The Stanley Park Ghost Train
Guess what, people? It is that time of year again and it is time for the Stanley Park Ghost Train! This year's theme is Alice In Nightmareland – how frickin' awesome is that? What would your favourite characters recently back from the dead would you like to see? I hope Alice digs her way out of the grave to kiss my chainsaw blade! Hahaha!
*cough* But, seriously, I am a lover of the train in Stanley Park and it is always a pleasant distraction. I am heading there tonight if you're at all interested to come and hang out.
Here is their verbage:
All this and more is in store for those who dare to climb aboard this year's Stanley Park Hallowe'en Ghost Train. Since 1999, the Ghost Train has been an annual tradition for thousands of families craving thrills and excitement. Reinventing itself each year with new themes, sets, costumes and many more surprises conjured up by the creative team at Mortal Coil Performance Society, the Ghost Train is a uniquely wonderful and fun experience every trick-or-treat season.
Directors Sharon Bayly and Peter Hall of Mortal Coil head up this year's crew of actors, dancers, stilt performers, and puppeteers. Don't worry, even as you venture with Alice into Nightmareland, you'll be out of harm's way in the safety of the Ghost Train…..trust us!
See you boo-night…! Okay, enough, already…
Happy Hallowe'en!
I wish I could head out and do a little trick or treating. But I am too old. At least, that is what they keep telling me. I don't recall ever getting old and I don't remember my trick and treating rights being revoked! I thought I was like that guy in Lethal Weapon 2 and had some sort of Halloween candy gathering immunity. It makes you want to go out knock over a few kids and sneak away with pillow cases of candy.
But you can't knock over those kids. They carry knives these days to protect themselves against all those people giving away free candy laced with acid and razor blades. Of course, I suppose, if there was acid in the candy they may not care so much about the razor blades.
Anyway, have a great Halloween!
