My family takes holidays seriously, pretty much any holiday, but especially Halloween.  Here’s pictures from a photoshoot my niece did in her Halloween costume for my sister Cheryl’s styling portfolio.  It makes me smile.

My Halloween costume, and the horror it hath wrought

As most of you know, when I’m not blogging about Voltron and Firefly, I’m a journalist in an undisclosed location.

As you may not know, journalists these days can be a rather dour lot. So, when I wore my Halloween costume to the morning news meeting, most of the other editors were not amused.

Until the kindergartners came by on a newsroom tour, peering through the glass windows.

“Do it,” our government editor whispered. “Turn around.”

Bowing to peer pressure, I slowly turned around and revealed my costume through the glass to the kids.

There were shrieks. Screams. One little girl ran to her mother, and buried her head deep within the folds of her dress. ..read more

So last night I was wandering the aisles of Walmart after picking up a Neti Pot (seriously, the best thing ever when you have a cold and are all clogged up) and came across these disgustingly fantastic Halloween props/fuel.  Gummy hands and feet with CRUNCHY BONES!  They make me wish I was going to be a zombie for ..read more

Halloween is just around the corner. And this time I am dressing up the son as a Starfleet captain. I figure it will be the one time in his life where I don’t have to listen to him complain about it or ask me why he can’t go as a squid.

And this time of the year always brings back the nostalgic horror movie watcher I was with my group of friends growing up. And it didn’t even have to be Halloween for us to hit up the video store for some kind of horror movie. And they were not the first run, quality kind either. It was the cheesiest of ..read more

This is MY kind of extra credit!

My movie-critic daughter recently went into first grade. She’s in some kind of special program for the gifted, and I’m kind of counting on my toddler son to use the family fortune to break her out someday.

But, Alliance academies aside, the tough curriculum she’s in means that she’s a long ways away from perfect scores. So any extra credit is welcome.

Last week, she brought home a sheet with an opportunity that rang my bell: she needed to work with a parent to make a haunted house out of cardboard, a shoebox, paint or other things found around the house.

I snatched the paper out of ..read more
