THIS WEEK IN L.A. - IT'S HALLOWEEN - DOH!
 HORRIFYINGLY HUGE
Dia de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever Cemetary on Saturday
The annual West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval on Sunday
GHOULISHLY GOOFY
You can bowl in your costume in Torrance
Ice Skate in your costume in Valencia
Sing in your costume in Hollywood
or how about an Aural Phantasy Gallery of Horrors Variety Show?
PARANORMAL PARTYING see the Nightlife calendar - there are just too many to mention here.
HELLISHLY HAUNTING - we've braved some of them ourselves. We rode a haywagon to hell on LA's Haunted Hayride, voyaged with a shipload of ghouls and ghosts at Dark Harbor, and encountered the living dead on the Haunted Hollywood Scavenger Hunt. Plus we discovered that Burbank is Halloween Town - a great area to find all the gear you'll need to dress up this year. Charles Phoenix of course went to Disneyland for Halloween (story below). For ghoulish adventures and supernatural thrills and chills, or maybe you just want to pick out a pumpkin, check our Halloween page. ENOUGH ALREADY? Just in case you are totally sick to death of all the overly hyped hair raising hullabaloo that is Halloween - an AMAZIGH film festival, Oktoberfest or maybe a Veggie Pride Parade would be more your thing this weekend.

 YARD SALE SIGNS DOESN'T QUITE FIT AT THEATRE THEATER
by M.R. Hunter
Don't let playwright Jennie Webb's title fool you-this is not a comedy that takes place at a yard sale, but an off the rack consignment store where the women are trying on more than clothes. Having outgrown their roles, or attempting to get comfortable in new ones, six strangers bolster each other and discover that life is not one-size fits all.
This is a terrific show for women to see together. It tickles the funny bone and touches on the vulnerable world of women surrounded by those awful dressing room mirrors...

DISNEYLAND POSER, MAIN ST, USA, 2010
By Charles Phoenix
After a lifetime of going to Disneyland, I finally, for the first time ever, posed for a pic with a Disney character! How much do we all love that magical moment when we're at the park and unexpectedly spot a Disney character? It's like spotting a celebrity, only better! It doesn't matter which one it is, Donald Duck, the Three Pigs, Chip 'n Dale, and of course, Mickey and Minnie, the characters are always a thrill to see. But for whatever reason, I've never run up to one of them, struck a pose and said "Cheese!" Not even when I was a kid...

 SUGAR DADDY: A BITING COMEDY LOW IN LAUGHS AT LOUNGE 2 THEATRE by M.R. Hunter
Coming off her successful run during the Fringe Festival, Fielding Edlow's one-woman show about a binge-eating New Yorker with Daddy issues is as sweet as meringue but comes down like a sugar crash.
Directed by Paul Stein, the whipped pace through Edlow's fluffy material rarely gives the audience an opportunity to savor each scene. Flying through one-sided therapy sessions, a date with a homeless man and car rides with her father, Fielding demonstrates a frenetic urban vapidity without any moments of realization...

 WHAT A TRIUMPH! FUGARD'S "THE TRAIN DRIVER" AT THE FOUNTAIN THEATRE
by M.R. Hunter
Athol Fugard shows no sign of slowing down in his fifty years as a South African political playwright.
His latest play, inspired by a newspaper article of a South African mother who took her life and the lives of her three children by stepping in front of an oncoming train is a slight departure from his other works-immediately arresting and personal on a brooding, intimate scale.
At the very least, The Train Driver is Fugard's finest...
