: Look into my meme-o-lantern
I still have a little time before I need to get ready for the Samhain ritual tonight, so I found a Halloween meme to do while the paint on my costume dries. Yes, after last night, I decided that I'd rather attend a ritual in a costume that surrounded me with positive energy, rather than my cursed Ryuk. So, to honor the individuals who introduced me to this spiritual side, even if it was originally through role play, I will don my Priest Mahaado costume, an go as an ancient Egyptian sorcerer.
The Halloween Meme:
1. Which urban legend ghost scared the bejeesuz out of you when you were a kid?
I don't remember ever being scared by an urban legend. There were a few real ghosts, though, over the years, that frightened me. And one very familiar poltergeist (corroborated by several eyewitnesses) during my freshman year of college.
2. Which horror movie has the best premise?
As embarrassing as this is, I'm going to say 'Queen of the Damned' because there's absolutely nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure flick involving very sexy vampire rock stars chained to the bed. Absolutely nothing wrong with it at all.
3. What is the most disappointing “treat” to receive in your bag on Halloween night?
Hands down, it was the ridiculous bible tracts that good "Christians" gave out instead of candy. Or worse, the kind that was rubber banded to the candy. I infiltrated a church Halloween party one year (Dark Jedi look a lot like Mary Magdalene if you squint) and I didn't find nearly as many bible tracts as I got in normal trick or treating.
4. What’s the best non-candy item to receive?
I was always a fan of spider rings and stickers. I especially liked them since a good 9/10 of my Halloween candy either went to decorating graham cracker houses for the birds at Christmas or bribing my teachers for bonus points.
5. Did a monster live in your closet when you were a child?
Nope.
6. Which supernatural creature sent chills up your spine when you were ten and still does?
Oddly enough, it's the creatures that actually exist that sent chills up my spine. Most notably the evil and wicked creature called 'Man.' And unfortunately, many examples of those still do.
7. Which supernatural creature makes you yawn?
Mummies, warewolves, zombies... blah.
8. What’s your favorite Halloween decoration?
When it comes to decorating for Halloween parties, I like hanging webbing. Otherwise, it's probably an artfully carved pumpkin.
9. If you could be anywhere on Halloween night, where would you be?
It doesn't matter, as long as I'm in costume and having fun.
10. What’s the scariest book you’ve read so far this year?
Well, it wasn't exactly a book... it was... around tax time... when I opened the letter about the current state of my 401(k). Trust me, it was scary.
11. Haunted houses or haunted hayrides?
Haunted hayrides. I've been to enough haunted houses to know that if I actually want to get scared, spooked, or even remotely surprised, I either need to be intoxicated or at least highly distracted. Here's to hoping itchy hay is enough of a distraction that I experience what everyone else apparently does.
12. Which Stephen King novel/movie would you least like to find yourself trapped in?
The dark half. Except, I think, given that poltergeist experience I mentioned earlier, I kind of was... It was the same premise, except it was a character instead of an author.
13. Which is creepiest: evil dolls, evil pets, evil children?
The creepiest thing that I can think of isn't any of those. It's a lady with rollers in her hair. Really. That spooks me. That honestly spooks me. I don't know if I was murdered in a beauty shop in a past life, but those people with their hair up and facial masks on... I can hardly look at them. Open heart surgery by mad scientists, okay. Live abortion video in hell houses, fine by me. Twisted clowns with dental instruments, not a problem. Housewife with rollers - creepy.
