Halloween Night At The Movie House

Hello future readers!

I hope you all had a super Halloween! I know I did, but at first I wasn't sure it was gonna be fun. The first part was OK. We had a party at school, with a special assembly of one of the dads telling these creepy ghost stories! *shudder* It was pretty scary! Later on we went Trick-or-treating, and I let Kim talk me into going to see a spooky movie with some of our friends.



I really wasn't sure that I wanted to go. Spooky movies aren't my scene, but then again, it might be fun. So we stopped off at my house to get permission and some money. Kim told me that anyone who brought in their candy bucket could get a free drink! Outta site!

This is a picture of our movie house.




When I went grocery shopping with my mom yesterday, we passed it and I noticed the marquee:




"The Monster's Revenge"? Oh man! I was hoping I wouldn't have nightmares for a week! Some of the kids were already waiting outside the movie house for the 7p.m. feature.




A couple of them waved at us as we were crossing the street to come over.



The boys were talking about how they couldn't wait to see this movie. I took a peek at the poster.



A vampire and a monster? Terrific! *rolling my eyes* I was beginning to think that this wasn't such a great idea.

We bought out tickets and went in. Some of us got free drinks, and some of us didn't want to have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie.












So this is pretty much how the movie went. There was this girl named Lena whose car broke down on a little road that was just past a big freeway. She walked to this great big house on a hill. A man came out to help her. It was so dark that she couldn't see that this man was really a vampire!



As the vampire walked with Lena back up to the house, he used to power of his mind to call a monster from a nearby graveyard.




By the time Lena and the vampire got up to the house, the monster was already inside. The vampire wanted to bite her neck, and when she turned into a zombie,  give her to the monster as his bride. But there's one thing they didn't plan on...




Lena knew Karate! She beat up the vampire so bad that the monster ran back to the graveyard and buried himself in the ground, never to come out again. As soon as Lena started karate chopping and kicking, all the girls started cheering, and all the boys started boo-ing! HA-HA!  It also made me feel kinda dumb for being scared of this movie in the first place. I mean, here was this girl and she took on 2 monsters, all by herself! Right on! She wouldn't have been afraid of watching a movie like this. She found a phone and called a tow truck to take her and her car home. Yay Lena!

I actually really liked that movie, especially the end!  It was a pretty dynamite Halloween. I hope yours was just as fun for you!




Until next time, future readers,
Your friend,
Julie Newman

  2. Hi Julie,
    You are a better man than I am, Gunga Din! There's no way I'd be setting foot in a theater to watch a scary movie. I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week!

    1. Well, at least I had my friends around, and my mom at home if I had a bad dream, which I didn't. And I was pretty proud of myself. I didn't duck under the seat once!

  3. Hey Julie,
    I wonder if Lena would be so brave around Three Finger Willy?

    1. Aw, if Lena could take on 2 monsters, then Three Finger Willy would be a piece of cake!

  4. Wow! Lena rocks! That's my kind of monster movie! We kind of like spooky movies, but not the gory, slasher kind. Love your costume, by the way.

    Your theater is awesome for allowing you to bring your own candy. We're not supposed to. I always love getting the popcorn though and raisinettes.

    1. Thanks Melody and Xyra! I don't think any of us like the gory, bloody kind of spooky movies (not even the boys!) And the movie house only let us bring in our own candy on Halloween. I guess they thought they'd get more customers that way.

    2. Good point about getting more customers with the candy bucket incentive. I'd rather go home and sort candy on Halloween than go to a movie, but if I could eat my candy too...The only downside was if I accidentally opened a Mounds or Almond Joy...love those Peter Paul commercials, but not the product. Give me a York peppermint patty any day; I get the sensation. (giggles)

  5. I'm with you, I'm not a fan of scary movies either. This one though--Lena is awesome! Glad to hear it wasn't as scary as you thought it might be.

    1. Yeah, if all spooky movies were groovy like this one, I'd be a big fan!

  6. Happy Halloween (although we're closer to Thanksgiving)! You are so brave, Julie. I wouldn't have gone to see a scary movie on Halloween. I'm glad you had a good time and weren't too scared.

    1. Hi Melodie,

      There are plenty of spooky movies that still scare me, but this wasn't one of them. But I don't know if I'd want to spend my allowance to see another one!

  7. Oooo! I don't like scary movies, you are brave Julie. I love all your costumes. I had a sleeping Beauty costume like that the ones you were all wearing. I was so excited to wear it. I think I was about 7 years old.
