Halloween 09

What an exciting Halloween this year. On Friday myself and two other friends went to the movie store to go and get scary movies for our marathon. Unfortunately, the majority of the scary movies left were either rated R or were just plain stupid looking.
After scouring the store we managed to get The Grudge, The Ring Two, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Red Orchid, White Noise, and Disturbia. Upon returning home we decided that we should make a tent in the front room. After pulling the sheets off of our beds and lots of thumb tacks and duck tape we finished our masterpiece.
After finishing our masterpiece we decided to make some popcorn and watch one of our "scary" movies. Hoping to get scared we put in The
Grudge. For those of you who don't know what this movie is don't worry about it. The Grudge had its moments, although they were scarce and few, where we got scared. But the possibility of losing sleep because we were just to scared wasn't a problem. We all slept like babies that night or morning. Upon waking the day was spent watching the rest of the scary movies in our house. Which turned out to be really fun.

Our costumes for that night had been planned out for almost the entire semester. We were going with the ninja turtles. Since there are only four ninja turtles two of us got the challenge of coming up with something else. I drew the short end of the stick and was given the opportunity to come up with my own costume. I chose to be April O'Neil, the carrot topped girl that helps the turtles out. How do you think I did?
I chose to do a mixture of the new April and the old April. So my hair is more orange than red and I don't have a sword like the new April. The shoes were some sneakers covered with white duct tape that wrapped around the bottom of my pants as well. How was your Halloween?

Hilarious costume! You did a great job. I must admit, I have never seen any of those movies, and I probably never will. I would be up all night.

The movies sure got my heart pumping.

Too funny. Glad you had fun. For me? I'm just glad it's over... bah humbug to Halloween! *giggle*

Lol. I was thinking of you the whole time. Wondering if you would be screaming. Lol. I agree with you though. Halloween is not my favorite. I probably wouldn't dress up if it wasn't for my roommates. Scary movies I like.

Don't enjoy the scary movies, but thought your costume was great! Thanks so much for the picture. Was it hard to get the color out of your hair? Love you, Nana

It wasn't hard at all. I bought a spray for my hair and just sprayed it on. It washed out that night.
