NEW YEAR'S EVE IN A HAUNTED HOUSE: 2024 INTO 2025 EDITION!!!

Hmmmm…. Father Time is kinda’ scary, isn’t he?

Speaking of time, I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for making the past few years so much fun for me. Thank you to all those who have tweeted about my blog, chosen to “follow” the blog, have left comments on posts and told others about the project. I am especially grateful to all the blogs, podcasts, and websites who have publicized this wacky endeavor over the years.

Special mentions for 2024 go to author, film historian, and 3-D film preservationist Bob Furmanek for having me edit and contribute scripts for the soon-to-be-released ROBOT MONSTER COMICS IN 3-D, and comedian-actor-singer-film historian-author Nick Santa Maria and Jerry Sciarro for having me appear as a guest on their ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE PODCAST show to discuss HOLD THAT GHOST! Both Bob and Nick have written superlative books on Abbott & Costello that I encourage you to seek out, and are both swell gents, so I am truly honored and greatly appreciate their kindnesses. You can listen to the above-mentioned interview by clicking on the highlighted link above.

Most of all, there's no blog without you readers out there so thank you to ALL SCARED SILLY FANS!

It goes without saying that the past few years will go down as one of the most challenging times in history for the majority of us. My hope is that no matter what you’ve gone through or what you’re going through, you have a support system to turn to, for to have friends and family help you through such times as these is a blessing indeed... and in all cases, we all should just be loving each other. If enough of us go forth each day with love in our hearts, I am confident the year 2024 will end on a positive upswing, an upward trend from all we’ve endured the past four years. So... love.

As always, it wouldn't be New Year's Eve here without Vagabond Opera performing “New Year’s Eve in a Haunted House,” composed by avant garde jazz legend Raymond Scott, the man behind many of the melodies heard in Looney Tunes cartoons - enjoy everyone in your life and all your blessings as you enjoy your New Year's Eve!
