Haunted Houses and Dancing Skeletons (1929)

Since we’re posting things to get us into the halloween mood around here, I thought I’d put this up. It’s Disney’s Mickey Mouse from 1929 in Haunted House. I was fascinated by it when I was a little kid and pretty sure it’s what began my fascination/addiction with skulls, skeletons and bones.

Another fun one related to Micky’s haunted house adventure is Disney’s short from 1929 The Skeleton Dance.

Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Tonight I’m going to watch one of my favorite movies to get myself in the mood for Halloween – Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton. It’s everything that sums up the season for me: exciting, creepy, kind of dangerous, crisp colors, pumpkins, Christopher Walken. I think it’s a bit of underrated genius, plus it really is a classic Halloween story from back in the day. I remember watching the Disney version on t.v. every year when I was a kid.

SoCreepy wants to get you in the mood, too! For your viewing pleasure, let me tease you with some Sleepy Hollow!

Monsters are real

Monsters (2010)

Ever since I was a kid I’ve always been a sucker for monster movies. Specifically Godzilla and crew (all hail King Ghidorah). As we all know, the US remake of Godzilla was horrible (albeit financially successful). I was crazy excited when Cloverfield came out in 2008 and loved it. I even think I am one of the few that actually enjoyed the recent film The Mist. Now we have another monster movie coming out aptly titled Monsters. It looks to be a classic monster movie.

Iron Man, Whiplash and War Machine Halloween Costumes

Hey beefy manly man…are you feeling Tony Stark sexy? Do ya wanna? Well, I want you to! I wanna see your awesomeness wrapped up in an Iron Man Halloween costume this October. I want to see blue Christmas lights pulsing from your chest and hear the clunk of your boots as you approach the Bitches Brew Halloween punch.

What’s that you say? Everyone is going to wear an Iron Man Halloween costume this year? Yeah, you’re probably right. Oh? You also say you’re too much man to really be Iron Man? Ah, of course. You wanna whip out the Whiplash Halloween costume. Whip. Bad joke. And don’t get me started on how hot Mickey Rourke USED to be! But I digress…

Seriously guys, this year a hot Halloween Costume look will be anything from Iron Man – Tony Stark, Iron Man, Whiplash or War Machine. If you’re feeling especially spicy, let me see you go as Pepper Potts. Spicy. Damn, I did it again. Just don’t forget to shave your legs. Gywneth would never approve otherwise.



Alice in Wonderland Halloween Costumes

Do you think Alice in Wonderland is a slut? Growing up, I never really thought she was. I mean, she definitely wasn’t the kind of girl I wanted to be friends with – too prissy with her little black shoes and hair bow. SoCreepy is definitely not a fan of the prudish types.

Now though, I’m thinking Alice in Wonderland may very well be part slut – and part badass! I think that after checking out all the Alice in Wonderland Halloween costumes. I mean, Alice is just a girl trying to make her way in a world full of weirdos, right? “How” she makes it is clearly up to you, dear reader. That’s why I recommend an Alice in Wonderland Halloween costume this year. The possibilities are endless.

Alice in stilettos? Got ya covered! Alice in bondage? You’re a dirty girl! Remember, you can also opt for the Queen of Hearts and if you wanna bring a boy toy to the Halloween party, I recommend a Mad Hatter or Chesire Cat Halloween costume. If you’re REALLY gonna slut out in your Alice in Wonderland Halloween costume, you hook your boys up as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Double date. Bow chicka bow wow!
