Now… what shall we talk about?

Still on the halloween kick… here’s a little gem from 1999… when I went as Toht… and my buddy Steve Melching went as Indy…
On Halloween, everyone is friends...
At the time I was working on “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” at Universal… and we had a little halloween get together at work. I had really gone all out and tried to get accurate pieces for this costume… having a prop maker friend of mine create a lit poker, I sculpted a latex application for my palm with the impression of the Staff of Ra Headpiece… I found some nifty real glasses… and went to a military history store and got an authentic replica of a national socialist party pin… which I didn’t realize I was wearing… until I realized what was across the hall from our art department at Universal studios… it was the offices for the “Shoah Foundation”… the group that Steven Spielberg funded to collect aural histories from holocaust survivors… So here I was wandering around the halls in a black leather trenchcoat and Nazi Party button… Luckily no unfortunate misunderstandings happened.

Just goes to show that it’s probably not best to dress as a Nazi in Hollywood. Or anywhere for that matter.

Fascinating. You should make a very convincing Nazi.
I am getting my Halloween ensemble together. I had originally planned on being Number 6 from The Prisoner and was going to spend a couple of hundred bucks on a jacket, but then I found a nice blue and white seersucker suit for cheap on the eBay and decided that this year would be my Carl Kolchak year. Especially since I already have the hat!

Nice… Kolchak was always one of my favorites…;)

Let’s go out trick-or-treating again — but this time I’ll wear my current, awesome Indy costume so I won’t be an embarrassment!
