So far in this short series, we have been examining the widespread mass hysteria-like phenomenon of demon-attack panics in contemporary African schools, but gullible children are not only limited to the Third World. Consider events in Houston, Texas, in 1983, when hundreds of schoolchildren (presumably of all races) became convinced they were going to be murdered by the Smurfs. (more…)

It’s Halloween season and so to honor the holiday, I thought it would be fitting to write about a horror movie. But which one? I’ve recently acquired an interest in the nostalgia catnip that is 1980s slashers. I could choose one of the landmarks or an overlooked curiosity of that genre. Or I could indulge the classic movie fan and go with one of the lesser-known gems from the early 1930s horror boom which turned Dracula and Frankenstein into the instantly recognizable faces they are today.

In the previous article in this series, we examined an illustrative selection of 21st century cases of alleged demonic persecution of staff and students alike throughout black African schools, many of which were blamed on witchcraft and sorcery.

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Who doesn’t love chocolate and pumpkin flavored everything? Halloween’s metaphysical tones always appealed to me even before I consciously identified as a blood-and-soil nationalist. It is a time of fiery foliage, fertile pumpkin patches, and intriguing mists, It is perfect for rereading a bit of Lovecraft or Poe. (more…)

I have always cherished the pretense of Halloween. Regardless of its pagan origins in Europe as a harvest celebration, the event I have always known presents an exciting chance for children to dress up and pretend, and for adults to play along. The candy and trick-or-treating is important, of course, but secondary, in my opinion, to the spectacle of it all.
