Halloween 2015

 I love Halloween.
 It is the one day of the year I can "get my freak on" and dance like Jim Carrey in public. I went as an "el dia de los muertos" (day of the dead) character. My husband bought a dime store costume made for a kid that actually fit him pretty well.

 We took the train from Ipswich to Salem on Halloween night. It was a total freak show on the train with everyone dressed in costume. I love it!
Some of the costumes were amazing. I met up with a group all dressed as psycho clowns. Even though clowns give me the creeps.

I had to have my pic taken with "Chappie" (from the movie Chappie) Like I said some of the costumes were amazing. There were a group dressed like the "ghost busters", one guy dressed as a hand giving the middle finger", a guy dressed and looked exactly like Mendez "porn stash' from "Orange is the new Black", there were lots of anime characters, robots,ghouls, pirates, monsters and of course, sexy police and witches. There were characters with elaborate props like a Frankenstein on an electric chair. Most people there dressed up. If you didn't dress up you kind of looked like a jerk.

  Here I am waiting at the train station. Nothing unusual here!

I met a scary Pope in front of a pyschic reading shop. The Pope (both evil and good ones) was a popular choice this year for costumes.
I found a centipede on  my travels. (for Robo!)

Here is some of the unusual costumes. These guys were jelly fish.
Oh I did see a lot of sharks too walking around.
 On the train ride back we unfortunately seated ourselves next to a drunk dressed as bacon. Yes, a slice of bacon.He was pretty  obnoxious. He kept yelling, "baaccccon! baCON! BAAAAAcon! Who wants a slice of f*cking bacon!" We ended up moving because he was not only irritating but he smelled like a dirty ass.
We stopped to eat at a Thai restaurant in Ipswich when we got back. The restaurant staff seemed delighted we were "dressed up" for the occasion.
Salem is a total blast on Halloween. I hope to do it again next year.
I also wanted to go to the "mourning tea" where you dress in Victorian mourning clothes, have high tea and you bring a photo of a deceased loved with you in their honor. They have a spiritual advisor in attendance at the tea. (My (deceased) Aunt would've loved that!) But unfortunately I got the dates messed up so  I missed that.
Next year I'll plan for that one as well :-)
Great fun!
