Mixing vampire humor and 1970s tropes (like pet rocks, lava lamps, disco music, bell-bottom pants, mirror balls, and of course mood rings), the web series Grave Mood Rings pokes fast fun at classic slow-moving Gothic soap operas like Dark Shadows and the Canadian series Strange Paradise. In addition to a vampiric Viscount, a castle is home to a groovy Doctor (a phlebotomist, naturally), a jolly housekeeper with her own laugh track, a werewolf Vicar, and an arch-nemesis riddler wearing a Sphinx mask. Corny wordplay, the occasional bizarre sing-a-long, and haunted doughnuts punctuate the proceedings, in the tradition of the sketch comedy of MadTV, Kids in the Hall, and SCTV.

| [Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

We love finding Ouija boards referenced in old yearbooks. And check out how they charmingly spelled superstitious:
If
Were you a mystic spirit,
And I a ouija board,
We'd kick up such a rumpus
That the mediums would pump us
Of occult news and smear it
On the superstitutious [sic] horde;
Were you a mystic spirit,
And I a ouija board.
From Mansfield State Normal School's Semaphore, 1921. See also our guide to the Care and Feeding of a Spirit Board. In the words of the celebrated magician Eugene Burger, "what a lovely and strange book it is!"
