happy halloween!

until i can spend more time on a proper halloween post, complete w/ old costume photos--if i can find more than 2--here's one of MPL's haunting memories:

1978: dad took me to see halloween in theater. why? because i asked him to. why? because the poster for it was a jack-o-lantern, so i assumed it was a movie about the great pumpkin or something of the like. at least there was a sexual overture... while searching for original HALLOWEEN movie posters, i came across absolutely nothing--NOTHING--that backs up my story. i guess i wanted to see the film b/c i loved fear. the sensation of fear is very interesting. more on that later. in the meantime, here are the 3 main posters for Halloween. which of these convinced my dad that it was an appropriate flick for a 7 1/2 yr old??? :)
