Trick or Treating at the Hospital

I belong to this group of female, horror filmmakers and one of them posted a story about when her son was in the Hospital over Halloween and how bummed he was missing out on trick or treating. That night a group of actors came through in costume and handed out toys for the kids and visited with them and that just made his Halloween.

She told her story to us and challenged everyone to visit the children's hospital in their home town on Halloween. So that's what I did. It was so rewarding, the kids really loved it. I collected lots of donations from local businesses, including a local comic book shop that gave every kid two comic books. It was awesome. So the next time Halloween or another holiday rolls around in your neighborhood, don't forget about the kids stuck in the hospital.

Halloween Party

I had an awesome Halloween party at my house. The winners of the costume contest are below. My good friend George was "Ashevegas" as a casino dealer with the table attached as part of his costume. It was both an awesome costume and a functional game, as everyone at the party took turns playing poker. Mom was a dumb blond who heard there was a costume party and wore a "mask." And I learned how to make sugar glass, which is basically just hard candy. I broke up a sheet of it and stabbed it into red velvet cupcakes with a little red icing for some awesome bloody cupcakes. I love Halloween.
