Favorite movies – halloween

/ mobius faith

So I’m sure we all have different tastes.  But here are some of my favorite movies to watch as halloween approaches each year.   Running the gamut from musical to silent I tend to like the more “nontraditional” films.   Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy yadda yadda yadda just more over-used characters.   So without further adieu in no particular order Here’s my 10 favorite movies to watch for Halloween.

THE CROW directed by Alex Proyas

F.W. Murnau’s NOSFERATU

4 haiku on death by suicide

/ mobius faith

Living, one’s own terms
no judgement for suicide
Dying, ones own terms

********************

Sweet Sweet Suicide
The last exit from life’s stage
Stigmata of choice

********************

On a high blue bridge
She jumps, flying toward the earth
Releasing all cares

********************

It takes great courage
To take the reigns of death
There’s no mortal sin

yet 3 more haiku on death & dying

/ mobius faith

No more dreams to live
Heart stops, brain ceases, life ends
A cold grave welcomes

*********************

Freedom on the wind
A bird will fall from the sky
Its heart beats no more

*********************

And when the end comes
Can there be beauty in death?
Flowers in the snow

3 more haiku on death & dying

/ mobius faith

Ending transitions
Matter to anti-matter
Life turns into death

********************

Flesh will decay fast
When life is present no more
Bones will decay slow

********************

Circumstance unknown
I know neither time nor place
When death comes for me

3 haiku on death & dying

/ mobius faith

When death comes to call
Alone I will fade and fail
remembered no more

************************

When the body dies
Software will be deleted
And hardware destroyed

************************

Autumn to Winter
All life has been drained away
Dry leaves in the fire
