Tin Foil

What most Americans call tin foil today is actually aluminum foil.

Tin foil was once a real household product, but what most Americans call tin foil today is actually aluminum foil. The two materials look similar, serve many of the same purposes, and can both be formed into thin, flexible sheets of metal. However, genuine tin foil gradually disappeared from kitchens because aluminum foil was less expensive to manufacture,

“Open My Eyes” / “Hello It’s Me” – Doyle’s Space: Music Hall of Fame – SOS Award

Patrick Stewart, Anthony Stewart Head, Donnie Iris, and June Jones Die

Covers – Season of the Witch

A dark, hypnotic psychedelic-rock piece built around an insistent electric-guitar riff, bass, drums, keyboards and his understated vocal.

“Season of the Witch” was written by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan and recorded in 1966 for his third studio album, Sunshine Superman. It marked a major change from the gentle acoustic

“Monster Mash” / “Monsters’ Mash Party” – Doyle’s Space: Music Hall of Fame – SOS Award

This “Stand Out Single” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in October 1962, just in time for Halloween.

“Monster Mash” / “Monsters’ Mash Party” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers is one of the most famous novelty singles of the 1960s and arguably the most enduring Halloween record ever made. “Monster Mash” was written by Bobby Pickett and Leonard Capizzi, with Gary S. Paxton producing, and was released on Paxton’s Garpax label in 1962.

Walter Koenig, Susan Saint James, Michael Gray, and Tom Skerritt Die

Four more losses to reflect on here in late October of 2026…

These guys were an actor and screenwriter who famously played Chekov in Star Trek; an actress who played in The Name of the Game, McMillan and Wife, and Kate and Allie; an actor who played Billy Batson in Shazam!; and an actor and director who was in M*A*S*H, Alien, The Dead Zone; Top Gun, Picket Fences and many more.
