Hot Halloween hangs? We got you covered

W elcome to the third annual Halloween edition of GO. Since 2010, we have tried to provide the most comprehensive and entertaining Hal-

loween event planner for our readers, and I hope you agree that the GO staff really hit the pumpkin out of the patch this time.

Inside these pages, you will get the skinny on haunted attractions and cemetery tours, horror fi lms and ghost stories, parties that are family-friendly, parties for adults only, zombie pub crawls, dinners with psychics and much more. You’ll even learn how

to make your own Halloween-themed specialty cocktails.

One thing Maine doesn’t have is a spooky experience combined with an amusement park. Lucky for us, there’s just such a place across state lines in Salem, N.H., where Canobie Lake Park is hosting its annual Screeemfest.

I took my family to Cano-bie last weekend, and it’s got enough to make people of all

ages happy. There are fi ve haunted attractions, in-cluding a fog-fi lled cornfi eld maze (where more than corn is reaped), a slaughterhouse (mystery meat!), a “fun house” (coulrophobia sufferers beware) and a lake populated by cannibals (Jason Voorhees, eat your heart out – literally). Various ghouls, goblins and people in various states of dismemberment wan-der the park to harass people waiting in line.

For tamer fare, you can ride most of the park’s attractions before and after dark, munch on inter-national cuisine at the Oktoberfest area or take in a stage show, including a Madonna impersonator and a KISS tribute band consisting of little people. (If you go, take time to see Mini KISS. Trust me on this.)

Two words of advice: Allow for plenty of time to experience the haunted attractions, because the lines can get LONG – like, an hour’s wait or so. And if you’re averse to strobe lights or prone to claustro-phobia, you’re probably better off avoiding the indoor haunted houses altogether.

Screeemfest continues 6 to 11 p.m. Friday, 1 to 11 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday, with the outdoor haunted areas opening at 6:30 each night. Admission is $28.99 to $32.99 ($17.99 for children under 4 feet tall and seniors ages 61 and older). Chil-dren ages 3 and under get in free. Go to canobie.com for more info.

DON’T FORGET to send in your Halloween photos to enter the GO Halloween Costume Contest and become eligible for four free tickets to a Portland Pirates hockey game.

To enter, email a photo to features@pressherald.com by noon Nov. 1 and in-clude the following:

n Your name and town of residence.n Your phone number. (This will NOT be posted

online.)n The name of the person or pet in the photo.n The age of the person in the photo if under age

18.n Name of a parent or legal guardian if the person

It would be a grave mistake to miss a visit to Maine by the hot pop band. ByRAYROUTHIER

StajfWriter ometimes, a very simple song can strike a very strong reaction.

Such is the case with the smash hit that put the pop band fun. on the musical map this year, "We Are Young."

"Tonight, we are young/ So let's set the world on fire/ We can burn brighter/ Than the sun." "When we wrote that, we thought it might be a single, but not a hit song by any means," said

Andrew Dost, keyboard player for the New York City-based band. "We try to develop an album like it's a work of art. We sort of viewed that song as our mission statement, using all the ele­ments we wanted on the album."

Mission accomplished. "We Are Young" (featuring guest vocalist Janelle Monae) has a rich sound, a catchy refrain

and a youthful message, and it's easy to sing along to. All those things combined made it a

Will Gattis wrote his first song in elementary school. His musical influences include The Beatles and Nobuo Uematsu, former music composer for the "Final Fantasy" video games.

Gattis' latest EP explores life's dreams denied, realized Falmouth-based singer-songwriter/

pianist Will Gattis released his debut album, "Dullard," while still in high

school. A few years later, he followed that up with an EP called, appropriately enough, "E.P" - which is home to his poignant ballad "Metropolis," about the

death of a super­hero.

Now Gattis is back in action with a new four-song EP, "The Living Dream," which he will unveil next Thursday at Empire Dine and Dance in Portland. GO caught up with him to get the skin­ny on the new tunes

and to get a glimpse into his background. To learn more, hear clips and purchase

Gattis' music, head to willgattis.com.

"The Living Dream" is a digital-only release. Why did you decide to go with a name-your-own-price format for it?

It seems to me to be the fairest pricing method. People can pay me whatever my music is worth to them. If someone wants to hear my music, I'm not going to deny them that opportunity on account of the price being too high. I might be doing it differently if I was in music for the money,

Aimsel Ponti Making Noise

but then again, I'd have to be pretty crazy to be in music just for the money.

Why is it called "The Living Dream"? It's the first time I've taken an actual

lyric from a song and used it as the title of a release. I like the sound of it, and it expresses the theme of the EP nicely. Every song on "The Living Dream" has to do with "living the dream," either as being granted or denied the ability to do so.

What's the song "Lee Weston" about? What inspired it?

"Lee"' is a caricature of my view of the negative aspects of suburbia, and it was a reflection of my having grown up in a very suburban world. The direct inspiration was a picture I once saw of a guy with a mustache who looked halfway between a used car salesman and a game show host.

This was a few years ago. My friend Brandon and I started playing a silly song about him, but then we forgot about it. I remembered a piece of that jam a few years later, and I added the story of Mr. Weston's increasingly large ego.

When did you start playing piano and writing songs?

I've been playing as long as I can remember, but I started getting formal

REVIEW

Fawcett's latest exudes ingenuity, emotionBy KRISTIN DiCARA-McCLELLAN

Before 1998, only a handful of womenmusicians were able to emergeand break the glass ceiling. To-

day, women are taking the stage bystorm. I give the Internet much of thecredit here - women in particular havebenefited from the ease of sharingmusic with only the touch of a key on akeyboard. They can now learn the toolsof the trade on their own to back theirmusic careers.

Portland musician Andi Fawcett hasgrown up musically during this renais-sance for women. She has been on themusic scene for about 10 years, singinglead for various bands before eventuallystarting Doubting Gravity in 2005. Shereleased her first solo CD two years agoto great reviews.

Her newest effort is a four-song epony-mous EJ^ which highlights her song-writing skills coupled with her emotivespirit.

The first track, "Angel Down," is atouching tribute to a loved one: "I watchit try to break it down/1 watch it try tomake you feel the weight of the sound/Of the voices that tell you, 'Just let go'/But you don't, for me I know."

Fawcett's signature acoustic guitar-playing starts the song off, then sheadds her delicate voice, which waversa bit in honesty and truth. She hits the

- Based on a four-star scale

nail on the head for song structure, asshe then moves into a big lush choruswith a fat synth sound and vocals reach-ing for an ever-so-elusive brass ring inthe composite of it all.

The second track, "Best Wasted,"has a cool, funky groove (credit toJosh Prescott on bass), illustrating thediversity in Fawcett's pop/rock artillery,as she can add some funky soul into themix. She's got an edge here, capturingher enterprising talents to change upher sound a bit.

Overall, these four tracks are a strongtestament to Fawcett's ingenuity andzeal in her craft. My only complaintis the voice/instrumentation mix, asFawcett's voice, while beautiful, was instark contrast many times to the moresoftly mixed instrumental. If the vocalshifted, as it did many times throughthe truly passionate delivery, it becamevery apparent where she would fall flator sharp against the backdrop.

Nonetheless, I look forward to whatthe future holds for these musicians.They probably won't be coming down toEarth anytime soon, as they seek andconquer somewhere in the collectivecosmos of life's mysteries while ponder-ing Newton's theory artistically.

piano lessons at age 8. The first songI remember writing was in eithersecond or third grade. It was eightnotes, and it was called "Colors ofthe Rainbow." I don't remember thelyrics, but I'm almost positive I didn'tmention any specific colors. I've comea long way.

What did you grow up listening to?My parents did a good job of expos-

ing me to classic '60s bands when I wasgrowing up, and I'm still a huge Beatlesnut as a result. My favorite music grow-ing up, though, was video game music.Specifically, music from the "Final Fan-tasy" series. I would leave the gamesrunning and try to figure out the songsby ear on the piano.

Who do you consider to be majorinfluences?

The biggest one is Nobuo Uematsu.Uematsu used to be the music composefor "Final Fantasy" games, and I fell inlove with the way he could express non-musical things musically. Every character,place and situation that needed a themesong was perfectly captured in music.It's because of him that I try so hard tocapture non-musical things in my songs.Uematsu is easily my greatest musicalinfluence.

Other than him, the way that The Bea-tles tried to do something different withevery song remains a major influence onme. Also, if it plays on a classic rock sta-tion, it's probably influenced me.

10 GREAT HORROR MOVIES YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF

By DENNIS PERKINS or some of us, Halloween is

a year-round thing movie-wise. We seek out the

creepiest, the goriest, the just outright wrong-est horror movies the globe has to offer. And, frankly, we look at the last-minute October horror tourists scrambling around the video store shelves for their one "scary

movie" night of the year like a guy with New York license plates asking, "Hey sport - where's a guy get one o' them lobsters around here?"

Luckily, this particular horror snob is using his powers for good (albeit in service of evil movies) this year in order to help you spice up your Halloween night. So here are my picks for 10 great overlooked horror movies:

"Pontypool" (2008): Don Imus-like

Please see HORROR, Page E"4

Our resident film geek loves to have the bejesus scared out of him. Today, he shares favorite flicks that were up to the challenge.

"The Orphanage," at left, and "Pontypool," below, rise to the level of greatness in the horror genre, as do, bottom, from left, "The House of the Devil," "Martin" and "Behind the Mask."

Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in "Cloud Atlas," a movie Berry says reminds her thatwhat we do reverberates throughout time. Hugo Weaving, below, takes aim.

'Cloud Atlas' tries to match theexperience of reading the book

By JOHN ANDERSONMcClatchy Newspapers

Recently, David Mitchell, the authorof "Cloud Atlas," was sitting with LanaWachowski, the co-director and screen-writer of "Cloud Atlas," watching theirmutual movie. At some point, Mitchellleaned over and asked who wrote a par-ticular line of dialogue.

"That's yours, you idiot," said Wa-chowski. At least according to Mitchell.

The point: The seams between Mitch-ell's best-selling novel and the movieopening Friday - directed by Lana andAndy Wachowski ("The Matrix) and Ger-man filmmaker Tom Tykwer ("Run LolaRun") - are fairly invisible, at least interms of meaning and message. Just asthe book imparted a story of cosmic soli-darity, karmic responsibility and spiri-tual unity, so does the film adaptation,which stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry anda cast that numbers far fewer than thecharacters.

At the same time, readers of the verypopular novel set in 1936 Scotland - and1973 San Francisco, 2012 England, 2144"Neo Seoul" and the South Pacific of1949 - are going to find a very differentbeast on screen than what they foundbetween the covers of the book: Ratherthan the six "nesting" narratives, eachof which was being read by the principalof each successive story line, the movietakes a "mosaic" strategy, telling thehalf-dozen stories simultaneously. Or asclose to that as possible.

The question: To read or not to read?"I would see the movie first," Hanks

said, with just a hint of mischief. "Imag-ining the story is very different fromseeing it on screen, so forget the book,see the movie first, and if you want tolearn more ...," he said, affecting thevoice of a bygone TV announcer, "...pick up the book. There are substantial

differences. Of course, a lot got droppedout. And Andy, Lana and Tom addedquite a few embellishments that DavidMitchell didn't."

Fan re-created 'Star Wars' isa goofy, nerdy collage of fun

Indie Film

After the 20th Century Fox logo'ssearchlights turn into lightsabers andduel, the opening line, "A long time

ago, in a galaxy far, far away" appears- on someone's Twitter feed. Then JohnWilliams' familiar theme blasts forth overthe famous explanatory crawl - which isfollowed by user comments like "the em-pire sux" (from username "4ce4real").

A pan over the vastfield of stars is brokenby the appearance ofa tiny rebel blockaderunner, and then theimpossibly massiveimperial star de-stroyer (all rendered

Just what the heck is going on here?It's "Star Wars Uncut," a fan-created re-

creation of George Lucas' legendary sci-ficlassic, where fanboys and fangirls fromall over the globe sent in their 15-secondre-creations of every moment of the origi-nal film. Edited together from hundredsof such entries, the resulting amalgam,playing at Space Gallery in Portland, isnigh-unmissable fun for "Star Wars" fansof all eras. (And Space knows it - the7:30 p.m. screening on Tuesday is free andopen to all ages.)

Legos, stop-motion, pen-and-pencildrawings, a baby with Princess Leia hair,approximations of every video gamesystem ever, "Waking Life"-style rotoscop-ing, good old "guys dressed up in cheapcostumes," cats in Jawa robes - "StarWars Uncut" renders every single sceneof the film in every conceivable variety of

styles. Every 15-second segment, fromthe ambitious to the amateurish, are donewith all the imagination and creativity thata "Star Wars" nerd with too much time onhis hands can muster.

For any fan of the film, this rapid-firecollage of fan-filmed homages is a nonstopgiggle machine, a testament to the obses-sive, affectionate solidarity of everyonewho came to the original films at just theright age to... well, spend their time craft-ing a dozen marshmallow stormtroopersor the perfect Chewbacca scream.

Sure, some segments are better thanothers, and the film's insistence on visual-izing every single second of the originalfilm (even Luke at his whiniest) means itdrags once in a while (much as, well, "StarWars" did), but the sheer volume and paceof the clips means that something new isright around the corner. I'd re-watch thisover "The Phantom Menace" any day.

It's loving, goofy and pure nerd-bait if,like me (and Seth Green, presumably),you spent countless hours acting out thefilms with your action figures.

You know, when we were kids.Obviously...

NEW ON THE SHELF

"ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER,"starring Benjamin Walker and Rufus Sewell.Another history/monster mash-up, this patentlyridiculous but admirably straight-faced action-horror provides exactly what the title promises:A chance to watch Honest Abe (Walker) fighta bunch of bloodsuckers led by a very gameSewell, whose plot to take over the United Statesconvinces Lincoln to go into politics (a factoidwe apparently overlooked in our high schoolhistory class). Refreshingly free of snarkinessdespite its knowingly silly setup, "Lincoln" iswell-constructed drive-in fare that should givehistory majors and horror fans a rare opportunityto bond. Rated R. Running time: 1:45

Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $39.99

"MAGIC MIKE," starring Charming Tatum andMatthew McConaughey. Never one to shy awayfrom unpredictability, director Steven Soder-bergh ("Out of Sight") turns his introspectivecamera towards the seemingly uncomplicatedworld of male strip clubs. Star Tatum's real-lifeexperiences and former profession are used as aloose basis for this likable and often very funnytale of an aspiring furniture designer moonlight-ing as a stripper by night, taking a newcomerunder his wing while wooing his new pupil'sskeptical sister. Lording over this odd universeis club owner Dallas (McConaughey, essentiallyplaying himself and having a high old time doingso), a longtime professional stripper determinedto show the ladies of Tampa a good time. Specialfeatures include deleted dance scenes and back-stage footage. Rated R. Running time: 1:50

Suggested retail price: $28.98; Blu-ray $35.99

"SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THEWORLD," starring Steve Carell and Keira Knight-ley. Not your average apocalyptic romantic com-edy, this winningly observant debut from direc-tor Lorene Scafaria pairs newly single insurancesalesman Carell with somewhat scatterbrainedneighbor Knightley as they navigate a newlyout-of-control Earth, one that's recently learnedthat an asteroid is on its way to destroy them allin a few weeks. This prompts its citizens to em-bark upon a mad, hedonistic scramble to cramin as much living as possible before it strikes.Meanwhile, our heroes just want to reunite withformer lovers and long-lost family, and theirquest to fulfill this simple desire amidst chaosis by turns hilarious, frightening and ultimatelyvery touching. Rated R. Running time: 1:41

Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $34.98

Last year's Halloween-themed concert was a smash hit for the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

oos-ness as usua ? arPSO Maestro Robert Moody plans some spooky surprises for this year's 'Trick-or-Treat Symphony.'

By BOB KEYESStaffWriter

obert Moody does not like giving awaysecrets. So don't bother asking whathe plans to be for Halloween.

"It is a character that is belovedto me for many, many years," themaestro vaguely hinted.

We'll find out Sunday at MerrillAuditorium, when Moody leadsthe Portland Symphony Orchestrathrough its second Halloween-themed Discovery concert, theaptly titled "Trick-or-Treat Sym-

phony."For last year's show, Moody, the

PSO's music director, rose from a cof-fin dressed as Dracula. He admits, "It'shard to top coming out of a coffin. Butwe are working on the next-best thing."

The Discovery concert series is de-signed for families. The concerts lastabout one hour, and are meant to befun and light, but not without seriousmusic performed by the full orchestra.

Sunday's concert will include "Nighton Bald Mountain" from "Fantasia"accompanied by dancers from Portland

Ballet, as well "Danse Macabre" by theFrench composer Camille Saint-Saens,featuring principal violinist CharlesDimmick.

Moody has a sci-fi medley plannedwith great songs from Hollywood thrill-ers bunched into one. And there will belight moments as well: Expect to hearthe classical music version of "Mon-ster Mash" and watch Moody lead anaudience-wide dance-along to MichaelJackson's "Thriller" - with lessons

The musicians get in the spirit for last year's PSO Halloween concert.

out in front at City Hall Plaza beforethe show, so you can bone up on yourmoves and not embarrass your kids.

Members of the orchestra will dressup, and the audience is encouragedto dress up as well. There will be acostume contest and a hands-on instru-ment "petting zoo" prior to the concert.

Moody has championed the Discoveryconcert series for many years, but theorchestra waited to launch it until itknew it could pay for it. Last year's Hal-loween show was so successful, it wasan easy decision to bring it back.

This season, the PSO will play asecond Discovery concert in the spring,and Moody hopes to expand it to athree-concert series in following years.

The orchestra received funding fromTD Bank to help pay for the series, andat last year's "Magic of Christmas"concerts, Moody asked the audience forcash donations. Ushers passed the hat,and enough money came forth to sup-port this year's Halloween concert.

"Last year's Halloween concert wasreally a pilot concert to see if there wasenough interest. The concert sold outso very quickly, it was just incredible tosee this idea and this vision come true,"Moody said.

"We're doing it in a way that we makeabsolutely sure we can fund it beforewe put the concerts on. We are breakingfrom the mold of 'plan the concert andfigure out how to pay for it later.' This isbeing done in all the right ways - artis-tically and entertainment-wise, as wellas financially."

It's important that folks understandthe PSO will not do a Halloween concertevery year, Moody said.

"But because it was so successful inthe first year and still close enoughto the actual day of Halloween, it justseemed like the right thing to do onemore time," he said.

Maine restaurants have allkinds of spooky libations in storecome All Hallow's Eve. Hereare some of the more fun onesthat you can try at home. Watchfor more Halloween cocktailrecipes in our Wednesday Food& Dining section.

What better time than Hal-loween to break out the blackvodka? Black vodka is made,

according to Blavod Original PureBlack Vodka, by adding an herb calledcatechu that grows in southern Asiaand central and east Africa. The herbhas no effect on the vodka's flavor.

The bartenders at Walter's, 2 PortlandSquare in Portland, use black vodka tomake a drink they call the "BarnabasCollins." For those of you under 40 orallergic to Johnny Depp movies, Barn-abas Collins is the 200-year-old vampirefrom the 1960s TV series and 2012movie version of "Dark Shadows."

Brewers Festiva offers heady preview for Beer WeekThe Maine Brewers Festival, which will

feature two sessions on Nov. 3 at thePortland Expo, will kick off the night

before with an "Evening with the Brew-ers" VIP event at 6:30.The festival is not officially part of Port-land Beer Week, which runs Nov. 4-11. Butit could be viewed as an aperitif, and a lotof the same organizations are involved in

both events.Allison Stevens, the

brainchild behindPortland Beer Week,has agreed to host"Evening with theBrewers" at TheThirsty Pig, 37 Ex-

Tnitl Atwoll change St., in the Oldluin mwcn Port said Madeline

What AleS YOU Ril7' w,hofis organiz-

ing the festival.Riley said that in

many ways, "Evening with the Brewers"is the best value of the weekend.

"We originally started 'Evening with theBrewers' because the festival has gottenso big, and it is quite noisy with the bandsand everything, that people don't get totalk with the brewers," she said. "At the'Evening with the Brewers,' they have apanel discussion, and you can get a con-versation going."

The food menu for the evening willinclude a pig roast.

"It is going to be really fun," Riley said."Allison has made it all happen, and shegets to the core of what represents Mainebeer in a really fun and exciting way."

Riley said she doesn't know the list of

participants at "Evening with the Brew-ers" yet, but Nathan Sanborn of RisingTide is going to be one of them, and sheexpects she will have brewers from Ship-yard, Gritty's and Geary's - but it had notbeen finalized when I talked to her latelast week.

Tickets for "Evening with the Brewers"are $69, and are limited to 70 people. Theprice for either of the two Nov. 3 sessions-1:30 to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 10 p.m. - is$36. The price for a combination ticket of"Evening with the Brewers" and either ofthe Nov. 3 sessions is $99.

Riley said the festival is having Event-brite handle the ticket sales, so thatpart of the operation should be a littlebit smoother. You can connect to Event-brite by going to the festival website,learnyourbeer.com.

Two bands have been announced asplaying the festival. The Mallett Broth-ers Band, an alt-country/rock band fromPortland, is the headliner. Dirigo - madeup of Erik Glocklere and Luke PatchenMontgomery of Strangefolk; Stevie Jones;and RUSS Lawton of the Trey AnastasioBand - will also perform.

Riley said all of the larger Maine brew-ers will be taking part in the festival, andshe is also trying to get as many of thesmaller ones as she can.

"Some of them just don't have thecapacity to do a show like this," she said."Oxbow made a great effort last yearwhen they were just starting out, and theyare coming back. And we were really gladto get Rising Tide."

The food offerings are also beingchanged quite a bit, although Portland

Pie pizza will be coming back."Love Cupcakes, a food truck working in

the area, will be there with some beer-inspired flavors," Riley said. "Amy Grossis actually bringing soft pretzels to sell,the kind you get at fairs and carnivals,and the perfect morsel for matching withbeer. And we will have Hella Good Tacos,another food truck operator."

At the afternoon happy hour session ofthe festival, Nate Bowman of Local BrewTV - whose first pilot effort was a showabout Baxter Brewing in Lewiston - willbe taping the session for use in a futureshow, Riley said.

WE BOUGHT a mixed 12-pack ofDundee beers at the supermarketrecently, just to test it out. Dundee isbrewed in Rochester, N.Y., and owned byGenessee Brewing Co.

Dundee's first beer was Honey Brown,a middle-of-the-road brown ale good fordrinking while watching sporting events.

The beers offered in the 12-pack werePale Bock Lager, Stout, Pilsner and IndiaPale Ale.

The price for the 12-pack was $11.50,putting it well below the $15 charged bymost craft beers.

The only one of the four I really likedwas the Pale Bock Lager. It was nicelyrich, sweet and fairly complex. The IndiaPale Ale was pretty good, and the othertwo were middle-of-the-road.

The frankfurter gets lots of respect at Chicago DogsAt a lot of restaurants, hot

dogs are an afterthought.You'll scan a menu full of

steaks, burgers or seafood, andthen, at the bottom of the lastpage - under "for the kiddies"- you'll see a hot dog.

Luckily for people who believehot dogs can, and should, be thecenter of attention in a culinarysense, there is Chicago Dogs inScarborough.

At this casual, sports-themedeatery attached to a car wash,the hot dog is king. There are 12different dogs on the menu. Oryou can get a plain dog and jazzit up with the many relishes,mustards, hot sauces and othercondiments lining a counter forpublic consumption.

Each dog can be bought byitself or as part of a combo thatincludes a medium portion ofhand-cut french fries and a foun-tain drink. The combos range inprice from $5.93 for a plain dogcombo to $10.93 for the extra-large and loaded "dogzilla"combo. Most individual dogs arein the $2 or $3 price range.

When I was there on a recentlunch hour, the staff was kindenough to create for me a fatfrank/Reuben combo for $8.43.

What happened was this: FirstI saw the Reuben dog combo,which is a hot dog topped withSwiss cheese, Thousand Islanddressing and sauerkraut, justlike a Reuben sandwich. ThenI saw a fat frank combo, whichhas an extra big hot dog, so Iasked about that.

My server told me she couldcombine them. So I said, yes, dothat. By all means.

Chicago Dogs has a definite sports theme and an owner, JoePalmieri, who hosts a morning sports talk show on Portland radio.

sports taiK snow on tne Port-land AM radio station known asThe Big Jab. Not surprisingly,the place has a definite sportstheme, with TVs showing sportsnews all day long and photosof sports stars hanging on thewalls and over most tables.The booth in which I sat had apicture of famed Chicago Cubsslugger Ernie Banks.

When I ordered, my servergave me a receipt with my ordernumber, 22.

"You've got 22, Doug Flutie,"

she said without missing a beat.(Flutie, the former Boston Col-lege and NFL quarterback, wasindeed No. 22.) She did this foreveryone in line, but my mindwas not quick enough to catchall the other sports stars' namesshe attached to numbers.

My hot dog was indeed fat,as its menu moniker indicated,with a nice snap to it and a fairlymild flavor. It was on a poppyseed bun with lots of dressing,cheese and sauerkraut. It camewith a huge portion of hand-cut

fries - sort of like the ones youget at a fair, but thinner. Overall,it was a very filling lunch, prob-ably more than I should haveordered.

Other interesting dogs on themenu are the signature ChicagoDog, with tomatoes, pickles,onions, mustard, bright greenrelish, celery salt and peppers,as well as a corn dog and a chili-cheese dog.

There's also a "beef andsausages" section to the menu,which includes an Italian beef

didn't care if one read the novel first orsaw the movie (as long as one reads thebook). And of course, so many peoplehave read the book that for many thepoint is moot. (About 300,000 paperbackcopies are in print in the United Statesalone).

Ordinarily, movie adaptations ignoretheir source material rather easily.But "Cloud Atlas" is a special case. It'sabout the sea voyage of a 19th-centurySan Francisco attorney (Jim Sturgess)who aids a runaway slave (David Gyasi)and is poisoned by a shady shipmate(Hanks). And it's about a poor, pre-WorldWar I composer (Ben Whishaw) whobecomes the amanuensis of an older,famous musician (Jim Broadbent), andabout a publisher in present-day Britain(Broadbent) who's committed to a "rest

home" by his nefarious brother (HughGrant), and a 2300s Hawaiian goat herd-er (Hanks) who is visited by a womanfrom the future (Berry) and imperiledby a savage chieftain (Grant), and abouta journalist (Berry) trying to expose anincipient nuclear disaster in 1973, and agenetically engineered worker (Korea'sDoona Bae) in league with an anticor-poratist revolutionary (Sturgess) in theyear 2144.

What the movie does - and the bookcouldn't - is have the various cast playvarious characters, punctuating thetheme of eternal souls and universaloneness.

"It was just so different," Sturgesssaid. "The whole idea of it was so bi-zarre and out there, we all approached itthe same way, that it was crazy, stupid,outlandish and amazing all at the sametime. Everyone had the same attitude,which was to have fun with it ratherthan becoming stressful and intense.It was a big dress-up playtime for the

actors.""What I got from it," said Berry, "was

something I think I already knew - thatwhat we do or don't do reverberatesthroughout time. And how we act affectsothers - perhaps not just in this life. I dobelieve in reincarnation and that we'vebeen here before. My real take-awaywas to be very mindful of everything Ido and say, or support and not support,what I teach my daughter. And how Itreat other people.

"We say we're the most spoiled actorsin Hollywood," she said of the "Cloud At-las" cast. "On our next projects, we'll besaying, 'We only get to play one person?'It was the best fun you can imagine."

In explaining the approach that heand his fellow director-screenwriterstook, Andy Wachowski said what theyattempted to match was the experienceof having read the book, rather thanreading it. "You read a book, you go tobed, you think about it, you sleep onit," he said. "It impresses itself on your

subconscious. While this is happening,your brain is finding connections in thebook of the sort David Mitchell has inge-niously laid out between narratives." Toachieve the same kind of effect, he said,they "struck on this idea of the mosaic."

Those familiar with "Cloud Atlas"know the number six figures promi-nently (six story lines, the sextet writtenby Whishaw's character, James D'Arcy'scharacter, Rufus Sixsmith, etc.). Theonly actors who play six roles, however,are Hanks and Berry. So they must bethe stars.

Right?"I think Doona Bae is the main char-

acter," Hanks said of his Korean co-star."She's the one who actually articulatesthe crux of the story, and it made meslap my head in wonder: She's talking toJames D'Arcy, and she says, 'The truthis singular; its versions are mistruths.'And I said, 'Holy smoke, to have thatthrown down at the beginning of themovie! This is going to be some ride.' "

Experience sushi made ive, sake and fun at YosakuBy EMMA BOUTHILLETTE

When I walked into Yosakuin Portland on a recentSaturday night, I was over-

whelmed at how busy the smallJapanese restaurant was.

"Are there two seats at thebar?" I asked the hostess by thedoor.

She directed me toward theright-hand side of the restaurantand slapped menus down in frontof two seats at the bar. I guess Ishould have been more specific,however, because the bar whereshe sat Peter and I was the sushibar, not the cocktail bar.

Turns out there weren't twoseats at the cocktail bar for usanyway. The cocktail bar is short,with only about six bar stools. Thesushi bar is about twice as long.

And while I'm one who enjoyswatching bartenders mix cock-tails, I was even more fascinatedby the chefs working on elaboratesushi rolls in front of me. Theirnimble fingers worked quicklyas they communicated with eachother in Japanese. With a busyrestaurant, they were all businessand remained extremely focused.

I was so caught up watchingthem, I forgot to even look at thebar menu before our waitresscame around. While Yosakuoffers a full selection of whiteand red wines, its true specialtyis a range of sake selections. Ifyou're a fan of sake, you couldspend anywhere between $5 fora small carafe of Ozeki Hot Sake

Derek Davis/Staff PhotographerSake with drinking cups and a cedar box, called a masu, at Yosaku in Portland.

up to $40 for Komatsu Tatewaki"Samurai" Taru Sake.

Yosaku also has four beers ontap. Peter tried the Kirin Ichibanfor $4.50, which he said was avery tasty beer. For those unin-terested in branching out to trysomething different, the bar hasAllagash and Geary's seasonal.

The list of specialty cocktails is

limited to seven, ranging from $7to $8, but the bar is fully stocked.A couple of ladies sitting nearbywere sipping on some Cosmosthat were a light shade of pink.

And these cocktails weren'tserved in your typical martiniglass. Instead, Yosaku has theperfect solution to keeping yourdrink chilled without watering

it down: The cup of the martiniglass, minus the stem, restednicely in a small fish bowl-shapedglass filled with ice. Not only didit keep their drinks cold, it madefor a fancy way to serve thecocktail.

While Yosaku offers beer, wine,sake and cocktails, it's not thekind of bar you'd go to hang out

with a group of friends. But it'sa great spot to meet a friendor take a date. It's less aboutthe drinks and more about theexperience.

Peter and I enjoyed the enter-tainment of the sushi chefs. Folkssitting behind us enjoyed tradi-tional Japanese seating, barefootand sitting on the floor at lowtables. If you're not interested insitting on the floor or at the bar,Yosaku does have regular diningtables as well.

It's a fun place to go for some-thing different and try somethingnew, whether that's differentsake or a more adventuroussushi roll.

When fun. plays Portland's StateTheatre to a full house on Wednesday,it will be a benefit for Mainers Unitedfor Marriage, which supports same-sexmarriage. Dost said the band has lentits name to the legalization of same-sexmarriage in other states as well.

No one in the band is in a same-sex re-lationship; they just all feel strongly thatpeople should be allowed to marry whothey want, Dost said.

"I love my wife, and I just can't imagineanyone telling me I couldn't marry her,"he said. "I just don't think it's fair thatsome couples don't have the same rightsas we do."

Although the band's name is fun., Dostsays the members take their ability to

speak out on causes seriously. He un-derstands that some people involved inpolitics might want musicians to stay outof politics or social causes, but he and hisbandmates want to use their platform toimpact causes.

"A lot of bands in our position aren'tvery vocal, and I know some peopleprobably don't think it's ideal for us to bespeaking out," said Dost. "But we reallywant to use our music to make an impacton things we believe in."

Flin. is certainly having an impact onthe music scene. "We Are Young" is theonly song to receive 300,000-plus digi-tal downloads each week for six weeksstraight. The follow-up single, "SomeNights," reached No. 3, as did the albumof the same name.

The band is scheduled to be the musicalguest on the Nov. 3 episode of "SaturdayNight Live" on NBC. The host that nightwill be comedian Louis C.K., who is doinga show at Portland's Merrill Auditoriumon Nov. 7.

Dost, 29, grew up in northern Michigan,and says his parents "forced" him intopiano lessons. When he was 10 or 11, hediscovered The Beatles, and becameenthralled. He says he's always amazedthat music made more than 40 yearsago can still inspire people his age oryounger.

"I have a friend whose 15-year-old sonjust discovered The Beatles," said Dost."I think in the age of Twitter, for youngpeople to become obsessed with some-thing like that is pretty interesting."

Dost went to college to study advertis-ing, and though he didn't end up workingin the field, he thinks advertising classesthat taught him how get out a message

helps him as a songwriter and musician.After moving to New York, he joined a

band called Anathallo. His band playedon the same bill as The Format, whichfeatured vocalist Nate Ruess.

"Nate and I hit it off, and we found wehad a lot in common - Beatles songs,Harry Nilsson songs, things like that,"said Dost.

Guitarist and drummer Jack Antonoffthen joined Dost and Ruess, and fun. wasformed.

Dost says he and his bandmates grewup at a time when efforts like "Rock theVote" were showing that young people,pop culture and civic-mindedness couldmerge. He remembers seeing SineadO'Connor tearing up a picture of PopeJohn Paul II on "Saturday Night Live" toprove her conviction to her beliefs.

"But at some point, musicians stoppeddoing that, and it became uncool to care,"said Dost. "But we think it is cool tocare."

By AVERY YALE KAMILA StaffWriter

nyone who's ever read a Stephen King novel knows Maine can be a particularly creepy place. At this time of year, the fear factor increases exponen­tially as the state comes alive with events and attractions devoted to the undead.

You can experience Maine's darker side everywhere from corn mazes to cemeteries. Or, if you're particularly brave, consider visiting a Halloween attraction with a history of paranormal activity.

On the rural edge of the state along the New Hampshire border, the Parsonsfield Seminary lurks in the woods. Built in 1832, the campus includes a 42-room dormitory where the

spirits remain restless. Voices echo down empty hallways, and the

girls' side of the dormitory is said to be par­ticularly haunted.

"A couple of years ago, I was in the basement all by myself and something touched me on my head," recalled

Mary Tirrell, a member of the Friends of Parsonfield Seminary who attended the school in the 1950s when it was an elementary school. "I turned around and I thought I'd run into something, but there was nothing there."

This Friday and Saturday offers your last chance this year to experience the dimly lit seminary filled with fog, cobwebs, in­sects, carnival freaks and Frankenstein. The Halloween actors

The undead take to the streets dur ing the 2011 Z o m b i e Crawl

Even the undead can appreci ate a good beer.

Keep that in mind Satur­day night, when you see lots of ghoulish, blank-eyed figures walking down Water Street in Hallowell. They may look like they want to eat your flesh and drink your blood, but really they're in search of a good pale ale and maybe a burger.

Rare. HallowelPs Annual Zombie

Crawl is basically a hybrid of the zombie craze (have you heard about Portland's zombie kickball leagues?) and the time-honored tradition among civilized beer-drinking folks known as a pub crawl.

So it's basically people dressed as zom­bies walking down Water Street and Front Street in historic Hallowell, stopping in any one or all nine or so participating pubs and eateries.

Yes, there are so many pubs in tiny Hal­lowell, it's almost scary.

But it's the sight of all those zombies walking down a street that will make you scream - or at least point and laugh

loudly. The zombies will first appear as part of a parade at 7 p.m. Saturday, and they'll be around later during the pub crawling.

"Being on the street during the crawl is like stepping into a

~, , D , as people have transformed (JTT DG3I themselves into the walking

dead and really play the part," said Bruce Mayo, owner of Easy

Street Lounge, one of the participating pubs. "I love that about Halloween. Ev­erybody can play dress-up like we did as kids and interact with each other in this peculiar play."

But it's better, because as kids, we couldn't legally drink beer.

Mayo says that during the Zombie Crawl people do a lot of moaning and groaning, walking around yelling "brains, give us brains!" and stuff like that. Especially dur­ing the parade.

The Zombie Crawl began a few years ago as a fundraiser for a local dog rescue group, the Bully Underground Rescue

Unit (www.bullynetwork.org). All proceeds from the zombie passes go to the group.

The zombie passes ($10) get you entered into a raffle for several prizes. You still have to buy your own drinks and food, but there will be drink specials.

"I think people like to have the chance just to dress up and escape for a night," said Mayo. "With this time of the year and all the politics being crammed down our throats everywhere you turn, it's fun to be someone other than yourself for a night."

A Zombie Crawl makes perfect sense, if you think about it. As kids, we walked from house to house in the dark spooky night in search of candy. Because candy is sort of the raison d'etre for kids.

But as adults, we're in search of lively conversation, music, good food and a good beer.

And if we have to tramp through the dark night screaming "give us brains!" to get those things, so be it.

won't touch you, but the same can't be said for the spirits.

On the other side of the state, along a lonely stretch of the Penobscot River, Fort Knox has maintained a watch­ful eye since 1844. Over the years, a number of fort keepers passed away while on duty, and historians suspect others may have perished during the construction of the massive granite fortification.

Groups that range from local para­normal investigators to the stars of the Syfy series "Ghost Hunters" have found evidence of haunted happenings at Fort Knox.

For the past 13 years, the Friends of Fort Knox have hosted the fundrais-ing event Fright at the Fort. Last year, more than 9,000 people toured through the bowels of the haunted fort over the course of four nights. (A particularly impressive number when you consider the town of Prospect, where the fort is located, is home to slightly more than 600 residents.)

The theme of this year's tours, which wrap up Friday and Saturday, is Zom­bie Apocalypse.

"We try and do different concepts every year, and zombies seem to fit in with the end of the world coming in December this year," joked Leon Seymour, executive director of the Friends of Fort Knox and the master­mind behind Fright at the Fort.

As a special treat, the fort is selling a limited number of $30 tickets to folks who want to spend Halloween night inside the building. Earlier this week, there were only 10 tickets left for the overnight experience.

The tour itself features blood-soaked zombies, an indoor corn maze and a prop that came straight from Holly­wood.

But all Seymour would say about it was: "Wait for the pig."

HORROR -be, EVENTS a 1997

Continued from Page E13 release out Continued from Page E33 of Canada, finds seven strangers held captive in seven identical cube-shaped rooms, some of which are diabolically booby-trapped.

shock jock Grant Mazzy (a tour de force performance from the grizzled, mesmer­izing Stephen McHattie) is on the skids, his only job the wee-hours morning shift at a tiny station broadcasting out of a church basement in the titular tiny Ca­nadian town. One morning, as a blizzard rages outside, he and his two-person pro­duction crew start to receive rumors of unusual behavior amidst the usual traffic reports and Mazzy's rambling, sardonic monologues. Reports of people speaking strangely and, well, eating people.

A bizarre, thoughtful, darkly-comic entry in the crowded zombie genre, "Pontypool" gradually and masterfully builds tension, with the three-person crew finding out snatches of the increasingly terrifying situation alongside the audience.

"The Signal" (2007): Another attempt to wring fresh fear from the zombie concept, "The Signal" skillfully builds a world where human civilization gradually, inexplicably unravels in the face of the inexplicable. In this case, it's a mysterious broadcast whose scattered sounds and images get inside the human mind, caus­ing madness and murderous violence. As a star-crossed young couple (a very sympathetic Anessa Ramsey and Justin Welborn) fights to stay alive and find each other amidst the mounting madness, we're treated to three separate vignettes of a world gone murderously mad.

With its bloody mix of drama, gore and ghoulish dark comedy, "The Signal" will get inside your head.

"Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" (2006): Afar more clever (and scary) example of "meta-horror" than "Scream," this low-budget indie posits a world where movie-style serial killers are an accepted fact of life. A documen­tary film crew follows one such aspiring slasher Leslie Vernon (a slyly menacing Nathan Baesel) seeking to craft himself into the next big killer.

At first, the film's clever deconstruc-tion of horror tropes (if you think you're a potential slasher victim, do not hang out with a virgin) and cliches are amusing. But, just as the viewer starts to get smug and comfortable, things take a darker, more unexpected turn.

With able support from industry vets Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), Zelda Rubenstein ("Poltergeist") and, creepi­est of all, character vet Scott Wilson as Vernon's semi-retired slasher mentor, "Behind the Mask" is both an insight­ful treat for horror fans and a gripping slasher flick in its own right.

"Martin" (1976): Between his seminal zombie classics "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead," legendary direc­tor George A. Romero made this unusual, character-driven horror about a young man (John Amplas) who believes himself to be a vampire. The film plays it cagey as to whether young Martin is a bona fide bloodsucker or if he's just been driven mad by the fanatical insistence that he is from his fundamentalist (and lunatic) uncle.

Vampire or not, Martin gets up to some bloody (and very disturbing) acts and yet, in the hands of Romero's subtle direction and Amplas' troublingly sympathetic per­

formance, the character's tragic nature makes "Martin" a haunting, upsetting horror sleeper.

"Are You the Walkers?" (2011): Fea­tured on last year's edition of the Maine-made horror anthology "Damnationland," director Derek Kimball's film is a master­ful example of short-form storytelling, employing skillful editing and diabolically judicious deployment of facts to lead inexorably to one of the most chilling end­ings I've ever seen. (Yeah, I said it.)

Two estranged friends retreat for a weekend of male bonding to an isolated lakeshore cabin. A blizzard, an unex­pected knock at the door, the discovery of a strange object and the use of a horror prop so ingenious I can't believe I've nev­er seen it used before. For anyone who's ever listened to the howl of the Maine win­ter wind and prayed for morning...

"Stakeland" (2010): Like a vampiric version of "The Road," "Stakeland" posits a post-apocalyptic America where humans cower among the decaying ruins of civilization, hiding out from the con­quering bloodsuckers. A taciturn lone wanderer (Nick Damici) reluctantly takes on a young traveling companion after the boy's family is sucked dry. Together, the pair set out for a rumored sanctuary in Canada, coping with the animalistic vamps and barbaric humans who've taken up a particularly nasty brand of Christian fundamentalism.

Making effective use of its miniscule budget and delivering both exciting and bloody action and good, small-scale performances (including a nearly unrec­ognizable Kelly McGillis), "Stakeland" delivers a uniquely grim twist on the vampire genre.

"The House of the Devil" (2009) Direc­tor Ti West creates what could easily be a 1985 long-lost horror cult classic in this atmospheric, deviously-directed chiller about a young college student (Jocelin Donahue) who, desperate for money, an­swers the "babysitter wanted" flier from a creepy local couple (brilliantly played by genre vets Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov). Once she and her chirpy tag-along pal Great Gerwig arrive at the cou­ple's requisitely creepy mansion, Noonan reveals that her assignment isn't exactly what she was told, and as the night goes on, she gradually realizes things are even less ideal than she thought.

West is clearly a student of the genre, and the way he plays with the expected conventions and springs unexpected twists along the way produces alternating gasps and giggles.

"The Orphanage" (2007): In this Spanish-language haunted house flick, a woman (the exquisitely weathered Belen Rueda) moves her husband and young son back into her gothic childhood home, which she intends to turn into an orphan­age for handicapped children. Of course, there are buried secrets, hidden rooms, a spooky medium (Geraldine Chaplin) foretelling terrible things and her son's imaginary friend, a silent little guy in a creepy burlap mask who Rueda starts glimpsing at unexpected times around the house and grounds.

Directed by JA. Bayona, "The Orphan­age" has a lot in common with Guillermo Del Toro's celebrated "The Devil's Backbone," but I think this one is even better. Bayona's skill with sudden, deeply shocking reveals and Rueda's beautifully empathetic performance provide added layers to the well-worn plot.

"Cube" (1997): Like a particularly bril­liant and nasty episode of "The Twilight Zone," this fiendish Canadian puzzle box of a movie sets up an outlandish, irresist­ible premise and then spends 90 minutes squeezing every drop of tension out of it.

Seven strangers wake up in identical cube-shaped rooms. They're all dressed in jumpsuits stenciled with their names and have no memory of how they got there. Each of the six walls of the rooms have an identical hatch leading to an identi­cal room. Oh, and some of the rooms are equipped with very, very nasty booby traps.

As each victim tries to make sense of their predicament, we're in the same boat. You know, except that we're not in danger of being sliced to ribbons if we make the wrong choice. With decent performances from the increasingly desperate victims, "Cube" is a diabolically constructed terror device.

"May" (2002): A lonely, troubled and decidedly odd young woman (the remark­able Angela Bettis) tentatively reaches out for friendship and love, only to react to her inevitable rejection in, shall we say eccentric ways in this bloody, disturbing and oddly touching character study from director Lucky McKee.

Bettis' May, with her social awkward­ness, her isolation and her lazy eye, is the quintessential outcast, except that her perpetual silent marginalization masks a lurking insanity that eventually reveals itself in a third-act outburst (appropriately occurring on Halloween) as brutal as it is tragically poetic. A shocking and beautiful final shot.
