Things to do when your Netflix needs a break

Friday the 13th in Los Angeles

It is almost time for that special day that only horror lovers know how to celebrate,Friday the 13th! It is coming up this May, so I have come up with some fun ways to honor this day of superstitions, Jason Vorhees , and general creepy and horrorific things here in Southern California. 

1.  The Great Horror Movie Night is  doing an outdoor screening of Friday the 13th(naturally) at the old zoo in Griffith Park. The old zoo is a fun creepy spot known to be haunted ,so a horror movie on Friday the 13 th goes together like Jason and a machete ! Gates open at 6:30 and screening is at 7:45 with tickets at just $15.00. Pack a picnic and remember not to wonder off in the surrounding woods on your own and it should be a great night.šŸ”Ŗhttps://tenthirtyone.frontgatetickets.com/event/n39eh5tnqkrjfm7x

2. If you are looking for a night of no sleep with the man of your nightmares the head to the New Beverly Cinema for the Nightmare on Elm Street marathon . This May 13 they are screening 7 Nightmare on Elm Street movies on 35mm with fun old trailers as well! It all starts at 7:30pm so get ready for an all night slash fest. Tickets will sell fast and they go on sale this weekend so don’t miss out http://www.thenewbev.com/tickets/

3.If all this talk of going out and being around people makes you want to pick up your own machete then plan c is for you. Load up on pizza and have your own horror movie marathon in the comfort of your own home.  If you don’t happen to own way to many movies like myself , Netflix has some very good options for horror right now. 

No matter how you decide to celebrate this Friday the 13th make it a good one. If you have any other ideas or traditions let me know in the comments!

Carrie- The Killer Musical Experience

Horror,Stephen King, and Musical Theater three things that I love and I got to experience all these things in one fun filled evening. Carrie-The Killer Musical Experience is based on the Stephen King’s novel Carrie a story of a shy teenage girl who is tormented by the popular kids and her very religious mother. She comes to discover she has some special powers and after prom everyone will know what happens when things go too far.

To be very honest I was not expecting much from this show. I was able to get tickets on Goldstar and it seemed like a fun Halloween month activity. Also, it is at the Los Angeles Theater on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles so the chance to go to this historic location is worth it to me.I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, this is an exciting , interesting, well done show. The character development in the songs give you something the movie version was missing. The actors in this production were strong and the voices powerful. The first act had me sucked in ,but I knew if they didn’t pull off the prom scene it would be failure in my book. They did it above and beyond what I thought they could do. The effects,the set ,the lighting design it all worked sepectaularly!

If you are in Los Angeles this October then you need to experience this prom for yourself! It is opening October 8th at the Los Angeles Theater and it will be playing for only 6 weeks so get your ticket to the prom now
