Happy Halloween Everyone, Time For Treats

It's here, my favorite Holiday of the year, give me an H-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n, what's that spell? Halloween, Yay! This year I have decided to celebrate All Hallows Eve by having familiar faces pop by and chime in on the Season of the Witch...

Including myself. I love horror movies and my contribution to this column on the most holy of days will be images from my favorite horror movie of all time: John Carpenter's Halloween.

Michael Myers scared the crap out of me, I used to see his white emotionless face appear in the dark for a few years after I first saw the movie! Eeeeeeeeeeeek! So let's get this Dead Man's Party started, shall we? Treat time people!

"I'd re-animate Vlad the impaler. He could show Isis how a pro does it".- Stuart Gordon Writer/Director "Re-Animator" & "Re-Animator The Musical"

"I love sweet tarts which are probably too old fashioned for kids today. It's got this chalky taste that's closer to children's aspirin (which I also love) than candy. I like the candy that everyone hates like candy corn, butterscotch, sweet tarts. And I hate bobbing for apples. That seems dangerous and not delicious." - Margaret Cho Comedian/Writer/Actress

"My favorite thing about Halloween was trading the candy I got from trick or treating for things I actually wanted, because I didn't like candy." - Avi Kaplan Pentatonix

Jamie Lee Curtis Will Cut You!

"We started celebrating Halloween in September haha. We go to the library & get all Halloween stories & start watching Halloween movies. This year were setting up a Halloween tree & making all our own costumes. It's visually festive. We're obsessed!!" -  James Durbin Singer/Songwriter/American Idol Finalist 

"Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday!!  I grew up doing theatre, so it's basically the one time of the year you can be overly theatrical and dress up and the better you do it the cooler you are, haha.  I also just love scary movies and going to themed events like haunted houses, theme parks, parties, etc.  It's all just super fun and scary!" - Kirstin Maldonado Pentatonix

"Um...free chocolate...all you have to do is get dressed up for fun. Yea...I'm all in!" - Raine Brown Actress/Producer/Scream Queen

"My favorite thing about Halloween is getting a group together and going to haunted houses. I looooove being scared with my best friends!"  - Scott Hoying Pentatonix

Everybody Run! It's Michael Myers!

"I LOVE Halloween.  It's my favorite holiday between the costumes and the ghost stories.  I dress up every year and I find that somehow whatever my costume it sort of takes over me and becomes a part of my spirit that defines each year... I like making my costumes myself too; not sewing them or anything but combining the parts in a way that's unique and not just buying something ready made.  Oh and here in LA I insist on going on the Haunted Hayride in Griffith Park!" - Naama Kates Singer/Songwriter/Actress "Souled"

"To be honest, I usually stay in and watch a movie or hang out with friends at their home lol. But maybe I’ll try something fun this year this Halloween!" - Kevin “K.O.” Olusola Cellist, Beatboxer - Pentatonix

"Love me a handful of candy corn, a sparkly magical costume and a bunch of great friends! Kids at my door cutie pies in costumes, party time! That's what I love about Halloween!" - EG Daily Singer/Songwriter/Actress 

"I grew up doing theatre, like Kirstie, so playing dress-up has always been fun for me! I love the decorating aspect of Halloween, too. The kitschier the better!" - Mitchell C. Grassi Pentatonix

"The DRAMA!! lol!" - Aiden Leslie Singer/Songwriter

Look Behind You Babysitter!

"My favorite part of Halloween is the 364 days before when my 5 year old twins try on costumes in preparation".- Cindy Alexander Singer/Songwriter

"I love to go to the Day of the Dead festival at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It's a wonderful taste of loving Mexican culture," - Sir JET Gender Bending Pop Singer

"The look on a kid's face when they walk in with SO much candy."- Debby Holiday Singer/Songwriter

"I love the spirit of Halloween! Dressing up, eating candies and having a great time with your family and friends" - Grace Valerie Singer/Songwriter

"My favorite thing about Halloween is probably Elvira’s boobs. I mean, they are life giving. A close second is making sure to watch Michael Jackson’s, “Thriller”, from start to finish - and dancing that amazing choreography full out because you know, it’s “thriller, thriller night, and no one’s gonna save you from the beast about to strike.” - Matthew Duffy Singer/Dancer/Perfomer 

We Know It's You Michael

"My favorite thing about Halloween is that my birthday is a few days after." - Monique Parent Actress/Scream Queen
"I'm not Wednesday Addams, but I've always been a night owl with a flair for the macabre. Halloween is the one time I can feel truly at home. Add in some chocolate...perfection!" - M.E. Franco Author, The Dion Series
"Dancing to Necroditty! And remember boys and girls...Lloyd is still out there!" - The Drews, Americana With Twisted Roots Band

"I'll be at Comikaze the whole day on Halloween at our booth 161 Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum" - Huston Huddleston Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum Head Honcho

A "Stalker" Romance

Maggie Q & Dylan McDermott

Sometimes life and art bleed together and it's hard to tell the difference, apparently such is the case with Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q who co-star on the new hit series Stalker on CBS.

Neither of them have confirmed it, but the stalkerazzi have caught them with their all seeing lenses out and about together looking thisclose.

Hey they have great chemistry on the show so this really should not surprise those who have seen it.

I have met Mr. McDermott he attended a play I was in once because one of my co-stars was his waiter at a restaurant where he was a regular. What a cool guy he is and if you think he looks good on TV you ought to see him in person.

Fact: Stalking cases have gone up 400 percent since the Internet boom, only two more days until Halloween!

Clea Cutthroat's Top 5 Halloween Tricks

Tricks!
Photo: Daria A Marchik

No Halloween would be complete at Entertain Me without a visit from it's resident Burlesque Biotch, so without further adieu here she is all the way from Berlin, Germany with her Top 5 Tricks for the season, the girl who will tickle your pickle Ms. Clea Cutthroat...!!!

Halloween is when a ho can be a ho. A slut can be a slut.

Every nurse gets 8-inch stilettos, mice get lingerie, firemen come in daisy dukes, and a bloody tampon costume looks more like a cream dream.

I ain’t too proud.

I am one of those ladies who celebrate my inner slut, and wear my lip gloss, heavy eyeliner, 12-inch stilettos and black lace thong with pride...every damn day.

Throw on some animal ears, fake blood, and glitter and…boom!

I’m ready to trick, and to be treated.

However, since my daily work does involve rolls of duct tape, nudity, platform boots, blood and knives…Halloween is really something different (kind of). Well, at the very least, it’s a chance for me to give the performance artist a night off, strap on a fake chainsaw and let the dollar dolla’ bills rain down on me.

Michael asked me for my list of my “Top 5 Halloween Tricks”. Well, luckily Michael and I have bonded over a bloody margarita or five…so, as I’m perched here with my extra dirty martini, lounging in my favorite bloody couture and fluffy fur stripper heels, I’m feeling loose lipped just thinking about my favorite tricks over this ghoulish holiday season.

So many ghouls, too little time.

All Hail Queen Clea!

5. The first trick that comes to mind is “Candy Corn Nipple Guy”. This trick always asks me to suck on his nipples for hours! I swear, with him I always charge for overtime. He begs me to tell him that they taste like candy, but they taste like I’m sucking on a metal lollipop.

I charge per candy corn.

4. The next trick would have to be Candle Man. This trick is just freakin’ creeeeeeeepy. He’s obsessed with me dressing up like Elvira (THAT is not the weird part). The weird part, is that he gets dressed up like a pirate with a rhinestone eye patch, sits down on his vinyl brown couch, and just holds a plates of candles while I strip for him. When he’s really in a mood, he likes holding the plate of candles over me as they drip. Takes hours, and one time I feel asleep, but hey…pirates always have gold, and this fine boo-tay never leaves without anything short of a treasure chest.

3. My third favorite Halloween trick is Mr. Ding-Dong-Ditch. This freaky ass trick doesn’t even want me to come into his house! He pays me to ring his bell and run away. Every Halloween!

Easiest job I ever had.

2. Now let me tell ya about this next trick. Little Miss Redrum. She is insanely hot, but girl is craaaaaazy! She pays me to reenact The Shining with her. The twist here is that she lives is southern Texas, so since it’s always hot, she fills the pool with fake blood, so we hold hands and wear identical twins bikinis while chillin’ in the pool. I don’t get paid much, but she’s fine and she has a frozen margarita machine…good enough for me!

1. Last, but certainly not least, my favorite trick on All Hallows Eve would have to be Satan. Hands down! Dude is slick! Always rolls up in his silver Porsche, perfectly tailored burgundy suit, and a wickedly sexy smile. We drink dirty martinis together in the penthouse Jacuzzi. He asks me what I want, and I get it. Dude is nothing but class all the way! That other guy always makes me eat stale ass bread and drink table wine. I mean, every girl has the right to be glossy and flossy. Mmmmm, hold up…I gotta go move my Porsche.
