Halloween/Slootpacalypse




Bonfires burning bright,
Pumpkin faces in the night,
I remember halloween.
Dead cats hanging from poles,
Little dead are out in droves,
I remember halloween brown leaved vertigo,
Where skeletal life is known,
I remember halloween this day anything goes.
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember halloween,
Halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween.
Candy apples and razorblades,
Little dead are soon in graves,
I remember halloween this day anything goes,
Burning bodies hanging from poles,
I remember halloween, halloween, halloween,
halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween.

The Misfits- Halloween

This song always comes to mind when October rolls around each year, and its lyrics hold pretty true at least in a sort of voyeuristic way. Everyone knows, the stores especially, that most everyone delves into their darker side in the month of October in decorations, attitude and at least one day, wardrobe. Tv stations play old horror movies in marathon form, Hollywood releases a few new horror flicks and stores are flooded with witches, pumpkins, black cats and skeletons. This is however my favorite “holiday” because for just one night out of the year, you don’t have to be yourself and you can be whatever you’ve dreamt up. I also like it because it shows a side of people that they keep hidden the rest of the year, and as adults there is usually drinking involved so inhibitions are even lower.Oh and theres also the whole deal of how girls can use it as an excuse to dress as slutty and sexy as they want with supposedly no repercussions, also earning the holiday the nickname Slootpacolypse, you can use that if you want, I stole it. It’s fun to pretend, but what if you were yourself on Halloween night and the rest of the time you were pretending? Liberating I would think.

I saw an article reposted by a friend from highschool that said Chupacabra’s are just coyotes with scabies…so that sucks, I wonder when they will demystify the Bigfoot, which really just sounds like a hairy guy with abnormally sized feet, meh.
