Not like I stabbed myself or anything, but I have painful bruises on my right wrist from rubbing my arm against the rims of the pumpkins I gutted last night. They are beginning to darken.
Who's hardcore? ME.

How fricking awesome is this? Person who made this: you are 15 kinds of awesome.
I wish I could have gotten some night shots.

Of Halloween Horror Nights
Well, we did it. Mr. Strublay, The Brother-In-Law, and I all went to Universals Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. First things first: To all the actors who got frustrated that I didn't get scared, I'm sorry. All of the haunted Houses were very well done, the makeup alone is worth going for, and the terror tram is extremely cool. Most of it was really good, but it did have its weaknesses. The scare zones were very limited (one, the Silent Hill one in the lower lot, wasn't even active), they relied heavily on gore, and I believe Universal has missed some really great opportunities to do some really amazing stuff like Treehouse Of Horrors takes over the Simpsons Ride.
All in all I highly recommend going.
At the bottom I have posted a Video of the Terror Tram night hike.

Even though the 747 crash is a creepy scene to begin with, adding zombies is scary.

If I have anything to give you advice on it is this: Go to The Terror Tram FIRST. Then go down to the Lower Lot and move your way to the front.

When we got there it was a 4o minute wait, and I don't think it was even that long. The wait was 100+ for the rest of the night
Twist: You get kicked off the tram and walk.
Husband wasn't expecting it, I was (from seeing the sets earlier) Both of us were thrilled.

Of witnesses.
Paranormal Witness is on Netflix.
I squeaked out in happiness upon finding it, the entire neighborhood heard me I think.
Do NOT care.
Of Candy, or how to win a childs heart through bribery.

Hard candy for douche-bags, Reese's for everyone else (and me.... sometimes), Smarties for me and the Gluten Free kids!

Of acquaintances and villains
Image from the Mouth of Sauron from the Speical Extended Edition of the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, as found on The Movie Prick
An acquaintance of mine from Cali, who here we will call only by his pen name, The Movie Prick, has a little blog about movies, and during October he does Villain of the Day, which this year seems to have a geeky bent, but it looks at the antagonists in casual detail. It's fun to see what he picks from day to day, and his rants about bad movies are pretty funny.
Of Haunted Farms
Haunted Overload is, by far, the best haunted attraction I have ever been too, and I would be going this year if I wasn't 2793 miles away right now. If you live anywhere near Lee NH, you owe it to yourself to go take a walk through this awesome haunt, and to send me pictures, so I can be relentlessly jealous.
All pictures in this post are from The Haunted Overload Site
I wish I had been there for the snow storm...
