been giving for years — his plans in
clude a simple evening of trick-or
treating with his kids. It seems his
days of wild costume parties may be
behind him.
Crazy antics are not reserved for
Halloween for our foul-mouthed
guru Don Goldman, although he
does have one particularly memo
rable Halloween anecdote. Gold
man, who recently made headlines
for his “Fuck You” speeches at the
EMU Amphitheater, recalled a party
he held in a graveyard with his
friends. While the group was telling
ghost stories, someone stumbled
out of the bushes screaming. Gold
man said everyone ran.
“1 tripped on a grave and
whacked my head,” said Goldman.
It’s unknown whether the incident
had any long-term effects.
Duck defensive tackle Igor Ol
shansky, on the other hand, doesn’t
have many Halloween stories, given
that his prime trick-or-treating
years were spent in the Ukraine. Ol
shansky, 20, moved to the United •
States in 1989. He seemed more
than a bit confused as to why an
Emerald reporter would be waiting
to interview him after practice to
ask him about costumes and candy,
rather than bowl games and head
cracking. But he did his best.
“I remember my sister and I went
as doctors one year. That’s about it,”
Olshansky said.
Reigning SLUG Queen Cynthia
Beal — aka Queen Radia — said she
plans to celebrate with music.
“Queen Radia’s plans for Hal
loween are Legion, and slightly In
tra-Dimensional this year,” she
wrote in a stately e-mail, “involving
a trip to the Radiant Edge for a radi
cal concert on the Roots of Things.”
OK, so maybe that answer doesn’t
tell us exactly where she’s going or
what she’s doing, but it sure sounds
more interesting than chewing on an
old Tootsie Roll, doesn’t it?
Queen Radia said she enjoys
Halloween, “especially because it’s
the time when Eugene’s future
SLUG Queens are often glimpsed,
the first hints of their emerging
personae showing through cos
tume and theme.”
Her highness said these “queens”
will be out in full force.
“Sightings of future queens are
said to be especially auspicious, and
(the Queen) encourages all to keep
their eyes peeled,” she said.
According to Queen Radia, her
most beloved Halloween bygone
hasn’t even happened yet.
“Her favorite Halloween memo
ry — just last week, for she time
hops when appropriate — was the
Gastropod Ball, held at John Hen
ry’s in 2005,” she wrote, “when
everyone dressed as a SLUG
Queen, even the Mayor (who actu
ally won the previous year and was
truly a Dear Old Queen) and a
good time was had by all.”

kidnapped and mercilessly tortured
by an escaped convict and his
posse. This one makes “Texas
Chainsaw Massacre” look like a
Merchant-Ivory production.
Next, there’s Nicholas Roeg’s
“Don’t Look Now.” This is horror for
the art crowd, as “Don’t Look Now”
is more or less an exercise in photo
graphic creepiness. The movie is full
of symbolism and recurring imagery
in what amounts to a surreal night
mare picture.
Brian DePalma was one of the
leaders in American horror movies
during the 70s, his most famous be
ing 1976’s “Carrie.” But if you’ve
watched Sissy Spacek raise hell at
the prom and crave more telekine
sis, check out the director’s 1978
follow-up, “The Fury.”
Though it was dismissed at the
time as repetitive, “The Fury” has
moments of true cinematic power.
Amy Irving plays a teenager with
“mad-telekinesis” powers who goes
to a school to hone her talents.
Here, she locks into a psychological
connection with a former resident
of the school and, sensing he’s in
danger, ventures off to find him. The
movie stumbles at times, but has
one of the best death scenes ever
put on film.
We’ll end with a guilty pleasure. -
“The Bride of Chucky” isn’t exactly
obscure, but it is underrated. It may
offer more laughs than fear, but the
most recent entry in the “Child’s
Play” series is unique and highly
stylized, thanks to director Ronny
Yu. If you’re not quite ready for the
rest on the list, at least you can
watch Chucky get laid. What could
be more entertaining than that?

summer — there was a scene of her
playing Brown’s “Lord I Have Made
You a Place in My Heart.”
Reviews for the new album have
questioned the necessity of releasing
another live recording. But given the
political context in which many of
these shows took place — post-Sept.
11, 2001, America — it’s difficult to
see “So Much Shouting” being any
thing but live. While the new album is
not necessarily political, it came
about in the midst of political tumult
— the “We Believe In God-America
Trucks” picture on the album’s fold
out illustrates this nicely.
Good live performances have an
immediacy and actuality that a
studio recording doesn’t give. But
it doesn’t help to try to explain or
describe a poem such as “self evi
dent,” written shortly after Sept.
11, 2001. This has been posted on
DiFranco’s Web site since last year,
originally in draft form, and it has
been performed at her shows since
fall of 2001. It remains — and will
remain — poignant.
Regardless, there are also plenty of
great tunes. Those familiar with
DiFranco’s music might be annoyed
by the inclusion of some of the songs
from “Living In Clip,” but her views
on music can explain this better than
any critic could. In the liner notes,
she says “(It’s) an example of how
songs are living things; the same song,
like the same person, is a very differ
ent thing after five years. Or after five
minutes, it seems sometimes.”
Unlike “Living In Clip,” the venues
where the songs were played aren’t
listed. However, one track on the al
bum — “Loom-Pulse” from the “Girls
Singing Night” disc — was selected
from her July 9,2001, performance at
Cuthbert Amphitheater.
