McKendry and her crew do a great job of hitting the right mix of horror and fun so integral to Halloween yet so difficult to actually achieve. The short looks great, very polished and professional, and at just over two minutes long it&#8217;s the perfect bite-sized treat to help get you through the long days left between now and Halloween.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/BluGilliand\" target=\"_blank\">Blu Gilliand<\/a> is the managing editor of<\/strong><\/em> <strong>Cemetery Dance<\/strong><em><strong> Magazine and Cemetery Dance Online.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Internet has given us many things we could probably have lived without, it delivers plenty of good as well&#8212;this site being one of them, of course.
