I was at the Spirit Halloween in the Colonie Center up in Albany a couple of weekends ago. While I was there, one of the workers was going around in a Michael Myers costume. For the older customers, he would sneak around and try to scare them. For the little kids, he was really cool and would try to come down to their level and give fist pounds and make heart-hands. When I first spotted him, he was hiding in a fortune teller booth. I thought he was an animatronic at first! This dude was cool! His name was CJ, and he's well over 6 feet tall (I think he said 6 foot 5 inches. I'd believe it). Even though Michael Myers is only 5 foot 10 inches in the movies, CJ's presence was certainly unmatched. My girlfriend absolutely loved it - Michael Myers is her favorite horror icon. You can see CJ in the video below:

It was sweet.

We typically let our noses guide us daily toward delicious, soothing, or curious smells, while gasps of "ew" lead us away from disgusting or uncomfortable smells. However, THIS smell is crucially important and not one you want to mess around with. I'm totally freaking myself out, and yes, I'm being a bit dramatic for a very good reason after learning this.
