V.S. Fire Dept Haunted Firehouse

And so another October is here and with it looking for things to do to make the most of the short-lived Halloween season.  

Tonight me and my man ventured off to check out the local haunted house @ the Valley Stream Fire Department.

Okay, on the plus side its $10 for adults $5 for the kiddies.  And if you don't want to deliberately be scared, like the kids under 12 yrs old behind us, you simply ask and they give you a flash light which lets the ghouls know NOT to get you.  Also on the plus side is we went before 8 p.m. and the wait was under a half hour.

On the minus side, it was pretty tame, especially compared to the place we went place year, Schmitt's Farm, out in Melville.  Of course I screamed and was scared abit and held onto my man's hand for dear life, that's just me.  And the "scare" was actually pretty exhiliarating, which is a new thing for me.

I wish I could just say "be afraid, be very afraid" but that would only apply to being afraid of disappointment.

I'd heard good things about this haunted house and I was disappointed, I was hoping it was kick ass and it wasn't.  Then again, if you don't feel like driving far and saving some dough, then this is a decent option, especially if you are just taking little kiddies.

 

Broadways Finest - A Movie Review




So I decided to venture to obsure indie laden Malverne Theatre for a film called Broadway’s Finest.  After seeing the trailer I decided it was worth a look.
 
Pretty much unknown actors portray the characters here.   After an exceptional impromptu workshop performance as detectives, three out of work actor buddies decide that writing their own play may be the easiest way to find work.  Only soon they find themselves not only immersed in their roles, but taking the law into their own hands.  Check the trailer out on Facebook.

There’s a halfway decent, storyline and halfway decent perforamances, that made this Sunday filmgoer a-okay with watching this little film.  I give it two stars.
