319: And the Call Was Coming from the Basement For Halloween, scary stories that are all true. Kidnappings, zombie raccoons, haunted houses—real haunted houses!—and things that go "EEEEK!!!" in the night. Plus, a new story by David Sedaris, in which he walks among the dead. Prologue. Host Ira Glass and Albert Donnay read a true ghost story that appeared in a medical journal in 1921. After a "Mrs H" and her family moved into an old rambling house, strange apparitions started appearing...until her brother-in-law figured out the real cause of the ghostly presences. (6 minutes) Act One. The Hills Have Eyes. Some of the scariest stories happen when fluffy, innocent creatures turn murderously evil. This American Life producer Alex Blumberg tells one such story, about a raccoon gone bad. (11 minutes) Song: "Evil," 45 Grave Act Two. The Hitcher. Writer Bill Eville and his brother are picked up late at night on the side of the road...and not taken to their destination. (9 minutes) Act Three. And the Call Was Coming from...the Listeners! Weeks ago, we set up a special 800 number for listeners to call with their true-life scary stories. Over five hundred people called. We hear a sample. The scariest stories we got all had one thing in common. (9 minutes) Act Four. Graveyard Shift. One Halloween, David Sedaris decided to skip all the fake monsters and ghosts and zombies and visit the real thing: dead people. In a morgue. (14 minutes) Song: "The Boogie Monster," Gnarls Barkley

The Perfect American

I was looking for an image From The Silencers (it's on this week) and I found some images at this site. Later, when checking my Technorati stats, I discovered that this guy favorite d me.....spooky! So I went back for a second look.... and fell into the vortex of his mind. This is a special experience if only for it'sobsessiveness and pathological imperfection. It's broad and deep and weird and to put it in his words: craunchy. KNSFW

Bientôt Halloween, un récap des tenues sexy de Paris Hilton

Halloween, tout le monde connaît cette fête comme celle où on fait peur aux enfants, où on frappe à la porte et demande des bonbons, où on se raconte des histoires de fantômes, etc. Pour Paris Hilton, s’est surtout l’occasion de se déguiser, euh…déguiser ou s’habiller normale ?

Alice au pays des merveilles, militaire, policière, ou simplement en lingerie, Paris Hilton profite chaque année d’Halloween pour s’exhiber davantage qu’à son habitude. Elle écume alors chaque année les fantasmes masculins, mais alors, quel sera-t-il cette année ?

Rollers of the week:

1. The American who has reached the border states of consciousness, he went for a beer in a supermarket, but mostly wandered in other spaces, trying to get back on their feet. And still won. Strong sight!

2. Another young American decided to while away a boring evening at the hotel in the company of his beloved flute and ushered in a new musical genre. Hussars, be silent!

3. Sasha Gray is known to many, if not all. But after this episode it becomes apparent that it is primarily an actress, and only then - the porn ...

4. The fashion for gay divorce is gaining momentum and moves from the U.S. in friendly Ukraine. A local media to help them in this. Well, we also do not stay away ... :-)

5. And this is the worst movie of the week. Sensational in the world history of an Australian mother and her baby-lucky, escaped from the train - as it was.
