It's Halloween!!!

Ahhh!!! Finally! It's Halloween! One of my favorite days of the year!

Sorry I have been so scarce lately but anyone who knows me understands that I literally camp out in front of the TV for hours around Halloween watching nothing but horror movie after horror movie. Doesn't matter if it's blood and guts or something psychological, if it's on or I can get it from Blockbuster, I am going to watch it! This year I have really outdone myself too. Last night alone I watched Poltergeist, Angel Heart and One Hour Photo. Tonight will be no different as I will probably immerse myself in some good old fashioned classics like Halloween and Friday the 13th!

I figured since I watched Poltergeist last night, I would post the myth and truths surrounding the deaths of some of the cast members! I love myths and urban legends....

Urban Legend: The Spielberg film "Poltergeist" was cursed with the deaths of cast members. This isn't really an Urban Legend but it is interesting since it's true. The film "The Exorcist" was also plagued with problems but that's another story.

The Story: An unusual amount of deaths have occurred around the three "Poltergeist" films, including three of the stars. These incidence have given way to rumors that the films were cursed because of their content. This seems a little silly, there are always explanations to "curses" like this. Or are there??

Two of the stars from the first film have died at young ages, two from the second film at not so young ages.

22-year old Dominique Dunne, who played older daughter Dana Freeling, died on November 4th,1982, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. She had been choked into a coma by her boyfriend. Her boyfriend raced to her home while she was rehearsing a scene for a movie, dragged her outside, strangled her and left her in a brain-dead coma. Her family removed her from life support 5 days later.

12-year-old Heather O'Rourke died of septic shock on February 1st., 1988, at the Children's Hospital in San Diego, California. What was thought to be the flu turned out to be a bowel obstruction which caused toxins to enter her system. She died at Children's Hospital while undergoing surgery to remove the obstruction.

60-year-old Julian Beck, who played the evil preacher Kane in the second film, died of stomach cancer on September 14th,1985, at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, NY. Like Heather O'Rourke, he died during the period between filming and release, but in his case the film in question was Poltergeist II, which was released in May 1986. O'Rourke died before the release of Poltergeist III.

53-year-old Will Sampson, who played Taylor in the second film, died on June 3rd., 1987, in a Houston, Texas hospital after receiving a heart-lung transplant 6 weeks earlier. The cause of his death was attributed to severe pre-operative malnutrition and post-operative kidney failure along with a fungal infection.

Now, to finish up my post, I would like to post some costumes not to wear this Halloween:









But the absolutely best costume of all comes from FlyinFox.... Drum Roll Please....



Have a VERY SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Uh Oh.. Tagged By AJ!

Tagged Tagged Tagged - Apparently, I am IT! Thanks to Aunt Jackie that is :)



Now there are rules to this little tagging session and they are as follows:

• I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.


• Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.


• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.


• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.


• Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. Some people do not realize that I actually have webbed toes. On each of my feet, the two toes next to my big toe are webbed together.


2. There are certain shows that I will watch over and over again even if I have seen all of the episodes. Those would be Seinfeld and Family Guy. There are also a few movies that I watch everytime I see they are on like "An Affair to Remember" and "Rebecca".


3. If I could spend my life doing a career of my choice, I would be a writer.


4. My sisters dubbed me the 'Song Goddess' at a young age because of the way I dance around like a fool and sing when a song I really love comes on. It's my music teachers fault because they always chose me to do the damn solo's and believe it or not, I hated it!


5. I love to have my back scratched so hard until it damn near bleeds. I know it sounds strange but it's the truth. And I love that burning feeling that always follows when its all done...AHHHHH!!!


6. I hate it when my foods touch on my plate. Drives me batty beyond belief!


7. I have OCD's. I have to each things like Skittles and M&M's in a "color-pleasing" order. I cannot go to sleep without checking my alarm several times and it usually starts a couple of hours before bed. I will sneak into my bedroom (so Michael doesn't notice) and will check it without anyone seeing. There are a few others but I will keep those to myself.


8. I consider 7 and 13 my lucky numbers. In fact, I love Friday the 13th. It's always been one of my lucky days.
