Spookityness

Halloween at Movie World was kind of awesome yesterday. The Movie World people wandering around in spooky costumes were awesome (Spike, Elvira, and the Addams Family were all there,) and the clouds of fog and mist were freaky cool. There was too much light to be really scary, but yeah, what would you expect from a family night at a theme park.

Highlights: after waiting in line for an hour and a half (I do not tell a lie) to go on the Superman Escape ride, getting to the very top of that first huge curve and seeing all of Surfers' laid out like a diamond necklace. Singing along to the Ghostbusters theme song (as performed by Bugs and Daffy, piped in very loud all over the park.) Watching ghostly figures emerge from the mist in the Main Street. Spiderwebs. Children looking adorable in costume, teenage and middle-aged people looking much less adorable in costume, and those terrifying people you really hoped were wearing a costume but you somehow doubted it...

I brought home two mallow-pops, a Batman one and a Superman one. Here they are before I ated them.

Also a Batman plushie. I knew it had been a good night when I woke up the next morning, still clutching my plushie.
