Scary.

It's Halloween week on TTWF! Why? Because I said it is. Also, look at the calendar, dummy.
If someone asked me to name the scariest movie I've ever seen, I'd have a hard time coming up with an answer. I've seen so many scary movies, and I've been pretty scared by some that aren't even any good. But if someone asked me to name the scariest TV show...that's easy. Twin Peaks.
Twin Peaks didn't just creep me out, it actually scared me. There are a few scenes that really put me over the edge, and almost all of them involve the killer BOB. Sometimes when I'm feeling really freaked out, I have to watch Youtube videos of the actor who played BOB, Frank Silva, to show myself that he was a normal, seemingly happy man. Still though...I watched this scene last night and immediately regretted it. Maybe don't watch it, or maybe do. I honestly have no idea if this is scary outside of the context of the show. I have a feeling that it's a combination of the perspective and the fear I already have of this character.

HOLY MOLY. If you haven't yet seen Twin Peaks, what are you waiting for? It's 2010! You are so behind! The best way to describe it is this: It's like Gilmore Girls and Northern Exposure, but with a murder and really scary and only funny less than half the time. I guess I just mean it's set in a small town. Also, fun fact: Zooey Deschanel's mom, Rashida Jones's mom, and Amber Tamblyn's dad are all in Twin Peaks.

Best Costume

Alex and I are pretty excited about Halloween. Mostly we're excited about our costumes (and seeing other people's costumes). One of us is going as a woodland creature, and one of us is going as the iconic titular character from a beloved 1980's cross dressing film. Basically, we're each being true to our personalities. Chase hasn't yet picked a costume and told me he just wants to get a fake mustache, which means he is also staying true to himself (trying to put in the least amount of time/effort possible). I bet he ends up going as a banana again. There's always money in the banana suit, you guys.
A lot of entertainment websites are doing "Best TV Halloween Costume" lists. Clearly, the list of Best TV Halloween Costumes begins and ends here, with Bill Haverchuck's Bionic Woman costume.

This is simultaneously my favorite (those costumes!) and least favorite (Lindsay reminds me WAY too much of myself in high school) episode of Freaks and Geeks.

It's Halloween Weekend.

I hope everyone has a good one!

This One's For the Brosef

I know Lexie loves Halloween music, but there just isn't enough of it. Luckily for all of us, Ryan Gosling agreed. While he wasn't busy being really classically attractive, he recorded some Halloween music with his band Dead Man's Bones. You can stream some songs on the band's Myspace. They're playing a show in New York on October 15th. Apparently it's already sold out, but I'm sure that someone could find a way in, possibly make out with Ryan Gosling, and then report back on the experience. Let us know if you find a way to make this happen!

Tis the Season

Halloween is just around the corner, and by that, I mean at the end of the month. It's a very exciting time of the year for everyone. I found this weird clip to get you in the mood, and hopefully scare Kerry (it's not hard). I hope you enjoy.

Fartfully yours,

Alex
