Halloween and all things scary - To me.

I am talking to you Halloween. I've grown up with this annual holiday; whether it's the movies the night before and the day of, or the TP pranks to the house next door. The little children ringing the doorbell asking for candy, or crazy teenagers who haven't grown out of it. Whatever it is Halloween is still fun. The night is supposed to be scary but for those of us that are faint of heart we go for cheesy. Actually I go for cheesy, cheesy scary, because if it was actually scary I'd never leave my house. Let's begin.

BeetleJuice

I saw the movie once when I was a small child, I think I was 10 when I first saw it? I don't remember. I remember watching it in the basement alone. As a child, I was always faint of heart, the slightest sounds and movements scared me. BeetleJuice scared me as a child, but it also made me laugh out loud. I didn't really understand what was going on, and I didn't even finish the movie. I was 10 and BeetleJuice was not worth my time.

Fast forward to 4 years later, I turned 14. BeetleJuice always played the night before Halloween, I decided to watch it through, the whole thing. This time I lasted but it was kind of boring. I didn't like the main girl or anything. I just watched it, and it wasn't scary. It was long.

I watched it again when i was 15 and then I finally understood. Though there isn't a HUGE meaning in the movie, it was funny, and it was a good Halloween movie. I loved Lydia's Gothic style. Although I have never become a fan of the guy with the small head.

Creep 

Addams Family

Never got the hype. The family was always creepy, and annoying. But when I found out that Christina Ricci played Wednesday Addams I fell in love with her even more! Wednesday was my favorite character and Ricci played her so well. I hated the mother, the father annoyed me, the brother was annoying. The majority of the characters bother me, but Wednesday always remained my favorite. She was so cool. She really didn't care about anything but was so witty.

Favorite.

Misery

I need to read this book. I've seen the ending by accident with my dad. It was AMAZING. I need to read the book and watch the full movie. Oh Kathy Bates, you talented scary, scary woman. You play such a wonderful lady on Harry's Law, but damn in Misery you were scary! So talented. She can morph. Misery will be my go to thriller year long. I only included this in the Halloween post because it is quite chilling.

Creepy smile. Haunting eyes. 

Creepy.

Enjoy your Halloween's, keep safe. Don't take un-wrapped candy! Dangers lurk everywhere!

She said I have talent

I was given a very special opportunity. Something very exciting happened to me on Thursday.

Have you heard of a band called Hollerado? Not familiar with them? Well I have conveniently posted some videos of their music.

What happened Thursday afternoon? Well I interviewed & met them, and it was really great! I had a lot of fun, the guys were really nice, and very down to earth, very easy to talk to. I interviewed Dean, he plays the bass. He wore a a stripped yellow shirt, skinny jeans and a white cowboy hat. He had a full beard and was insanely cool, and very nice. Then again, I have yet to meet a hyper bearded fellow, I'm sure that day will come soon.

Anyways! I had to take a picture of where the interview had taken place. It was at the top of a bar in a open dusty room, where the windows were dirty but you had a clear view of the streets below. It was a bonus room, probably used as an extra for when the facility is packed. Here is what it looked like:

Sorry about the lighting and the picture quality. I had to rush to get the photo.

Here is the order in which we sat:

It was surprisingly cozy

Afterwards, I got a picture with the whole band.

I had a really fun day, they were all so nice. I would've gone to their show, but you had to be 18! Well next time!


After the interview the editor was telling me how well I did, and this was very nice to hear. My first time interviewing a band wasn't as eventful as I had hoped. I was really happy that my second interview turned out great! Anyways, she told me I have a natural talent for journalism, talking comes easily to me. This was a huge compliment, I didn't really know how to take it. Oprah has always been an inspiration in my life, and when the editor complimented me I just had to bring Oprah up. I'm sure you can guess what the rest of the car ride was about - no it wasn't all Oprah, we talked about a lot of stuff in the media. I had a revelation that day; I still haven't decided my career path, but hopefully I will wind up happy and successful. That is something I look forward to.

As for the interview? It was 20 minutes long, I have to transcribe it all now. I hate listening to my voice back on tape, does anybody else have this problem? Well I'm just going to suck it up and finish it when I wake up (it's past 1 am.. and well this isn't helping my sleep schedule). I'll post the full interview when it goes public.

I end this post on an optimistic quote.
