I am disappointed that I was not invited to, or participating in any superb owl parties this year. I wish to meet the greatest of owls, I am sure it would have been a big hoot.

Happy (afterlife) birthday to Brandon Lee, forever missed, never forgotten. While having a much more significant career beyond that of The Crow, I'll always remember him from it because it is one of my favorite movies of all-time. RIP, to a legend!

On this day in History, William Burke, was publicly hanged in Edenborough, Scotland in the year 1829.

Burke, was part of the duo serial killers, infamously known as thereafter as Burke & Hare. He partnered with William Hare, both of whom were Irish immigrants that murdered 16 people to sell for medical dissection. 12 of those victims were women, 2 were young adults, and 2 men.

On October 31 in 1828, Irishmen Burke and Hare took the life of their final victim, Margaret Docherty, at a guest house in Edinburgh.

On Hallow'een 1828, Margaret Docherty, a middle-aged Irishwoman, was lured into the Broggan Guesthouse in Edinburgh by Burke who pretended that she was a relative. Burke plied her with alcohol before fetching Hare to assist him in taking her life.

The following day, other guests returned to discover her body hidden in the straw at the end of a bed. While away reporting their discovery to the authorities, Burke & Hare quickly removed the body to Dr. Knox's for his medical school.

However, her blood-stained clothing was still under the bed. When the police and witnesses identified the body on one of Knox's medial slabs, a warrant was issued for Burke, Hare, and their wives.

It was said that on his ex*****on, the gallows were set on top of the mound, where et met with High Street, and that 35,000 people were in attendance.

The The Munsters TV series was so perfectly cast at the time.
To this day, knowing that Al Lewis went all-in on his "Grandpa" persona, even decades after it the show was canceled, amuses me quite a bit. He was such a delightful charmer.

Then you had Fred, who went on to write and illustrate children's books, that most people never knew existed.

I really do miss those early days of Chuck E Cheese when he was a cigar smoking, Italian-American New Yorker accent-speaking rat.
Now he is an unrecognizable mouse.

Memento Mori appreciation post:

Memento Mori images frequently feature death or his minions coming for an unwilling victim. For those that do not know, "Memento Mori" is a Latin phrase translating to "remember that you must die."

Happy Krampus Day!

The legend of the Krampus dates back centuries ago, originating as a German fakelore, that predates any modern Christmas tradition.

Beginning in early December, the children of Germany would begin to hear whispers of a dark haired creature bearing horns and fangs, carrying a bundle of birch sticks. Any misbehaved kids are beaten with birch branches or can disappear, stuffed into Krampus' sack and hauled off to his lair to be tortured or eaten.

Krampus' roots have nothing to do with Christmas. Instead, they date back to pre-Germanic paganism in the region. His name originates with the German krampen, which means "claw," and tradition has it that he is the son of the Norse god of the underworld, Hel.

During the 12th century, the Catholic Church attempted to banish Krampus celebrations because of his resemblance to the devil. However, Krampus endured and the legend lives on.

Here are some pages from Libris Ex Mortis, vol. 1 of the book of the dead; bound in flesh, inked in blood.... and I am 100% joking.

These are actually from the first edition of Jacopo Berengario da Carpi's --"Isagoge breves:" Perlucide ac uberime, in anatomiam humani corporis. (A short guide to the anatomy of the human body). Originally published in 1522.

It was the first anatomical work with a series of woodcut images to illustrate the text.

What is one of the oldest books you have in your library/collection?

Mine is Peter and Wendy.

Sadly, it's so old that the leather cover is peeling off, and the pages are overly tattered.
