  2. Over on the Random Thread, Luna the Lovely asked us to recommend horror movies with which to scare herself senseless tonight.

    Luna, do you mean movies that are playing in theaters, movies that are being shown on TV, or movies that you can rent somewhere?

      Eh…I’m not really a fan of horror movies (Fine: not at all.) but my friend told me that Air Force 1 (Is that the name of it? It was a while ago.) was really scary. Just a thought.

      Movies that I can “rent” somewhere. Aka track down online (bad Luna, bad), as I don’t have a TV or transportation to a theatre…..

        Well, it’s not that scary, but I rather enjoyed it. Let the Right One In is about a bullied boy (whipped and such) who meets a girl who lives in a nearby apartment. She happens to be a vampire… Don’t worry, it’s not cliché.
        One problem, it’s in Swedish. And I should warn you that it’s a book, in case you’re one of the people who has to read the book before he/she sees the movie. That’s what I did…

        So….browsing online for “top horror movies”, I hit upon this list of “top 50”, and #50 is accompanied by a picture of spiders crawling out of a sink…. *shudder* That picture alone could give me nightmares–I HATE spiders. *shuddershuddershuddershuddershudder*

        Arachnophobia, it was called. Despite the fact that that move would, indeed, probably scare me senseless…..I’m not sure I could handle it. I can feel spiders crawling all over me just from a still photo from the movie. *shuddersomemore*

    Happy Halloween! I’ve just realized that once more I forgot/was too lazy to actually think up a costume other than what would be readily available to me.
    So, I’ll probably be a pirate. I must say though, my pirate outfit is pretty great as they go, simply because I have more 18th century clothes available to me than most, and I’m about the same size as my Dad (sad, I know) so I can “borrow” (aka pilfer) some of his stuff, like his coat and hat, and put that over my petticoats, stays and shift. Then I wrap a red sash around my waist, tuck in a pistol (cap gun, don’t worry), wind my head up in a scarf of some sort, and add a few pieces of jewelry or something and I’m ready to go storm whatever I choose.
    Only problem is that I’ve been a pirate often. *sigh* Maybe next year I’ll think of something more creative, ha!

      I was a witch four years in a row. It was always a last minute desperate scramble to find something, but the finishing look always worked despite the fact that it was so repetitive… This year at school yesterday I was a cowgirl for something different. An easy and fun look.

    Happy Halloween, everyone!
    Due to the unfortunate amount of metal in my mouth, I can’t eat very much candy this year. Meh. Then again, it’s a chance to request only candies of the chocolate variety. I might be able to make this work to my advantage, I can’t stand gooey, sticky, sugary glop anyway. Only the best for me!

    Happy Halloween to all! My plans for Halloween festivity include marching around in a uniform while playing a saxophone. Yes, we have a marching band competition on Halloween. I’m not too fussed about it: we’re going to have a candy party on the bus, and my band friends are awesome. There was a football game for which we played last night, and all the members of the band had to go in costume. Since our show this year was Fiddler On The Roof, I dressed up as one of the characters from the musical. Other costumes included the band director, a panda, Secret Asian Man, a highway, a man riding and ostrich, and a hobo. The snares all dressed up as cows.

  8. Luna the Lovely says:

    Halloween activities…..Well, none, really. I volunteered at a therapeutic riding center this morning (it’s a weekly thing, have to for my psych class), and we were supposed to come in costume, ‘though I ended up being one of about 2-3 people who were in an actual costume, most didn’t even have ears or anything.

    Anyway, it was a Little Bo Peep costume my mother sent me, but…..let’s just say I was freezing, as it’s not exactly a warm costume. So, I ended up wearing a windbreaker over it, which ruined the look a bit, but oh well.

    The rest of today? Uhm, maybe open up my candy corn at some point. Also, maybe get some progress made on that psych paper I’ve been, um, not working on. And tonight watch a horror movie (and then not sleep at all, because I’m having nightmares all night long……).

    I don’t even dress up anymore. I dress up every day, so it’s just so disappointing and anticlimactic when I dress up for Halloween and don’t feel any different. I suppose if I still went trick-or-treating it would be more exciting, but last year I just dressed up for school and that was sad. So I just wear a black dress and am content.

    I have to work tonight, but after work I am going to go home and change into my Halloween dress (it’s black silk, from the thirties or fifties, with like a thousand snaps) and go walking up to the graveyard with Haley and Kerri and Will and Brenda (if she’s not sick) and then we’ll come back and eat cake and candy and drink cider and bob for apples. And it might be a sleepover but I don’t know if everyone’s going to sleep over.

    Hm. Question. Should I dress up for work? Not in my Halloween dress, naturally, but just in something quick? ‘Cause I never dress up for work, and it might impart more of a festive feel to the whole experience and make working on Halloween more bearable.

    I have returned from bunnifying the neighborhood. :idea: I didn’t have to stay out as long as last year, partly because I didn’t have my brother with me, and I got more candy per house this year.
    Yesterday I went to a “haunted” house. My dad and I made a bet on whether I’d scream. I won. :D

    • Luna the Lovely says:

      I take that to mean you didn’t scream? Haunted Houses scare me senseless. And the last time I went to one (last year), let’s just say, um, apparently scaring me senseless doesn’t do much for the quality of my language, and I spent most of the haunted house clinging to the person in front of me (there was a group of people from my floor–hardly knew the guy…..and then later it was girl, she literally pried my hands of her jacket at one point) and repeating variations of a a particular epithet over and over and over and over and over. whoops.

  15. Luna the Lovely says:

    Luna is incredibly grateful that in her entire college career living in the same res-hall, she has only seen one spider in the building. One. Unfortunately, that is not stopping Luna from having the sensation that spiders are crawling all over her…..Luna is probably going to have nightmares, seeing as she chose to watch Arachnophobia. Luna was already mildly arachnophobic.

    Luna also chose to watch Pet Sematary, but she did not find that scary, perhaps because she read the book, and, well, the books is much better. The things it does to you psychologically, especially if you have experienced the loss of a pet…..As Jud said in the movie: “Sometimes dead is better.” I remember thinking similarly when I read the book a couple years ago, that as much as I would like to have my dog back, I wouldn’t want her back like that. But to give the movie credit, it is the first movie/tv show/etc that actually triggered my gag reflex with its depictions of violence. I’m thinking it must be something about a 2 year old kid being the one who was doing the stuff, that my mind just can’t handle that, but can “deal” with it if it is two adults. Not saying I like violent/gory scenes in movie with adults, but they don’t make me gag…..

    Anyway, I really ought to go to bed, because despite gaining an hour of sleep tonight with the whole setting the clocks back, I have to (ok, don’t have to) get up at 7 tomorrow, as there is a radio broadcast I wish to listen to…..

    I dressed up as Edward Cullen. I wore my brother’s gigantic (he’s over 6 feet) jeans, lowr riding of course, his red striped polo shirt, with a popped collar, one blingy earing, a backwards baseball cap, a chain ’round ma neck and sunglasses. I looked like an eightyear old boy, when I looked in the mirror. I had a good laugh. Then I put on my makeup. I sprayed myself down with this hair&body sparkle stuff. It still isn’t coming off :roll: . Then I put on lipstick, black eye shadow and dark eyeliner (think Frank N. Furter) and the finnishing touch was the fake eyelashes. They’re hilariously long with sparkles and stuff. It worked pretty well.

    I was at a friend’s house, and we paraded the neighbour hood. There was no one out. Maybe fifteen kid’s stopped by my friend’s house. We went by another friend’s house to show off our costumes (my two other friends were a doll and a human experiment from Fringe), but he had gone off to a party and we had a really awkward conversation with his parents.

    We watched The Halloween Tree (written and narated by Ray Bradburry), Troll Two wich has reall “quality” acting and “excellent” special effects but still managed to scare the hell out of me. We were supposed to watch Scream but someone (me) stupidly brought the wrong rental movie. I was so mad. Scream is so excellent. It’s my favorite horror movie. We watched Small Soldiers instead. It’s a pretty good movie. It has Kristen Dunst in it when she was a kid.

    I went to Hannah’s building to trick-or-treat. She was an undead sorceress (Beautiful feathered Mardi Gras mask, purple cloak, skeleton gloves), and her friend Anna was a punk rock fairy. We went to all the decorated doors and got lots of candy, then we went to Anna’s room and watched Ghost Rider and ate pizza.

    Kai- What were you?
    I came down with the flu on Halloween, so I decided on the very lies hour to go as the H1N1 virus, which basically was me dressing up with a pig snout, piggy ears, and a shirt that said “H1N1” and “Swine Flu” on it, and had a drawing of a pig on it. Apparently I was the scariest costume there, and some people wanted me off of there porches. :lol:

  22. Midnight Fiddler says:

    As it’s the day after Halloween, I thought of a pretty awesome (if I do say so myself) costume idea. Or set of ideas, really.

    Variant 1.) A little kid’s drawing/stick figure. Wear a black, long-sleeved shirt, black leggings, and layer brighter colored baggy clothes over, like how little kids draw people. Perhaps drawing black lines on the outer clothing, like someone had drawn the stick figure first, and then the clothes on later, with the “body” still showing (since it was in a darker color). Frizz up my hair and maybe do some costume makeup as well.

    Variant 2.) A sketch. Wear white/beige clothing underneath, perhaps doing a bit of shading to get the impression of a drawing. Add some white/beige cloth in a swirling garment sort of idea, like a figure study. Or as an alternative, make the cloth colored and add some jewelry, fancy hairstyle, and make it a character from a painting or some sort.
    This could also be a marble statue, if you kept it all shades of white and grey.

    Or perhaps go as a character that appears in paintings, like Peace, Prosperity, War, Freedom, etc. You know, the female that’s wearing sort of fantasy clothing based on men’s clothes but feminized and holding all manner of props or symbols which identify who she is and what she’s doing on the canvas with all these other things going on. Yeah, that one. I probably lost everyone now. Oh well.

    I like these ideas. The only problem is that I’m afraid no one would understand what they were supposed to be without an explanation. Humph.
    Oh well, I have a year to think about it. :lol:

    My dad told me that a girl came to our door dressed as the Andy Warhol painting of the Beatles (you know, the one with all those psychedelic colors) and she had cut a hole (it was a big square piece of cardboard) where John’s face was supposed to be and stuck her head into it.

    21– Somebody’s house I went to had a pumpkin with “H1N1” carved into it. (scariest one all night!) When I complimented the teenager who answered the door on it, he said, “Thanks, Ringo. It really means a lot to me, coming from you.” He was the first person to recognize me as Ringo yesterday.

    I won my school’s costume contest at the Friday night dance. I dressed up as one of the [male] students – this pianist who always sits outside smoking and wearing a fedora. I borrowed some dress shoes and a shirt from a boy in the dorm, a black bag from someone else, and wore my dress pants, glasses, and fedora, and bought a pack of cigarettes (which I didn’t smoke, thank you very much. That stuff’s nasty). Everyone recognized it and thought it was hilarious. Then Saturday I went to a party dressed as Delirium.

      We had several people do that this year. Actually, one person wore a plain white t-shirt and jeans and came to school as a “regular school kid.” Looked more like an excuse to wear jeans all day (Our dress code doesn’t allow it.) than anything else, but still, funny.
