All Hallows Eve

[Marc.]

In certain groups I was in, for Halloween, we'd all "dress-up" our gear, ourselves and the stage for the event.

I would decorate my drums with cob-webs, paint-up the set with removeable black-light glow paint, place some strobes & blacklights, each bass drum had a large skull w/burning candles. I had large rubber rats and pumpkins around the kit and suspended bats & spiders from the booms. I would do my whole face as a skull in black & white make-up. We took some pics But they're misplaced somewhere. I'll see if I can find them and post.

We did this back in the late '60s/early '70's. There's so much cooler stuff out there now. Anyone else?

Somewhat sheepishly I admit that I did the same in the 80's and 90's pretty much. I still have the two giant rubber rats, 2 strobes, a fog machine, and some "colorforms-like" thin plastic glow in the dark Halloween stuff that I'd stick to the drums (the plastic pressure contact kind that just peel back off). I never dressed up on Halloween (that I can remember), but I did wear some Spiderman P.J.s for a set of a gig one time on no particular occasion. I had seen them in a store somewhere and had recently seen the movie "The Toy" and thought it would be a laugh. I had them on under sweats and a T-shirt until just before we went on. I cracked everyone up everytime they looked at me (including myself).

I like the skulls in the bass drums thing. Never thought of that one.

It's true the real men live down under. Where men are men and sheep are scared.
I admire your bravery, sir....ahem, ma'am.

My eyes will never be the same.

Thnx, you don't know how much that means to me - I was gonna do up my V's for this 10-31, but as you've pointed out, why bother?

Whoah! Hold up there Mr. Norton. I started this thread, so I should get 1st crack (pun intended).
