Sported my new Myers mask (Cemetery Gate Production's WARLOCK) this Halloween and I'd have to say that I've never felt more like him. People seemed extra unnerved. One child was shouting up from the sidewalk asking Michael Audrey Myers if he was going to kill him. I did the Myers head tilt and his family laughed and screamed. They eventually came up, and I could tell they were really creeped out and uncomfortable. So after handing them candy, and as they were leaving, I stepped out onto the porch (something I rarely do). They definitely weren't expecting that and the mom shrieked. This caused the child, and his family, to run towards the sidewalk. In what seemed like a moment from a Scooby-Doo cartoon, one of the handles on his trick-or-treat bag caught onto the foot of the staked corpse at the entry to the porch. He didn't know what snagged him, but I could tell he thought it was me, as he wasn't looking back. He screamed and left the bag dangling from the corpse's foot. Michael Myers silently removed the bag, straightened the corpse, and looked up. The boy was coming back. I handed him his bag and he whispered "Thank you, Michael" and ran off.
It was one of those incredible Halloween moments that make this holiday so absolutely wonderful.
What a night.
