Trunk Or Treat


At my church's first annual Trunk Or Treat, participants handed out candy and goodies to Trick (or Trunk) or Treaters who went from car to car. I had the help of my trusty 1974 Gran Torino, Amanda as Amand-O the Clown, my buddy James as "Hutch," and Vickie and Scott Sebring.




The adorable Amand-O the Clown braces for the throng of kids.



One of the participants loaned me his badge to make my Starsky costume look more official. Scott Sebring (wearing an ORIGINAL Merrill Osmond costume) can't believe his eyes.



It's Tigger!


As the night wore on, we all started glowing a little more, thanks to Mike Schrimmer and the folks at Windy City Novelties in Chicago!



A few Trunk or Treaters show off their costumes and enjoy the free glow sticks!






Booray for Hollyweird


The Booray for Hollyweird party starts as Bela Lugosi's Dracula watches over the glowing clan of costumed crazies!


The Graveyard of Groove looks awesome, thanks to J. and Cathy Schwartz of Entertainment Contractor.


In my second costume of the night, I become "The Dude" from "The Big Lebowski."


I don't think I want the kind of presents THIS Santa would give out!


A few of our celebrity guests included Chuck McCann (wearing his ORIGINAL costume from "Far Out Space Nuts") and director/producer Don Glut.


Doctors Who?


Would you believe this is actually MOTHER and son, and not father and son?


My assistant Sara with "Uncle Chuckie."


The 70's was a BIG theme at the party!


Here's Lisa and Chad as the KISS duo. They decided to "kiss and make-up!"


My neighbors! Though thankfully they don't always look like that!


Sara, Edi and I guard the door so the lunatics won't escape the asylum!


Another surprise celebrity guest! The hilarious Judy Tenuta!


Sara finds Indiana Jones! That's some archaeological find!


I know what you're thinking and the answer is YES! (The lady on the right IS dressed up as a chess piece!)

Legendary character actor Irwin Keyes haunts the party as an ominous vision of doom! (With a light-up Michael Jackson glove courtesy of Windy City Novelties, Chicago...yeah yeah yeah)


Chad and I get hassled by Bethalyn of the Grammer Police. But we assured her we were using "their," "there," and "they're" in the proper contexts.


The Frightful Five!


My pal Chris Malmin gets busted (pun DEFINITELY intended) by the Grammer Police.

My pal Alex's mom Penny flew in from Arizona for the party, and my pal Mike, from Windy City Novelties, flew in from Chicago for the party! Great guests!



If Mary Marvel and Thor had a fight, who would win?

Randall Carver, as a hunter disguised as a pheasant, discuss how delicious the pizza is with Amand-O the Clown and Gil Christner!


The hamburger/hot dog chef is a busy man as his goodies were highly in demand!


We had it all! Turtles, Fred Flintstone, a Vampiress, and a Secret Service agent!


As you can tell, the variety of novelties given to the guests was astounding!


A couple of young partiers bind themselves together with gloware!




The contestants in the costume contest line up in front of the Graveyard of Groove to be judged.


The Grand Prize for Best-In-Show included a DVD of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," a light-up hula hoop (courtesy of...ya know), and a signed copy of Paul Michael Glaser's new book "Chrystallia and the Source of Light."


And the winner is TIGGER!


Paul and Misty Dini



On Halloween night, my assistant Sara and I were guests of Paul and Misty Dini. Their house was decorated up in an "Arkham City" theme to help celebrate the recent release of Paul's latest videogame masterpiece! Of course the Clown Prince of Crime was there to welcome all celebrants...


Sara, as the 1966 Catwoman, is flanked by the Joker and Harley Quinn.
