I know this is Malaysia, and that the effects of Halloween have been diluted to merely dressing up and going to a Halloween party. But hey, we take whatever we can get, no? Ergo, in the spirit of Halloween, I present to you...
Note of caution: If you're easily spooked or just feel plain uneasy reading about stuff like this, I suggest you skip this entry. Go to the more entertaining ones about movies, etc.
5 Things to Do This Halloween
Take a haunted tour - Follow a couple of 'ghost hunters' through two local tours of places with paranormal activity. Even if the howling bridge turns out to be the work of a homeless dog, this is guaranteed to creep you out loads.
Build your own costume - Who says you need to splurge hundreds on a Halloween costume that you wear only once a year or even waste money renting one? Try making your own instead. What you need: lots of white cloth.
Horror movie marathon - What better way to spend your Halloween night than to throw a Halloween movie marathon to scare yourself silly? Only classics are advised - none of those silly ones like
The Saw saga or even
Scary Movie.
Frighten the neighbours - Go all out and frighten your neighbours with your decorating skills! Spooky back music, mysterious lights and creepy props (think glowing skeletons, plastic spiders, etc) usually work best. Killing your plants to give your house the dead-lawn look helps too!
Telling ghost stories - Overseas, we use to do this in the graveyard, but come to think of it, this wouldn't be advisable in Malaysia. So, why not just do it indoors? Switch off the lights, draw the curtains, light a few candles and you're set to go.
So there you go. Note, however - these are only suggestions; I claim no responsibilities for dead lawns and what-nots come Halloween night. Now if only we have pumpkins (no, I don't mean those puny greenish, oddly-shaped ones - some of those big, orange ones would be nice).
