Halloween Symbols – Orange and Black The colors meet at the intersection of life and death
The Halloween colors of orange and black are so prevalent throughout the season that we may not even realize they are symbols. And yet not only are orange and black symbolically powerful individually, but they also form a yin/yang duality representing the connection between life and death. They are also a reminder that Halloween has always served a dual purpose as harvest festival and festival of the dead.

John Lennon, Rosemary’s Baby, and the Ghosts of the Dakota It's Spook City on the corner of Central Park West and 72nd Street in NYC
The Dakota building, located at the corner of Central Park West and 72nd Street in New York, is probably better known to horror aficionados by another name.

SUPERNATURAL: THE COMPLETE ELEVENTH SEASON on Blu-ray/DVD Catch up just in time for Season 12 premiere
The 23-episode season begins with the introduction of The Darkness/Amara (Emily Swallow). While that storyline never quite works for me, there are several standout episodes. “Baby” (11×4) is shot from the point-of-view of the Impala, “the most important object in the universe” (5×22). “The Vessel” (11×14) highlights Misha Collins’s turn as Lucifer when Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) and his brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) discover that Castiel has been possessed. “Safe House” (11×16) flashbacks in time to share a case from the files of Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) and Rufus Turner (Steven Williams) as the Winchesters hunt the same monster. “Hell’s Angel” (11×18) gives us Dean trying to save Castiel from Lucifer.

Ed Gein – One of the Oddest, Most Notorious Killers in American History Is he also the most misunderstood?
What would you say if I told you that Ed Gein, the man who inspired the characters of Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs), Norman Bates (Psycho) and Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) wasn’t a serial killer at all? Chances are you’d say I was crazy and just defending a fellow Wisconsinite. But the FBI defines the term “serial killer” in the following way: A serial killer is a person who murders three or more people, usually in service of abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant break (a “cooling off period”) between them.

Haunted History of Pennhurst Asylum Over time it became a warehouse for society's unwanted
The Pennhurst State School and Asylum, originally called the Eastern Pennsylvania Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic, was authorized for construction in 1903. It was conceived as a state-funded and operated facility, to house any individual deemed “feeble-minded,” and thus unable to function in normal society. This included physically and mentally disabled persons; individuals with “abnormalities,” physical or psychological; and mute, deaf, and blind people. It also included those with “offensive habits” and “imperfect speech.” When admitted, patients were classified physically as either imbecile or insane; classified mentally as healthy or epileptic; and classified dentally as having teeth either good, poor, or treated.
