Halloween is the season of outlandish costumes but sometimes, after close observation, you just have to say, WTF?
Photo #1: Don’t know if both bleach blonde women have really bad Halloween costumes or really bad botox injections. Either way, WTF?
Photo #2: Back in the 1960’s when I went to Catholic grade school, the nuns only carried rulers, chalk board erasers, and yard sticks to inflict pain on the students. But chainsaws, WTF? Of course, I would probably have learned to play the flute-o-phone instead of fooling around.
Photo #3: A typical girl outside jumping rope. Upon further inspection, click the pgoto and take a good look at her mouth. Reminds me of Monty Python, "With big nasty pointy teeth!" Hey, WTF, is that the Big Ben tower in the background?
No matter what horror movie or science fiction movie you watch, the damsel in distress is always without exception a hot babe. Name me one movie where the damsel in distress was Rosie O'Donnell!
Ripley's Haunted Adventure located on the Parkway in Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a very popular haunt during the month of October. I have visited this haunt several times before but never in the month of October. Until this year.
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the month of October, at 6:13PM sharp, Ripley's has their own version of a zombie crawl as a horde of monsters parade down the Parkway ending up in front of the Haunted Adventure where they interact with the people on the street. after about 20 minutes, the monsters filter into the haunt and add to the excitement and fright.
We bought our tickets and got in line. There were about 100 people in front of us and several hundred behind us before it was our turn.
It was now our time to step into the rickety old cage that takes it's paying customers (Victims) to the top of the haunt. It is a very effective prop. Very loud, old, looks unsafe, and has a hint of danger to it. We met a crazy man at the top. I was informed that my camera must be turned off at this point. I obliged.
The haunt is a self guided tour. We were in a group of six people. I was the lead, my wife Patty behind me, the others behind her. We were instructed to put our hand on the persons back in front of us. A few seconds later we began our march through the haunt.
I will say the haunt is much larger than what it looks like from the outside. There were many rooms inside to navigate through. The props and graphics were above average and the actors were well trained and effective. This haunt was all about misdirection.
After about 30 minutes, we found our way out. We stepped into the elevator and.... I won't spoil it for you.
One thing I didn't like about this haunt. Outside while we were waiting in line, a woman was selling fiber optic lights to help you see in the haunt. She said it was absolutely necessary to see inside the haunt for it was pitch black inside. The lights, (Which were throw away quality) cost five dollars. I noticed that if you bought the lights at the ticket box office, they were only $2 dollars. Whip a rip off. I declined to buy the light. The woman selling them told me I would be sorry.
I was not. At no time did I ever need the fiber optic light. DO NOT BUY THE LIGHT! IT IS A RIP OFF. The rest of the haunted adventure was very entertaining and enjoyable. It was actually fun. We recommend it in the month of October.
On this entry, I had a very hard time placing the photo on the left in the correct category. In fairness, I believe it would hold it's on in the Best Halloween Costume category and of course it has plenty of merit to be in the Best Halloween melons category. I studied this photo for a very long time before a decision was made.
After countless hours, I determined she may be in any category she wants to be in. Please allow me to introduce you to the seductress Elvira, the vampire with the mostest succulent melons.
A very cheap and easy Halloween costume that will guarantee you to be the talk of the holiday party. Let your friends read your T-Shirt and then flash them pulling your shirt up revealing your zombie side. (And more importantly, your ample melons) A crowd pleaser for sure for this Halloween party.
Youngstown, Ohio held it's third annual Zombie Crawl last night as hundreds of locals donned their zombie clothes and painted up their faces to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. Naturally, it began at dusk as the zombie horde that was gathered at the bottom of the "Peanut" bridge began their march over the bridge.
The zombie horde reached the other side of the bridge and they slowly filtered onto West Federal Street en-route to the town square where a select few zombies would perform Michael Jackson's classic song, Thriller.
After the very entertaining performance of Thriller, the zombies began to collect once again to begin their zombie crawl. I caught this one screeching zombie as he walked the city streets of Youngstown.
The third annual Youngstown Zombie Crawl was a huge success. At the start of the crawl, there were enough zombies walking to cover the entire bridge as they approached West Federal Street. There were also hundreds of spectators lining the bridge and streets as the zombies paraded by. Certainly a fun time was had by all.
..... It's time to get serious about your Zombie apocalypse fortress. You never know when the Zombie horde will begin moving in your neighborhood. Having an impregnable fortress is only part of the equation to successfully survive a zombie apocalypse.
The zombie out break may last for months, even years until the zombie body breaks down enough to prevent mobility. Your fortress must not only be fortified from zombies, but also afford a small amount of normalcy to the survivor holed up in the structure.
Notice the photo on the top left. When there are no zombies in the immediate area, this fortress has the ability to open compartments to allow sunshine in, fresh air, to replenish supplies, to expel waste and allow a small semblance or normalcy.
Notice the photo on the right. When zombies are in the area, the compartments tightly seal preventing zombies from getting any traction whatsoever. The thick slick walls are sound proof preventing zombies from hearing what is happening inside. As time goes by, the zombies will lose interest in the fortress and move on to the next area.
