October, the month of ghouls and scares…
Oct 1st
Hello Con-Maniacs,
Are you getting ready for a few good scares? What do you like about the leed up too Halloween? When I was little growing up in Australia, no one really celebrated Halloween. My Mum being American we would always try to. Every year she would make me some costume, Vampire, Ghost, Wizard, Darth Vader…It was always great fun. And of course there were no real costumes to by like that so they always had to be handmade. Jack O’Lanterns, always loved them, although the ones I grew up with were green on the outside and hard as rock. They took forever to carve…But still always great fun. A couple of times we tried Trick or Treating, that did not go over too well. People would look at me and ask what the heck was I doing. One woman threatened to call the police…Of course now it is quite big in Australia.
I would love to hear some of your Halloween stories, or perhaps even Cosplay stories. If you want to share your photo’s I know we would all love to see them. You can send them to Magid@raybin.com
