Danse Macabre
What better way to usher in the final countdown to Halloween than a full moon and Fearsome’s favorite performance of Camille Saint-Saëns Dance Of Death? There simply isn’t a better way.
We almost never post Youtube videos that don’t allow playback here and require you to click over to YouTube. However this one well worth your time to click over and immerse yourself in. It is stunning. Even more impressive is that these are students, not professional musicians. It moves us to tears with is beauty. Enjoy.

John Carpenter – Halloween – 1978 – Opening Scene
A true horror film. I was but a teenager and Fearsome was but peach fuzz, however we got to experience this classic the week it was released in 1978 with 5 other friends in a movie theatre with a full house. It was a most unforgettable adventure. An adventure that one never fully recovers from.

The set, the make up, the costumes and the amazing talent all add up to the fabulousness that is Broken Peach.
