So last night was Spooktacular.... and it was AWESOME...
We headed down to the site at noon, after I had blow dried my hair so I looked like Mufasa...but I wasn't the only one, I was sharing the car with two Zombies. One was a zombie child who looked totally disheveled, and another Zombie with a stiff neck. :)
After we got down to the park at about a quarter till 1 we hung curtain after curtain of those black metalic strings. And of course I was just a tad short of being able to reach on flat feet, so I was on my tiptoes for a while. It was a lot of fun though with music blasting and a type of assembly line going...
Then we waited. And ran around. And ate brownies and gum. And danced. And sat in the grass and just talked.
Soon it was time to put on makeup... and lots of it. LOTS of makeup! Everyone who did the makeup was fantastic...and patient. I can't even tell you how many times I had to have the glitter on my lips redone. The Timewarp cast was SPARKLY! :) We looked crazy...almost like the makeup kit expoded on our faces. My own parents didn'e even recognize me. The Thriller cast was downright scary. Fake blood, head wounds, decaying flesh, stitched up faces and mouths, the works.
At 6 we started running the shows again and again... The lines to see the shows were huge! Everyone was impressed with what they saw, whether it was MIB, Thriller, or Timewarp. We got great feedback! Thriller made people jump and run, and MIB and Timewarp dance. By the end of the night we were all tired but I was still ready for more... Let's do the TimeWarp AGAIN! :D When we drove home people saw the Zombie driving and had very odd reactions of horror and laughter. I laughed. I laughed a lot, also because I was so tired I just needed to go to sleep. At one point I just sat on the grass and played with a streamer.
So Halloween was awesome. Nuff said.
