Search Term Friday: Halloween, Death and Monsters

I always get huge traffic this time of year with Halloween-oriented search terms.

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
