Hallow Weekend

I am posting this on Black Friday. The Blog calendar may say differently... but who are you going to believe.
I've always celebrated Black Friday, as the last Friday night before Halloween. Black Friday may be a tradition I invented myself, but I celebrate it none the less.  This year I celebrate the holiday in the social media world. Consider the following a form of digital Halloween decorations.

BELOW IS A FILM DEPICTING
THE PARANORMAL AND UNEXPLAINABLE
 NO CLAIM IS MADE AS TO THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS VIDEO.
IT IS PRESENTED AS THANKS AND APPRECIATION
TO THE  16 TWIAS REGULAR READERS ASSOCIATION.
AND ESPECIALLY... WHENDOVESCRY.
WARNING: THIS HALLOWEEN FILM IS PRESENTED FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. IT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR ENHANCED IN ANY WAY.
VIEW WITH CAUTION. 

Nothing jumps at you and there are no screams in the sound track. I don't care for video's like that. They get you watching a car commercial and a zombie screams at you. That is not this film... or is it... This is not that film. Either way, this is an art film not a parlor trick.
SECONDARY WARNING: if my sister is reading this, DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. Just so you know, FBFF, this film is my interpretation of the "Old Man with a Beard" game we used to play.  I think you remember. I thought it was a game, you thought there was an old man in a beard outside trying to get in the house and kill us. What a fun brother I must have been for you. I am told you were but the first of many children who didn't understand the nature of my spook show mentality.
For me this brings back memories of making Halloween Scarecrows in the back yard of  our house in Abernathy, Texas. We might agree as to the memories, but I don't think we would agree on the "type" of memories they are. I can see how you and I might share different views on the value of the following film.
For the rest of the 16  TWIAS regulars, this is an illusion I normally display at Halloween, seasonally like the Christmas tree. The ghost's menacing gaze seems to follow you around the room. It is more frightening when you see it live.

More Halloween film to come... For now...
As you were,
Jay

Thank you for the warning (and that reminds me I am still awaiting reimbursement for all the therapy I have needed.) But since we are 1400 miles apart at the moment, I felt it would be safe to view this. I love it! Please plan to create one for my display next year. Love you FBFF and love our Halloween bond!
