Happy Halloween!
I know I don't post as much as I used to, but I couldn't let October 31st go by without saying a little something about the first chapter in what I call "The Awesome Holiday Trilogy." It would be wrong of me not to.
I enjoy Halloween so much, I can barely put it into words. I've never gone all out with costumes or decorations or things like that. I don't think I've worn a Halloween costume since I was 12 or 13. But it's a holiday that I cannot help but absolutely love. Between the horror movies and the general wackiness and shenanigans, being a fan of Halloween is practically encoded into my DNA.
Unfortunately, since my social circle is limited to the point of nonexistence, I've only once had the opportunity to go out and do anything for Halloween with friends. It breaks my heart to go every Halloween without having the same kind of fun everyone else is having. It gets lonely, you know? But for 2010, I decided that I had to go my own way and find Halloween fun for myself instead of letting it find me.
So just what did I do? I did the only thing I could do: I went to my third midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in as many months. I didn't have anyone to tag along with me, sadly, but being surrounded by a sell-out crowd of 800 loonies who were having as much fun as I was totally made up for it. Plus it was the Halloween show, meaning that the cast putting it on was pulling out all the stops. The virgin initiation was crazier than what I'd seen previously, there was a costume contest, and a group of zombies even ran up on stage and danced to Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
Really, I cannot recommend the shows enough. If you're ever in the Lexington, Kentucky area on the last weekend of the month (except this coming December, anyway), you really should attend one of the Rocky Horror screenings at the Kentucky Theater. I'm not getting paid to say this or anything; this is just someone who wants to share in the fun. Take it from me: unless you have a stick crammed so far up your ass you wouldn't know fun if it smacked you upside the head, you'll have a blast.
I know I had a ton of fun. I'll probably even go back next month, just for one more ride on the RHPS Express. And now that I think about it, I'm kinda sad that I didn't have an actual review of the movie itself ready to post over at the S@TM blog today. I'm a little ashamed of myself. Maybe I should slap something together, or at least try.
In any event, have a safe and happy Halloween, and I'll see you later.
