The Assignment: Interview at least one person in a "death" costume. One might be enough - if that person has plenty to say in an interesting way. If not, you will have to interview several people.

Can you be in the story? Sure. But the ratio of you to your sources better be 1:3 and up. (Yes, of course, you can do this assignment in costume.) Take photos.

Here are some possible questions:

1. Why are you wearing that costume? Is that the real you?
2. Have you used your costume to frighten anyone? Do you intend to? Should I be afraid of you?
3. What other costumes did you consider?
4. What are your own greatest fears?
5. Movies that frighten you?
6. People that frighten you?
7. Is it healthy to be frightened of movies, people, things, etc.? Why?

Here are some other sources of information that might suggest provocative questions. Story is due by class time Thursday.


 25 frightening halloween costumes

Halloween is that time of year where people put on scary costumes and scare the guts out of their friends. We’re talking about scary ghouls, demons, zombies, mummies, and a host of other bizarre creature-like things! Are you thinking about which Halloween costume you will wear this year? If so, you should check out our list. From the living dead to bizarre demons, these are 25 most terrifying Halloween costumes.

The worst ways to die


The worst ways to die, as voted on by the Ranker Community. Sure, it's a little morbid, but who doesn't think about death every once in a while?
Vote on the worst ways to kick the bucket, and see how your fears stack up against everyone else's. Just don't tell that Grim Reaper dude about any of this...

If you had to choose your own means of execution, what would you choose?


From the wikipedia page:

"The Euthanasia Coaster would kill its passengers through prolonged cerebral hypoxia, or insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. The ride's seven inversions would inflict 10 g on its passengers for 60 seconds – causing g-force related symptoms starting with gray out through tunnel vision to black out and eventually g-LOC (g-force induced loss of consciousness). Depending on the tolerance of an individual passenger to g-forces, the first or second inversion would cause cerebral anoxia, rendering the passengers brain dead.[citation needed] Subsequent inversions would serve as insurance against unintentional survival of particularly robust passengers."

Also supposed to cause hallucinations due to lack of oxygen. Execution by a deadly roller-coaster version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?

By the way, who would you kill?

We’re not saying you want to kill anyone, necessarily. But let’s say there’s a circumstance where you could just totally get away with it, and no one would ever know, and maybe there’s even additional circumstances where you need to kill them. Like what if you’re on a lifeboat with no supplies and you need to murder and eat the other survivor before hunger makes you weak and/or they get the same idea as you? Or maybe your rich uncle is taking a little too long to die? Or perhaps you're just a bored aristocrat who craves the thrill of flying homeless people to your private island and hunting them for sport? Whatever the case, who would you kill?
