An Echo of The Bunnymen (Halloween Costume Repost)

Halloween was yesterday? No, when Halloween comes out on Thursday, then most people celebrate it on Friday. And besides, Halloween isn’t over until I say it is!

from October 17, 2011

Well Halloween is here, and in my book there are two- and only two- classic Halloween costumes.

The first is the classic Superman suit, and shame on DC for changing it.

A close second is the gorilla suit. (Necktie optional.)

Watch any old B-movie and what do you see? A guy in a bad gorilla suit. And that rocks! Gorilla suits are cool. And the worse the better! Want proof? Here are some 1970’s Kung Fu Karate gorillas versus a Bruce Lee wannabe named (heh heh) Bruce Li:

 

This is why I can’t go to Japan. I will be totally unprepared when thin Kung Fu Karate gorillas jump out of a tree and attack me.

I’d love to make that film a Late Night Movie House of Crap but that’s about all of the watchable footage.

See why gorilla suits are cool?

Superman is one, a gorilla is two, so what would number three on the list be? A clown? A guy in drag? A black bunny suit?

Gotta be the black bunny suit. Check it out.

Where to start? I have to start with his picture. That guy totally looks like a guy who’d wear a bunny suit and lurk behind a tree. He’s got that John Astin thing going on.

Who would think that a man in a black bunny suit and a tutu hiding behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun would scare kids? What kind of world are we living in where an obviously normal and well-adjusted man can’t do that without the police being involved? Jeez, this is America, and if a man wants to wear a black bunny suit and a tutu and hide behind a tree while playing pretend sniper at the local kids, who are we to complain? It isn’t like this guy was really hurting- oh Hell, I can’t keep this up.

I’m calling it. This man needs serious help. It is time for him to go on a little “vacation.”

“Falkingham told authorities that he enjoys wearing the suit, but understands the neighbors’ concerns and complaints.”

I for one am glad that the loon is being reasonable about the whole thing.

But as far as I am concerned, and this being my blog I am concerned, this is the only acceptable way of wearing a black bunny suit.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Without a doubt, from when I was just a kid until today, Halloween has been my favorite holiday. Even my birthday comes second. I love everything about it- the costumes, the spooky stories, the ghosts, the ghouls, and the traditions most of all. And in my book, there is no tradition better than It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Linus in the pumpkin patch, Charlie Brown getting nothing but rocks, Snoopy’s World War I adventure, and the ending with Sally’s righteous indignation. If you are reading this on Halloween, make sure you see it! ABC is airing it tonight!

This particular post is a joy for me because in addition to an old tradition, it incorporates a new tradition. For the second year in a row, I’ve gone to Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns at Old Westbury Gardens and this year, to my delight, there was the perfect pumpkin for me to bring you tonight. I present, the It’s the Great Pumpkin pumpkin.
