Day 29: Scream Queen

scary?

not scary

Everytime I think of horror movies, I flash back to those cheesy 80's slasher films like the ones with Jason and Freddy - or even worse, killer tomatoes or clowns. I don't get them. I guess I'm too analytical to be scared - like, really, a killer wearing an ugly striped sweater or a murdering Chucky doll don't fool me. Totally un-scary. I once watched "Hellraiser" - you know, the one with the weird guy that looks like a pin cushion. Instead of being terrified, I was reminded of all the sewing I had to catch up on.

Anyway, you know the drill. You're having a sleep over with your teenage friends, wearing flimsy pajamas or see-through lingerie, innocently engaging in a pillow fight - all whilst the masked killer is lurking in the closet. When he jumps out and beheads your friends, you scream incessantly, trip over a leaf and fall down. Even though he's walking in slo-mo and wearing an ill-fitting mask, he still catches you and guts you like a fish. They're all the same - but thankfully we have
just the outfit for you.

On a side note, I just googled images of "80's horror movies" and a picture of the singer Tiffany popped up. I swear I am not making this up. But I digress....

Start with the aforementioned pajamas:





Or, if you're feeling a little more daring, try some lingerie:






Add some slippers, cover yourself in (washable) fake blood and don't forget to fall down a lot.
