  Once upon a midnight dreary, this reminded me of Filth by Irvine Welsh.

  With flash disabled all the text gets cut (in Fx3.0.3 that is). Fired WebKit to see it with flash and rocks!

  Now I’m wondering whether it’s just Firefox that cuts the lines when there is no flash or other browsers aswell?

  Nice work!

  It’s great to see someone trying to evolve an online publication like yours with a new theme almost every post.

  After being a print designer and trying to migrate to the Web, it’s refreshing to know that individual designs can still be done for individual articles.

  Keep up the good work.

  @ Martijn : I wrestled with sIFR for a while yesterday and finally just had to stop and accept how far I was able to get. I know that this post will anger people who have trouble viewing sIFR content (like some Linux folks) or some random browser builds. Sorry gang!

  Woohoo! I was worried we would not see a Halloween theme this year but here it is in all its glory. Great use of sIFR too!

  The comment skulls are a nice touch.

  Jason, this is absolutely gorgeous!

  It looks nice. I like your treatment of the image. sIFR always works better then I think it should. Maybe some day we’ll have a internet font repository and browsers will just borrow fonts on the fly. I’m probably still dreaming. Keep up the interesting work.

  Nice! Love the sIFR. Thank you for help fighting typographical communism on the web. You live in the real America.

  Another amazing design! The skulls are a perfect touch and a great idea too! Love your work.

  Dude. Awesome!

  Really love how the eeriness of the poem is captured in the post (even the small details like the skulls next to the commenters names).

  Just perfect!

  This really sets the mood for the coming weekend. I love it! This post also reminds me of your Layer Tennis match for some reason, but maybe I’m mistaken.

  Cheers!

  Fantastic presentation of awesome Poe’s poem. The mood of this article is so deep. Love the Franklin Caslon’s noise.
  Thanks Jason for reinventing the online “blogging culture”.

  Very sexy.

  My favorite part is the little skull icons for the comments.

  I’m loving the Halloween LOVE! I was beginning to wonder if it was ever gonna make an appearance this year as well.

  Halloween is becoming just as exciting as it was when I was a kid, now that I have a kid and once again have an excuse to hit the streets again.

  I like the background image and the skulls – very nice touch. Too bad sIFR blows.

  …the little skull is definitely an added bonus. ;)

  I played with sIFR for a while and ended up giving up! But maybe I should look into it once again. I’m tired of the same fonts! (I know… who isn’t) :(
