Happy #BatmanDay to all who celebrate. Some year, I will return to the ways of my ancestors and celebrate as they did: sacrificing a clown to Barbatos, the Bat Demon of Gotham.

I love the annual Market of the Macabre at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philly. But it would be even better if it weren't 80+ degrees and everyone was in black.
