Halloween, vampires, monsters. You name it, those search terms bring all sorts of people to this blog.
Why? Because of all the Halloween-themed and monster-focused meditations I've written over the years.
And much of that material has ended up in my three books, what I like to call my "death trilogy."
I hope you have a blessed and Happy Halloween. A collection of reflections for the day:
- My Ghostbusting Adventures with Students (Part 1, Part 2)
- Memento Mori
- Monsters in Modernity (with a link to Michael Jackson's Thriller video!)
- Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
- The Gospel According to Lady Gaga (a meditation on showing hospitality to "monsters")
- Monsters Under the Bed (from the Theology of Calvin and Hobbes series)
- The Great Pumpkin (from the Theology of Peanuts series)
- Adam's First Wife (where you learn about about night hags and the succubus)
- The Wicked (Wicked as in the Broadway musical about the Wicked Witch of the West)
- The Theology of Monsters series (seven posts in all)
- Talking with the Dead (a Halloween chapel talk)
- In Defense of Halloween (an article I wrote for ACU's student newspaper)
- On Harry Potter and Vampire Movies
- Uncle Richard, Vampire Hunter
Have you seen the animated movie "Hotel Transylvania?" It deals with several of the themes you mentioned above, in a kinda cute way, with enough humor to keep the kids interested.
I haven't. Thanks, I'll be checking it out.
