Haunted Air

Ossian Brown was a member of the dark, magical electronic music group Coil and is currently in Cyclobe, a duo with his partner Stephen Thrower. Ossian is a strange attractor. Weird things find him. Like his exquisite collection of antique vernacular photographs of Halloweens past. Brown compiled his favorites of the freaky found photos, all dating between 1875 and 1955, into a lovely new book titled Haunted Air. David Lynch wrote the introduction and Geoff Cox the afterword. Here is a glimpse of how the old, weird America celebrated All-Hallows Eve.

Some of those old masks are seriously freaking creepy. Is the little kid in the jester outfit carrying a severed head?!

I really love the last pic, the little girl's pose is just perfect.

Okay, everybody sit around as kinch tells yet another story that nobody gives a damn about.

I was sick and couldn't make a halloween party. It was at the clubhouse of a condo place. Anyway, my friend dropped by and made me suck it up, but I had no costume. I did have duct tape. I covered my body in the tape, and used an apron covered in duct tape as a cape, threw on some goggles, and was duct tape man. I had the chest emblem and everything in under an hour.

Well, later, at the party, I realized a flaw. Kegs of beer were flowing and I didn't include a "release valve" into my costume. There were no scissors in the place but luckily someone found a knife and I had four people frantically trying to cut a hole by my penis. Ah, good times.

Also, the amount of sweat you have when dancing and covered in duct tape is pretty amazing.

Today. In New Orleans. Skull and Bones gangs with paper mache heads go out at dawn and knock on doors. Love that shit...great look. A buddy of mine and I are working on our heads so that we can mask this way this year.
