Greetings,

Jah-loween Special Edition; 2:09>

Jump straight to the Jah-loween Ark-Ive…if you dare!

Here is the musical torture  of Smile Jamaica Jah-loween Spooktacular: Jah-tober 25, 2014

<Ranking Dreads vs. the Living Dead!>

Unlike Fox running the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror in November when it loses its impact after All Hallow’s Eve, the Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives celebrates the last Saturday before Oct. 31st!

<Dubhouse of Horror; 43 sec.>

Me being a librarian by trade, I had to be extra organized. I separated my 666 Jah-loween tunes by demography. Then I had my cheat sheet of 75+ horror soundbytes and movie trailers that I chopped up inna vivisection stylee during the month of Jah-tober in my Secret Dubratory buried in the crypt of the Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives

Here is my Jah-loween Demonology:

• Witchdoctors practicing Black Magic, Voodoo and Jamaican Obeah
• Blood Suckers: Barnabas Collins, Dracula and assorted vampires
• Devils: Lucifer, Satan with the Mark of the Beast pon their ugly faces
• Dungeons, Coffins, Graveyards and Boneyards
• Frankenstein
• Ghosts and Jamaican duppies
• The Mummy
• Skeletons
• Werewolves
