scary things for halloween

i’m not not entirely sure why, but this image scares the hell out of me.

i think it goes back to a general fear of swimming pool drains.

i found this image, btw, on a web page on which people were listing “really difficult halloween costumes”. my favorites, for which i cannot take credit, were probably “Spinoza’s God” and “string theory.” i’m a sucker for high-concept halloween costumes. someone told me today about a two-person costume in which one person is text and the other is subtext. text guy says, “i like your hair,” and subtext guy translates, “i want to know where you got it done so i can mine cut just like that.” ha. no Pretty Pretty Princess costumes for me.
