VIVA VERMONT ART! I really enjoyed reading your piece on the artists' opinions of how to run Vermont ["What If Artists Ruled Vermont?" October 13]. It brought up many curious approaches, some "off the wall" ideas...and a few good laughs — the misspelling of French fries (being from Montreal, I have always wondered if Als French Frys was the American spelling). I believe we have something unique here in Vermont, but to try to define or explain it seems to ruin it... Artists will forever be an influence on whoever is running the country. The mere presence of art (in any form) is a constant reminder to those empowered few that there are other opinions, feelings, ideals and desires. They may try to control or even censor those ideas, but the publicity they receive will bring the very subject to more of the population. Just recently, I have been thinking about various forms of censorship that have affected my life: 1. If they hadn't blacked out Elvis'

I will now repair to the living room, where the Dug Nap hangs alongside the Matt Thorsen; curl up on the sofa and read some Peter Kurth; listen to James Kochalka Superstar; or maybe watch a Nora Jacobson film.

"I was asked to speak about the challenges and choices facing Vermont in the 21st century," she said. It was not a "partisan" topic. Vermont's commerce secretary said she'd be delighted to give the same 12-minute speech to a Republican fundraising gathering if invited to do Another case of misguided Republican guerrilla tactics is the recent attempted ambush of Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. Look, yours truly gets dished the dirt all the time. But dirt, a.k.a. "negative political intelligence on the opposition," does have to meet certain standards of quality. Unless clearly labeled "rumor," dirt must be accurate. And accurate dirt is, after all, "good" dirt, for truth is its own reward.

they've conveniently forgotten how Ruthless Ruth forced a primary in 1998 after a credible, talented and financially robust Republican named Bernie Rome declared his candidacy.

BernieWatch 2000 — Congressman Bernie Sanders was in particularly good spirits Monday, announcing the $1 million he won to promote agritourism in Vermont. Grinning, he told reporters he saw Al Gore on television over the weekend holding up two prescription drug bottles. "This one was bought in New Hampshire for X dollars," said Sanders mimicking Gore, "and this one was bought in Canada for much, much less." In Washington Monday, President Bill Clinton made the exact same point. It's suddenly in vogue to bash the current King Kong of Capitol Hill — Wonder Drugs! But even Al and Bill know it was Bernie Sanders of Vermont that led this charge. ®

Countdown to the Millennium Two Hong Kong women hoping 'to get rich from millennium anxiety instead lost nearly $60,000. Police said the first woman paid $40,000 to buy electrical components from con men, who convinced her she could resell them for astronomical profits to fix the millennium bug. The second woman, believing the millennium bug to be a medical condition, gave con men $15,440 to buy stomach pills that they assured her could cure it. They told her she could resell them for a handsome profit. • Mere fear of year 2000 computer failures could cause worse trouble than the glitches themselves, according to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Noting that private companies have spent $50 billion to make the chance of widespread failures "now negligible," Greenspan declared that individual stockpiling and business inventory hedging in response to "unwarranted fears of serious disruptions does give me pause." Greenspan warned the hoarding is likely to get even worse as January 1 gets closer. • Despite Greenspans insistence that Y2K fears are unjustified,

After Nemeth was sentenced to 11 years in jail, he told reporters he was lucky that no one died from the contaminated products, adding he didn't think anyone would have touched it because he was convinced that the strong smell of the poison in the food would have "put anyone off." • Herman Hill, 35, did not have a disguise when he entered a convenience store near St. Petersburg, Florida, to rob it, so he grabbed a plastic trash bag, put it over his head and headed for the cash register. Police easily identified Hill from the store's security camera because the trash bag was transparent. "It looked like a big prophylactic down to the waist," Pinellas County Sheriff's Sgt. Greg Tita said. "Kind of translucent."

Before driving off, he opened the glove compartment and found a camera. He had his girlfriend photograph him searching the car, then posing outside his home holding the screwdriver. Later he abandoned the car but left the camera in it. Holden spotted the evidence after the film was developed. "I was looking through the

pictures when suddenly I saw my car and some bloke in it with a screwdriver in his hand," he said. "When I showed the police, they recognized him straight away."

No Place to Go When You Get There

Police arrested the three after finding the boxed-up drug lab in one of the home's bedrooms. They were still searching the house when they nabbed suspect Kenneth Lesley, 43, for drug possession.

enerally we don't think of Vermont as an eerie state. Though strange things occasionally happen here, we've built our wholesomer-thanthou image on dairy cows, ice cream and maple syrup. But as a cardcarrying native, I can promise you that these Green Mountains cast some pretty peculiar shadows. Since the mid-1980s I have been collecting evidence that Vermont has a dark side. Occasionally we even soar to world-class weirdness.

Here, for the first time ever, I have put together my picks for the 10 strangest things ever to have happened in Vermont. I am deliberately overlooking such mediamangled oddities as Champ, Lake Champlain's waterlogged wonder; Emily's Bridge, which has almost become synonymous with Hallowe'en, at least around Stowe; and the long-revered legend of our cryogenic geriatrics, which, unfortunately, is just that — a legend. W h a t follows are my picks, from the most mundane to the most marvelous... Vermont's Top-10 Terrors:

In 1843 Melissa Warner, a timid farm woman from Bristol, saw two black, humanlike forms hovering in the clear afternoon sky. W h e n they saw her looking, they transformed into recognizable religious icons — God and Jesus — and tried to frighten her with gruesome stories about the forthcoming end of the world. What's weird is that Warner's disturbing account is not in any way typical of mid-19th-century religious visions. T h e black-to-white transformation is especially puzzling and totally unique. T h e deeply troubled woman finally worked up the courage to tell her clergyman about the confrontation. He recorded the events. A century and a half later I discovered his remarkable manuscript buried in the archives of the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, proving that Warner was misinformed by her celestial visitors.

2. THE FROG THAT DIDN'T CROAK In Brandon, during the summer of 1865, workmen digging a new mine shaft made an impossible discovery: At a depth of 114 feet they unearthed the body of a giant bullfrog. T h e oversized amphibian was snugly packed in a pocket of hardened mud that was contoured precisely to its form. Experts guessed it must have been preserved there for thousands of years.

T h e n things got weirder. After a few hours the Brobdingnagian bullfrog started to twitch and jerk. T h e n , fully animated, it began hopping backward in a spastic, convulsive manner. Finally some sympathetic townsperson managed to seize the frog and transport it to a nearby pond. There it lived happily for many years. During summer nights Brandon's Giant Bullfrog bellowed so loudly that it could be heard for miles around.

3. THE RYEGATE DOOR Mark Massie of Colchester recalls a profoundly puzzling experience from his early adolescence. H e and his brother were exploring near the family home in Ryegate when they discovered a hill with a wooden door in its side. This weather-beaten woodplank doorway looked ancient. So did its rough iron bolts, oversized hinges and huge, rusty padlock. After the boys ran to tell their parents, their mother stopped to see the door on her way to St. Johns-bury. She was puzzled; she'd lived there all her life and had never seen it before. All three agreed to explore the interior when they returned from their errands. But when they got back just a few hours later, the door had vanished completely. Massie is sure they didn't imagine it. After all, there were two other witnesses. But over the years he has been unable to rediscover his vanished door. Today he can only speculate about what might have happened had they gone inside.

4. MIRACLE SPRINGS T h e Brunswick Mineral Springs are amazing on two levels. First, they're a natural wonder: six individual healing springs flowing side by side on a knoll. Oddly, the mineral content of each is completely different from that of its neighbor. Second, they are said to be cursed. An Abenaki shaman commanded that any use of the magical waters for profit would never succeed. But during America's water fad, a parade of entrepreneurs made the fatal mistake of trying to sell the waters. First, as if responding to some preternatural command, Dr. D . C .

with bottling plant — caught fire and burned. He rebuilt and sold the place to John C. Hutchins. O n September 19, 1929, fire destroyed it again. Hutchins replaced the ruins with a grander hotel. O n May 15, 1930 — just one month before it was to open — the night watchman spotted smoke. By midday Hutchins' hotel was little more than twisted pipes and smoldering timbers. Not to be put off by a collision with the supernatural, Hutchins erected an even grander replacement. But the shaman was right, the place would never prosper: O n April 23, 1931, Hutchins' third hotel went up in smoke. He never tried again. And in the 60-plus years that have followed, neither has anyone else.

5. STRANGE BIRDS During one late summer in the early 1980s Jim Guyette was visiting his mother on their remote family farm in Irasburg. He was suddenly alarmed to hear an unearthly screeching coming from outside. He ran to the porch and saw three gigantic birds flying north. He estimated their wingspan was 20 feet or more. The birds were so big Guyette warned his sons away, fearing they'd be carried off. One bird tried to land in the biggest maple tree in the yard, but it couldn't; its massive wings shook the tree too much. Other witnesses included Guyette's wife Jeanette, their two sons and a family friend. All agreed the creatures didn't look like any normal birds. They were sleek and dark brown, with long necks and long, pointed beaks. Their wings appeared quite stiff, like bat wings. After the failed landing all three birds flew off toward Butternut Hill. Guyette's son Ben recalls, "It was weird. You could see them plain as day, then all of a sudden they were just gone."

6. THE WHITINGHAM WINDOWS In the summer and fall of 1874, the windows of Rev. N . D . Sherman's house in Whitingham underwent a peculiar transformation. According to several newspapers, including the venerable Rutland Herald, they were found to be... "mysteriously covered with etchings of a strange variety, in which believers see the portraits of dead friends. The windows in the house of [Sherman's] son-in-law, near by, are also being covered and great numbers of people flock to see the phenomena." Such "spiritual manifestations" are as

much a puzzle now as then. In trying to solve this mystery more than a century after the fact, I spoke to a photographer who suggested the glass portraits may have a mundane explanation. In the old days photographic images were recorded on glass plates. Photographers would often sell their used plates after the images were printed. Perhaps some castoff plates were recycled as window glass. If so, sunshine might have "developed" the images and caused the excitement. But if that doesn't explain the weird Whitingham windows, what does?

7. SOUNDS WEIRD Certain people in the vicinity of Newark are hearing a mysterious lowpitched hum. N o one knows what it is or where it comes from. It's equally difficult to pinpoint when it began. Some residents say it's been around for a decade, but it first reached public attention in March 1997 when the Caledonian Record ran a story. Oddly, as if responding to the article, the hum stopped. Some days later it started again, steadier now, and slightly higher-pitched. Vermont's elusive hum has other puzzling attributes: First, it occurs in places where there's no electricity, so we must eliminate dehumidifiers, blenders and pump motors submerged in wells. Even during power outages, the hum keeps humming along. Second, not everyone can hear it. Those who can often share a room with people who cannot. To compound this peculiarity, deaf people can sometimes hear the vexing vibrations. And third, different people describe it in vastly different ways. In years past speculation might have gravitated toward the supernatural, but today we put our faith in science. Alas, the laboratory lets us down: The hum cannot be detected by microphones or special low-frequency antennas. Explanations range from UFOs, to tectonic tension, to epidemic ear problems, to hypersensitivity, to electromagnetic noise from microwaves, cordless phones and the like. But the truth is, no one knows what causes the hum. It's a modern mystery.

8. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE During the wet, foggy night of February 14, 1984, Dummerston farmer Robert Ranney went out to his barn at about three o'clock in the morning. There

he saw a gruesome sight: 23 of his 29 heifers were dead. According to one report, they were lying in a perfect circle r with feed still in their mouths. There were no signs of a struggle. A veterinarian determined the animals had been electrocuted, but he couldn't figure out how. Ranney guessed lightning, but there was no evidence of a strike. More investigators checked the scene, including electricians, but no one could discover a reason for the eerie electrical deaths. The coup de grace came after the animals were buried in a mass grave bulldozed into a cornfield. For years afterward nothing would grow on that mysterious circle of land. ^ -f

9. WINDSOR'S WATER SPRITE In 1955, the Cherry Street home of Dr. Thomas Waterman began to flood. Trouble is, no one could determine the source of the water; it just seemed to appear. In the first two days the family cleaned up 13 buckets full. Cups, bowls and planters filled to the brim. Saturated clothing dripped in the closets. Once it even rained inside the house. Eventually the demented deluge drove the family from their home. Then, a month later, things returned to normal, leaving water damage and an impossible mystery.

10. THE FARMERS' PHANTOMS To me the dizzying high point of Vermont weirdness involves the enigmatic Eddy Brothers of Chittenden. What went on in their ramshackle farmhouse and on its surrounding land is, in my estimation, Vermont's greatest mystery. In the 1870s people came from all over the world to attend the seances William and Horatio Eddy conducted there. Six nights a week the brothers would summon three-dimensional phantoms — 20, even 30 in the course of an evening — who'd parade around and interact with the audience. People recognized friends and long-dead relatives. Sometimes the forms were completely visible and seemingly solid. Other times they'd partially materialize, or remain transparent. They varied in size from that of

The ethereal entities held fluent conversations in no fewer than six foreign If it was a trick, no one has ever been able to figure out how it was done. The Eddys were investigated numerous times, most thoroughly by Col. Henry Olcott, a lawyer and former military detective from New York City. He concluded that such a show would require a whole troupe of actors and several trunks full of costumes. W i t h the help of carpenters and engineers, Olcott made a thorough search of the premises. His conclusion: There was simply no place to hide people or props. In all, Colonel Olcott chronicled the appearance of well over 400 different supernatural apparitions and witnessed every manifestation known to psychic science at the time. According to his own account, he arrived a skeptic but left a believer. A little-known bit of Vermont trivia is that it was in that Chittenden house that the co-founders of Theosophy first met — Madam Helena Blavatsky and the "newly enlightened" Colonel Olcott. Later, Olcott became the first American of European descent to make a formal conversion to Buddhism.

A Hinesburg writer untangles t story of witchcraft in America B Y RUTH HOROWITZ t doesn't take a psychic to figure out that the nation's number-one Halloween hot spot is Salem, Massachusetts. This year, an estimated three million tourists will hang out on Gallows Hill, lay low at the Witch Dungeon Museum, slurp Salem Witch Sludge ice cream, buy witch books, brooms, pencils and key rings, and vie for a glimpse of the genuine Wiccan worshippers making their own annual pilgrimage to this familiar coastal town for the pagan holiday of Samhain. Take a look at the Salem High crone mascot, the witch-on-broom logo on Salem's police cars or the witch masthead of the Salem Evening Post, and it's as clear as a nose wart that this town believes its bewitched past is good for today's business.

But Salem hasn't always felt sanguine about its history. For years, the place tried to pass as a mild-mannered maritime community, hoping everyone would simply forget the events of 1692 ever happened. As if. With public interest in the witch hunt ignit-

ed by Arthur Miller's The Crucible in 1952, and fascination with witches in general fired by TV's "Bewitched," folks just wouldn't let it go. Sometime in the 1960s, Salem stopped fighting the inevitable and opted instead to transform its infamy into an asset. The history of the publics changing attitudes towards the trials — both within Salem and throughout the rest of the world — is the focus of Hinesburg writer Lori Lee Wilson's The Salem Witch Trials, a book for middle and high school students published two year ago by Lerner Publications. Wilson, a speaker with the Vermont Council for the Humanities, presented her insights about Salem in Pittsford earlier this week, and will give another talk in St. Albans in December. T h e Vermont Historical Society gave Wilson an Award of Merit in 1991 for her book God With Us, a history of Shelburne's Trinity Episcopal Church.

preach about the power of evil in church. He also likely ranted about this force at home, where he was responsible not only for his own children and his consumptive wife, but also his orphaned 11-year-old niece, Abigail Williams. Abigail was playing a fortune-telling game one day when she became convinced she saw her own coffin. She soon began to suffer inexplicable fits, slipping into trances and having seizures. Even more alarming, these same symptoms soon spread to other girls in the village. Parris prayed and fasted for the girls, and when those efforts failed to cure them, he urged the girls to reveal the names of the people bewitching them. The girls responded by naming neighbors. Witchcraft charges were hardly new in 1692. Nor were they a uniquely American phenomenon. In 1431, the French burned Joan of Arc at the stake. Church authorities persecuted alleged witches in England, Germany, Italy, Scotland and Spain, as well. According to Wilson, historians estimate that between 1484 and 1782, Church authorities put an astounding 300,000 women to death for witchcraft. Here in New England, between 1663 and 1689, more than 100 people were accused of being witches. Sixteen people were eventually hanged over that 26-year period — all having "confessed" to witchcraft. But in 1692, in Salem, the trend picked up speed and changed direction. By the end of the year, 19 people had been executed as witches. Rather than condemning confessed witches, as had been done in the past, that year the court pardoned those who confessed, and executed those who asserted their innocence. At first, the accused fit the witch stereotype: old, unpleasant and outside the social mainstream. The big shift came with the arrest of Martha Corey, a Christian

Mexican outlaw Joaquin Murrieta. Also in the works is research on Madame Montespan, the mistress of Louis XIV and mother of eight of his children, who was accused of using satanic rites to seduce the king. Wilson first learned about Salem by watching a 1950s movie on T V when she was 16. The film, based on Marion Starkey s classic, The Devil in Massachusetts, portrayed the "afflicted" girls' as mainly motivated by malice. Wilson wasn't convinced. "Anyone could see that what the girls were doing was phony," she says. "Why would the grown-ups have believed them?" Wilson, now 44, got her answer years later, when she moved from Madison, Wisconsin, to Vermont and took a continuing education course through the University of Vermont's Church Street Center. The instructor had served as minister at the Congregational Church in Danvers, Massachusetts — the same church in which witch-hunter Samuel Parris preached when Danvers was still called Salem Village. The class convinced Wilson that the fires of Salem's witch mania were fanned by three factors: economic insecurity, rampant superstition and political instability. Faced with a spate of sensational natural events, including a persistent drought, appearance of a comet and the sinking of a crucial supply ship, Salem residents read their misfortunes as signs of a vigorous struggle between God and Satan. Things came to a head in late January 1692, in the household of Rev. Samuel Parris — a household Wilson paints in distinctly somber tones. Parris was bitter about his back-country pulpit and upset about losing his salary. He began to see his enemies as devils, Wilson suggests, and to

old sons had their necks tied to their heels to induce nose bleeds. Under this torture, they "confessed" that their mother was a witch. Though Wilson's book follows the events of 1692, her primary focus is on how these events have been explained in the 300 years since. One of the. first interpretations was Cotton Mathers Wonders of the Invisible World. Written in 1692 by one of the leading witch "experts" of the day, it supported the court's activities and took the accusers' claims at face value. Five years

who attended church every Sunday. What distinguished Corey was her refusal to believe the girls' claims. During questioning, when Corey tipped her head slightly, the girls jerked their heads violently in the same direction. When Corey scratched her neck, the girls clawed theirs. "The girls' behavior overrode all other types of evidence," Wilson recounts. "Martha Corey's body was examined for witch tits. She had no witch tits. She was asked to recite the Lord's Prayer. She recited it perfectly. But none of this evi-

As crops continued to fail, the state of war persisted and the economy didn't recover, people began to worry that God was punishing Salem. By 1700, in this climate of remorse, the public was ready for an altogether different version of the story. They got it in More Wonders of the Invisible World, written by Robert Calef, a Boston cloth merchant. In his book, Calef mocked Mathers methods for treating witchcraft affliction. He denounced the witch hunts as superstitious and un-Christian. And he exposed

dence mattered to the court in light of what seemed to be happening to the afflicted." One thing that distinguishes Wilson's book from other accounts of events in Salem is her emphasis on how the trials, so famous for being instigated by children, also hurt so many other young people. When Sarah Good was arrested, for example, her five-year-old daughter, Dorcas, readily "confessed" and was thrown into jail with her mother. There she watched her shackled mother give birth, saw the baby die, and saw her mother hanged for infanticide. When Martha Carrier was arrested, her four children were imprisoned along with her, and her 15- and 17-year-

Spell Check continued from page 11 children made fun of him." Mather invented a vaccine for small pox, but no one would use it because they were sure it mustbe poisonous, she adds. No one has ever come to Mather's defense, though the events in Salem have been analyzed repeatedly, examined

through the lenses of history, psychology, feminism, spiritualism, economics, law and religious studies. Feminists see the witch trials as a communal exercise in misogyny. Social critics have called them a precursor to the anti-Communism hysteria of the 1950s. In 1976, an article in Science magazine diagnosed the girls' affliction as ergotism, a condition resulting from eating fungusinfected barley. Wilson doesn't buy this explanation. She notes that the girls didn't exhibit ergotisms most common symptoms — stomach aches and diarrhea. She also points out that period cookbooks suggest Salem residents would have recognized ergotism for what it was. Wilson says she has not seen Laurie Winn Carlson's book, A Fever in Salem, which attributes the girls' suffering to an outbreak of encephalitis.

son to turn on their neighbors. This piece of the puzzle is addressed by one of the more recent interpretations of the trials, the Salem Witchcraft Trial Memorial. The memorial was dedicated in 1992, the trials' tricentennial. Playwright Arthur Miller, historian Marion Starkey and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel attended. The monument is spare: an open "room" defined by a low, rough-hewn wall set with 19 ledges, each of which is inscribed with the name of a different victim, and a quote in which the victim states his or her innocence. The Wiccans who celebrate Samhain at Salem consider these victims to be martyrs whose deaths made their religious freedom possible. But the memorial makes no such claim. It simply serves as a stark reminder that group fear, unchecked, can lead to tragic consequences.®

How does Wilson explain the girls' fits? "The most potent argument points to the power of suggestion," she states. "The children seemed to pull out whatever name they'd heard around the house lately," Wilson suggests. Even more striking, however, is the highly suggestive nature of the questions the children were asked, often several weeks before a trial, Wilson says. She sees remarkable similarities between the way the girls in Salem were interrogated and the methods used to question the children who "remembered" being abused in an infamous case in Maiden, Massachusetts, in the 1980s, when preschoolers accused Violet Amirault and her staff of sexual abuse. Whatever mechanism may have produced the girls' behavior, a more fundamental — and troubling — mystery is what made the town of Salem see it as a rea-

A Burlington filmmaker talks terror with The Blair Witch Project production designer Ben Roc BY KEITH SPIEGEL

he summer of 1999 was supposed to have been dominated by one film at the box office: The Phantom Menace. Then along came a quirky, no-budget movie from Florida called The Blair Witch Project. Hours after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival last January, this grainy, handheld horror film — shot mostly on a Hi-8 camcorder — sold to Artisan Entertainment for $1.1 million. It's hard to overstate the intensity of the rabid following Blair Witch has generated. In its first week of limited release, the film averaged an unheard-of $26,000 per theater. At Burlington's Hoyts Nickelodeon last August, teenagers lined up around the block every night for two weeks. Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks company was so intimidated that it delayed release of its own horror film, The Haunting. Newsweek and Time magazine ran simultaneous cover stories on the phenomenon. By the time the dust had settled, the $35,000 Blair Witch Project had become the highest-grossing independent film of the 1990s — $140 million in U.S. theaters alone. And now, just in time for Halloween: Blair Witch Project, the video. With the October 26 release, Burlington's Waterfront Video, for one, expects to be swamped with requests for the title — the store has stocked double the normal copies of the tape. Blair Witch's co-producer Gregg Hale has seized the moment with a nationwide college lecture tour, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets of the production. Unless you've been vacationing in Kyrgyzstan for the past six months, you're probably familiar with the premise of Blair Witch: Three student filmmakers venture into the Maryland woods to shoot a documentary about a local witch legend. They stumble upon lots of eerie stick figures, get completely lost and never return. Ben Rock is the man behind those stick figures. A longtime member of the Orlando, Florida, independent film scene, Rock was hired as production designer by Blair Witch co-directors Eduardo Sanchez and Dan Myrick. Rock's logo for the film has become a new icon of American pop culture — ranking up there with the peace symbol. I caught up with Rock last week in the midst of his new project at Haxan Films, Blair Witch's Orlando-based production company, in hopes that he might have some words of advice, and inspiration, for Vermont's aspiring indie filmmakers.

SD: When did you first start discussing the concept for The Blair Witch Project? BR: In 1996, I lived about a block away from Gregg. I went over to his house all the time. One night he told me about the Blair Witch legend...I'd never heard about it, but it sounded credible. Then he told me about a friend of Ed's who had been making a documentary film about it and had disappeared. I thought that was pretty weird. Then he told me that the footage had turned up, and that Dan, Ed and he were going to make a documentary about the footage and the missing students, and I said, "You guys are going to die!" SD: Did he keep a straight face while he was telling you the story? BR: Gregg never cracked the whole time. Then he told me the real skinny, and I begged him to let me work on it. SD: Can you describe the process you went through in shooting the film? BR: In preproduction, Ed and Dan hiked through the woods and created the route that the cast members would take. Gregg and I rounded up props and rented equipment. Once Ed and Dan knew where the actors needed to go, we created some of the scenarios they would encounter in the woods. When the actors got to Maryland, Gregg showed them how to use the Global Positioning System and compass to find their way around. We gave them a video camera and a film camera which [cinematographer] Neil Fredericks showed them how to use. Then, with only their backpacks and the film equipment, they walked the path Ed and Dan found for them. SD: Did you have any contact with the cast once the production was underway? BR: Yeah, somewhat. Every day we'd transfer equipment and tapes at a waypoint. We would drop their new supplies in a milk carton and they would pick it up while we hid. Then we would go pick up their batteries, film and video. Ed and Dan would write little notes for the actors and put them in film

cans, which they were not to share between each other.

Seven Days: How did you first meet up with the other Blair Witch producers? Ben Rock: I went to film school with Gregg Hale. We attended a technical film program at Valencia Community College in 1991, and we applied to the University of Central Florida in 1992. Ed Sanchez, Dan Myrick and Mike Monello were all in their first year of the UCF program at that time. Rob Cowie was one class behind them, and Gregg and I were one class behind him.

SD: As a producer's rep, John Pierson helped launch the careers of Richard Linklater, Kevin Smith, Michael Moore and Vermont's own Nora Jacobson [Pierson lobbied Sundance to screen Jacobson's documentary, Delivered Vacant, in 1993]. How did he help Blair Witch Project get off'the ground? BR: Dan shot an episode of Pierson's [Independent Film Channel] show, "Split Screen," at the Florida Film Festival in 1997. When they were done shooting, Dan gave John a promo tape of Blair that we'd made a year earlier. He thought the story was real, that the kids had disappeared, and we had their footage. Then Dan told him it was a hoax, and he thought it was hilarious. He used our promo as a segment on "Split Screen," and hired us to make another segment once the film had been shot.

SD: Orlando and Vermont both have nice little "off-Hollywood" independent film scenes brewing. Here in Burlington the 10th annual Vermont Independent Film Festivaljust ended. What advice would you have for burgeoning independent filmmakers in the Green Mountains? BR: I hope that the real lesson people take away from this is that you don't have to make a movie like they teach you in film school. There's any number of ways to make films that people haven't explored yet. Hopefully people will experiment more. That's what I hope to do. ® Keith Spiegel is a Burlington independent filmmaker and the writer-director o/Groupies. He is also co-founder of Utah's Slamdunk Festival.

hen I called to make reservations for "La Maison Hantee," the long-running, haunted-house dinner theater in Montreal, I should have picked up on the tell-tale clues of inanity: First, it's long-running — the third incarnation of this particular spectacle. Second, the first two dates I chose were sold out. Third, the bar is open for 90 minutes before the first seating. Finally, what the hell is haunted-house dinner theater, anyway?

I was overcome by curiosity, however, when the sweet reservation agent asked me, "Is anyone in your party pregnant, claustrophobic or have a heart condition?" "No," I answered, "but what would happen if I said yes? " "We give them a fluorescent necklace and stay away," she said. I grinned hopefully. Maybe this really would be scary. We invited another couple — neither being pregnant, claustrophobic nor prone to cardiac arrest — and all of us began looking forward to being scared out of our wits. We met at Pierre's apartment and took the Metro. An otherwise nondescript and non-decrepit building on the edge of Chinatown, La Maison Hantee's purple fa$ade is festooned with goblins and gremlins. T h e creaky, hobnailed door swung open and "Elois the Embalmer," bloody-fanged and chalk-faced, greeted us bilingually and sent us upstairs.

directed to the bar waiting area while I waited in line to pay up and get our table assignment. The spooky fare does not come cheap: $39.50 Canadian, and they don't take American Express.

I was overcome bv curiosit however, when the sweet reservation agent asked me, Is anyone in your part' Itregnant, claustrophobic or ave a heart condition?" found ourselves in a black-lit maze with dippy floors, funhouse mirrors, dangling furry things and loud music. I was doing fine until Paul grabbed me from behind and screamed bloody murder. I almost smacked him; Pierre almost fainted. From the maze we broke into the open dining room, which runs the full length of the building and holds about 200 people. A small, raised stage is in the center of room. We four were seated at a table for eight that is shaped like a coffin. Many of the tables were pushed together, with a dozen or more patrons crowded in, laughing, jostling and getting ready for the show. I was sur-

all the people at the surrounding tables shrieked. A trap door opened in the stage. Red light and smoke poured out, and shadowy figures with ghoulish makeup appeared and moved through the crowd. More screaming, along with very loud techno music. We started to Cough from the smoke, which was not dry ice, but genuine sooty smoke. Frankly, that pretty much sums up the evening. T h e drama was built around a very thin story line about the Baron de Bleury and a book he stole from the Underworld containing incantations that control zombies. We were entertained by a

mad bride, the Baron's lascivious son, a demonic hip-hop dancer, a hunchbacked marionette, one of the Caesars — maybe Caligula? — and some dowdy wenches. "Don't worry if you don't speak French," we were told at the beginning. "You'll be able to figure it out." Well, Pierre is French and he's still trying to figure it out. T h e smoke pouring from the trap door was compounded by a room full of normal Canadian adults, each smoking the requisite 10 cigarettes during dinner. The pounding music never stopped. T h e "scary" stuff consisted of the actors berating the customers. Several audience members were humiliated on stage, to the unending delight of their office colleagues. W h e n one actor discovered his sudden shrieks got a good reaction out of Paul, he visited us regularly to breathe down his neck. The characters, in turn, were periodically berated by the Master of the Underworld. They cowered in his presence and returned to their zombie state. W h e n he left, they turned on us again. O n e of the highlights — a tried-and true Halloween trick — was dousing the lights and then making loud noises directly behind people. All the while, the hard-bodied demon dancer reappeared through the trap door to direct a herd of monkishly attired zombies who served us vegetables and chips with dip, pitchers of Sprite and Coke, a meal of pork chop and vegetables and a still-frozen layer cake. I must say, though, that the soup service was unique: An enormous vessel in the likeness of a frog was wheeled through the crowd and onto the stage; the Baron de Bleury pried open its gigantic mouth and served cream of vegetable soup from its gullet into tureens, which were then carried to each table. Appetizing. After dessert, some talented performers actually did take the stage, and they were a treat. A wonderful juggler, a Chinese balancing act and — the piece de resistance— a fantastic soprano drag queen named Carmen, who flirted mightily with Pierre before wowing the whole crowd with an aria or two. We'd go anywhere to see Carmen again — she had great presence and a fantastic voice and was oh-so-charming. Moreover, when the Master of the Underworld appeared, she didn't cower; she simply ran away! Finally, the lights came up. "That was really lame," opined Pierre immediately. "And Pierre usually scares easily," chimed in Paul. " W h a t are you going to write?" asked my husband. "Well," 1 said, "how about this? 'If the actors don't scare you, the food will.'" ® La Maison Hantee will feature a special Halloween program this Saturday, October 30, $22, with prizes for the best costumes.

With Ellis Paul it's no contest — he won three Boston Music Awards in this year alone, including Best Male Vocalist, Best SingerSongwriter (Indie) and Best Contemporary Folk Album (for Translucent Soul). Now doesn't that make you want to see — or rather hear — what all the fuss is about? Paul offers an earful this Friday

MR. BUNGLE

F E E L I N G GHOULED? It looks to me like an enterprising spirit could not only have a lot of fun on Hallowe'en, but make out like a bandit doing it. (Now there's a costume idea!) There are jackpots and prizes galore especially for the best-dressed spirit with a knack for being in several places at once. This weekend the fun starts early with scary skankers U . N . I , at Mad Mountain Tavern on Friday. You'll see the most masks on Saturday night, though — technically Cabbage Night. At Charlie O's Hallowe'en party, The Mighty Loons will rule the roost; at Montpelier City Hall, The Point takes on Hallowe'en andt\\t Millennium with its Masquerade Ball featuring Bloozotomy; The Rusty Nail raises the dead in Stowe with Pinnacle and lots of other noise; Plattsburgh's South Catherine St. Jug Band host their fourth annual spookfest at the Strand Theater; Killington kicks in with The Slackers at Toadstool Harry's and The Badlees at the Pickle Barrel; and back in

Winooski, The Seth Yacovone Blues Band go bump in the night at Higher Ground. There are two chances to win at HG, in fact: $200 for the best costume overall, and, well, glory, I guess, for winning the "Flying Bobfred" Look-alike Contest. It's a Seth thing. Down in the capital, The Point has a bewitching multilevel plan to please more people: Grand Prize is a weekend for two at the Mad River Inn in Waitsfield; second prize is an electric guitar from the House of Blues; third is a pair of front-row seats to Lyle Lovett at the Flynn; and fourth is a stack of CDs. Not too shabby. If you don't scare up any booty Saturday, you could try again Sunday night at Club Metronome, which is offering a hefty $300 prize for the most macabre get-up. But don't forget, you goblins, that Hallowe'en is for fun, not for profit! BRAVO! You don't often read about classical musicians in this column, but, hey, they deserve props, too. After all, it's only rock 'n' roll...from a different

era. We've just learned from the Vermont Youth Orchestra that former Vermonter Pierre >• Jalbert, now 32, was recently named the fourth Young American Composer-inResidence for the California Symphony. A member of the VYO from 1982-85 — on percussion and piano — and South Burlington High School grad, Jalbert is now an assistant prof of composition and music theory at Houston's Rice University. His first commissioned work for Cal Symph will be premiered in May. Let that be an inspiration for all you kids trying to weasel out of your piano lessons. Meanwhile, back home, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra has announced that the year 2000 marks more than just a millennium: The state has been chosen as the ninth annual recipient of an American Residency by the National Symphony Orchestra at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Sounds impressive, but what the heck does it mean? According to VSO marketing associate Amy Barcomb, it means the whole NSO comes up for a weeklong residency, April 24 to May 1. The full orchestra, conducted by NSO Music Director Leonard Slatkin, will perform six concerts in five Vermont cities, and orchestra members will "do a variety of outreach activities," says Barcomb, including lectures,

chamber performances, in-school clinics, master classes and teacher training. In addition, a Vermont composer will be commissioned to compose a piece for the NSO, and six young musicians, aged 14 to 20, will be chosen for the Kennedy Center's summer music institute. The VSO and Vermont Arts Council will act as hosts and traffic coordinators while the orchestra is here, and are currently accepting requests for residency outreach activities. And we're not done yet. Though the Vergennes Opera House is now more likely to present folk acts than operas, the picturesque building has a friend in Washington: Sen. James Jeffords. The good senator, a well-known advocate of the arts, has procured $200,000 to help restore the 102-year-old building. It's a thin slice of the pie for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, but it's a respectable chunk of cash for Vermont's smallest city "There [are] simply no words to describe how happy we are," quoth Gerianne Smart, president of the Friends of the Vergennes Opera House. Look for more sprucing in the Year 2000. ®

TEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEw A D R I A N L E G G , FINGERS AND THUMBS (Red House Records, CD) — When I first heard Leo Kottke play, I couldn't believe one guy and one guitar — though it was a 12-string — could make so much music. Fingers and Thumbs, the latest disc from perennially award-winning London guitar slinger Adrian Legg, struck me similarly. He's one of those players who make virtuosity sound easy. Legg incorporates occasional bass percussion and synth into his sound, and there might be an overdub or two, but on most tracks one guitar is plenty. His music utilizes jazz, folk and classical elements, but he manages to cross between these genres seamlesssly. The opener, "Lunchtime at Rosie's," is probably the strongest track here, with its driving, snarebrushed train beat and blistering yet rootsy guitar runs punctuated with twangy bends and slides. "Not Remotely Blue," which follows, is another highlight, with a catchy Travis-picked body framed by slower, fluid intro and outro sections. I also favored the Gaelic-sounding "Rocking Horse" — except for the unnecessary synth-flute parts. On the down side, some of Legg's mellower tunes break down into forgettable noodling more suitable to a PBS nature show soundtrack. (Legg actually is a sometime commentator on NPR, and also takes photos, which are viewable on this enhanced C D if you have the technology.) "Hymn For Jaco" is pretty, but not particularly memorable, showing none of the fire of its subject. Fingers and Thumbs closes with "Tiddles," a humorous, spoken-word piece in which Legg rhymes rapid-fire about an ill-fated battle

between a cat and the Dalmatian next door, followed by "Mdrundgum," a rather annoying piece of guitar-less jungle exotica deluged with rainsticks, tribal drums and animal noises. Despite such missteps, Legg is a pretty transcendent player, and on Fingers and Thumbs he uses his powers more for good than evil. — Paul Gibson JOSH BROOKS, JOSH BROOKS (self-released cassette) — I don't usually pay much attention to tapes with sleeves that look like the artist spent a night at Kinko's with a pair of scissors. Nothing against demos, but...who has the time? It was Burlington Coffeehouse impresario Jeff Miller, frankly, who persuaded me to have a listen. Miller championed the talents of the young Josh Brooks, who's hit open mike nights with the confidence of a much more experienced artist. And, incidentally, it was Miller who recorded the New Haven, Vermont, player and St. Mike's graduate live at the Coffeehouse in August for this seven-song release. So I listened. And instead of the selfconscious singer-songwriter I expected, Brooks surprised me by kicking off his eponymous debut in the style of the young Bob Dylan. Though it's misleading to invoke that name, it was my first association when Brooks started wailing on harmonica over his vigorous acoustic strumming. His voice is a less blunt instrument, and his lyrics less acerbic, but the instincts are there. The first two songs, "My Sweet Renoir" and, especially, "Ten Black Crows" are in the feisty neo/trad folk vein, but "The Wedding

Day" slows down and shows Brooks in a quieter, more contemplative mode. Though the repetitive guitar riff grows irritating, Brooks' gift with rhyme and observation is admirable. At his best, he's a storyteller and message-bearer whose wordsmithery and hints of darkness keep you listening to the end. "Love's a Loaded Gun" retells the cautionary tale of the human heart with his own "been there, done that" expertise. "The Ballad of Abraham" is an old-school paean to the failing farmer and the loss of land — and faith — that would make Pete Seeger proud. But Brooks does have an unfortunate tendency toward sentimentality. I began to drift on "Opposites Attract" — a too-neat meditation on a couple magnetized by their differences. And instead of exiting with a thrash and a wail, as I would have liked, he ends up with a gentle, cantering lullaby called "Don Quixote" that made me want to reach for the stop button. Is it shallow to prefer rousing, full-barreled folk that makes me want, instead, to punch someone out — or laugh? Perhaps. Someday I might learn to appreciate the sweetness, and the nuances of feeling, that Josh Brooks clearly can deliver. For now, though, I'll take Bobby D., and wait to see which fork in the folk road Brooks is going to follow. — Pamela Polston

Anyway, you've seen the ads and the talk show interviews: It's been weeks since Cage has saved anyone. He's tormented. He's going a little nuts. H e wanted to be Employee of the M o n t h (just kidding). Though it's basically just a career crisis dressed up like a Boschian vision of Hell, as far as I can tell — not to mention an excuse for Scorsese to shoot more footage of spooky streets with steam rising out of the sewer grates.

Mrs. Cage — Patricia Arquette — is in there, too. She plays the daughter of a heart-attack victim. Whose life, by the way, Cage saves right at the start of the film! Hello? For some reason he doesn't count this professional accomplishment, though. H e and

Cage is a manic cartoon of a spook, and Schoonmaker's editing is a Mardi Gras for the eyes as always. Maybe if I hadn't just sat through The Sixth Sense, Stir of Echoes and Fight Club, I might have had more patience with the movie's indolent gloom and doom. I wouldn't have been stunned to realize any of those big-screen bummers told a more compelling, coherent story than this one. Each of the other three deals with death and is drenched in darkness, but each is more artistically alive, even vibrant, than this film. O f the four, only Scorsese's ambulance-driver angst-a-thon is D.O.A. ®

T H E FIGHT C L U B * * * Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are teamed in the dark new film from Seven director David Fincher. Based on the bestselling novel by Chuck Palahniuk, the picture concerns an underground organization in which men meet to beat the post-modern numbness out of each other. (R) CHILDREN OF P A R A D I S E * * * * JeanLouis Barrault plays a mime who longs for an unattainable and beautiful woman in this lyrical cult classic from director Marcel Carne.

(PG-13) BRINGING OUT T H E D E A D * * 1 ' 2 Based on Joe Connelly's critically acclaimed debut novel, the latest from Martin Scorsese features a script by Paul Schrader and a little teamwork from husband and wife Nicolas Cage and Patricia Arquette as a burned-out Hell's Kitchen ambulance medic and a young woman he meets on the job. John Goodman and Tom Sizemore costar. (R) C R A Z Y IN ALABAMA** 1/2 Zorro takes a stab at directing. Yup, Antonio Banderas steps behind the camera to helm this civil rights-era saga about a Southern housewife (Mrs. Banderas herself, Melanie Griffith) who murders her husband and then heads for Hollywood in search of movie stardom. (PG-13) MUSIC OF T H E H E A R T * * * 1 / 2 It's not unusual for director Wes Craven to have a new movie released around Halloween. It is, however, nothing short of shocking for it to tell the story of little kids learning the violin in East Harlem and star Meryl Streep. (PG) T H E BEST M A N * * * Writer/director/ you-know-who's cousin Malcolm Lee brings us this Big Chill-reminiscent story about a group of old friends who reunite on the occasion of a wedding and find they have old issues to resolve.

Rita Wilson and Paul Reiser co-star. (R) T H R E E K I N G S * * * * 1 / 2 T h e buzz is big for this off-beat black dramedyaction from Flirting With Disaster director David O. Russell. George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube star as American soldiers who do some personal treasure hunting during the Gulf War. (R) RANDOM H E A R T S * * 1 7 2 Harrison Ford's a cop. Kristin Scott Thomas is a congresswoman. After their spouses perish in a horrible plane crash, they discover the two had been having an affair. Which, of course, means they have so much in common it's just a matter of time until they're making whoopie, too. Sydney Pollack directs. (R) S U P E R S T A R * * 1 / 2 The latest "Saturday Night Live" sketch to make it to the big screen has Molly Shannon stretching her Catholic schoolgirl spaz bit into a 90-minute saga about an underdog's triumph over geekiness. With Will Ferrell and Mark McKinney. (PG-13) A M E R I C A N B E A U T Y * * * * Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening play the heads of a nuclear family in the process of meltdown in the feature debut from from white-hot Broadway director Sam (The Blue Room) Mendes. (R) E L M O IN G R O U C H L A N D * * * The fuzzy red one makes his big-screen debut alongside the more experienced Mandy Patinkin, who co-stars as a mean junkyard owner who tosses a beloved blankie into Oscar the Grouch's trash can. (G) DOUBLE J E 0 P A R D Y * * 1 / 2 Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones are teamed for the saga of a woman who's wrongly imprisoned for murdering her husband, and righdy miffed when she learns he's actually alive and living with another woman. When she gets out, she figures that, as long as she can't be tried for the same crime twice, she might as well commit it once. So she packs some heat and pays him a visit. (R) T H E T H O M A S CROWN A F F A I R * * * If Entrapment left you wanting more (now there's a comical thought), here's another romantic" saga about a debonair art thief with a sultry insur-

ance agent on his trail. Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo star in John McTiernan's remake of the 1968 Steve McQueen favorite. (R) STAR WARS EPISODE 1: T H E P H A N T O M M E N A C E * * Forget the Force — may the No-Doz be with you if you decide to sit through George Lucas' over-hyped and under-written saga about Jedi knights (Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor) trying to save a planet from invasion. The dialogue is stunningly banal. Ditto the new characters and most of the derivative action sequences. Short on warmth and humor, and long on computer imaging, the director succeeds less as a fleshed-out story than as an ad for his special effects business, and an opportunity to make millions in merchandising tie-ins. (PG) MICKEY B L U E E Y E S * * So analyze this: Hugh Grant stars as an art dealer who winds up involved with a bunch of gangsters in this fish-outof-water Mob comedy from director Kelly Makin. Sound like anything you saw Billy Crystal in recently? (PG-13) M Y S T E R Y M E N * * * Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, Paul Reubens and William Macy are among the men who make up this team of offbeat superheroes. What's mysterious is that Janeane Garofalo is on the odd squad, too. Adapted from a cult-classic comic book by Kinka Usher. (PG-13) B O W F I N G E R * * * Among the most eagerly awaited comedies of the summer is the latest from star-writer Steve Martin, the story of a sad-sack movie producer who tries to get a major star in his picture by stalking and shooting around him. Eddie Murphy and Heather Graham costar. Frank Oz directs. (PG-13) FOR LOVE OF T H E G A M E * * * 1 7 2 Kevin Costner has had precious few hits since the last time he held a baseball bat. So, in what many consider die bottom of the ninth of his career, the actor steps back up to the plate for his third baseball film, the story of an all-star pitcher on his way down. With Kelly Preston. (PG-13) DUDLEY D O - R I G H T * * 1 / 2 Director Hugh (Blast From the Past) Wilson reteams with Brendan Fraser for a live-action adaptation of the popular '60s cartoon from Jay Ward, the guy who also gave us George of the Jungle. With Alfred Molina and Sarah Jessica Parker. (PG)

between the scenes Above are production stills from four well-known films. In each, one or more of the picture's stars has been caught between takes talking shop with the film's director. Your job, as you've no doubt guessed, is to process all available clues — costume, set, the combination of personnel, etc. — and come up with the title of the movie they're in the middle of making.

T h e distributor shaft was worn out, and moisture was coming right up that shaft from the engine. So, in effect, we made things worse by sealing all that moisture in! RAY: And what almost all manufacturers have done since then is come out with vented caps. T h e vent looks like a little smokestack with a cover on top — kind of like a chimney cap on a house. It's designed so that moisture can get out, but can't easily get in. And that's what you need, Clyde.

Dear Cecil, What is the origin of the Wiccan religion? Most Wiccans you talk to say the religion is an extension of ancient, matriarchal Earth worship and will attempt to turn you into a frog if you disagree. Others point to a descendancy from medieval healers and claim close kinship with all those who were burnt at the stake for allegedly conjuring up spirits, riding on brooms (there's that again) and otherwise hobnobbing with demons. However, some say Wicca as currently practiced is a modern invention and point to the works of a follower ofAleister Crowley, one Gerald Gardner, as the actual starting point of this religion. At least these people don't attempt to magically mess with your personal space.

ies the best things in life are

To my mind, linking modern Wicca with ancient paganism is like trying to assert that modern Freemasonry got its start with the building of Solomon's temple, but that's just me. Maybe you can shed some light. — Patrick Malone, via AOL The nice thing about writing for the alternative press is that you don't have to cover a lot of boring village board meetings. However, you do occasionally get letters from affronted witches. Not that riling the Wiccans was originally my plan. It's just that every time I discuss witches in less than effusive terms, as I did September 3, I hear from folks who act like I just insulted their relatives. The assumption is that modern pagans (neopagans, Wiccans, witches — take your pick) are linear descendants of medieval witches. Some take it farther and say Wicca directly descends — in the sense of being handed down continuously from one generation to the next — from the pre-Christian, pan- or polytheistic "old religion" that was driven underground but never completely destroyed by the papist upstarts. To put it as kindly as I can: This be wack, Jack. There is no evidence for historical continuity between the pagan religious practices of antiquity (or even the Middle Ages) and modern Wicca. On the contrary, there's lots of evidence that Wicca is a modern invention. What's more, this is cheerfully conceded by many leading Wiccans, who point to the roll-your-own character of much Wiccan ritual as one of its great strengths. Since my credibility on this score has been called into question, let me turn to the work of the respected Wiccan writer Margot Adler. In Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today (1979) Adler writes, "The Wiccan revival starts with a myth, [that] Witchcraft is a religion that dates back to paleolithic times, to the worship of the god of the hunt and the goddess of fertility... Today most

revivalist Witches in North America accept the universal Old Religion more as metaphor than as literal reality — a spiritual truth more than a geographic one." So how did 20th-century Wicca get started? Power of the pen, babe. According to Adler, several writers helped stir public interest in witchcraft. One was Margaret Murray, who published The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (1921) and several more books. Murray argued that medieval witches practiced an ancient fertility religion she called the Dianic cult. While this was obviously a seminal idea, as it were, Adler says that "most scholars today view her work as filled with errors." An even more controversial figure is Gerald Gardner, an amateur anthropologist and folklorist who claimed he'd been initiated into a coven in 1939 and who wrote two influential books, Witchcraft Today (1954) and The Meaning of Witchcraft (1959). Among other things, he popularized the idea that witchcraft rituals ought to be conducted in the nude, a notion that titillated the masses for years. Gardner's work contained a lot of archaic-sounding rituals, some of which supposedly originated in a 16th-century "Book of Shadows." But it's been pretty well established that Gardner, who was influenced by occultists like Aleister Crowley, wrote or commissioned most of this stuff himself. So, is Wicca a fraud? That's such a negative way of putting it. Quite a few world religions are built on shaky stories — you think God really gave Moses the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone? Many credit Gardner with giving Wicca its contemporary feminist slant, with its emphasis on the Goddess. (In Murray's account, female witches were subordinate to a male sometimes known as the Black Man.) Personally I find the "an ye harm none" stuff a bit rich, but I'm a live-and-let-live kinda guy. Just don't go putting on airs. ® — CECIL ADAMS

QsL2!LJIQ1lJl ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): M o r e and more, it looks like I'll never again have to moonlight as a dishwasher at Denny's. So many publications now carry m y astrology column that cat food may n o longer have to appear o n m y m e n u in the last days each m o n t h before the next paychecks arrive. I suspect that m y growing good luck with money has partially to d o with what I did during the Halloween season three years ago. Acting o n the theory that you tend to become what you pretend to be, I masqueraded as a rich investment banker for five days. I even hired a limo to pick m e up in front of my house a n d drive m e around the block to m y h o m e office next door. I suggest you try out this theory yourself, Aries. T h e cosmos is eager to cooperate with any efforts you make to get richer quicker.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): At the rate you're spinning o u t contradictions, Taurus, I wouldn't be surprised if this Halloween you masquerade as a n u n competing in a wet T-shirt contest, or a stutterer w h o speaks six languages, or a fierce warrior pushing a baby carriage full of baby dolls a n d stuffed animals. H m m m . C o m e to think of it, that last scenario might be one of the very best ways to express the dueling spirits in your life right now.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): According to Japanese legend, if you fold a thousand paper cranes, t h e gods will cure what ails you. Some of the frat boys I knew when I attended D u k e University prop o u n d e d t h e theory that you could achieve t h e same effect by peeling the labels off 101 beer bottles. Myself, I keep an open m i n d o n the subject. In m y experience, good medicine has come from some pretty curious sources. T h i s week, for instance, I'd be willing to believe you could cure your malaise by peeling the skins off 55 grapes a n d feeding t h e m to a wild-eyed Muse. Halloween masquerade suggestions: love slave, temple prostitute, nurse or doctor in a porn movie.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): In the occult imagery of the Tarot cards, hair is said to be symbolic of the power of the mind. In the Star card, for instance, the w o m a n with the thick weave of long blonde locks represents lush, expansive intelligence. I bring this up, Cancer, because this is an excellent time to work on making yourself smarter. To get this project off to a f u n start (and remember, play is a great I Q booster), I suggest you create a huge and glorious coiffure for yourself this Halloween. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): As I meditate on your horoscope, I'm thinking about the time the lesbian from Amnesty International kissed me outside the pungent-smelling herb shop in Chinatown while a gang of elegantly dressed thugs orchestrated a drug deal in a nearby alley. Something tells me you'll experience an analogous version of this scene during the upcoming Halloween season, Leo. An exotic and oddly confidence-building thrill will take place within shouting distance of some high-class risky business. Halloween masquerade suggestions: a sexy revolutionary, a gender outlaw carrying a briefcase full of $100 bills, a pitbull wearing gorgeous duds, H u m p t y D u m p t y in armor.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): G o o d news, Virgo: You're not suffering from involutional melancholia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, hysteroid dysphoria or hundreds of other illnesses. However, your barely suppressed congenital hypochondria is close to erupting. T h e best antidote for the fear, of course, is to make f u n of the fear. That's why I advise you to take full advantage of the Halloween spirit to masquerade

as a victim of the most vivid diseases you can imagine. Adorn yourself with fake brain tumors, leprosy, gingivitis, pinkeye and elephantiasis.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I dreamed you had enrolled in wizard school. You wanted to learn how to cast evil spells on the most troublesome people in your life. I begged you to stop; it was bad karma. "But they have unfair advantages over me," you moaned, "and wicked magic is m y only recourse." I had to admit that I was secretly pleased you were finally fighting back. In actual waking life, you too often let people walk all over you. But in the dream, I suggested a different remedy. " W h y don't you merely masquerade as a sorcerer this Halloween," I told you. "Maybe that'll awaken a little badness in your soul, which will in turn make your chronic goodness more effective."

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Thanks for the entertaining 10 months, Scorpio. Since last January, you've made bold and controversial efforts to rewrite history. You've sent a nagging demon packing and put a sick rumor to rest. You've done enough hard labor to pay off more than half of your karmic debts left over from the old days. You've even begun to dissolve your outdated psychosexual imprints. Before I give you your reward, though, I'd like to see you make a bit more progress on exploiting your addictive, fanatical, obsessive nature. Halloween masquerade suggestions: the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, Martha Stewart, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, Jim Carrey, Marcel Proust, Friedrich Nietzsche, Tupac Shakur, Janis Joplin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You can take your mask off now, Capricorn. You say you're not wearing a mask? O h , but you are.
