#DayoftheDead - In Etruscan mythology, Charun was known as the "Demon of Death" who guarded the entrance to the underworld. He is characterised by a heavy hammer, a hooked nose and pointed ears. He would strike the deceased on the head with his hammer to ensure they were truly dead.

In Greek mythology "Harpies" were a combination of bird and woman who were terrifying spirits of storm winds. In "Fashions of 1934" they were a figment of the wild Pre-Code imagination of one Busby Berkeley.

Late Night Clyde Caldwell 🌙 Nobody painted a beautiful woman in the middle of an impossible adventure quite like Clyde Caldwell. And nobody made you want to climb right into the painting faster. Tonight’s beauty is Llana of Gathol. A Martian princess, a sky full of warships, and just enough clothing to keep the censors guessing. Pure Edgar Rice Burroughs, with that unmistakable Caldwell magic. Clyde didn’t just illustrate fantasy worlds. He made you wish they were real. Sweet dreams, everyone.

Around this time of year, 100 years ago, Lovecraft wrote 'The Silver Key'. It reintroduces his self insert, Randolph Carter, who will be seen again in Dream-Quest. Pictured is page one of the typed manuscript which is available in the Brown University's digital archive.

CORPSE KEYS There are Victorian graves with doors to which only the corpse has the key. Fears of being buried alive led to doors being fitted already locked over (or at the front of) the grave after burial, the key left in the hand of the corpse inside #31DaysOfHalloween
