FRIGHT BYTES

“I’ve seen enough horror movies to know that any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly.” –Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

October is my favorite month of the year! And it’s not just because Libras are my most compatible astrological sign. The cooling temps really turn me on. But the real truth is that Halloween is my bag. You can get your Horror-freak on without freaking people out. Scared is a wonderful emotion!

My son & I did a little rebel yelling of our own at the Underworld Haunted House on 3rd street. Go Check it out! Dr. Will DeVour, head of the F.E.A.R. Institute, will make all your screams come true!

If you are not into screaming then DON’T look at your bank balance. In this FML time, financial constraints are at an all-time high … but if you’re in that “Papa Needs a Brand New Bag” sort of way, would you consider buying Vintage?

“It puts the lotion on or else it gets the hose.” –Buffalo Bill, Silence of the Lambs

If you are budget-challenged & in need of some new threads then Treasure Vintage @ 352 Cotton Avenue is calling your name. I dig vintage clothes and am a super freak about the 70’s Butterfly collared shirts. So word of advice, leave those on the rack for me. FYI: this place has Vintage Chic…it’s not a junk shop.

Can’t afford that Botox injection right now? Take advantage of your new zombie-like appearance by participating in The 11th Hour’s THRILLER Parade on Friday, Oct. 30th. Practice your moves at the weekly practices every Tuesday @ The Library Ballroom. 7pm. The dance practices make for a fun family night…so shake off the dust and get it a whirl.

Hosting a party on a budget? Save some dough on the music by using the website Pandora for a little background buzz … just hook your stereo speakers up the your laptop and presto…you’ve got a concert of any genre you’d like.

“A boy’s best friend is his mother.” –Norman Bates, Psycho
