HC01 - Haloe's Curios

HC01

Congratulations on finding the first hidden item from Haloe's Curios. Enclosed is a reproduced letter that was meant to further a story line I had developed for a trio of Halloween boxes that went out to my friends last year. Each box contained a fragment of the story, and each recipient received correspondence from one of the characters in this developed story line. Anyway, this particular item was not used. The reprinted photo is that of Miss Mataja to lure in her lover Severin. Miss Mataja will lead you to much in unraveling many puzzles behind the creator of this project, as well as her ties to so many remarkable figures through history.

The final musical piece of this gift is from Guilty Strangers.Sadly, it may be the final release of this San Antonio-based band that made quite an impact on the deathrock, goth rock scene over the past 5 years. Though often compared musically and vocally to Lydia Lunch, the no-wave aspect is but one facet of Guilty Strangers. One can easily cite a dozen influences on their sound, but the blending from the decades of their idols is a creation that stands completely unique and powerful. Much of their material is available thru: Bandcamp, so check them out. They may be gone, but they shall not be lost, at least if I have anything to do with it.
