Pictured above are Curtis and Valerie at this evening's Halloween party.
Prior to that, we went to a screening of Murnau's Nosferatu, also with a live score. Rather than an entire orchestra, however, the music this time was provided by a three piece band, whose improvised accompaniments ranged from entirely tasteless to palatable to somewhat serviceable. I wish I had brough my iPod so I could pick out some more suitable score to go along with the film, which nonetheless was strong enough (of course) to hold its own against the musical affrontery.
As soon as it was over, I drove home and put on my costume.
For the past few years, I've just been content going out as a blanched and/or bleeding revenant, but this season I was determined to make more of the opportunity. Up until the other day, I'd been growing a beard with the intention of shaving it into a horsehoe and dressing up as a cowboy or something. Then I found my sister's homecoming dress and changed my mind.
Tomorrow, Halloween proper, will probably be relatively quiet. More films will be viewed, company will be shared, that video will be uploaded, candy will be passed out - and I have to finish giving a lecture in my literature class, which is scary enough in its own right.
