The Spooky Rant 10-30-00 The Spooky Rant 10-30-00(Special Halloween Edition of the Daily Rant)

*Cue the creepy music* You are now entering the special Halloween edition of the Daily Rant(mwhahahahahmwhahahaha):

Greetings boils and ghouls. I figured I might take advantage of the upcoming holiday and make a special Halloween-themed rant. Halloween is that special holiday where little brats run around in silly costumes knocking on your door asking for candy. So all in all, a pretty fun holiday. Now Halloween isn’t all about trick-or-treating. You also have the other cliche traditions such as rolling someone’s house, egging things, and the infamous flaming bag of dog poo. Speaking of rolling yards, mine got rolled Friday night. Now the culprit(s) better be glad I wasn’t home or there would have been some skulls cracked. Something like that.

Once I passed through the 8th grade, I called it quits on the trick-or-treating. There comes a time where everyone must grow up. That time hasn’t come for me, but I still gave up trick-or-treating. Anyways, I grew up wearing the cheap plastic costumes. You know, you have the plastic body cover and the plastic mask. Over the years, I wore several. One year I was Mickey Mouse, then Mace from COPS, also I was Oscar the Grouch. One of my favorite of the plastic costumes that I had was the Ninja Turtles one I had. It was awesome. Then, once I grew out of the plastic costume phase, I became a little more creative. I wore a hockey mask. Nothing scares me more than a little 10 year old in a hockey mask. You know the feeling. I was once I vampire I do believe. Also I was a G.I. Joe. I had the Army threads and everything . During my high in the wrestling phase, I dressed up as Sting. He is the one who wears the trenchcoat and face paint similar to the Crow. Oh well. The last year of my trick-or-treating, I was a punk. I had green hair, face paint that with “Help Me” written backwards on my head. I think I even wore the trenchcoat from the previous year. My brother is starting his plastic costume phase this year. He is going to be Wolverine from the X-Men. I forgot what he was last year. Oh well. David’s first year of first year of trick-or-treating, he went as the green Teletubbie(I think its name was Dipsy). It was a cloth costume if I recollect. Oh well, who cares?

Now if you are past the age of trick-or-treating, you have an alternative. That alternative can be having a horror movie marathon. It’s almost mandatory. Get some of the scariest movies ever made. Now don’t go and get Scream or some lame slasher like that. You definitely need to watch the movie Halloween on Halloween. That is one of the greatest horror movies ever made. Another good one would be The Exorcist. Creepy. The Shining, Nightmare On Elm Street, New Nightmare, It, and Forrest Gump are all good scary movies. Just kidding about the last one there. You could also be like Jesse and have a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I’ve only seen that movie once. The only thing that comes to mind is “I’ve been working on the railroad.” That’s a bit of an inside joke.

AMC (American Movie Classics) is having a nice little marathon of Frankenstein movies. I didn’t realize how many movies were made about Frankenstein until now. You have Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein, Frankenstein Meets Wolfman, House of Frankenstein, I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, Curse of Frankenstein, Revenge of Frankenstein, and more. Yeesh, that’s a lot of Frankenstein. They will all be shown on Halloween through-out the day. Tonight they’re showing a marathon of Mummy movies. That’s a lot of scary. The Simpsons will throw out their annual Treehouse of Horror. It will not be shown until November 1st. What’s the point in having a Halloween-themed show premiere on the day after Halloween? Craziness.

Well, that’s it. There it is, the first special holiday-themed issue of the Daily Rant. Look for many more for such holidays as Veteran’s Day, Columbus Day, Hanukkah(though I’m not Jewish), and Boxing Day(Nor am I Canadian). Just kidding. I must go. I’ve got to go get a costume out of the bargain bin. I was going to be a Pokemon but I guess I’ll have to settle for being a member of N*SYNC. Possibly Justin. Just kidding again. I wish everyone a Happy Halloween and safe trick-or-treating to you all who are children at heart. So long. Bye bye, see ya.

P.S.-If you want to get into the Halloween mood, check out the Spooky Section located under the Misc. Debris. Read up on the history of the holiday, the legend of Tennessee's own Bell Witch, and even some corny Halloween jokes. Now I'm gone.
