Everyone at my work has gone nuts today!! Am I the only one??
I swear, there must be a full moon outside (like, RIGHT NOW). We've got witches, old men with bad comb-overs, cats, nuns, pumpkins, pimps, etc. I am truly frightened! People are scaring the shit out of each other, laughing hysterically. Anyone else having to experience this? :D

2. My assistant is dressed as Napoleon Dynamite today.
I'm dressed as "girl who needs to get out of here on time to let the plumber in and then somehow get to the paint store before it closes."

5. My costume is really uninspired.
I'm dressed as "guy who has a mountain of dirty laundry sitting on the floor in his bedroom and just ended up dressing with whatever was clean"

6. Nope - Just cold chilly rain
:scared: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 47 currently

We don't have heat either so lately all I've been experiencing is cold weather.(Anything below 75 is cold to me)

Seems interesting, any ghosts? :)

7. That sucks!
It's raining here too, but not that cold! Sorry!

No ghosts... YET anyway! I love being spooked out though, time for scary movie marathons to start!

I'd love to go someplace "Haunted" this Halloween, there are several places in Arizona. Don't really have any plans for this Sunday, how about you?

on edit: Yikes, don't they have that Bell Witch Cave in TN? :scared:

10. HA! Doing something requires free time and money.
Neither of which I have right now. I start my new job today so I'm going to have even LESS time (and I'm scheduled on Sunday). So I'll probably sit at home, curl up, and watch some scary movies. You should go somewhere haunted! That would be cool!

I think they do? Not sure?

12. Yup Adams, Tennessee
http://www.prairieghosts.com/b-cave.html

Never been but the place seems spooky. The closest haunted place is "The Lost Dutchman SP", appearently several people have "disappeared" while trying to find the Lost Dutchman's Gold. I've been there before and would like to go again but finding transportation over there is difficult.

Hmmm. So what scary movies do you enjoy watching?

13. Awesome!
Any kind! I have this whole stupid reoccuring nightmare about Michael Meyers and Freddy K. so those movies are probably my favorites to watch. :) What about you?

17. Interesting
I like the type that have twists, stuff like you have no idea wth is going on til the movie hits it's climax. Like the 6th Sense but more scary. I also like it when movie's don't reveal the monster(or bad thing) like in the Blair Witch, Something about that movie spooked me. I rarely get the feeling when watching a movie but i guess it had something to with the people in the middle of the woods(Forests can spook me at times) and you never actually got to see the witch. Don't like too much gore though, if I want gore I'll just rent "Dead/Alive"(by far the gorest movie EVER!)

19. Ok - Interesting plot
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 08:51 AM by Champ
A poisonous "rat monkey" is taken from a Desert Island to a zoo. A boy's mother gets bit by it then gets sick and dies, she comes back to life killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbor, etc. turning them into Zombies. That's the basic plot.
Really gross, by far the bloodiest, goriest movie I ever seen.

Um, I say the third one was the funniest! :D
Actually probaly 'The Shining', 'Thinner' was good also, 'It' was funny.

Thinner scared the crap out of me! Actually, kinda just freaked me out, not so much scary. Any other ones?

25. Good choice
The Rat Monkey alone was enough to make me puke.(First time I watched I puked 3 times) Let's see I mentioned "Blair Witch", don't watch too many horrors, I guess the latest I've seen was "The Others" "Darkness Falls" and "Freddy vs Jason" which were alright movies, liked Darkness Falls. The one I really want to see is "Psycho" I seen many sites rate that as the best horror/thriller movie of all time.

26. Psycho is a must!
There's no scary movie collection complete without it! The remake wasn't bad either!

Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 09:05 AM by Champ
What's it about? I'm assuming it has something to do with someone you could call a "psycho".

11. I am so ticked off at work
I brought in muffins in an attempt to be the friendly coworker who brings baked goods to share (a role I have never played). And wouldn't you know it, someone else happened to bring fancy pastries from a French bakery this morning. So my comparatively feeble offering gets pushed aside like chopped liver. I try to do something good for once and this is what happens!

WORK WITH ME PEOPLE!!! :mad:

14. Awww! I'll eat the muffin!!
I wish someone in our office would be that nice! They have some things over in the other part but yeah, they've pretty much eaten them all by now.

I'm sorry they don't appreciate you, but look at it this way, YOU can eat the muffins. Eff their stupid pastries!! :hug:

23. I love muffins! Muffins=wholesome goodness. On the up side, you
must work with a fellow Democrat (i.e. "french" pastries). See? There is a bright side to this. :hi:

I work in the arts, and in NYC, so it's pretty much a Freeper-free zone. :)

20. We in my accounting department have a red sox hangover right now.
And I just had a political discussion with the secretaries down stairs. No actual work being done though. My boss just left to find Red Sox world series gear at local stores! Noone really working except for the woman in the purchasing department.
