Halloween is a time of witches. Be nice to the witches in your community, and give them food and pills. And remember, the best way to help the arts community is to cook your local starving artist a healthy meal! They’ve probably been up all night talking to Cthulhoid entities, and can use the protein and vitamins!
NEWZ
-this list!
Expect it every week, on my patreon page! And for the first month of the Scene Spy, you can see it for free on the Witchworks website too! One more week left!
-patreon news!
Patreon is the coolest. Stee managed to get two Patreon patrons already, and it made her so happy she wrote an entire horror movie short! The dream is possible! You should go give her a dollar! I have a Patreon page too, but I’m not as cute as Stee is. But that’s where the secret possession videos go, and this list will soon live there as well…
-videos by us!
This week we’re most excited about what we’re writing and filming, and the support we’ve been getting!
I wrote two more Planetary Governor commercials today, for Vermin’s opponent Captain Titus, who is a much more well-connected planetary official, and may actually give us money! These commercials are going to be EPIC, I’m really excited about them. They’re going to have crowd scenes, vaporization, crushed babies and all the good stuff! Plus Vermin is amazing!
Stee got all excited about her first two people giving her a dollar that she wrote a whole sci-fi horror comedy short! It’s hilarious! She wrote another one a few days ago, and it looks like we’re pretty definitely doing something by Stee… this December or so? People like my videos that I wrote, but Stee’s writings deal with bigger, deeper themes and people seem to like them even more! So we are all psyched. Send Stee your dollar and let her know you believe in her!
Starting tomorrow I’ll be filming for my Patreon video about how I hope to help Boston’s art scene with horror ponies and gore comedy, so some of you ought to expect a phone call soon, as Tom Kenney and I will be visiting you for an interview about fax machines and stuff like that… Let me know if you want to be interviewed, I might not have thought of you yet…
And on November 9th we’ll be filming more of The Thing With No Face, with Steven Lawlor-Jones, Jaime Devine, and Farasha! Please ask the spirits to make it good weather for us…
-fan support!
We’ve also got a feature and a TV show we could do, but we need more encouragement! Watch our existing videos and comment on them! Tell us what you like! Subscribe to our Witchworks channel! Like Witchworks on Facebook! Like Earth Heart on Facebook! Check out the different parts of the Witchworks website, and leave comments! Go to our Patreon pages and check out the free stuff! Leave comments! Tell your friends about this list, and go to the events on it and have fun! Tell media outlets about us! Get interviewed for my Patreon video! Come to the Gilded Age Salons and meet people!
If you haven’t seen the videos Stee and I made for Tom Doesn’t Care, Ugly or NSA Song, check ‘em out on YouTube for free!
There SHALL BE MORE.

730pm 2014 Boston Halloween Bike Ride
Boston’s most anticipated, most fun, and SPOOKIEST bike ride is back, and this time it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. On Halloween Night we slither and crawl through the streets with jaw dropping costumes, ear popping tunes, and traffic stopping magnitude!
Meet at Copley Square at 7:30pm. (8pm departure)
We’ll ride for 10-12 miles at a costume friendly pace and land in Allston for an epic after-party at Wonderbar, where we’ll get freaky on the upstairs dance floor, or chill out in the downstairs lounge. We’re working on getting some free food & snacks for everyone so that we have enough energy to party all night (more on that later)
THIS is the ride you won’t want to miss, so be sure to invite all of your ghoulish friends, and start working on your costumes. COSTUMES!!!!!
ps.
Special thanks our friends Josh Zisson of Bike Safe Boston & Emily Thibodeau of Hub Bicycle Company for hooking us up with the funds needed to make the after-party a reality. Check them out. Seriously. They are pretty much the best people ever and they’ll fix all of your problems with a combination of bike know-how and hugs.
