Something Wicked This Way Comes!

Halloween. It's easily my favorite time of year. Some of my reasons for this are the horror movies littered all over TV, the candy [who DOESN'T like free junk food?!], the changing colors of the leaves and [most importantly] the costumes. It wasn't until the other day that I realized that I could be working on Halloween and that makes me sad [gotta make sacrifices though, right?] since I know I may not be able to do my annual horror movie marathon.. [usually consisting of 'Hatchet', 'Nightmare On Elm Street', and of course; 'Halloween'] So to ease my pain a little bit, I decided to go to Spirit Halloween. I had forgotten how much I love this store. From creepy dolls, to the most obscure of costumes [I mean a twerking Miley Cyrus costume?! Ugh..]. This got me thinking.. assuming I work, what kind of costumes would I personally like?? So in this post, I'm going to share some of the cooler costumes I've found at Spirit and no- Miley is not included.

———————————————————————————–

 

Blackest Night Batman [Zombie Batman]

how could you not wanna be a zombified Batman? It combines two of the best things: zombies & Batman. This exclusive costume is from the Blackest Night series, which also included The Green Lantern, but you knew that. [the costume itself is only $49.99, but hey- it is pretty hardcore looking!]

Big Top Terror 
If there's one thing I don't like in this world, it's clowns.. they've never been a big favorite of  mine, and before you ask, the answer is no.. Stephen King's It did not help. So naturally, being a fan of scary things/movies, I had to incorporate this guy.. In the mood to give me nightmares for life? This creep is only $29.99, but only available online [order this costume here]

Eye Scream Appliance Kit

Although technically not a costume, this eye kit is pretty graphic in it's own right. The only thing I think of when I see this piece is this . For those who don't know, that picture is from Hostel. [and you can read my review on the film here] This eye piece is selling for $9.99; however is only available online [order it here]

So I'm sure you're already aware-

Although everyone everywhere is talking about it, I decided I should do a post on it as well. A couple days ago [I'm pretty sure it was last week..] there was a shooting at the Premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, where over 50 people were injured and 12 were killed. The suspected shooter was a guy named James Holmes [as seen below]

and he remains behind bars for the time being as he is only suspected. This kind of ordeal pisses me off. People go to see a movie, let alone a premiere; and some asshole decides to open fire on everyone. [can you believe that one of the people who were killed was a baby?!] It makes people feel unsafe, and really fucking pissed off. I know this feeling quite well because I work at a theater.. So it comes to no surprise that when I answer the phone [this actually happened yesterday], people are asking if we have security or if this has happened at our theater.. Fuck, I just don’t even understand- to make matters even worse, it seems that movie companies are just as worried about this as the viewers. For example, have you heard about an upcoming movie called ‘Gangster Squad’ ?

[yeah, this one- the one with Emma Stone. Probably the only reason I'll see it!]

[Come on, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking she looks amazing...]

Well, Warner Brothers is debating [nothing is 100% yet] on editing the film; out of fear of the same thing happening.. I understand the reasoning, but I hope to hell and back they don’t edit it- primarily because if they do, it won’t be the first. By this, I simply mean, that more and more movies will be edited until we’re all watching children’s movies [and as a horror fan, that just won't do] !

[even though I despise the idea of this being remade, can you imagine it being edited to the point of being a child's movie? No, I don't want to imagine that either..]

Now, let’s rewind for a second- I had mentioned that over 50 people were injured [wounded, not fatally] so obviously, they’d be in the hospital right? Well, something amazing happened- this past weekend, a friend of mine sent me a thing on Facebook saying we should petition for Christian Bale [y'know, the guy who plays Batman in The Dark Knight Trilogy] to go to the hospital and actually go visit the survivors. Well, after checking Facebook this morning, I can confirm he actually went through with it!

This photo which was posted by Carey Rottman [above sitting with the huge arm tattoo] to Twitter. Carey was one of the 50 injured in the infamous shooting, and had posted two photos of himself with Bale on his Facebook page. This actually makes me happy, knowing that a guy like Christian Bale is willing to go to this level of humanity. I’d like to thank Bale for making an appearance- as it probably made this guy’s day! [let alone life, how many people can say they got a picture with Batman?] Anyways, I thought I’d fill you in on my thoughts, and if you have anything else on it- perhaps you can fill me in? I’m sure I’m not the only one who isn’t at all happy with Mr. James Holmes. Lastly, I’m curious- is there any movie you don’t want to see being remade/edited? Lemme know in a comment or two! Cheers.
