Anyone who knows me knows that Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. After all, the day is all about sugar comas, hijinks and girls dressing up like complete harlots. It is the one night a year when girls can dress like total sluts and no other girls can say anything about it. Case in point - my sexy schoolgirl outfit in these photos. I am a bad, bad, bad girl, and I deserve a spanking. Preferably with a ruler. During detention. On my saucy bum.

This year, to celebrate the holiday, I decided to head out to watch a special screening of Halloween at a cinema near me. Yes, Halloween. The original. Donald Pleasance. PJ Soles. An awesome William Shatner mask. It was an absolute dream come true for a horror movie geek like me.

Afterwards, on the ride home, my buddy and I were discussing a fairly fabulous idea - we need to open up a theater that would only show horror movies every day. It would be the greatest theater ever! We could show a mixture of old classics, cult favorites and modern horror film geniusness. The more we discussed the idea, the more excited I became – I spent hours the next day making lists in my head of all of the films we would show, like Sleepaway Camp ... April Fool's Day ... Dr. Giggles ... Audition ... The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari ... Ringu ... The Thing ... Alien ... The Shining ... Dracula ... The Pit and the Pendulum ... American Werewolf in London ... and myriad others. I personally feel it is the greatest idea ever, but, then again, I think I may be a bit biased.

With that, I raise my pint glass of pumpkin ale to the best holiday ever. Thank you, Halloween, for all the memories over the years - the hurled eggs; the apples supposedly stuffed with razorblades; using pillowcases as candy receptacles and more naughty nurses, naughty schoolgirls and naughty teachers than I know what to do with.

Oh, and by the way ... see anything you like? *winks*

Now go get me another beer.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
