Scary or Sexy? Either way...I ain't complaining.

                                         


Aah, Halloween. The holiday where everyone can scare the shit out of each other without the fear of getting in trouble. The holiday where ghosts, demons, and monsters of all sorts come out to play. Free candy, spooky decorations, haunted houses, and the best of them all: Scary movies. There’s a reason why this holiday is one of my top favorite holidays. Christmas is a close second. They both kind of battle it out every now and then. Ironic if you know Christian religion. But that’s neither here nor there. But there’s one thing that has slightly lessened my liking to Halloween (though not really). And that would be the costumes. 

Now, I don’t want to come off as a dick, but I got to ask: Whatever happened to scary Halloween costumes? I swear, nowadays, majority of the costumes I see are waaaaaay to sexy. And not scary sexy, like a Jennifer’s Body scary sexy, but just so sexual you would wonder if it was a Halloween costume, or just an outfit that a stripper would where for a Halloween pole routine. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love some of these outfits. The tight bodice, the tights, the pantyhose, the whole nine yards you know. I lose my mind over a sexy cop with a slight open shirt, daisy duke shorts, a police hat, a face beat with makeup, and handcuffs dangling from the wrist. And don’t get me started on a sexy nurse. Whoo. Not a huge fan of needles, but if my nurse looked like that, here’s my arm. Oh my god, y’all...a sexy witch...you can cast a spell on me anytime.  



Where was I going with this again? Oh, yeah, not-so-scary-costumes.  


Anyway, I miss scary costumes. Nobody seems to want to do them anymore and that sucks. Where are the fully decked-out vampires with the sunken eyes, the plastic pointed teeth, and the dark gothic clothing? The clowns with the smudged makeup, with blood drooling from the theirs mouths, and dirt splattered clothing? The Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Chucky, hell, even the creepy twins from the Shining! Let's bring back scary costumes, please. I’m not saying don’t get rid of the sexy costumes (please dear God don’t let those go away), but let's not be afraid to get really spooky. Who cares if little children get traumatized. They’re already traumatized from the world we live in, what will make this any different?  



We need to get back to the true meaning of Halloween. Celebrating all things scary. Dawning our truly horrifying costumes, going out into the world (neighborhoods) and scaring the hell out of each other...and then get free candy. And not all costumes have to be scary, I guess. As long as it's just that, a costume, not an attire one would hope their significant other would wear in the bedroom after they finish enjoying the spooky outcomes of Halloween (did I just discover a fantasy?). Now that’s away to end that holiday...well that and watching Hocus Pocus before midnight, but I digress. Hell, an Alice in Wonderland costume , a Beyonce costume, a Harry Potter costume, or even a goth teen costume. Anything really. I myself am going as a DIY Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. But still, let’s not let scary costumes go out of style, but at the same time let's not get rid of sexy costumes. Just don’t make them the go too, you know?  



Hope everyone has a spooktacular Halloween. I will have a Halloween Kills review as well as a Halloween/Boogeyman article out soon. Happy Halloween!

Ok, Can We Please Talk About Cal Jacobs From "Euphoria?"

                                                                                     Sweet Jesus, I'm so happy that I got into the show Euphoria when I did because this show is hitting different in ways I never thought possible. Now, you should know that I love me a good backstory for a character, particularly the sort of "villain/bad person" characters. So when episode three of Euphoria season 2 came out, the first 20 or so minutes literally had me broken. I never thought these words would leave my lips but oh my God, I feel bad for Cal. Now, before y'all go off and start canceling me let me just say this: I'm not stanning Cal, nor do I think that what happened to him in his past makes up for what he has done now in the present, but I'm kind of looking at this from a so...

New City, New Killer! Scream 6 Review

After seeing Scream 6 a second time, I can give my overall thoughts on the film. It is probably my new favorite out of all the Scream films, a spot initially held by Scream 5. This new movie was absolutely nuts, but that's what made it enjoyable. The characters were pretty good. The Core Four was satisfying in every scene they were in, the breakouts being once again Sam and Tara. The new people were okay and bearable, but Gale continued to steal every scene and bring badass energy (though I didn't like how they backtracked her character development from previous films for the first half of the film). My favorite from the film was Tara. And Kirby's return? *Chef's kiss* I almost cried when I thought she had died in Scream 4, but because the film gods are good, they brought her back for another round! I love the change of scenery from the small town of Woodsboro to New York City. Having the characters fight Ghostface in a city known for crazy crime and f...
