  • Horror Movies Double Feature Halloween Month

    Horror Movies Double Feature Halloween Month

    In a month of two full moons, and with Mars closer to the earth than it will be for another 15 years, sci-fi becomes “SCYTHE-fi,” as Roy and my focus this month will be on horror movies. Yayyyyyyyyyy!

    Or perhaps I should say, AAAaaaaaOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

    Unfortunately, we had a problem with our Zuni fetish doll last week, which caused some connectivity issues, so our coverage of “Trilogy of Terror” (1975) had to be postponed until tomorrow evening.

    The good news is, we’ve had time to discuss what else we’d like to do, and after careful negotiation, we now have a schedule in place for both Fridays AND Sundays through Halloween. That’s right, we’ll bookend EVERY WEEKEND this month, and spoil twice as many movies.

    I hope you’ll join us tomorrow for a dissection of Karen Black’s horror television triptych. The conversation begins – and, as always, your insights are welcome – this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT.

    Then on Sunday, the seed is planted… terror grows! Our topic will be “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978), surely one of the most satisfying remakes ever filmed.

    Don’t fall asleep! Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner live-streams on Facebook every Friday and Sunday at 7 p.m.

    Happy Halloween, everyone!

    Support Classical Music This Halloween

    It’s nice to know there’s someone out there in cyberspace who ponders the same questions.

    What’s even nicer is when our kindred spirits donate to The Classical Network. Make this Halloween a real treat by calling us at 1-888-232-1212 or by making a contribution online at wwfm.org.

    I don’t have to tell you, our music is out of this world. AaaaOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    Thank you for supporting WWFM – The Classical Network!

  • Classical Music Halloween Treat WWFM

    Classical Music Halloween Treat WWFM

    “Music… GOOD!”

    On this Halloween, join us, if you dare, for a playlist of frights and delights, as we continue to solicit treats from our generous listeners. Candy bars or fast food gift certificates are all well and good, but what we’re really hoping for are your dimes.

    Please support the classical music that binds us with a donation in any amount, by calling The Classical Network at 1-888-232-1212, or by visiting our website, wwfm.org.

    Your contribution puts the fuel in our ghoul.

    As a show of thanks for our strongest contributors, we are offering a special Gratitude Gala on November 22. The gala will be studded with celebrity hosts like Rob Kapilow (“What Makes It Great”), Jed Distler (“Between the Keys”) and David Dubal (“The Piano Matters”). Music will be an integral part of the experience, and yes, there will be food.

    If you’ve already received an invitation, please RSVP as soon as you can. If you haven’t received an invitation and would still like to attend (with up to one guest), a gift of $200 during our fall fundraiser is just the ticket. The event will be held at the Conference Center on the West Windsor campus of Mercer County Community College, from 6 to 9 p.m.

    If you can’t afford the $200, do NOT think your contribution doesn’t matter! We offer gifts at all levels. CDs, travel mugs, vehicle magnets, tote bags – we’d love to send you something. But these are all as mere tokens of our gratitude for your being there for us when we need you the most. The real thanks come in the form of the kind of quality music we offer you every day, at the touch of a button or the click of a mouse.

    We’re furiously cutting eye holes in our parents’ sheets, rubbing burnt cork on our cheeks, and blacking out our teeth. Trick or treat! Our music is scary good, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.

    Thank you for your support of The Classical Network!
