Happy Halloween!!! (Again)

Just some photos of us from the boy's first Halloween last night...

PEACE.

Happy Halloween!!!

Hey everybody!
Hope your halloween is extra scary this year!
Well, I didn't make it to any haunted attractions, but it was a pretty spooky halloween week for me despite the absence of haunted houses, forests, and that sort of thing.
I ended up going to the movie on monday, and I saw "30 days of night". It was a pretty scary vampire flick, dealing with a group of bloodsuckers that decide to relocate to a small village in alaska where for a month they are covered in darknesss- day and night.
It was gory, and full of suprises, and there was a decapitation that looked so real, I ended up applauding in the theater.
I know the people in front of me were appaled, but hell- I've seen some chopped heads in films before, and none of them have made me wince and want to look away as much as that scene.
I must say, that I am a fan of vampire and zombie movies.
I love them so much because they scare me so much.
Two reasons why they scare me so are:
1. They both chase you relentlessly. My worst nightmares generally have to do with me being chased, and that's all that zombies and vamps do in movies. You can't get away from either one, because neither of them tire out.
So, if either is on your ass, then you've had it friend.

2. They freakin' EAT people!!! I mean, that's gotta be the worst way to go right? To be eaten alive would NOT be good.
I think the notion of being devoured plays on the most base of our fears, and it is certainly not lost on me.

Despite the anxiety, fear, and uneasiness that these films make me feel, I still LOVE em'.
I could watch them all day long.
And on Tuesday, I did.
I watched about four cheesy zombie movies back to back off and on broadcast on the sci-fi channel. Micah even watched them with me in between playing, and napping.
Tonight I'm going to finish out my Halloween festivities with "The Horror of Dracula", but first the lovely wife and I will be taking the boy out for tricks and treats to our neighbors houses. (photos to come tomorrow)

Rest In PEACE.

"They're Coming To Get You Barbara"...

Halloween rambling...
I was a bandito at work today, complete with a cool sombrero, and a HOT ASS poncho. But because I wanted to stay true to the game, I kept the damn thing on all day. Before work, I went to K-Mart and Target to find cowboy pistols and holsters, but it was to no avail. Gone are the days of playing "cowboys and indians" with colt .45 cap guns with plastic "ivory" handles and silvery polished finishes. We have become a society where it is not kosher to let our kids carry, conceal, and brandish toy guns. Sneaking up on unsuspecting individuals and either demanding money, or popping caps at them, seem to have fallen by the wayside.
(Sigh)

Tonite for Halloween we popped corn, drank hot apple cider, ate large amounts of miniature candy bars, and watched Dawn of the Dead. It was pretty fun to hang with the lovely wife and shovel goodies while sitting in the dark watching a SCARY movie.
I don't know, that movie- zombie movies in general scare the crap out of me. I think it's the fact that they eat people alive.
That, coupled with the fact that they never give up when chasing you. They will chase you to the end of the earth to get a taste of your flesh. That is the stuff of nightmares.

Work was crummy today. (That's about all I can say about it right now)

Although the sprout has been flipping and flopping inside the lovely wife, we haven't seen any more body parts protruding from her belly. (see Leg Bone Connected To The... post)

We didn't give out candy to the trick or treaters tonite. I feel bad.

I think I am going to dedicate a day where I write about the weirdest dream I have each week. I tend to dream every nite, and they are usually some doozies. I'm sure I will dream about Zombies chasing me tonite. It won't be the first.

Happy Halloween children of the night! (to be spoken with a spooky Bela Lugosi accent)
PEACE.

BOO!

It's Halloween time again folks!!!!
Time again for stressing out about who/what you will be for the big nite, Sugar Comas, Tricks or Treaters, and of course, HAUNTED HOUSES & FORESTS, baby!!!! This year, I will NOT be stuck at home when all sorts of SCARY stuff is going on in remote areas and fields here in Ohio! The lovely wife informed me last year that she would not be joining me, so I duped- er, convinced some co-workers to head out to some spooky ass haunted attraction, wait in line for about an hour (in the cold), and then pay 10 smackers to be scared out of our wits. (We hope) I am now in the process of researching all the haunted attractions within a 15-20 mile radius to find the best, and then I will submit my findings to my Fellow Fright Fans. Hopefully we can agree on a particularly fear inducing place to visit. Because we only have about two weekends left, we really need to get a move on. Haunted Hoochie, Terror Park, and the Haunted Hospital seem to have pretty good reps, but as I said, I'm gonna do some research. With luck, we'll all be needing a change of underwear by the end of the nite. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Rest In Peace.
