Welcome, children, to our terrifying Halloween issue. Between these spectral covers, we investigate a doomed friendship between two famous artists, delve into the darker side of our own senses, explore the dangerous omens of beetles, and creep into the underworld in a new Muse Mini-Myth. Yay!--err, we mean, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! There are also some creepy flies pinned to a wall. Skeptical? Just you wait and see.

What's damp, jiggly, and would be really scary to accidentally stick your hand into if you were alone in a dark kitchen looking for a midnight snack? Find out in our hilarious new Muserology (and then submit one yourself!). Feeling fictional? Send in your scariest ghost story to our new contest, and don't forget about our BONUS video contest. Check out the winners of April's aluminum sculpture contest here. 

Until we meet again, Muse-lings...
