It's that time of the year when things get spooky and what's spookier than Sauron?
Fans of Lord of the Rings are trying to get the city of San Francisco to light up the Salesforce Tower to look like the beacon of evil on the night of the 31st. A group of fans calling themselves 'The Fellowship,' started a petition on Change.org with a goal of gaining 10,000 signatures.

The petition begins with, "We believe in the power of the internet as a gathering place for people to share ideas and affect real world change. Our goal is to create a breath of creatively fresh air amid an otherwise barren political landscape."
Funnily enough, the petition does not even mention the incredible work of J.R.R Tolkien, instead, it attempts to appeal to the building owner's sense of respect of the arts.
"We invite the organisation who has redefined the San Francisco skyline and, in the process, contributed to small and large business worldwide, to stand not only as a beacon for capitalist pursuit but to tip their hat to the people, culture, and community of this great city. A city built on creativity, exploration, and burning self-expression," the petition continued.

The petitions goes on to say, "We invite the organisation to fly a flag for all who dare to dream, uniting the districts, strengthening the ties, and fortifying the bridges by lighting an LED fire atop this sanctuary city. In the process embracing a fun, artistic, and timely show of creativity that the whole city can enjoy - for one night only."
