mood music

It's just getting dark on Halloween night, so I put in the DVD of Nosferatu complete with the haunting original organ soundtrack. I like the movie more each time I see it--the melodramatic young lovers, the werewolf frightening the horses, and the wagon quickly darting away from the creepy castle of Count Olaf. The vampire himself is about to make his first grand entrance when suddenly the organ music is drowned out by "I'm a little teapot."

Halloween is far more interesting as a parent--both less and infiinitely more frightening.
