sexy zombie santa
I went to the drug store this morning to get some last minute items. My girlfriend had previously purchased a bunch of candy that looked like it was made in Russia during the Stalin era, so I had to get some of the good stuff that they make in Pennsylvania. And more fake blood. I have long worked as a special effects designer for theatre and film, and let me be clear, you can never have enough fake blood.
Now granted, 9:00 A.M. on Halloween day is close to the outside of the availability window for giant bags of candy and stage blood.
If you wait till the last possible minute to do something, you can't really complain too much about dwindling supplies.
Well the aisle where Halloween lives was easily identifiable, just look for stacks of hollow plastic pumpkins. But in the aisle where the vampire teeth should be, stood mechanized snowmen, and inflatable Santas.
Giant blue plastic tubs full of Halloween sat out on the floor being hastily replaced by Christmas fare. Ornaments, lights, tinsel and Santa hats. Instead of the Halloween stuff I need. For Halloween. Tonight.
Shouldn't you at least wait 'till the event is over before you start the new one?
Are we planning to entirely forego Thanksgiving this year?
It must be the snow.
It makes people crazy.
