Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Well, see, that's the thing. Santa Claus is a man, even though he has a very specific costume. But the Easter Bunny isn't human. Real bunnies are sweet and cute. Grown men in bunny costumes, not so much.

Well, it's a sad commentary on our times, but we all know now that child predators can be attracted to gigs like that. I guess having the children sit alongside is just a way to avoid possible lawsuits. When my daughter was in grade school, I was tempted to sign her up for summer camp at the Nashvil...

That's kinda sad about the lonely Easter bunny, but I must confess I never took my kids for Easter bunny photos. We did Santa every year when they were young, but I never did the Easter bunny in my childhood. I mean, the Easter bunny came, but it wasn't a thing to get photos made with him back then....

I read about it yesterday after you mentioned it. I didn't know that it was Latvian, or that it had been made using free software. But it does sound interesting. It seems we are entering an era when there is more access for creative people. They no longer have to go through the gatekeepers of the en...

Flow? I guess I'm really out of the loop. I hadn't even heard of it. But I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I am sorry to hear about Val Kilmer. I saw him in several movies back in the day, and most recently in Top Gun Maverick, which I thought was a much better movie than the original Top Gun. I learned at choir practice tonight that our minister's wife just lost her mother unexpectedly today, so she's h...

Oh, man, good for her, I guess. But what a thing to do to people who care about you!

I'm glad it wasn't true.

Johnny Depp has always struck me as essentially a character actor in a leading man's body. He's never won an Oscar (though he should have for the first Pirates). I've always hoped he might win for a supporting role someday.

Well, I bought Nosferatu on DVD in Feb and finally watched it last night. My middle son, who saw part of it before leaving for his night shift, remarked it was a "morbid fever dream," which is a pretty good description. The director, Robert Eggers? I think, has also done The Witch, The Lig...

The whole cast loved Portland, and two of them stayed there, at least for a while, after the show wrapped. I believe the Monroe and Sean Reynard actors chose to stay for a while. The guy who played Hank had another, short-lived tv show, and the girl who played Adalind had a significant story arc on ...

Oh, yes. That was a Halloween episode, and I Ioved it. The girl who plays Juliette is the daughter of some American diplomat to South America (Argentina? Maybe). She is fluent in Spanish in RL, so they used that skill in that episode. Don't know if I've mentioned it before, but the summer after Grim...

Ah! So where are you in Grimm?

Yes, the tornadoes were bad in some places, and there was loss of property in our county, but not near us. We're having a kind of St Patrick's Day meal tonight, Irish sausage (whatever that is) and small boiled red potatoes that I dress with a butter herb sauce. Just a bagged salad with it, nothing ...

My CA cousins say they prefer earthquakes to tornadoes. IDK. To me, nothing would be quite so terrifying as not being able to count on the earth beneath my feet. Of course, we aren't immune to that, either. The New Madrid Fault over near Memphis produced the granddaddy of all earthquakes c 1810 or 1...

Lol. I was never required to climb a rope in gym class (thank the Lord), but my mother was. She spoke of it as the worst part of her gym class experience.
