Welcome one and all to a fun filled month of evening pipes enjoyed with a a scary tale or three.

My wife did her usual superb job of decorating the house which always puts me in the mood. Tonight I have my scarecrow meer with some C&D From Beyond with a glass of homemade wine:

Sit back, relax, and enjoy with me and please do post stories of your own you like here.

First is Darth Vader James Earl Jones:

Next is Dracula Christopher Lee:

And last, but not least, a whimsical version from the Simpsons:
