Halloween Toolkit For Adults!

Halloween is around the corner, and the hope for a peaceful evening will go down the toilet soon as nightfall hits. Leaving all the lights off and pretending you are not home will not stop the cute little goblins at your front door from demanding candy.  Turning into the neighborhood Scrooge will only get your house egged. There is the option of going Leatherface and wielding a chainsaw. Sure, it might be fun, and sure you might get labeled as the neighborhood psychopath, but if you had friends you probably wouldn't be home alone getting your kicks from scaring trick-or-treaters or hiding in your closet trying to avoid them. So, you might as well hope for the best and have some fun. 

COSTUME. Yeah, you’ll need one. A lot of people who hate Halloween will tell you costumes are lame and dressing up sucks. All haters are the same and only want to rain on your parade. Find a witch and get your energy cleansed from all that negativity, and let the good times roll. 

DORTHY. We only want this costume for the ruby red slippers. Whatever you do don't forget the braids. If you have short hair no problem. That's what wigs are for.

THE JOKER. If this guy can get a girlfriend so can you.

CANDY is delicious. If all else fails, just stay home. Binging on candy does not make you a sad loser. It's a power move. 

STUFF TO DO. Yes, it's true there are things to do for Halloween in Los Angeles.

FRIGHT DIVE. This one is worth the drive to Long Beach.

HAUNTED HAYRIDE. Just wear a diaper in case you pee your pants from fright.

WEST HOLLYWOOD PARADE.  Just go for broke. You can really use this experience to get over your fear of crowds.

NIGHTS OF THE JACK. If the haunted hayride is too much for you and you really need to see some glowing pumpkins this one is a great option.

UNDERWOOD FAMILY FARM. The mega of all pumpkin patches.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

SCARY MOVIES: HALLOWEEN PREP LIST FOR GRUESOME FUN!

One of the things you must deal with on Halloween is making a choice between walking the streets with your leftover burning man costume or celebrating with a horror flick. If you're a rookie and just moved to the big city from a place like Idaho do not attempt either. Just treat it like New Year's Eve! Keep telling yourself you’re not a loser while you stay home watching bad comedy and pounding the sweets, sure you might have a massive sugar high, but eventually you will drift into a blissful sleep and all Hallows’ Eve will pass you by without the hair on your arms standing straight from fright. If you’re from a city with a lot of corn fields you should be used to horror. Corn is scary. For example, Children of the Corn didn't come out of thin air. Find that house party, if you’re lucky you can find yourself in your own horror movie especially if the party is in a remote location with people playing seven minutes in heaven.

If you're a Halloween veteran and live in Los Angeles don't set yourself up for a let-down. You are not in New York, and the city will not turn into a freaks gone wild like it does in the subways around midnight. Manage expectations. We have all been victims to our hopes getting botched. Find the sweet spot of having the shit scared out of you by flipping on a horror flick. If you're already depressed, try ludicrous horror. One thing I know is that laughter is better than any meds. Okay maybe not, but an adrenaline rush can be a nice evening starter. 

MaXXXine

1980's hollywood, adult film star, stalker killer--I'm in!

Totally Killer

Sally Draper aka Kiernan Shipka is all grown up and delivers on this Back To The Future halloween horror/slasher. 

Hellraiser

This one is scarier than a hairy bald guy with a goatee that has been out of style since the 1990's. 

Run Sweetheart Run

Meeting a cute guy who ends up being psycho. We've all been there. 

Bodies Bodies Bodies

Being trapped in a remote mansion during a hurricane what could go wrong? 

BONUS ROUND

Thanksgiving

Might as well start thinking about the holidays. One thing to keep in mind is that the rules of horror don't apply to Massachusetts! Nothing is off the table! A manic can strike even on Gobble Day!

NEW FALL TRENDS - WHERE TO FIND ON AMAZON

 

It might still feel like you're entering a dry sauna whenever one ventures outside, but fashion a fast moving locomotive. Here is what we know so far.

Berry/Cherry/Deep Wine colors are huge. If you don't want to go toe to toe color accents are a conduit for incorporating color and hitting the mark. Pantyhose, bags, chokers and our personal favorite knee high boots. (Amazon Affiliate Partner)
