Best title of the day: “Victorian ectoplasm-producing mediums: freaks or fakes?”

• Letters from William Burroughs.

• A documentary on 50 years of The Phantom Tollbooth.  We wrote an essay on the book’s birthday as well.

• If your Halloween plans include watching Roger Corman’s series of Edgar Allan Poe films from the 1960s, maybe take a listen to this interview the director did with Edward Champion first.

• Or if you don’t have any Halloween plans, maybe you’re up for seeing Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain for Halloween at a museum?

• Or maybe you just want to sit around in a comfy chair and read The Morning News retell the endings of old scary stories?

• Also, if you’ve ever wondered what a Future Islands show looked like, here you go.  (Then maybe check out our Band Booking with them.)
