Just in time for Halloween! I redid the for Night Chill vid I did a few years ago using a 1920's home movie tribute to Lon Chaney's "London After Midnight". The old vid had an annoying watermark and timestamp but I found a better quality vid and I also reedited it www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K94...

RIP CKLN & CIUT DJ Chris Twomey. An important figure in introducing Industrial Music to Toronto in the 1980's when it was abrasive experimental noise music that would NEVER be played anywhere else. Besides his radio shows he did the Chris Twomey Industrial Road Show, www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbU5...
