Halloween 13
I nabbed this from SJ a bit ago but I only now got around to completing it. I was waiting until closer to the actual holiday. Seems close enough now, don't you think?
- What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
The "Version You've Never Seen" of The Exorcist. That damned spider walk scene gives me the willies. - What was your favorite Halloween costume as a child?
It's a tie between Perseus from Clash of the Titans and Emperor Palpatine from The Return of the Jedi. Both homemade by my mom. - Given enough money what would be your fantasy Halloween costume?
I would be one of the Colonial Marines from Aliens. Specifically Drake (Mark Rolston) because he had that mutha of a gun. - When was the last time you went trick-or-treating?
I think it was back in 1997 while in grad school. I could be wrong. Maybe it was the year before that during my senior year of college. - What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Although, I would love to get my hands on some of SJ's Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins. Never heard of them before. - Tell us about a scary nightmare you once had.
I'd really rather not talk about it again, so I'll link it. - What is your supernatural fear?
Ouija boards. I tried one once and it worked. Never touched it again. - What is your ‘creepy-crawly’ fear?
Spiders and cockroaches. Not much of a fan of either. Although taking pictures of spiderwebs has made me a bit more tolerant of the former. - Tell us about a time when you saw a ghost, or heard something go bump in the night.
Never saw one, per se. But was visited by the spirit of my friend Mike who died back in 1993. He visited me via my radio cutting songs in and out and playing songs he liked that the station I was listening to at the time never has played before. - Would you stay overnight in a real haunted house?
Absolutely. Might take me a while to actually enter, but I'd do it eventually. - Are you a traditionalist or a creative carver of your Jack-O’Lantern?
More traditional. Actually, I don't even really carve that much. I like whole pumpkins for decoration along with gourds and indian corn. That and you don't wind up with rotten, smelly pumpkins by the time the actual holiday rolls around. - How much do you decorate your house at Halloween?
We decorate the inside moreso than the outside. Pumpkins, lights, gourds, the works. - What do you want on your tombstone?
I'm not even entirely sure I want a tombstone to be honest. I'd rather have my ashes spread in a few different places as a tribute. A little bit spread on Hawk Hill near Sausalito, CA. Some along the lakefront or at Soldier Field in Chicago. Maybe a little urn along the bar at my fave pub, Old Towne, in Geneva, IL (just don't put me in a mixed drink, please).
Steal at will, as per usual.
