The Post-Halloween… Post.
Man... I'm still recovering from Halloween. The annual West Hollywood Costume Carnival was just too much fun as expected and I wish it could've gone on for another 24 hours. My pal Tyler and I dressed up as Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, complete with giant heads and arm extensions, and the costumes were an absolute hit. We couldn't take five steps without being absolutely mobbed by everybody on the street. There were well over 250,000 people there that night, and I feel like just about every single one of them asked us to stop and take a photo with 'em. Re even saw some woman run up to me and pinch my ass. Yeah baby... the ladies love Voorhees. Every now and then, we would stop taking photos with people and have a real live Freddy vs. Jason battle right there in the streets. Of course, when you're hurling giant arm extensions at each other while wearing big masks that render you nearly blind, it's hard to pull off the same acrobatics seen in the FvJ movie.
On top of all o' that commotion, the local ABC news station apparently liked our costumes a lot as well, because they pulled us aside and conducted a little interview. Fortunately, we found the video on their web site and one of our site members was nice enough to capture it for us (thanks Tadao!). Take a look after the jump:
I was really happy to see they included my little eHarmony joke in their coverage... good times! It really was a blast hanging out with our friends all night and taking a bajillion photos... this is definitely a Halloween I'll remember for a long time to come. I hope all of you had a great time wherever you were and whatever you were doing. And to those of you who've never been to the West Hollywood Costume Carnival, you really should make plans to do so. It's the largest Halloween celebration in the country and you'll see more amazing costumes in one night than you've seen in your entire life. So yeah... start making plans to attend in 2009.
On a final note, I know some of you were missing our annual "Select Your Destiny" and "Count Pop" stories, so allow me to explain what happened with those. First off, as mentioned earlier in the season, Max Burbank's father passed away and he was unable to do his annual Scary-Ass Trading Cards set. Well, our annual "Select Your Destiny" story is always a collaborative effort between myself, Max, Dr. Boogie and Protoclown and it simply wouldn't feel right without having Max be a part of it. We really have a blast playing off of each other's unique writing styles, so we decided to postpone the story. We were almost halfway through writing it when Max received the bad news, so we'll either finish the story later this year or have an extra-long one come Halloween 2009.
As for Count Pop, several things (and participants) fell through the weekend I was planning to do the new story, so I opted not to do one at all because the ol' Popster deserves something better than a half-assed effort. If there's one thing I've never done on this site, it's try to rush through an article, especially something like Count Pop which is one of my absolute favorite things to do. He deserves better than that and so do you. Quality over quantity. That being said, I may try to bring Count Pop back over the holidays this year if I get a good idea for a piece. I'm not making any promises, but I think it could be fun seeing him out of season. We'll see what happens...
Anywho, we've actually got a big "was-supposed-to-be-finished-by-Halloween" article about the ultra-cheesefest "Leprechaun" coming later this week, so if you're a fan of that flick you'll definitely wanna check out our feature on it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go figure out where the hell I can store these two huge Freddy & Jason costumes.
p.s.: Other than being a nice buffer between Halloween and Christmas, what good is November for anyway? I'm not really into Thanksgiving, although I will partake in some turducken once again if the opportunity strikes.
p.p.s.: in exchange for capturing that video for me and donating trillions of dollars to the web site, I promised Tadao I would make him a lil' movie involving a bunny, per his request. It clearly took me an eternity to make, so you had damn well better worship it. Here it is:

The eHarmony thing is pretty hilarious, and those costumes are pretty sweet. Man, it sucks living in Ohio, we have next to nothing going on around Halloween.
ozziehorror on 11/04/2008 4:06 am
awesome as rog nice work love the costumes
Kyle Harkes (Guest) on 11/04/2008 8:16 am
Halloween was awesome in Toronto. I think I was the only Ghost Rider on all of Church Street. Good times.

It's great you had a blast RoG.
Here in St. John's Newfoundland, we celebrate Mardegras for Halloween, it's like about a week long, and it's actually a suprise when you see a drunk Hulk trying to pick a fight with Duff-Man
Kat (Guest) on 11/04/2008 8:51 am
I hate living in Ohio too.
No oppertunities. I try to get out there when something happens, but nothing ever does.

And I thought that the masses at Barrio Antiguo on Halloween night were bad enough... I mean you could barely walk. Now I look at this and my eyeballs have fallen out of their orbits.
Now a question:
Was the guy singing on stage (3:25) supposed to be Rembrandt from The Warriors?
Darkfloyd on 11/04/2008 9:34 am
Very cool RoG.
Poop On A Stick (Guest) on 11/04/2008 12:42 pm
eHarmony... damn that was funny!
Tadao on 11/04/2008 3:16 pm
One day my bunny army will destroy you all.
Adoring Fan (Guest) on 11/04/2008 3:48 pm
I lol'd.

*Looks forward to 'Count Pop's Christmas Special'*
10,000 Volt Ghost on 11/04/2008 5:57 pm
That's money well spent right there.
My birthday is in November which everyone must celebrate!
Cat (Guest) on 11/04/2008 6:23 pm
I can't wait for your Leprechaun bit. I love number 4.
Nick on 11/04/2008 6:31 pm
Man, that Halloween party is absolutely awesome. I makes me wish I lived on the west coast. :(
NCHammer326 on 11/04/2008 6:47 pm
Remember, remember, the fith of November.
Dungeonbrownies on 11/04/2008 8:42 pm
yea, i love my state
Fear N Loathing on 11/04/2008 10:48 pm
Great Costumes RoG. Good to see the ole creativity. About Count Pop: How about a "Nighmare B4 Christmas" kind of Jack Skellington ripoff, except with the the Count and his Groovy Ghouls being in SoCal... I mean the possibilities are endless... Confusion over the time of year, bevvies of hotties on Venice Beach and Sanata kicking the Counts ass... just a few suggestions
Fear N Loathing on 11/04/2008 10:49 pm
whoa... forgive the spelling... this after a liter of bourbon and some atropine...
Max Burbank on 11/05/2008 8:35 am
That bunny movie deserves a God Damn Oscar. And Kudos to you sir, and Proto and Boogie. You are heroes. Gay heroes to be sure, but heroes none the less.
No offense, my queer brothers.
Silver on 11/05/2008 9:00 am
And I was about to ask...
How come bunnies are liked this much lately?
Ruinne on 11/05/2008 4:49 pm
"Because bunnies are ferocious maneaters, duh."
Ferrit on 11/05/2008 7:16 pm
Good to see you back Max :)
Kato (Guest) on 11/05/2008 10:35 pm
Thanks for posting your blog comments ROG. It definitely felt like there were well over 250K people there. I have plenty of good footage and interviews from the event posted if you're interested in watching it on Youtube. Thanks and glad you had a fun time. It rocked!!!

My apologies as i'm new to this. This is the right link to my West Hollywood video. Please ignore or delete my last two posts with incorrect links. Thanks.

haha, if i had been watchin that i definately wouldve suspected that was your voice/joke. great stuff. sucks bout no pop thats probably one of my favorite things on this site. and i totally agree about november. Somewhere between the "oh no its over" depression of halloween and the "oh god here it comes" depression of xmas, i kill myself every november only to be ressurected through the power of lumpy thanksgiving mashed tatoes.
Jigby Huggletinks on 11/09/2008 10:24 am
Maxwell Demon, the correct phrase, as said by Uncle Phil, is "Pillowy Mounds of Mashed Potatoes".
The event looks like fun, although I feel picky enough to point out that eHarmony doesn't do same sex matches.
Demon Of Gray Street (Guest) on 11/09/2008 12:53 pm
True, but Jason only created the account for his mother's severed head and got confused as he filled out the ninety two page survey.

Jigby, yeah, that was part of the joke. If there's one thing that eHarmony would have nothing to do with, it's West Hollywood.

This is my West Hollywood highlights video which showcases 7 hours of raw footage into a 10 min movie. Thanks for letting me share this -RoG-
