Hollowed Pumpkin season just ahead: you’d better suit up!
After promising a friend I’d help get a pumpkin for the upcoming halloween, I was looking around for one such gourd (during my excursion to the country, mind you), but all I could find was this horribly deformed specimen:
Needless to say, I was very much impressed with its gruesome shape and natural eeriness, so it didn’t take long until my vivid imagination got set into high gear. So I was wondering… would there be a better halloween custome than a horribly distorted pumpkin? After looking around some Halloween Costume Stores, I’m happy to say that … well, actually there are several options more interesting than being an antropomorphic pumpkin – but who cares about that anyway?
If I was planning to get dressed this halloween (which I’m not – since I usually think it’s more interesting to just make fun of inept dress-ups), I’m almost certain I’d grab an ugly pumpkin such as the one depicted above, and try to pass off as Merv Pumpkinhead, that lovely/hateful castlekeeper from the Sandman Universe. I think I’d have no trouble at all getting in character, so I might as well keep that ugly pumpkin close by in case I someone eventually succeeds in getting me sufficiently drunk convinced to actually go for a last-hour costume.
How about yourself? Do you usually indulge the halloween dress-up tradition? Are you planning on doing something special this year? Got some interesting photos to share? Come on now, don’t be a stranger tell us all about your plans!
