This Halloween Season, the staff and students of Miskatonic University have put together a wonderful weird Haunted House Art Installation. Some folks are dying to visit, others can not get enough of the interactive display, while others are having trouble pulling themselves from the paranormal dark arts installation.
Video clip for the latest #mockART single "The Wind Is Still Whispering".
The track is an extended version of "The Whispering Wind" releases on a compilation album earlier this year. The single version should set the mood for autumn. It is also a somewhat spooky track, so it is appropriate music for Halloween and other occasions when you like something spooky.

“From Time’s Black Vault”
“God of Evil Paradise”

Something special for this Halloween season Finlay Friday the 13th! In addition to his stunning artwork, Virgil also wrote the occasional poem. However, the only one published during his lifetime was in the final issue of the original run of Weird Tales, September 1954, with his own illustration. #FinlayFriday
Virgil Finlay illustration for the 1919 H.P. Lovecraft story "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" for it's reprint appearance in the March, 1938 issue of Weird Tales. It was later inscribed and gifted to another giant, "To A. Merritt, a master of fantasy. From Virgil Finlay"
Virgil Finlay illustrating Fletcher Pratt's "The Conditioned Captain" from Startling Stories, May 1953. The original page ran vertically but I feel it looks better horizontally.
Virgil Finlay illustrating A. Merritt's classic novel "The Face in the Abyss" reprinted in Famous Fantastic Mysteries, October 1940. See the #AltText for more.

Gums by Poe:
The Masque of the Red Death - great for parties, it will spread like a plague
The Cask of Amontillado - well aged, packaged to look like small bricks in a wall
Nevermore - the last gum you will need
Pass me another S'more, and I'll tell you the tale, 'Dig me no Grave'. You know the weird guy, Roberty-Howard, in the Faxing Department? He says this tale is based on a real incident from way back when.
Virgil Finlay interior illustration for "...As Others See Us" by Raymond F. Jones published in Fantastic Adventures, May 1951. Jones is best known for his 1952 novel "This Island Earth" which was adapted into the 1955 film. #FinlayFriday
#FinlayFriday meets #MerMay
Virgil Finlay preliminary cover design for the July, 1948 issue of Fantastic Novels, which the editor rejected in favor of this basic Lawrence Stevens woman in peril by blue meanie cover. Unbelievable.
