Collecting Halloween

Posted in Halloween, Tricks and Treats on August 30th, 2010 by Helfyre

Some people enjoy collecting thing, trinkets, dolls, ornaments and some people like collecting Christmas stuff, or from other holidays like Halloween. There is always lots of decorations for the household like candle holders and candy dishes so its really not difficult to get a good collection going really fast. There’s cute little Halloween trinkets , or creepy decor that is functional as well. Some people spend years collecting and many items end up being worth some money in the end . Its amazing what you can find and where if your determined enough to look around at Halloween time.

There is also more complicated desserts and treats such as this house in the photo, but it would be very impressive to guests and family at Halloween. For adults there is a many drink recipes out there on the web, spooky martinis or if you dont drink, wear a martini costume . Also what seems to be popular as well is a fall inspired caramel apple martini.

It’s Time To Choose A Side

alien-vs-predator-requiem-1

A bad ass space alien whose desire is to hunt and skin humans or a bad ass space alien whose desire is to breed and take over which ever planet they may inhabit at the moment; both seem like a good choice. If you can’t make up your mind, you can always watch a movie that includes both.

A satellite detects a mysterious heat bloom beneath Bouvetøya, an island about one thousand miles north of Antarctica. A team of scientists is assembled to investigate the heat source.

As a Predator ship reaches Earth’s orbit, it blasts a shaft through the ice towards the source of the heat bloom. When the humans arrive at the site above the heat source they find the shaft and descend beneath the ice. They discover a mysterious pyramid and begin to explore it, finding evidence of a civilization predating written history and what appears to be a sacrificial chamber filled with human skeletons with ruptured rib cages.

Meanwhile, three Predators land and kill the humans on the surface, making their way down to the pyramid and arriving just as the remaining team unwittingly powers up the structure. An Alien queen awakens from cryogenic stasis and begins to produce eggs, from which facehuggers hatch and attach to several humans trapped in the sacrificial chamber. Chestbursters emerge from the humans and quickly grow into adult Aliens.

It is found out that every 100 years the Predators would visit Earth to take part in a rite of passage in which several humans would sacrifice themselves as hosts for the Aliens, creating the “ultimate prey” for the Predators to hunt. If overwhelmed, the Predators would activate their self-destruct weapons to eliminate the Aliens and themselves. The explorers deduce that this is why the current Predators are at the pyramid, and that the heat bloom was to attract humans for the purpose of making new Aliens to hunt.

The remaining humans decide that the Predators must be allowed to succeed in their hunt so the Aliens do not reach the surface. Alexa and the Predator reach the surface, where they battle the escaped Alien queen.

A Predator ship uncloaks and several Predators appear. They collect their fallen comrade and retreat into space.

I’ve left out a lot because I didn’t want to ruin anything in case you haven’t seen it. If you haven’t, go out and rent it right now, you should see it for yourself. It’s an action packed SCI-FI fest giving every SCI-FI junky what they want; some space aliens and lots of cool effects. While you’re at it, you could dress up as your favourite one.
