I know this Halloween entry is a little late, but I have a good excuse! Today was a big day, so I was kinda busy. How was everyone’s Halloween? I had lots of fun? Can you guess who I went as that night? HINT: I’m not constipated. Really.

So! On Halloween I went to the Haunted Plantation on its last night, screamed like a little girl there, and then booked it over to Tsukiji’s to hang out with my friends and pretend to dance like an idiot.

First of all, I gotta give major props to the people who put together the Haunted Plantation. Seriously, a great location and great scare. I’m sure that place would be creepy at night (or maybe even during the day) without the ghouls, zombies, and chainsaw wielding dudes.

My friends and I spent the extra cash for the VIP tickets and only stood in line for 20 minutes. The regular line was at least three times longer than the VIP line, so I definitely didn’t mind spending a little more to wait in line for a shorter period of time. Before we knew it, we were being explained to follow our guide VERY closely and trying to navigate our way through the haunted house.

I will admit that I screamed on more than one occasion. I, dear reader, am not a screamer. Especially not a screamer that sounds like a 8 year old girl (which is exactly what I sounded like that night). There were “creatures” everywhere: popping out of the plantation houses, jumping out of bushes, brushing shoulders with us on the walkway, and blocking our path on the ground. The whole thing creeped me out (but not to the point where I had nightmares that night), but I had tons of fun.

At the very end, you’re walking through a deserted grassy area when a big zombie with a chainsaw comes running after you. The guy started charging towards the people directly in back of us, so I wasn’t startled, but then quickly screamed and bolted towards the lighted area (the end of the haunted house) when ANOTHER chainsaw zombie blindsided me with the roar of his chainsaw. Embarrassing, I know.

The parking there was horrendous (mainly because it was so damn crowded), but thankfully Kimi drove and was able to sweep in and pick us up before things got too crowded there.

We rushed home, changed into our costumes, and headed out to Tsukiji’s for their Harajuku Halloween event. I had tons of fun, only to suffer for the next few days with horrible allergies.

My friends had such cute costumes! See below!
