This 1959 William Castle classic introduced his “Emergo” gimmick in which he placed pulleys in some theaters to cause plastic skeletons to flow over the audience in certain scenes. John Goodman played a William Castle type producer in the 1993 film Matinee. This film stars Vincent Price.
Part two of our double feature is Vincent Price in the 1946 thriller Shock.
FLAGSTAFF—You might be aware through the negative ad campaigns that Barrack Hussein Obama is defending his office against Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Ann Kirkpatrick is trying to get back into office despite the efforts of Jonathan Paton, and Jeff Flake is trying to stave off Richard Carmona. You may not know about the two Independent candidates for U.S. Senator who might actually be the best choice since there are no negative ad campaigns against them.
On the county level you have very little choice even though Proposition 121 — the no choice initiative — has yet to pass. In the county supervisor race for District 1, Democrat Art Babbot will face Change Status Quo challenger Gail Dent. Incumbent Matt Ryan will defend his county supervisor seat against Independent Jack Darum of Flagstaff in District 3.
Democratic Patty Hansen is facing off with Independent Troy Troutman of Parks for the office of County Recorder.
For Judge of Superior Court for Division 5, Cathleen Nichols is running against Republican Gary Robbins. There is also a list of judges up for retention.
All other candidates for county office are running unopposed.
Write-in candidates for the November 6th election include presidential electors, two Independents for Senator and one candidate for council member of the Town of Tusayan—Robert Evans. The two Independents running as write-in for U.A. Senator are Don Manspeaker and Steven Watts.

WILLIAMS—The City Southeast Prescribed Fire three-miles southeast of Williams obviously received approval. A plum of smoke rose into the sky about 1 p.m. today and, as predicted, most of the smoke drifted toward Garland Prairie.
Crews plan to backline up to 500-acres over four days to establish and reinforce containment lines for a broadcast burn at a later date.
Smoke will be visible in Williams and along portions of I-40 and County Road 73. Managers expect smoke to drift toward Garland Prairie during the day and down Sycamore Canyon at night.
Crews will implement, monitor, and patrol the burn to ensure it meets the goals and objectives outlined in the prescribed fire plan. Prescribed burns are used to improve forest health, reduce hazardous fuels, and return fire to a fire-adapted ecosystem.
WILLIAMS—While trick-or-treating in Williams will be business as usual, most forget that the businesses downtown usually participate as well.
The hundred year old St. John’s Episcopal-Luthern Church is conducting Day of the Dead celebrations at 202 W. Grant Avenue through Sunday, November 4. Call (928) 635-2781 for times.
The Community United Methodist Church in Williams, 127 West Sherman Avenue, will be hosting their annual Trunk-or-Treat beginning at dusk.
Both churches can be accessed on 2nd Avenue.
