Hey folks, Happy Halloween Weekend. Now, I don't know what you have planned for the weekend, but I'm in full gear for the LUCIO FULCI FILM FESTIVAL here in Austin. The last two days, I've been at the Alamo Drafthouse in full zombie regalia celebrating this master of the undead arts...
I mean, where the hell else are you going to find the soundtrack for CANNIBAL FEROX and ZOMBIE? Heh... For those of you that want to try a bit of the above... Just buy a bottle of $1.50 liquid latex, three squares of toilet paper and about $25 of Max Factor makeup... Do a base of latex... adding single squares of toilet paper over the latex... then apply more latex covering all the toilet paper. Avoid your facial hair lest you have agonizing death screams later in the night. Then, apply your base cream... followed by powder... followed by layers of colored powders... Blend... Blend blend blend... You don't need any help... I did this 100% on my own in front of a shitty bathroom mirror. Be patient... Go slow... avoid your eyes... and you'll kick ass.
Meanwhile, I'm preparing my costume for Halloween proper... I'll have pictures up tommorrow from the Halloween Party I'm throwing. If you live in Austin or the surrounding area and want to come... Write me a letter explaining why you should come and I'll be in contact... We'll be showing prints of Karloff's fantastic film, THE BLACK ROOM, the really creepy scary little girl movie, THE BAD SEED... and of course, what friggin 16mm Halloween party would be complete without SON OF FRANKENSTEIN. Plus cartoons, horror and sci-fi trailers.
Party till the worms stop crawling, I say. Happy Halloween, and remember... the great pumpkin only delivers presents to good boils and ghouls...
