hiding in plain sight.
I’ve never been anything scary for Halloween, as long as I can remember. I’ve always been ladybugs, or pumpkins, or a princess, a couple times I was a witch, but not a scary witch, I was a pretty witch. I had a skeleton costume once, but I didn’t wear it on Halloween, I’d walk around my house dressed as a skeleton, trying to run away from the dog, or scare my neighbor in July or something. Despite my love of horror movies and zombies, and dead things, and general creepy shit, I’ve never been anything scary. I spend all the time hiding a monster, so why would I want to be one? I feel like Im kind of missing out. but at the same time, if I put on a scary costume of fake rotting flesh, and torn away faces, and monsters, and crazed people, and whatever, people would just see right through it, and realize it’s not a costume. That Im just as rotten as that costume, and Im just as scary as that monster in your nightmare. So I hide in plain sight. On Halloween I just elaborate.
very interesting.
I’m re-reading about every Green Lantern comic I own (thus explaining my sporadic posting) and with the “holiday” looming, I figure to give my two cents in on this (trust me, it’s very relevant). After I’m done with this ish, of course ;)
Also want to add the scene in Batman Returns which all of Gotham City’s elite are having a big costume ball, and Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle are the only folk that didn’t wear a costume. Goddamn, that’s just gold!
