In 2003, Los Angeles-based artist Julianna “JP” Parr had the idea of creating an online Halloween countdown calendar with advent-like goodies every day. She recruited several artists to provide the content, and things kind of grew from there.<\/p>\n
Each year has a different theme, and this year is drive-in movies.<\/p>\n
Ever go to a drive-in movie theater? Well, that is this year\u2019s Gothtober theme. Driving along the highway in your convertible on a late summer evening, this sign beckons you to pull in, clip the speaker to your window, and get ready to see the spooky double-feature. Don\u2019t forget to swing by the concession stand for some popcorn and hotdogs!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Their press release says that some of the features this year are a piece by animator Billy Kheel, a recipe by SLO Cooking, Paper folding crafts from Lush Newton, an instructional movie from “Art of Bleeding,” and works from filmmakers Christine Panushka, Amy Lockhart, Lori Meeker and Barry Morse.<\/p>\n
The main Gothtober site is here<\/a>. It doesn’t kick off until October 1, but you can visit the archive<\/a> for a look at all of the pieces from past years. Also check out the Trick or Treat<\/a> page for some downloadable goodies.<\/p>\n
(Props to their Webmaster, who upon noticing that I complained last year<\/em> about not discovering the site until the end of October, dropped me a line last week to remind me that it was about to launch again. That’s service.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
