 Clowning around again...

It seems I am a clown again.
I went down to universal last night to find out what house I am going to be in. It turns out, of all things, that I am going to be in ‘PsychoScareapy’ again. I do not know if it was chance, or if I impressed someone last year with my crazy laughs, or if it simply amused them to stick the red-haired guy in a house where they are dressed up like clowns. Regardless, there I am. I was rather impressed I got into one of the ‘big’ houses since I applied so late.
The story behind this house is ‘Psychoscareapy: home for the holidays’. The story is a van full of psychopaths crashes into a house during Christmas time. They go on a rampage through the house murdering everyone. Fun times.
My particular position is “Frosty #1” I am in the backyard of the house, when you leave the house and are about to enter the garage. I am in the backyard next to a snowman possessing a severed human head. I just sort of prance around it and laugh and gibber and sing ‘frosty the snowman songs’. I am a little leery of this position because my bolt-hole is not so well defined. Last year I was nice and safe behind a metal cage. This year I am just sort of out in the open where any drunken ghetto boy who thinks my snowman means I’m disrespecting him can make a stumbling swing at me. So, I’ll have to watch my ass.
The rest of the house is pretty neat, but overall I felt it was more corny-fun than scary.
Incidentally, this year universal gave us a sheet specifically defining what we cannot blog. It was fairly interesting. Its mostly about ticket sales, number of people passing though the house, and basically no talking bad about the people who work at universal. Fair enough. However, this year they are prohibiting photographs backstage. That kind of sucks.
I was sort of shocked at my costume. Last year my outfit was basically a thin cheap hospital smock. It was actually rather comfortable and I did not get too hot in it even though I was sweating up a storm. This year I wear a blue prisoner jumpsuit, and then a green winter sweater, and then a thick winter jacket. I am going to simply melt in that getup. I’ll have to make sure to bring lots of water to keep myself hydrated.
Speaking of water when I was trying on my costume we had to change in the bathroom because the dressing trailers were not open. I took my shirt off and set it in the sink, not realizing the faucet was motion-activated. Much to my annoyance my shirt got soaked, and when I changed out of my costume I had to put on a wet shirt.
If you have never been to Halloween horror nights, I am going to have to say that this is the year to go. My group went on a tour of two other houses, the Freddy house and the Dead Silence house. They were both amazing. A there was a lot of attention to detail put into these houses this year, and there is also going to be more houses than there has been before. Should be a good year.
Meanwhile, I need to change the ‘frosty the snowman’ lyrics into something sick that I can sing. |
