Michael Myers

I was around 10 years old when I first saw john Carpenter's movie Halloween. Released in 1978, this movie solidified my love for horror movies from that point forward. I did not sleep for 2 days after watching this movie. It was a moment in my life I will never forget.

One thing I have always done is kept an eye out for that mask. No, not checking corners because of paranoia... I have always wanted to buy one. A REAL looking Michael Myers mask. Well, my wait has finally ended.

For around $50 this year, you can get the new 2012 Michael Myers Universal Halloween 2 mask.

This mark looks to be as authentic as you can get. Made by a company called Trick or Treat Studios. This is the first company to EVER get the mask right in my opinion.

How bad were the other masks made by other companies? Let's take a look...

Wow... scary, huh?

Add a little color and you have a clown mask!

 

Really???

What I can't understand is why it took so long for a company to do this. Legalities maybe? Rumor has it that they had to license this new 2012 mask as Halloween 2, even though the masks are pretty much the same in both movies. All because of licensing issues.

So, anyway... Here is a picture of me wearing my Michael Myer's costume proudly. Until next time... BOO!

 

Tis the season to be SCARY!!!

Ahhhhh. It's that time of year again! The ghosties and werewolves are getting ready to come to my door and yell, "TRICK OR TREAT!" Love this time of year. Not necessarily because of the candy, costumes and creepiness, but because it is a time of change. A renewal of sorts. The trees leaves drop, the air gets crisper. It almost feels like a time to start a new.

So, what do I have planned for this October? Well... some awesome Scream Paranormal Research team stuff of course. But I also think I am going to stop and smell the fallen leaves this season a bit. Maybe watch a classic horror movie or two. Definitely attend a few cool haunted attractions as well. Trick or treat? Of course!

Why? Because who knows what tomorrow will bring. Life is too short. Being true to yourself and your family is the only way to live an awesome life. I hope you never forget this.

So make a Pumpkintini(drink recipe below) and chill out this year with me. Happy Hauntings! Cheers!
