Allow me to present to you the fruits of our labors from the other night: our Five Second Study. Considering that none of us are makeup artists and we didn't really know exactly what we were doing when we set out to make it, we're all pretty pleased with the results, and hope that you enjoy them as well. It was a lot of fun to make (for Curtis and I, at least - although Valerie said it was just as much fun to lay there and watch us freak out every time we looked at her).
(NOTE: I have a feeling that on some monitors, the video clip may be too dark to see; here's an alternate version that is inferior but possibly clearer.)
We hung out again tonight, along with James and Amy, and passed out candy and went for a walk to look at decorations and carved pumpkins and watched the original Todd Browning Dracula with the Phillip Glass/Kronos Quartet score, which I'd already spent most of the day listening to on repeat (also enjoyable was the local classical music station's evening melange of horror movie scores, which covered everything from Hermann to Steiner to Williams to Shore), and also an episode of Alfred Hitchock Presents. Now I'm back home, and am about to watch Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (the awesome 70s version). I have to get some editing done afterwards, but I've got some more horror films that I'll be playing in the background while I work.
And so my favorite holiday has come and gone once again. But it's been a wonderful weekend, and, in the words of the Mayor from The Nightmare Before Christmas: it's only 364 days until next Halloween!
