Ghost Car Vanishes - Police Baffeled

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

This is one of the most interesting and creepy videos I have seen in awhile.  This ghostly video show a high speed car chase of the Garden City P.D. and what they refer to as the Ghost Car. 

The Ghost Car swerves and weaves in and out of traffic.  The driver is “like a man possessed” and all hell breaks loose.

Halloween Party Punch

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Halloween Punch Not Always a Smart IdeaHalloween parties can be a blast and a great time to let loose and have some fun.  From my own parties in the past I have one suggestion of something you may want to be careful with or avoid entirely.

Alcoholic Punch:  This is extremely tasty, and looks awesome displayed on the table, expecially sitting in a container filled with dry ice for that creepy fog rising effect. 

The problem with the punch is that it’s sneaky.  Sneaky booze is booze that everyone loves to drink and you can barely taste the alcohol in but it’s extremely powerful.  Before you know it, your house is full of overly intoxicated adults spilling and yacking in your yard or worse all over your bathroom toilet.

That’s not even the worst part.  The worst part is the next morning, because you will have sucumb to the beast of the punch bowl yourself and have no clue of the mess in which you are about to receive.

You stagger down the stairs knowing a mess is what you are about to see, but are totally unprepared for the horror and smells you are about to attain. 

You groggily take a step off of the stairs onto the kitchen floor and your foot sticks like a fly to fly paper.  Your nostrils fill with the odor of old fruit, rum, and beer mixture. 

You wonder to yourself “What the hell is this?”  Then the previous evenings events begin to flood your pounding head.

Your floor is covered in a sticky, icky mass that once was shiny and clean.  The sparkle of the linoleum floor is gone replaced by stagnant fruit juices and alcohol that once were a hauntingly beautiful table display. 

You will have to scrub your floors several times and open the windows immediately.  That smell isn’t going anywhere for quite awhile.

So think twice before you serve alcoholic punch.

Halloween Costumes - Creative and Fun Costume Ideas

Skeleton Family CostumesShow your wild, funny, or truly absurd side and take home that Best Costume prize you’ve had your eye on! After all, Halloween is all about becoming an entirely different person for one night. The more creative you can be the better.

Arrive at the party dressed as your favorite sports star, as your favorite animal, or as your jerk of a boss. Any of these subjects could result in good ideas for Halloween costumes - even GREAT ideas! Hate your job? Love animals?

Do you enjoy sports? You just have to be observant. Good ideas for Halloween costumes are everywhere. Ask around; maybe your cousin dressed up as something or someone really spectacular three years ago and would be happy to loan you her costume.

Craft magazines and catalogs are also a great resource, as are your friends and family. Some flowing fabric and strands of bells could be used to craft an exotic gypsy costume. A cheap art set could be transformed into a Parisian artist’s costume. By browsing the aisles you’ll discover an array of make-your-own costume supplies from angel wings to bridal veils. Many people succeed in finding good ideas for Halloween costumes by visiting party supply or craft stores.

All you need is a little imagination! Good ideas for Halloween costumes are as easy to find as you make them. In fact the cast of any TV show or movie is a great way to get all of your friends or co-workers in on the fun. Adult groups of friends will love dressing up as Charlie’s Angels, the Dukes of Hazard (complete with Daisy and Boss Hog!), Three Amigos, or characters from Gilligan’s Island.

How about Alvin and the Chipmunks or a trio of Superheros? Have three kids? Dress up your two children as Raggedy Ann and Andy, Sonny and Cher, or Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The entertainment industry is especially ripe with good ideas for Halloween costumes for groups of adults or children. Even items found around your home can spark great ideas - have you ever considered going to your next Halloween party dressed as a box of cereal, a toaster, or a bagel?

Dora the Explorer and Kim Possible are popular with girls now, and what boy will turn down the chance to be Spider Man for a night? Look no further than the local toy store or your child’s favorite Saturday morning cartoon. Looking for good ideas for Halloween costumes for kids? Actors, TV characters, famous faces from the news, even characters from books can be great fodder for Halloween night.

Good ideas for Halloween costumes can come from a variety of sources, whether it’s the Internet, TV, movies or even your hobbies.

Halloween Costume Make up - Undead Ghouls & Zombies

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Zombie Face Makeup - Special EffectsThere isn’t a Halloween costume mask in creation that can look as realistic as a good makeup job.  However, getting that special Halloween undead look can be a trick for anyone that hasn’t used costume makeup or prosthetics before.  I know in my youth I had spent numerous hours sticking icky sticky stuff all over my face.  Desparately trying to get the desired ghoulish look for my costume and always ending up looking more like a circus clown gone bad than the horrific ghoul I had invisioned.

The problem isn’t that you don’t have the correct  costume make-up or materials, it’s just that no one ever explained how to apply the make-up.  Directions on the back of bottles and the prosthetic makeup packages leave just about everything to the imagination.   It doesn’t matter if you’re making a tiger, pirate skeleton or an undead zombie face, sometimes a little direction goes a long, long way. 

This first video is without prosthetics and just costume makeup.  Using a simple costume makeup kit you can make one creepy undead zombie.  I will be listing more halloween how to videos on using prosthetics, so stay tuned.  Be sure to let me know of your halloween costume worries and I’ll try my best to help you out.
