Richmond's alternative for news, arts, culture and opinion
The Cut-Ups
The Richmond Masquerade
[image-1](Chad Hunt / StyleWeekly)1. When you were a kid, how long did your bag of candy last before every piece was either gobbled or petrified?
Edward Scissorhands: About a week. Of course, I got sick the day after trying to down half the bag making it back to the house!
Janet Leigh: I kinda picked through it. I was a hoarder and I'd use my candy as a bargaining tool with my older sister. 2. Did you ever actually eat the Bit-O-Honey?
EW: Uh, no.
JL: I did! It might still be stuck in one of my cavities! 3. What was your greatest achievement in a Halloween costume?
EW: Are you asking for the best costume ever or what's the greatest achievement while in my costume? The Grim Reaper for the former and "no comment" for the latter.
JL: My roommate and I were Rob and Fab of Milli Vanilli before they were busted. (Full braids and the little dance, too!) 4. Which Halloween costume of yours is potential blackmail material?
EW: Mr. Spock. I was 5!
JL: Oh! My full-size (mascot-type) bumble bee outfit. I was going to a frat party and received quite a few interesting stares when I stopped to pump gas on my way to the party. 5. What scares you to your core?
EW: Long, dark, empty hallways.
JL: Real life ghost stories. 6. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
EW: Invisibility.
JL: To float around unseen to everyone, listening in and just watching people. (Yes! Voyeurism rocks!) 7. If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be?
EW: The editor of this fine publication.
JL: I'd be George Clooney's pot-bellied pig so that I could watch him walk around the house naked! 8. Who is the scariest person you've ever met?
EW: Kathie Lee!
JL: Beth Hart. Freaky! 9. Who's the coolest: Dracula, Frankenstein or the Wolfman?
EW: Wolfman! Dracula never had Michael J. Fox or Jason Bateman try to portray him. That is a true sign of success.
JL: Leslie Neilsen's Dracula! 10. Have you ever had a paranormal experience?
EW: I'm having one right now.
JL: I wish. See the answers
