1. Do you know about alien hand syndrome? In alien hand syndrome you are convinced that one of your hands is not your own—because the hand acts that way. Watch out for your own hand trying to strangle you.

2. The James Ensor exhibition is gone from Seattle Art Museum, but he's the great man of every Halloween. Did you know that he painted masks so obsessively in part because they were a huge part of his childhood? His mother owned a shop that sold masks. Mommy and masks. Creeeeeepster. (Or maybe one of his hands had a mind of its own, and painted masks, while the rest of him was terrified the whole time.)

Here is a Listicle o'Ensors, and please enjoy this scene of skeletons fighting over the corpse of a hanged man.

Happy Halloween!
