Halloween weekend is upon us!! Let the crazy costumes come out, the candy eaten, and the booze consumed! This is definitely one of my favorite holidays of the year… 3rd to Christmas and Thanksgiving. I think a lot of this has to do with how into the holidays my family gets. We didn’t just carve pumpkins and put them out on the stoop for decoration. We had life size coffins with skeletons sticking out of them, fog machines, skulls scattered through the yard, motion censored hands sticking out of the ground, and of course, scary Halloween tunes. My dad still gets the biggest kick out of the trick-or-treaters coming by for candy and getting scared from the fake hands and scary music.
We go over the top when it comes to holidays so there’s always a lot of anticipation that builds up for them. This year, like last year, my friends and I are heading up to Michigan to go to our friends parent’s annual Halloween party. It’s the real deal. The house is decorated like a haunted house, the host & hostess dress up like haunted mansion characters from the Disney ride, and everyone comes decked out in their finest costumes. And honestly, who wouldn’t when there’s a costume contest to win?! Last year we did a group costume… Tiger Woods, his ex-wife, and his whores. I was one of the whores (yippee). Naturally, we won best group costume!
This year we’re not doing any group costume… every (wo)man or couple for themselves. I think I’ve got this one in the bag. I’m shooting for another win this year and for as much work as I’ve put into this costume, I fucking deserve it. Seriously, what the hell was I thinking going for a DIY costume. I’ve made it pretty clear that I’m no Martha Stewart, yet I decided I would be overambitious and make my costume. Never again. Let’s just hope this pays off and I get to taste sweet, sweet victory again! I’ll post pictures next week!
Enjoy your Halloween weekend and watch out for razorblades in your candy! There’s weirdos out there that actually do that. #Ijustdontgetit
take it or leave it: I am not a fan of scary movies… not even a little bit. I’ve been forced to watch 5.5 scary movies in my life and I was completely miserable during them. Well, except for one. Saw, The Ring, Halloween 1 and 2, and Paranormal Activity. I’ve also seen Carrie, but laughed my way through the ridiculousness of that one. Hearing everyone chant “They’re all going to laugh at you” is much funnier than it is scary. The .5 would be for Paranormal Activity. I could not do it. I tried to take a light-hearted approach and repeatedly tell myself that this was fake, but the movie won and I had to be done with it. Needless to say I will not be seeing the other 2 Paranormal Activity movies… fake or not, that shit is SCARY!
