Costume File: “Do”s and “Don’t”s

by It Came from New York on September 13, 2008

I hate to get attitudinal about such a carefree celebration but can we agree on proper motivation for a holiday inspired by death? Ghouls, monsters, Oprah, witches, werewolves, Republicans, the undead, Cindy McCain, demons– all are a suitable starting point.

One of these photos shows the appropriate approach to Halloween costumes. The other two are indicative of the spiraling downward of our culture as it relates to reality shows, generic, cookie-cutter “hotness” and other generally justifiable reasons the terrorists hate us.

Can you guess which is which?

Are you suggesting the terrorists hate zombies dressed to resembled the characters in the painting “American Gothic”?

I look at it this way…there are 2 types of people.

A. People who dress cute, sexy, funny…they are the ones who get scared.
B. People who dress in something frightening (this doesn’t include a cheesy Scream mask). They are the ones who like to scare people.

To me the only way to go is B!
