Hiding Out in Sherwood Forest

Jesse as Robin Hood

Our next entry into the Halloween Costume Parade is Jesse. Jesse is going as Robin Hood. But don't be mistaken, Jesse wants to be sure that everyone knows we are talking about the "newer" Robin Hood from the BBC TV Show. Jesse really likes that one and was sad when they canceled the show. As Jesse pointed out, no need for a funny hat. Apparently, the BBC Robin Hood is way cooler. Sheep...who knows?

Anyway, Jesse found out that the sheep are on detail for handing out candy this year to the kids that come to the house. So Jesse of course was very excited to be able to hand out chocolate gold coins to stay in character. Jesse, you are a character. Thanks for joining the parade and sharing your wealth...even if you stole it from Erin.

Jesse's favorite horror movie is Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Yes we tried to explain to Jesse that that wasn't a scary movie. But the sheep insisted that guys in tights are scary. I guess you can't argue with that. At least we can't. Don't believe us? Well take a look for yourself.

I Do

Heart as a Bride.

Heart is a pink pony. She is loved by our little friend Anja. (Anja also watches over Pink Bear...we get the impression that Anja likes pink therapy buddies.) Heart is wearing the costume that Heart says she has "been (forced) to wear on several occasions so that I could be married to William's monkey. To a monkey!!" We feel your pain, Heart. Thanks for sharing and coming to the parade!

Heart's favorite movie Halloween/scary movie is Beetlejuice. Why? Because of the exorcism scenes at the end where they use the wedding dress. (The part where they take over the family and make them dance and sing!)

Come out! Or we'll poke your eyeballs out!

Hawkeye as Makkuro Kurosuke

Hawkeye is dressed as a Makkuro Kurosuke this year for the Halloween Costume Parade. Makkuro Kurosuke (also known as Susuwatari) are the pitch black dust bunnies from the movie Tonari no Totoro - better known as My Neighbor Totoro in the US. Hawkeye, you make a great dust bunny! Thanks for joining the parade!

Hawkeye's favorite scary movie is Scream, because Hawkeye loves to Scream while cheering on the Hawks. We're with you Hawkeye, GO IOWA!

(If your wondering about the title of this entry it is what Satsuki and Mei shout at Makkuro Kurosuke to make him come out. I like it.)

Fairy Dust

Pink Bear as a Fairy

Pink Bear is back, and looking o so fine in her little pink fairy costume. Her favorite part about the costume, you ask? It's pink, of course! We're glad to have Pink Bear back in the parade and hopes she has as much fun being in it as we all have watching it. Thanks Pink Bear!

Pink Bear's favorite Halloween movie is Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie. Scary and adorable, what more could you ask for?

Coming to America

Chris as Lady Liberty

Chris was feeling a little patriotic this year. Thus decided to go as one of the great icons of America, The Statue of Liberty. Chris stands at 11 inches, only 151 feet shorter than the real Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World but with as much heart. Chris enters the parade today on the 124th anniversary of the real statues' dedication. Thanks for joining our parade today Chris and for giving us a walk through the history books.

When Chris isn't holding a torch for America or a torch under D.J. and Jesse, the little sheep is watch a favorite scary movie; The Tale of Sweeney Todd starring Sir Ben Kingsley. Good, classic choice, Chris.

Magic Jolly Mäh

Jolly Mäh as Magician

Our next entry comes all the way from Spain to partake in the festivities. Jolly Mäh, from Raquel's blog Mis peluches Nici, decided to be a Magician, like Harry Potter, for Halloween. He is trying really hard to make a few tricks happen with his crystal ball. What do you think will happen?

Abracadabra

We think he is trying to fill up his pumpkins with candy. Or maybe, Jolly Mäh will get his favorite movie to start playing. Jolly Mäh likes THE EXORCIST! We're scared! If Jolly Mäh conjure up that movie, we're going to go hide in our room until it is over!

The parade will start again, just as soon as we are no longer scared and we crawl out from under our sheets.

You Called, Dum-Dums?

Taylor as The Great Gazoo

The Great Gazoo came all the way the planet Zetox to be in our parade! Well I guess news of the parade has traveled to the farther reaches of the universe...hey, wait a second...that's not Gazoo, that's Taylor. Well, Taylor, you fooled us. Taylor is flying by in a brand new flying saucer. Very aerodynamic. Thanks Taylor for bring a little space age and a little prehistoric times into the parade.

When Taylor isn't flying around in space crafts, the little green fella is enjoying a favorite scary movie; Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Collier's Magazine called it "The Nightmare That Threatens The World!" So it must be scary.
