So maybe you’re opting to spend your Halloween indoors – far from the madding crowd decked out in Barney costumes. And why not? You can have a ghoulishly good time hanging out in cyberspace.
Punch in “occult” and you’ll discover zillions of Web sites that redefine weird. Like Yaohushua (http://www.wr.com.au/yaohush/healer2.html), a cyber exorcist who advocates banning rock CDs and stuffed toys. … Or the Witchcraft Bible Study site (http://www.acts17-11.com/witchcraft.html): “It is the witch in us that must die!” … Or Matrix Software’s comparatively tame on-line Tarot readings (http://thenewage.com/root/ms/tarot/tarot.html).
Our personal favorite is the occult chat room (http://www3.chathouse.com/occult), where we logged on under the handle “Vixen” and were chased from room to room by the BootyBandit.
“Vixen, come towards the light,” the BootyBandit entreated us. “We won’t bite, just spank.”
Now that’s scary.
