Saturday 9: Werewolves of London (1978)
Unfamiliar with this week's featured song? Hear it here.
1)
In this song, Warren Zevon sees a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his
hand. He wanted beef chow mein. If we Saturday 9ers got together for Chinese,
what would you likely order? Fried rice and an egg roll. And, of course, a fortune cookie.
2) He also says the werewolf's hair was perfect. Are you having a good hair day? Yes.
4) Warren Zevon admitted being afraid of doctors and avoided check ups. Are you scared when you go to the doctor or dentist for a routine visit? Nope. Though I should be. I was victim of dental malpractice earlier this year. But it didn't leave me scared. I'm pissed.
5) In 1935, the movie Werewolf of London was released. Do you enjoy being frightened by scary movies? Depends on the movie. Psycho is one of Alfred Hitchcock's best and I appreciate it on so many levels. But it's more about the twisted characters and the suspense than the violence. You never see a knife touching flesh in Psycho. Movies about slashing and guts upset me but don't interest me.
6) In your younger days, did you ever trick or treat while dressed as a monster? I recall so few of my childhood costumes. My mom always picked them out for us, and we had to wear our coats over them anyway. But knowing my mom, we were likely never dressed as monsters.
8) Can you see any Halloween decorations as you answer these 9 questions? Nope.
9) Halloween is most popular in the United States and Canada, and isn't really celebrated at all in Japan or South Korea. How would you explain our Halloween customs to a visitor from another land? I'd say it's when we celebrate fantasy and imagination.

#7 I never heard of Mary Janes before, sounds like an interesting taste.
ReplyDeleteAnother peanut butter fan! I loved Mary Janes too, along with Bit0Honey, Butterfingers, and Chick-o-Sticks. It's a miracle I still have teeth, lol.
ReplyDeleteMy dad loved Mary Janes, we’d give ours to him.
ReplyDeleteOh, a good egg roll is a must with Chinese! Sadly, the egg rolls at our local place are not what they used to be. Will you bring 2, please?
ReplyDeleteI never thought about it, but since you mentioned it...I'm pretty sure my mom chose all my costumes, too, or they were hand-me-downs from my older male cousin. Let me tell you, I was sooooo excited (not) the year I was dressed as The Green Lantern. I didn't even know who he was.
The candy swap was serious business--fortunately, my sisters were mostly fair about it.
ReplyDeleteI like your answer to #9. I remember only a hobo costume, but otherwise, just some kind of plastic mask that always had a plastic backing string that broke. I haven't had a Mary Jane in years. I wonder if they still make them?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on #5. That is what I was trying to say in my answer. Loved your answers. Have a nice weekend.
