Who is this Sam Hain anyway?

I have no idea who started it but the annual mentions of "Samhain lord of the dead" are appearing in the usual places. But according to Witchvox one lot have recanted and removed their erroneous article.

The article can still be seen on the Google cache at http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:i2Pjz3gHY5sJ:chi.gospelcom.net/GLIMPSEF/Glimpses/glmps094.shtml+%22The+Hijacking+Of+Hallow%27s+Eve+%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1&lr=lang_en


Just goes to show that some people will listen when we try to correct the propaganda put about by some people who claim to speak the truth. I suppose they're not all bad.

I just wonder where this Sam Hain stuff came from in the first place.

Halloween

The first reference I recall slandering poor old November as "Lord of the Dead" (Arawn and Teutates are now out on the dole, I suppose?) is the late 70's - early 80's slasher film "Halloween."
There is also some kooky fundamentalist crap put out by Jack Chick and Bill Schnoebblen (the so-called "christopher sinn".)
