Halloween Gathering '07

Well, my 4th Annual Halloween Gathering took place this past Saturday evening and it was a resounding success! In fact, it was the biggest crowd we've ever had with 21 guests attending. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time even though a few had to leave a bit early and everyone really got into the spirit of it, with nearly everyone arriving in costume. Without question the award for Best Costume Stunt of the evening goes to Ronn Smith and Tammy Lowers. Ronn arrived dressed as Dr. Who #3(Jon Pertwee)...but halfway through the evening he slipped away and regenerated into Dr. Who #4 (Tom Baker) without anyone having noticed. It was Tammy's idea for him to do this and both costumes and stunt were executed beautifully. We had various readings from Poe, Dracula, WV Ghost Stories, and Sam managed to totally offend one couple with his reading of the politically incorrect Godzilla's Twelve-Step Program. Good job, Sam, the evening wouldn't be complete without someone being offended or disgusted by something. The music segment went especially well with the playing of selections from Interview with the Vampire, Close Encounters, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Legend. We then watched some scenes from An American Werewolf in London, John Carpenter's The Thing, and Fantasia. Below are some images from the evening...and thanks to everyone who attended and especially to those who helped in cleaning up the next day. Happy Halloween!
