10/17/2004: Freddy Krueger Costume / Jason DVDs.

Weekend warriors notwithstanding, those of you who haven’t been here in a few days NEED to make sure you’ve checked some of the other articles I posted criminally late. Everything from pet costumes to Bo Knows to me wearing devil eyes and beyond. Today’s entry on the Halloween Countdown kicks off a three-day series focused on slasher costumes 4 kidz, yo. First up, Freddy Krueger. I’m still listening to that album at every given opportunity, by the way.

Okay, so I don’t know what some of them there people were talking about — I LOVE the Friday the 13th DVD set. Really. It’s not presented as on grand a scale as the Freddy set, but I think I can explain that one easily — the people involved with Elm Street movies are generally higher up on the pole than the Jason crew. That said, most of the people involved with the F13 series show up here in extras or during commentaries, and that includes Mama Voorhees, whose contribution more or less consisted of “I hated being in this movie it was below me but man what a great thing it all was!” I love her anyway. I didn’t get a chance to watch everything yet, but I’m pretty pleased. Like I said in an earlier post, I already own most of the movies on DVD. Commentaries, extras and a cool looking box was all that could satisfy me, and they won on all three counts. It’s not as good as it could be, but few things are. Totally recommended.

Here’s your obvious survey question: What are y’all doing for Halloween, anyways?

Me? For Halloween? Well…

I was thinking of dressing all in black and walking around my neighborhood with a satchel full of wooden stakes and actually putting a stake through the heart of every kid that dressed like a vampire. I’ve researched the local laws and I could totally get away with it.

And during my research I ran accross some strange legislation allowing the practice of public defecation, so if my first plan goes to pieces I’ll have something to do.

Yeah, I’m just going to stay home and hand out candy, probably. My life kind of sucks.

KidneyBoy, have you tried to paint a basketball? Or some largish, but thick-rinded, playground ball of some sort? Might not work for your intended use, but might yield some spectacular and useful failures.

Oooh, that’s a good idea for Kidneyboy, kingklash. What about one of those $3 shiny rubber balls that live in the big cages at discount stores?

JG, I’m in love with the Catwoman idea. Or specifically, I think it’d be cool to see a bunch of people dressed as his film nemeses–the Joker, the Penguin, Catwoman, Two-Face, the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and Poison Ivy.

You know I’m a vegan, so I call Poison Ivy.

I should have mentioned that it’s the Catwoman from the Halle Berry movie. Are you scared now?

I’m leaving Tulsa, OK and going to visit a friend in San Francisco. Going to Halloween on the Castro. Never been to CA before, should be fun.
No costume yet, though. . .

Woo-Hah! The Bay Area is a excellent place to Trick or Treat! Seems like everyone and everything dresses up for Hallowe’en! After all, it is the only place around where you can see a bumper sticker that says, "Honk if you ARE Jesus!" My early childhood was spent out there. (mostly Oakland) Give my regards to Lombard Street, remember me at Jack London Square. Been years since I got to see my fellow Native American flip off the Columbus statue.

For Halloween, my friends and I are going to the HUGE bash on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill (NC)- So much fun! I’m dressing as a Victorian chambermaid whose throat was slit by Jack the Ripper. Sexy and scary :)

So far, nothing. Makes me miss the days when my family would go crazy with the house for the holiday. My brother and I would get the day off from school, and we would help my dad and uncle decorate the yard and house with some really good stuff – pro-quality stuff. We’d set it up and dismantle it, so less people would see it and try to steal ideas. Then all of our friends would come over and help out. When we wanted to make people wet their pants, we would! Every year there was always someone that would use a chainsaw, and they would have to chase people down our street and the neighboring streets. It was our second Christmas.

Costume party at a ber on the 30th, working in costume on the 31st. Made myself a jedi costume and lightsaber this year. I might get the blaster done in tome for halloween too, otherwise I’ll be sans blaster.

Man, should have checked that one for spelling first. Sorry

This is a bit late, but I’ve been busy.

For Halloween, I’m hoping to give a reading of E.A. Poe’s "The Raven" at one of my fraternities’ Rush Events.

Then, we’ll watch a movie…Probably Young Frankenstein…

Someone has to change those drapes. The flower print is horrible.

Ghosted by Dik Fishman @ 10/20/2004 12:38 PM EDT

godfucking dammit.
I knew I should have bought The Gate on DVD when I saw it for five bucks.

Now you’ve just reminded me. Ass.

Oh well. I have Zombi-s and House-s and In the Mouth of Madness-es at least.

I will be throwing a big halloween bash at my place. Then stumble out to Hollywood Blvd for the yearly parade (as Jason) and get silly stringed to death by all the little shreks.

Party tonight, (someone else’s) going as a possessed goth chick.

Currently, sitting here at work eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Halloween contact lenses – Totally black, full eye covering, no-white-to-be-seen style, perscription contacts. They will most likely be uncomfortable/slightly painful but so full of creepy goodness as to make it all worth while! My own party will feature the same costume get-up but is next Saturday – still gotta finish decorating the house… So much to do – and I’m at work! :(

Halloween roadtrip!!!! I’m gonna dress as Billie Joe from the American Idiot video. Surprise!

This is an amazingly simple costume btw:

Black shirt
Red tie
Black Hair dye
mascara

plus I’ve made a heart-grenade stencil for my forearm.

Don’t use sharpies on your skin kids! I’ve been stupid enough to do it before, so I will risk it again. Don’t try this step at home unless you want to spend the next week scraping a layer of your skin off =)

Oh and I’d recommend a strat/strat knock-off, or even better a Les Paul for 100% accuracy. Too bad I’ve only got a Pbass =(

Pretty simple stuff for me on Halloween. First and main event will be the good old movie Evil Dead on DVD, which I bought primarily for this occasion. Then from there, I’ll either check the TV for possible horror movies on it or play a game like Eternal Darkness (my Silent Hill 3 was stolen last year, and I currently only have The Ring on DVD as a horror movie…and obviously, that one isn’t really all that good of a match for Halloween).
