Florida at Gator Land ten five no night hours. I

51
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.240
guess you don't want to be in the dark with

52
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.680
there's a gater nearby. A new spooky event has landed

53
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.520
at Pittsburgh's Frankie Pace Park. It is the Steel City

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.800
Spooky Market. Stands following a Halloween aesthetics selling witch hats,

55
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.240
homemade love spells, and spiritual crystals. If you can't make

56
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.960
it to Pittsburgh, howbout in Tacoma, Washington, there's the Haunted

57
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.960
Farmer's Market. The Pittsburgh people say they wanted to bring

58
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.800
something like that to Pittsburgh, where it's Halloween year round

59
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.479
instead of just in October. The market is open every Saturday.

60
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.599
You can do whatever you want with your stand, but

61
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.840
you're highly encouraged to go Halloween, which makes sense. This

62
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.199
year they started the Halloween market in August. The organizer says,

63
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.680
next year, I'm planning to go from March to October.

64
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.000
It's not just a spooky market in October, it's a

65
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.199
spooky market in March, it's the middle of June. You

66
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.120
can find a year round and honestly, it's got a

67
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.479
lot of support from the community. That sounds fun. All right,

68
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.319
before the Christmas music takes over your radio, how about

69
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.000
Halloween music. The folks at Iowa Public Radio have made

70
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.159
a list of some Halloween songs and it's not just

71
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.159
monster mash and Thriller. They have some other underrated tracks.

72
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.960
They suggest Surfing Dead by the Cramps, Dougie Fresh's and

73
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.039
the Get Fresh Crew Spirit that's from Ghostbusters too. I

74
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.120
don't remember that one. How about the Cure is Lullaby?

75
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.360
I never liked the Cure? Girard Way's Baby ere a

76
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.160
Haunted House. Girard is the front man from my chemical

77
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.680
romance ministries. Every Day is Halloween and that's a good

78
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.240
title and it does double duty as a goth anthem.

79
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:35.639
The Crystals, Frankenstein Twist Green Lungs, Maxine Witch Queen. That's

80
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.839
a heavy metal song, Twin Temples, Satan's a Woman, bat Furlashes,

81
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.120
