Whatcha doing for Hallowe'en?

[Zulegoona]

For fake blood I always liked the corn starch thickened food coloring water mixture; water, red, blue and a little yellow, heat in pan add corn starch slurry a little at a time till the desired thickness is reached. this will also stain but if allowed to dry has a really good dried blood look.


I've put some salvaged 4x8 pieces of mirrored Plexiglas like fun house mirrors and I'm playing with lighting tonight. I'd like to get my airsynth back together for spooky sounds but it might not happen. Hope the candy I have left is greater than the number of kids that come by........

I'm going out in an hour and will be a whiteboard. Pretty simple, white sweats and a handful of markers.

Damn it, I wanna go to a party!

Lotsa stuff in Portland.
Knotty Klown Parade (stripper clowns, porn, pub crawl, pie fights).
or
Polka Party with Those Damn Accordians (annual seriously warped polka party)
or
Darklady's Polyween (big ol' humpfest)
and there is all sorts of stuff downtown
Me and J are hitting some artsy thing at the Eagle's Lodge that a friend of our friend, Shoe Floozy is going to. I forget the name of this shin dig.

And "Its a Great Pumpkin Shoot, Charlie Brown!!" tomorrow morning.

Yes people, I knew some of you would be up for some frightening!

Thanks for the blood tips. I made that corn syrup mix and I'll try the glue. I found another way to do it, by mixing glue with flour and corn starch, rolling it thin and letting it dry, then attach. Not sure how much time I'll have to let the glue dry, but we'll see. I'm going to be pasty white with a bruised up face and a big slashed neck. I wish amy camera was working so I could post some pics!

I'm off to be a glowsticked belly dancer at our All Soul's Night event- I'm nervous, it's my first time dancing in front of more than 5 people! Then I'm out to dance all night at a couple parties, machete and all. I can't wait to brandish it! Another party tomorrow night...I love living in a town with lots of freaky deaky party people, party planners, and party music makers! Lydia L, maybe you ought to come up for a visit.

Have fun everyone, and lots of freaky creepy scariness to you!

I used to love dressing up for Halloween, now it's just fun to watch my girls and play an occasional prank.

***Gloat Mode On*** The el-wire robot costume that my 9 year old built won first prize in a local contest! I was almost in tears for her and she almose hyperventilated. You should see her with a soldering iron!

I rigged a zip line cable from the top of the house down to the parked mutant vehicle. Made a ghost out of an acrylic tower beacon cover and a bed sheet, then shoved one of those construction zone orange battery powered strobe lights up it and hung it from a pulley.

The idea is to scare the trick or treaters shitless by releasing it when they are leaving so it whizzes down into their pereferal vision. Then real it back up using the fishing poll to reload for the next victim. Line keeps breaking, off to Longs for some stuff to catch marlins with.

I'm thrilled that I could build it all with left over parts from the art car accept for one rubber toilet washer from the hardware store. My daughters are having fun playing with it and drawing the face on it with sharpies.

I love Halloween!
