This post is nothing to do with love or romance. It’s all about horror. Today I’m going to write today about people I’d invite to my Halloween party. Yes, I know it’s a long way away but I love that time of year – even though here in England it’s probably not as widely celebrated as elsewhere. There’s something about being scared to death, about pooping the proverbial pants when someone jumps out and screams at you and you have instant tummy dump…
This is a great article with wonderful pictures about how things differ from the US to the UK. It’s a bit of an old one but the sentiments are about the same.
I also loved this Huffington Post article on how the US had ruined Halloween for the Brits…

But now to business. Who would I invite to my lavish and no holds barred Halloween party ? Take a look below..
Candyman – I mean, honestly, which one of you has the guts to stand in front of a mirror and say ‘Candyman’ three times? I certainly won’t be doing that anytime soon just in case. But he’d certainly be a great addition to any horror party and that hook of his would come in useful for opening tins.
Damien Thorn – every party needs a creepy kid and Damien certainly fits the bill. Being the anti-Christ, he might put a bit of a downer on the event when he starts killing everyone off because they looked at him wrong, but every party needs a bouncer to start cleaning out the riff raff.
The Reaper/Creeper -that demonic figure from Jeepers Creepers. He was chilling to watch and no respecter of body parts. But he could clean up after Damien and make sure he had fresh body parts to use for himself. So he’d be a great addition.
Pinhead would also be on the list. Bondage, demons, pain, torture-what’s not to like about this particular guest ? And those pins he has on his body would come in very handy as tooth picks. Sort of a human pin cushion on demand…
John Doe from Se7en -creepy, sociopathic, quiet and unassuming, but oh so damned effective at killing and turning the tables. ‘What’s in the Box’ could become a new party game.
“Hey, dude, what’s in the box?” Stunned silence. “Oh my God, is that my damn boyfriend in there? Couldn’t you at least have given me the bottom half?”
So that’s my list of invited guests for my future Halloween party. Feel free to accept the invites I’ll be sending out later in the year. But you can decline if the guest list isn’t quite to your liking. I won’t be offended, although I may send one of the intended guests around to your house to see if I can get you to change your mind…
Oh and if you want to check out some truly incredible photography of old and abandoned places, beautiful and creepy at the same time in keeping with this horror theme we have going here today, then take a look at world renowned photographer Andre Govia. The man is a genius at capturing images that time appears to have forgotten.
I saw Candyman about 15yrs ago and it still freaks me the hell out. Sometimes I’ll be in the bathroom, glance in the mirror and think Candyman, and I have to get out of there. Always better to be safe than sorry, you know.
I agree with the safe not sorry comment. He was really scary. Thanks for popping by!
