Halloween Parties

Went to two really good halloween parties this year. The first was at Rich G's in Worcester. I went as a vampire, zombie, clockwork orange composite, as you can see from the photo below.
















The standard of costumes was (as usual) very high, but Barry T looked particualrly scary. He used latex on his face to give the impression of being bullet ridden (a bit like his Half Life alter ego, "Orson Cart", after he has been on the rough end of a pasting from my good self!)




Barry T with John B dressed as a mummy in the background.














Alex also looked particularly scary, as the Devil. The red paint must have got every where! You can just about make out the horns on his head. Russ, in the background looked amazingly like Uncle Fester from the Admas family, but he hadn't actually dressed up :-D
















This was Cathy and her teacher friend from Oxford















This is Esther, she came as a dark angel, and although you can't see it in this pic, she had black wings and a black halo on her head















Rich came as a clown. Clowns are scary....















Gaz usually courts controversy by coming as some dispicable human being (usually Mr Bin Laden) Its good to see he didn't disappoint this year! If Rich had a garden, he was going to set fire to his cross there :-) John B sewed all the bandages onto a set of pjamas for the mummy look















The second party was thrown by my next door neighbour, Carol. She really went to town on decorating her front garden and dressing up the kids (and the adults!) The effect of the flying ghosts in the front garden and all the tomb stones looked fantastic on the night.


This is me in the kitchen with some spooks and a can of beer!










My witches hat looks a bit deflated. Im not quite as scary as the rest of them















This is part of the scene outside with the skeletons escaping from the grave. You can see the tomb stone in the background
















Pretty scary huh? As if the skeleton wasn't bad enough, he's being chased by a ghost!



















In this pic, one of the kids had just dropped a hairy spider on me from her bedroom window. As you can see, Im not scared at all!! :-D















I showed them pesky kids - I was more scary than the spider. And no, those teeth aren't fake scary ones, they're my own :-D















Them nob-heads on 'Most haunted', dream of getting pics like this, and when they don't, that ponce, Derek Acorah fakes them.

I was a pirate! Pirates are the new Cowboys

Evo1 said...

question for you, why are Pirates so ugly?

Mark T said...

Is this pre-amble to a joke Evo, or have you graduated from Phillips school of charm? :-)

And, no I don't know why Pirates are so ugly...?

Sorry, forgot I'd left this one hanging.

After all the suspense, I'm sorry to tell you that the unexciting answer is just....

Because they Arrrr (said in a Piratey accent as in, Arrr Jim lad)

does anybody else think he looks like a cowboy?

Mark T said...

no, I think he looks like a good looking pirate. In fact he could shiver me timbers any time. I bet he has a massive plank, that I'd like to walk one day. Arrrr, he could buckle my swash if he likes. I dont even know who he is, but id like to be the bird on his shoulder, as i played with his 'pieces of eight' Damn forgot to publish anonymously :-)
