'Moonlight and Tombstones' and 'Blood Moon Dawning,' spooky songs from the Harp Twins for Halloween


I'm continuing my celebration of spooky season with music from Camille and Kennerly, the Harp Twins. I begin with the video they released on Friday the 13th last year, Moonlight and Tombstones (Celtic Gothic) - Harp Twins original.

MOONLIGHT AND TOMBSTONES is from our new dark fantasy ORIGINAL album, Twin Destinies! The companion dark fantasy novel was written by New York Times Bestselling author, Debbie ViguiƩ!
The Harp Twins continue with the moon theme in Blood Moon Dawning (Gothic Celtic) - Harp Twins original.

BLOOD MOON DAWNING is from our new dark fantasy ORIGINAL album, Twin Destinies!
As I wrote last year, the Harp Twins have five more videos of songs from the Twin Destinies and Celtic Charms albums on their YouTube channel, but I'm saving them for future Halloween posts. I'm an environmentalist who conserves his resources, after all.

I close this post with a drink recipe, Slayer's Blood: A "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Inspired Cocktail to reflect the vampire allusions in the songs.

INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz vodka
1.5 oz pomegranate juice
1.5 oz blood orange juice
1 tbsp simple syrup
Half a lime

Red Candy “Blood” for Rimming Glass
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup water
red food coloring

Combine sugar, water, and syrup in a sauce pan. Cook over medium-high heat until it reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir in food coloring. While the mixture is still hot dip in cocktail glasses. As the candy cools it will drip slightly down the glasses And harden in place.
Drink responsibly and stay tuned for more Halloween posts through the end of the month plus a bonus Day of the Dead entry. Trick or treat!
