My Halloween Decor Winner

Friday, November 7th, 2008

The thing about Halloween landing on a Friday this year is that it gave people the excuse to make it a weekend long event. For some, face painting and sugar-highs started as early as Thursday.

I’ve written in the past about how I’m not a huge Halloween fan. I created a cop-out excuse last year about how ‘every night in New York is Halloween’ (it’s true, every night you can wear anything you want) and ‘going out is hard enough without specific wardrobe requirements.’ These excuses, while nicely crafted, are lame.

The truth: Horror movies make me cry. I get scared easily. I still have horrific memories of supposedly fun haunted houses terrifying me into months of insomnia as a child. I just don’t like dressing up. I really like things to pretty all the time. I’m anal about my skin and can’t imagine putting yucky face paint on it. I so hate being scared myself I can’t even fathom dressing up as something spooky and scaring others.

In short, I’m a Halloween loser. But this doesn’t mean I didn’t go out to do a full investigation of Halloween events taking place in the city all weekend long. I realize Halloween is over, we admired the costumes and hopefully ate a year’s worth of candy corn, but before everyone forgets about Halloween completely and refocuses 110% on their idle mind time on New Years, I wanted to put in my quick two cents on the club with the best Halloween decorations.

And my winner is…

MANSION!

Photo proof below:

That ghost hornet (ghost hornet?!) seriously looks like it’s airborne and about to impale us. I also like the ivy and autumn leaves they have going on here. It actually gives Mansion class.


This ivy and spiderwebs looks real! OK, just the ivy does. But I’m still impressed.


GAAAA! Again, excellent color palette. And the club lights in the background make the place look like an insane asylum.


These chains are HOT!

You can never go wrong with Teletubbies / Trolls…


I want to make this face of shock and disgust all the time when I go out. Inappropriate? Yes.


OK, she wins in the creativity category.


These two groups of friends mastered the art of Halloween coordination:
