phatjoe's last night for his somewhat earlier Halloween party. Twas a fun time. He had some campy horror movies in the background. Some 50s Tarantula movie was playing when clevemire and I got there. The leading lady in that was some chick who looked like a classy Gina Gershon.
Next, was this movie called "Happy Birthday to Me" starring one of the Ingalls girls from Little House on the Prairie. The one not married to a space station captain and has a lesbian sister. You know, the blind one. Couldn't really hear the dialogue, but I ascertained enough to figure out when they showed some Great Expectations looking house all dusty and untouched with party decorations and old-ass cake and stuff, that the denouement would have the corpses of the murdered, missing members of the "Top Ten" (the most popular clique at the school, because I guess they are the ten coolest kids or something?) around the table in some sort of macabre imitation of a party.
Hilariously, everyone wore these grey and blue scarves, and it totally made one of the guys look like the Fourth Doctor. Also weird, that the characters were supposed to be high schoolers, and not college students, because they looked way too old to be high schoolers. But then again, that's the way "teen" movies were like back then. I had to look up the plot in Wikipedia, and I'm still not sure it makes sense but I am oddly fascinated.
So, the LHotP chick plays this girl named Ginny, and a member of the Top Ten. Throughout the movie, the other members start disappearing, all the while Ginny is having hallucinations of seeing their dead bodies. Eventually, we, the audience, actually see her kill one of them. We learn through flashbacks that when she was a freshman, her mother invited the Top Ten to Ginny's b-day to celebrate her new socialite status, but they never came, going to another member of the Top Ten's b-day party instead, Ann. So, the mom heads over there, demanding Ginny be let in, but the groundskeeper tells her to get lost, because she (the mother) has a rep as being the "town whore". She's so upset, she accidentally drives off a drawbridge, and drowns while Ginny survives.
They never explain how Ginny then got into the Top Ten, but at first it seems maybe she's getting revenge on them for her mother dying, but not consciously, like an part of her that secretly blames and resents them, rather than it being some elaborate revenge plot. Because it doesn't seem like she wants to kill these people. Then, there's a red herring where it seems like maybe its the mother (even though we see Ginny herself kill two people), secretly alive this whole time.
But it turns out it was Ann, wearing a life like Ginny mask who killed them all (and kept chloroform-ing Ginny so she'd be out of the way and lose time during the murders) and dug up the mom and stuff. She killed the top ten and Ginny's parents and framed Ginny out of revenge, because apparently they're half sisters, Ginny's "whore" mom having slept with Ann's father. Which, why!? I can see why she might hate Ginny and her family, but why the hell would she kill all of her friends?! So in the end, Ginny gets the jump on Ann, kills her, but then the cops bust in, and see her standing with a bloody knife over Ann, and the corpses of her parents and the top ten. And given how outlandish the story is, she's prolly effed and going down for multiple murders.
We also saw Frankenhooker, because S was so egg-cited about PJ having it, though she missed what was apparently the greatest part, where a bunch of the hookers smoke his special made super-crack and blow up, in horrible special effects.
Eventually, PJ threw in Lips rather than Rock Band, which was fine with me, since I prefer the singing anyways. I eventually got to do Montel Jordan's "This is How We Do it" before we left. I actually hadn't gotten to do rock band (or any sort of karaoke) since I lost and regained my voice. I mean, last christmas J was knocked up, so they didn't bring rock band for the annual Christmas get together in Jersey. But yeah, I've noticed since my throat issues, like at church and stuff, my throat does hurt a little when I sing for an extended amount. Although one song is hardly an extended amount. Like its not painful, it just aches a little. That, and I've noticed there are notes I can't hit anymore.
