, and I chose the 1931 film Dracula starring Bela Lugosi because to this day Bela's portrayal of Count Dracula is the most recognizable and has influenced countless other films.
It is uniquely his own, and can be imitated but not duplicated. You might not think that Bela's Dracula is scary, but personally I think it is quite frightening. Bela Lugosi managed to be charming, hypnotic and scary. In 1931, this was the first time audiences had seen Count Dracula and the image is still haunting. I encourage you to see the film, and to take note of the subtle and quiet moments. It's eerie.
Best wishes and Happy Halloween,
