Halloween 2010 - Logans on the loose

Venom meets Jason meets The Wolfman meets... a chick in a schoolgirl outfit???

If I didn't have kids, Halloween would be a complete bust for me. I mean, what's the point? A night of the year to workship evil? I work in the film industry, I face evil every day. If I need to know the meaning of the word 'horror', I just have to think back to my first marriage...

Naturally, my brats take a different view. Ryan was off playing soldier this weekend, Taia and Sean are too small to go trick or treating. That left Calvin, as Jason, and Kyle, as The Wolfman. And how about Daddy?, I asked them. "Venom!", they cried in unison. I ascertained that this was the Spiderman character rather than a character description. As it transpired, there was no Venom outfit to be found, so we blended a black Spiderman suit with a Venom t-shirt.

We were joined for our journey to the dark side, by actress Phoenix Valen, who was dressed, disconcertingly, as a schoolgirl. The twins offered to spray her with ketchup; she declined (wimp!). We offered her a skull with glowing head... no deal... Anyway, what's  werewolf without a fair maiden to threaten?

She did try on Kyle's werewolf mask to good effect:

And here's the whole Groovy Ghoulie Gang:

We set forth to strike terror into the hearts of our neighbours...

Not only did Calvin know who Jason is, he and his brothers have actually watched all the films (on Youtube). This disturbs me no end...

No costumed character was safe from blade and fang...

Even old grannies were no spared...

Once we hit Lan Kwai-fong, the cameras flashed as Venom did his thing. It was hot, and I couldn't see for *&^%. How could anyone fight crime in this get up?!?

Further up the street, Jason met an old foe...

And the Spider clan was reunited...

It was getting pretty hot on the street, especially with masks on, so the boys insisted that we head for fridge in the vodka bar. (I find it vaguely disconcerting that they even know where the vodka bar is, let alone that there's a fridge in there...)

After more fun and fearsome encounters, we made our way back to Prince's Terrace, and the end of another happy Halloween!
