Halloween is on the way. What are you going to be?
I’ve never really gotten into the whole Halloween schtick. I think it’s because I was traumatized when my mom dressed my sister and me as Smurfs one year in elementary school. They were great homemade costumes (Mom used to work with costumes and make-up in the theater.) complete with blue face paint, tails, and the whole floppy outfit. My main Halloween years were the ones when everyone was scared to death of getting razor blades and PCP in their apples, so trick-or-treating wasn’t ever exciting since we could never eat any of the goodies we got. I remember one year I was Indiana Jones, and last year I was an evil devil wandering around Hollywood. Otherwise I don’t have any Halloween memories. How about you?

I have pretty fond memories of Halloween, even though I never got to wear the *really cool* costumes. We had to make all of ours – “whomp them up”, as it were – so I have a lot of memories of people asking me hesitantly, “…so you’re a bunny…how cute”. “No, lady, I’m Charlie Chaplin. Now fork over the Bit O’ Honeys and I’ll be on my way”. Out of that was born a devilish pleasure in making people guess what I was supposed to be, culminating in the year that I was in some plays and thus, had access to the make-up department. I had the coolest yellow outfit with matching body paint on any exposed skin – even yellow contacts. I was a speed bump.Now, I’m more content to lock myself in the house and watch really scary movies. Last year was The Omen and John Carpenter’s The Thing… This year is still in the works – I’m open to suggestions!!
I’ve always wanted to be a Spaceball, but could never make the helmet. Two years ago, I was Mork (in red spacesuit) which was a big hit, except when I was mistaken for the Red Telletubby. Shut up! This year I’m gonna be Warren from Something About Mary.
