Another chilling horror/mystery tale that everyone should read at least once before they die (a qualifier I choose just to get us into the Halloween mood:) is "Two Bottles of Relish" by Lord Dunsany.

An eerily written little story. "13 Ghosts" is also a campy favorite (along with the "Haunting of Hill House" just for Vincent Price. Of course, they're doing a remake of that now). Housemate gave us all a surprise weekend in Disneyland last summer for the 30th Anniv. of the Haunted Mansion. Aside from a very special midnight ride in the mansion and a few other fun things they had the original Imagineers (many now in their 70's and 80's) as guests for a remembrance performance. They shared their ideas on how they came up with the spooks and things for the house. Walt wanted the house to look pristine on the outside so as not to give a 'dirty' image to the park but their imagination could run wild inside. They spent a year watching scary movies and reading ghost stories (I want this job) and one of the best sources, they said (at the time, of course) for good haunted house 'tricks' was the movie "13 Ghosts". Second was "House on the Haunted Hill". They really wanted that skeleton in the acid bath but had to go with spooks popping out of trunks. Deborah PS: Carol, there is an entire of volume of ghost stories written by Edith Wharton. They are all excellent, my favorites are "Pomegranate Seed" and "All Souls".

Subject: A Wilde photograph?
Some time back I recall a discussion of a photograph purportedly showing
Oscar Wilde, in drag, acting out the part of Salome. This photo appears
in Richard Ellman's biography, which by itself might be seen as a mark of
authentication, and yet the gist of our discussion was that the photo is a
fake. Does anyone remember this, or am I just going bonkers?

Subject: Re: Nominations
Way back in the 1970s I read through all the ghost stories I could find,
especially those of the Benson brothers, James, etc. One that struck me
enough to linger all this time was "The Dust-Cloud" by E. F. Benson from
_The Room in the Tower_ (1912). Before looking it up just now, I
incorrectly remembered the title as "Dust". I'm almost afraid to reread
it
in case it is not as good as I recall.
Speaking of the Bensons, does anyone remember the name of the story
were the ghosts were the souls of aborted children? Some controversies
live forever.

My son-in-law remembers his >grandmother reading this to him and his sister. It scared them. We raised >our daughter on Belloc's CAUTIONARY TALES!) >There are several Struwwelpeter websites.) I think STRUWWELPETER was one of the major causes of World War II. Nor am I the only person who thinks so. I'd pay $25 NOT to go to this conference -- fortunately I don't have to, Carol!
