Synchronicity is not a recent concept in the realm of pop culture, and has become quite well known with regards to the eerie pairing of The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. A long time ago though, I discovered an even more eerie pairing that synchronized in an unnerving fashion: The film Begotten and Marilyn Manson’s Antichrist Superstar…

Long ago, I stumbled across references to a film called Begotten. The images that I had seen online from the movie gave haunting and disturbing impressions. Curious, I began looking into the movie, and eventually watched the film. I was always interested in viewing challenging films, particularly those considered to be within the horror genre.

Every Halloween, when it comes to entertainment, most people immediately think of horror films…but what about music? Over the years many artists have attempted to bring the “shock” back into rock.

So, if you are hosting a Halloween party this year, here are some performers that will help you turn it into a heavy metal Halloween.

Every year, Geeks of Doom adopts a bat for Halloween and this year, we sponsored Boo2, an Egyptian fruit bat who was born at Bat World Sanctuary after his mother and older siblings were rescued from horrible conditions at a zoo. Boo2’s mom was pregnant with him when she was rescued and he was born a few months later.

The photos above are of Boo2 enjoying a Halloween treat – some pumpkin!

In honor of Halloween, consider Adopting A Bat from Bat World Sanctuary. There are several available for sponsorship, each with their own personalities and individual stories of triumph over adversity!

It’s fairly popular for some people to decorate their house for Christmas, and then synchronize the lights to blink along with music, creating a really cool effect.

What’s not seen as often is doing the same thing, only for Halloween…though it has been done before. And, after seeing this video, I’m thinking it needs to be done a lot more. The video, if you haven’t seen it, comes from a couple of years ago and shows a house with Halloween lights and decorations synched up with the song “This Is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas. There’s also a version using the Marilyn Manson version of the song.

You can check out both videos below.

Sure, I have my Darth Vader dress ready for Halloween, but it looks like the winner of the best Darth Vader costume has already been chosen, hands down.

The photos above and below are of a 3-year-old girl dressed in a fairy princess Darth Vader costume, complete with TIE Fighter wings and sparkly tutu.
