Halloween Blues

    I have the Halloween blues, this is my favorite time of the year and I have to study all week for a Calculus exam and a Spanish exam and i have no time to do all the things I love doing. I suppose that I am bummed because I have no time for a costume.  I work on Friday with a bunch of really creative people and everyone will look great. I am going as the panicky college student but I wanted to go as the Wasp Woman...

 It is a compelling story of science and self esteem gone wrong...I really feel a connection to this movie, and the mask made me crack up...But have no fear...the pumpkin and the horror movie orgy is still on.    

     

    I will also get to see my awesomely cute niece, Iris, in her costume. Talk about scary, she had the Heimlich maneuver performed on her at her daycare...she stuffed 3 plastic eyeballs in her mouth and choked...so truly frightening.

    

 

This is an old Halloween pic of her, there is nothing funnier than a kid crying in a Lobster suit. I carry this one in my wallet. 

I know this sounds dorky, but my expectations of Halloween never live up to reality...not since I was a kid, dressing up and going out into the chilly nite and begging strangers for candy, then came all the trading and hoarding of the candy. But I am not in it for the candy, I am in it for the thrills. I have always been a spooky person and I always will be...so there Derivatives of Logarithms and their Exponential Inverses....yeah...you can't take Halloween away from me! I think I will be watching Mad Monster Party, my good friend Shane gave me a copy.

It is the Citizen Kane of stop motion animation (if that is the name)...all I can say is go out right now, smoke about 3 spleefs and hold on for the ride of your life! Not quite as good as sex, but if you can manage to have sex while watching this, then please do, you won't regret it!

And of course I will watch Halloween...one of my faves. OOOhh it is midnite now...the witching hour and i am going to watch the 1920's Mexican version of Dracula...shot on the same lot and the                                                       classic...they shot the English version in the day, and the Mexican                                                       version at night.

                                                      

                                                      

   Okay, the Mexican Universal version of Dracula was awesome, I absolutely loved the set designs and the cinematography, sometime the most beautiful scenes are from creepy movies, it reminded me of the Val Lewton/ Jaques Tourneur classic, I Walked with a Zombie, so haunting and beautiful. I wished that I would have been able to get better scenes, but this one is cool.
