You can see pictures from our Halloween 2008 party in these two albums…

Also, if you’d like to order pictures from Josh Jones, the professional photographer who was there that night and did a GREAT job, you can do so by going to this web site. The password is “villain”.

Dear Neil Patrick Harris, Joss Whedon, or anyone else involved in the brilliant Dr. Horrible films online… we want you to know that YOU are invited to our Halloween party this year!

The theme is “Villains” and, Neil, if you make it then we would be glad to rearrange our schedule of the night’s events to fit you (a.k.a. Dr. Horrible) in as a keynote speaker.

Your room, board, and food could all be taken care of while you’re in Springfield, MO.  And, since the party is on the 18th of October you should be free from all other obligations both contractual and familial.  (I’m guessing of course.)

So, please oh please come!  We’re not ones to beg, but saying please twice with an “oh” between it hardly qualifies as begging.

You can contact through the Halloween page form… of course we’ll have to verify its you, and not Patrick Neil Harrison.  We do NOT want him at the party.  Fuzz ball.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
P.S. Plus we live in Albuquerque now… I mean come on.

If you’ve not gotten an email from us yet, and haven’t noticed the new link at the top of our site, then I want to point you all to the page for our 2008 Halloween party.

The theme this year is “Villains” and tickets are only $15. There are going to be a lot of fun surprises and twists, so if you enjoyed last year’s party, or have wanted to come to one of ours before, or just found this website and want to make a trip to Springfield, MO for a family friendly good time, then please, get tickets, start on your costume, and we’ll see you there!

I think I’ve decided to do a “Winged Monkey” for Halloween next year. The parties theme is going to be “A Villains Conference” and I’m touted to be one of the “key note speakers”. I thought doing a monkey who’s trying to take over the world after the demise of his master would be so perfect! So, I’m going to adapt the Planet of the Apes I started 2 years ago to be a Winged Monkey.

My monkey will be a bit different than either the movie or the books, but, will be closer to the movie I’d say. Probably a bluish skinned creature that is very smart and opinionated.

Who knows though? Halloween 2008 is still a ways away and I don’t really need to start working on a costume until April.

My brother Leland sent a link to his pictures from the Hogwarts Halloween party posted on Flickr. They are really good, and there’s some close ups of a few people I know I hadn’t seen yet as well.

Leland came as “the Crystal Wizard” Sy Okzeetoo (Sigh awk-ZEE-two) from the chemical symbol of quartz, SiO2. I thought that was a brilliant name! He even had business cards to hand out!

Yes, I know, I’ve been posting a ton of videos from the TODAY show… but they had such a great Halloween day show that I have to share these!

This one is of the Mel Brook’s new Young Frankenstein Broadway production. The cast was there at Rockefeller Center and did a few numbers, this one got put online… and Celeste and I can’t stop signing (slash yodeling) it.

In case you missed it today, which I’m sure a lot of you did, this morning on the hosts of NBC’s TODAY show dressed at “The Munsters,” and it was incredible!

Here’s a short little clip from the opening (which they also did an excellent job on).

The Munsters” is something I’ve always wanted to dress up as for Halloween, but have never had the correct theme where it would fit. But, when / if I ever do it, this is now the standard by which I would measure myself by!So I just want to say, “Good job NBC staff, make-up, costume and set guys!

Tis the season for spooks and ghouls, and kids and candy, and dressing up, and having parties, and apples, and jack-o-lanterns, black cats, witches, full moons, goblins, midnight runs, and all sorts of other colorful language. So, with all those wonderful words swimming around in my head I thought I’d write a little poem all about Halloween.

An Ode to Halloween
It’s Halloween!
It’s Halloween!
It’s Halloween!
It’s HAL-LO-WEEEEEEEN!!!

I hope you enjoyed it.
