Let the danse macabre begin.

Two red skulls face each other. A poem is superimposed over them. It reads:

"All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide,
With feet that make no sound upon the floors..."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Haunted Houses" (1858)

Daniel is my hero. He is also the person who gave me so much information when I decided to start #SpectreWatch my personal journey through the films of @spectrevision.bsky.social films.

It laid dormant for a year but I sent the next two entries to my editor.
