With the pandemic still trekking on, it’s important to keep yourself safe during the spooky season. Taking precautions, like washing your hands and wearing masks, will ensure you stay healthy and well. Many people are debating whether Halloween should be cancelled due to COVID-19. Corporations and businesses that rely on the holiday are hoping to keep the customs alive. Candy manufacturers, costume designers, and even the movie industry all look to Halloween as their big boom in business. The cancellation of Halloween will also impact the kids that see the day as a joy. In an interview with The New York Times, Dr. Gosh said, “I think completely taking away Halloween could be detrimental to some of the mental health issues that kids are facing right now.” Halloween is an outlet for kids to express their creativity and have some fun. This Halloween, the Centers for Disease Control recommend trick-or-treating be minimized and controlled. Wearing masks, gloves, and bringing hand sanitizer is the safest way to still go out, as well as staying six feet apart from other goers and setting candy bags outside to grab quickly.

  • Animated Stereotypes –
    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

  • Wicked Karnival October 2006
    INTERVIEW WITH NOX ARCANA by Josh Haney Wicked Karnival October 2006 Could you give us a brief history of how you got started? Who does what in the band? Joseph: I began my career as a gothic fantasy artist, selling posters, t-shirts and calendars of my work through my own company, Monolith Graphics, and by 1997, I had established a large audience in the gothic realm. In 1998, I came up with the idea of doing a Halloween music CD that would sound like a soundtrack to a gothic horror movie. I branched out and began producing gothic soundtrack music with another band, but we parted ways after two albums. William and I were old friends and we formed Nox Arcana in 2003. He was very enthusiastic about the project and within a few weeks, we were in the studio working on the initial tracks for Darklore Manor. We work on all of our music together, although I’m more of the composer and William is the better musician. I write the majority of the basic melodies then we work together to flesh them out to create more elaborate compositions. We mix every song together but William handles all the engineering and mastering. I develop the concepts and write the lyrics. I also create the artwork and work together Since 2003 Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski have been conjuring with Christine Filipak to design the CD the darkest realms imaginable, created solely through their musical packaging. project Nox Arcana, Latin for mysteries of the night. Over the course of five albums they have created their own genre of gothic horror How do you come up with your ideas? soundtracks, all the while amassing a loyal fanbase eager to let their William: A lot of our music has been collective minds eyes wander through the compositions that come inspired by Joseph's artwork.

    Beetlejuice the Musical Death is a part of life, and (mostly) for everyone except the Jumper, people experience it permanently at some point- Ooh, what’s this? Ha! Begging your pardon! Sorry to barge in! Yeah, I don’t care for all that bullshit, so, Jumper, do you wanna finally die? I mean if you want to be boring, I guess you could be a breather, but death is a whole lot more fun than that. If you’re going to be coming around here for ten years, you should probably take this to make it more interesting! +1000 CP Age and Gender Who cares! I mean honestly, I don’t care what you are! Pick any age or gender, hell pick even any sexual orientation or race, and maybe even go crazy choosing a religion. It’s your choice pal! Location and Time You start at the funeral of one Emily Deetz, with a grieving daughter who feels invisible and a daddy in denial. You may or may not be invited, but hey, who cares! Yes, this means that you can prevent the Maitlands’ deaths (who cares about their character development). Origins Are you a breather or a cool dude? Any Origin may be a Drop-In. Weird Adult (Breather) You’re a functioning adult, at least somewhat. You probably don’t believe in all that hocus pocus about ghosts, but you might have a guru named Otho. Namaste, you freakin’ poser. Gothy Teen (Breather) You may or may not have recently lost a parent, but you certainly obsess over death a lot.

The story itself is broken up into seven sections, each distinct with regard to style and content while maintaining a cohesive narrative with a unified plot. As the readers progress through the plot, they will also progress chronologically through the history of American Gothic. from the earliest work of Charles Brockden Brown up to the Postmodern style of Mark Danielewski. iv Dedicated to My Wife v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Bardine, for his openness to this unconventional project, as well as for the opportunity to discuss metal and attend shows with his students.
