Thriller Night

Happy Halloween! It was great being able to celebrate it instead of picturing what it would be like in the books. In any case, I was not expecting trick-or-treats. The celebration started the day before, when we got ourselves some pumpkins and had them carved. The results were terrific. Don't they seem to stare straight through you?

Boo! Halloween Pumpkins!

We decided to have our own little flat party, with proper dress-ups. Mine was really last minute. All I did was put on a jacket, borrowed a convenient witch's hat and cape that two flatmates had and voila! That aside, there's a devil, an angel, a zombie school girl, dead guy, killed assassin and creepy masked man. That's not the whole of our flat so I'll give a proper introduction another time.

Dressing up!

Our initial plan was to pay a visit to the flat downstairs but decided after a while that it'll be just as fun celebrating it in our kitchen. There's the pumpkins, the music from the laptop, food and drinks. Well, most of the food was candy.

One of my flatmates said that the night seemed surreal. I've got to agree with that although it was scarily so. That's besides the fact that we were dressed up to look like characters from fantasy. And the fact that we mimicked a puppet video from Youtube. It could be because we went visiting other flats and had people visiting us.

Oh, and a smart cat found the right flat to gain pity from. It was curious how it just turned up out of nowhere. No pets are allowed, so we let it go after feeding Samantha (as was named) some ham and milk. She was curiously clean and pretty, with a pair of green eyes. And she was black. Adds to the Halloween chill, doesn't it? A thriller night it was.

Today we didn't do much until dinner time. We ordered take-away (pizza this time) as we normally do on Sundays and had them while watching a science fiction horror movie, 'Event Horizon'. I realised that I must have watched a  part of it before. Somewhere in my memory I remembered a scene where the (mad) scientist told them about his ship that can teleport. Chilly. Thriller night it was.

PS. One of my flatmates proposed that someone could be sleepwalking because the kitchen was in a mess this morning. Most believe someone had one glass too much. Oh well.
