I am not some mystical vending machine*
by chuckofish
but I do know that we all need a break from bitter political campaigning. And what better way to avoid reality than by dressing up for Halloween? Be adventurous. Go for horns and green skin.
If you’re not into dressing up, you might try watching something creepy (but not too scary). I’d recommend the 1961 film, “the Innocents”, with Deborah Kerr,
or perhaps the 1945 thriller, “The Spiral Staircase” with Dorothy McGuire and George Brent.
Movies can be incredibly deceptive, however, so beware. Shortly after discovering extremely cute Albert Finney in the delightful Tom Jones,
I remember tuning in to “Night Must Fall” only to discover that he plays a psycho-murderer. That was an unwelcome shift and a very disturbing movie. I’ll never look at a hat box the same way again…
Whatever you decide to watch, find something diverting. As for me…I’m not coming back to the present reality until after the election, and I’ll be very happy while I’m away, thank you.
*Lorne in an episode of Angel



Lorne is one of my all-time favorite television characters! Super costume! Did James sing?
Now that’s a very good question. I’ll have to find out 🙂
Lorne certainly had the great lines.
Lorne! I forgot about that costume. Great post. Nicole and I are just now debating something spooky to watch. We’ll take those suggestions under advisement (although I don’t know if I can handle a creepy Albert Finney)!
