MAKING MUSIC FROM MARS 09Spagett! Did I spook

you? You should have seen the look on your face, wow! It is Hallow-een, after all, and ‘tis the season for frights and scares. All Hallow’s Eve, as you may also re-fer to the holiday, is a

great time to horrify, startle or just plain scare the pants off your friends and family. Self-described “scare specialist” and Robert Morris University sociologist Dr. Margee Kerr recently revealed in an interview with The Atlantic that the way some folks love the thrill of being scared while others avoid it at all cost is more than a coincidence: People who enjoy being scared often receive ex-cessive amounts of dopamine when frightened. I am not one of those people, but I still greatly enjoy the guising tradition of Halloween. I will take nearly any excuse to let my freak fl ag fl y high, so I have used Halloween as an excuse to create many of my costumes myself over the years.

One of my earliest memories of trick-or-treat-ing centers around my costume as a frog. I was a small child, and my mom created the costume: green sweats, top and bottom, with a green headband. Affi xed to the headband were my “frog eyes”–large pieces of white styrofoam with black felt hot-glued on. From a very young age, the DIY spirit has been at the core of my Halloween experience and traditions.

In middle school, I grew more ambitious. My magnum opus of homemade costuming was a full-body vending machine costume. Consisting of a large cardboard box on the face of which I had created an interface (keys from an old computer keyboard glued into a 3x4 pad arrangement) and a display window (a variety of candy bars taped to a large piece of cellophane, stretched over a huge hole made in the front with a box-cutter), the costume was a huge hit until it repeatedly fogged up from the inside.

This year, I will be going as Wilson Wilson, Jr. (the sage-like neighbor from Home Improve-ment). Equipped with a bucket hat, fishing vest and a handheld piece of fence crafted from pop-sicle sticks and gratuitous Elmer’s, I am most excited simply to wear one of my own flannel shirts. Rarely do comfort, fashion and the fly fishing aesthetic intersect so beautifully. It should be quite a treat.

TALK TO BUZZ

I kind of feel like this week I've just been exhaused and sad... That's kind of funny, right?

Chladny Orthodontics is hosting a Halloween Candy Buyback on Nov. 3 and 4 at both their Charleston and Champaign offices. For every pound (up to 10 lbs.) of candy donated, Dr. Chlad-ny will pay a dollar.

All donations are then sent to Operation Grati-tude, a nonprofit organization that annually sends 150,000+ care packages filled with snacks, enter-tainment items and personal letters of apprecia-tion to currently deployed U.S. Service Members, their families and wounded warriors recovering in military hospitals or transition units.

In addition, the Halloween drive encourages dentists to send individually-packaged tooth-brushes, dental floss and toothpaste. In Opera-tion Gratitude’s words, “We need to keep smiles on the troops’ faces all shiny, bright and healthy!”

Operation Gratitude receives over 120 tons of candy each year. They ask that individual donors send care packages separately from dentist drives and make a financial donation instead to help the nonprofit pay for shipping costs. Every $15 received sends another care package.

Something that sets the Chladny drive apart is that every pound of candy donated will be matched by a one dollar donation to the Crisis Nursery in Urbana, a 24-hour emergency care center dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect and supporting families in crisis. Consider dropping by Chladny Orthodontics after Hallow-een, not just to help abroad, but to support the Champaign-Urbana community.

The Champaign drive will be held at 1715 Broad-moor Drive, Suite A, from 4:30–5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 4. Call 356-2222 for more information.

» Junior Mints: Anyone who’s been buying bulk amounts of Halloween candy lately has surely noticed a disturbing inequality. Fun-sized Junior Mints, those cute, white boxes

of dimpled dark chocolate, come wrapped in an additional layer of plastic. While similar boxed candies like Dots and Milk Duds mingle freely with the other treats in the bag, the chewy mints stay sealed away with an additional, transparent security blanket. What do Junior Mints know that the rest of the confections don’t? What is that fresh, white center afraid of? Will I find a razor in my Reeses’s? Whether the candy maker’s reasoning is cosmetic or con-spiratorial, Junior Mints are the last candy I’d see survive in my basket this holiday.

» Kevin Bacon: Ever since I re-ceived the Footloose VHS for, like, my ninth birthday (which I specifically asked for and was the first movie I ever owned), I have had an affinity for Kevin Bacon.

After many “debates” with my friends, I feel as though I must publicly advocate this perhaps em-barrassing position. Kevin Bacon is the man. Kevin Bacon is hot. He has always been hot. He was hot in is teeny-weeny speedo in Friday the 13th and he’s still hot as a washed-up, old, alcoholic FBI agent in The Following. LY, KB.

TOO SPOOKY FOR METhe horror films and shows that haunt our staff’s dreamsBY BUZZ MOVIES & TV STAFF

Courage the Cowardly Dog:Courage the Cowardly Dog is an animated

series that aired on Cartoon Network until late 2002. The show’s target audience was pri-marily elementary to middle school children, created by John R. Dilworth as an “animated horror comedy series." Let us, for a moment, examine this paradoxical description. Anima-tion? Check. The main character of the show is a purple dog with brown spots on its rather kidney-shaped body. Horror? Check. If the creepy opening soundtrack and disturbing, shadowy monsters were not enough indica-tion you should be a wary watcher, the car-toon dog (ironically named “Courage”), sports a constant grimace at the horror of his twisted world. Comedy? Che—wait. Admittedly, the show is quite entertaining and chuckle-wor-thy to the older, more seasoned viewer. And Courage the Cowardly Dog does have a “Tom and Jerry” feel to it, which makes us grin as we watch Courage dodge all sorts of animated obstacles and monsters. However, I must ad-mit I did not understand the show’s subtle sarcasm and dry jokes when I was a child and took every (strangely human) scream of Cour-age’s with the utmost seriousness. Let it also be known that the adult figures in Courage the Cowardly Dog were sincerely hapless and not people you would want on your team when facing a zombie apocalypse. This made the show’s monsters even more tremble-worthy because if you couldn’t count on good ole' Mom and Dad to save you, then what was stopping Bigfoot or Count Dracula from snacking on you? Overall, if I were to mention a TV show that had childhood me quaking in my size-four boots, Courage the Cowardly Dog would definitely be at the top of my list.

Child’s Play:As a child, I loved American Girl dolls, Addy

and Bitty Baby were the dolls I considered my daughters. I had a kitchen set, cribs, countless outfits, a rocking chair, toys for the dolls and even pretend food for them. I would sleep with them at night and they became a part of my daily routine, and I wanted to go everywhere with them. That all changed the moment I saw Child's Play. The movie is about a mother who gives her son a doll that turns out to be possessed by a serial killer and begins killing people. As I child, I wasn’t concerned with

(nor did I understand) the possession part of the story. What got me was the fact that dolls were killing people. Because I spent so much time with my dolls, it seemed the movie was giving me warnings. I would wake up and think my doll would have moved their heads dur-ing the night. Eventually, I ended up moving

my dolls to the backroom and, despite the fact I’m over that fear now, they are still in my back room to this day.

Beetlejuice:Say “Beetlejuice” three times, and a small man

in a black and white-striped suit appears. Well, at least he did for Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) in Tim Burton’s 1988 film, Beetlejuice. And as a kid, even the mention of the word beetlejuice gave me the chills—a childish over-reaction of pathetic special effects and the loony acting of an exaggerated character, the aforemen-tiond suited man, Beetlejuice. Thanks to my parents, I will never be able to watch another Tim Burton movie, or listen to the song “Jump in the Line” by Harry Belafonte ever again.

The film tells the story of the Maitlands’ quest to take back their home after their drowning. As a new family moves into their house, the Maitland’s reach out to freelance bio-exorcist, Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton). The ensuing events are more comical than horrifying, and Tim Burton does what Tim Burton does best in this comedy/horror film.

Although even the mention of the film still gives me the creeps, it still holds a place in my heart as my first “scary” movie. It’s understandable why my parents thought that this film was appropriate for an eight-year-old’s first scary movie. The mon-sters, ghosts and creatures are all made of what can only be described as play-dough and look as if

they wouldn’t scare a four-year-old. The ridiculous special effects and the overly exaggerated acting is horrifying in itself. Perhaps that’s why Beetlejuice is the perfect film for those of us who hate horror films but love a good laugh.

—Julia Hinders

The Sixth Sense:The film that scared me the most as a child was

The Sixth Sense. I watched it when I was eight years-old and was deathly afraid of ghosts walking around my house. I even watched it during the day and was still petrified to go into rooms that someone else wasn’t already in. I couldn’t sleep for months. That one really got to me. here were several moments in the film I could point to, but I think the one that really stood out was when Cole is sitting in his blanket fort and a young Mischa Barton shows up puking every-where. Then of course there was the point where Cole walks out into the kitchen to what he thinks is his mom but is actually a ghost that shows her cut-up wrists. What makes it even worse, though, is that I think it is actually a really good movie but was never able to enjoy it until a couple years ago, when I finally got around to revisiting it. It only kept me up a few nights the last time.

GASTRONOMY?The F&D Sta! shares their most frightful food experiencesBY F&D STAFF

Halloween is as much a celebration of food as it is terror. From candy corn and pump-

kin spice to dizzying amounts of candy bars and confections, it just wouldn’t be worth dressing up like a fool if there wasn’t some sort of sweet, sweet gratification at the end. Yet, while end-less Snickers and Milky Ways might represent the very highest form of indulgence, this spooky holiday prompts a more sinister consideration of our most horrifying food experiences to date.

While I’m totally a proponent of trying out new kinds of global cuisine, there’s always a point at which I just have to draw the line. Specifically, I will never be able to stomach a certain Japanese and Korean delicacy known as odori don. What is odori don? Well, apart from the stuff of nightmares, it’s a freshly prepared squid carcass—tentacles and all—served atop a bowl of rice. Doesn’t sound so bad, right?

Wrong. Though the brain is removed, the squid is so fresh that its sensory nerves are still active. Consequentially, when you pour soy sauce on the squid, the salt stimulates its muscle tissue to spasm leaving you with a horrifying/some-what comical dancing zombie squid for dinner. Additionally, not only is odori don downright bizarre, but also it could kill you. If you forget to properly chew before swallowing it’s pos-sible that the zombie squid could suction itself to your throat, effectively suffocating you to death. All in all, I’d classify odori don as a mas-sive trick rather than a treat!

stations and sold in paper cups. On my last day in India, after a month’s time of following these stringent rules, I saw a samosa street vendor and just couldn’t resist. The flaky, but-tered crust encapsulated a spicy potato filling mixed with peas. The meal was a perfect snack, and I happily hopped in a rickshaw home. Two hours later, I paid for not heeding my mother’s warnings. My stomach grumbled, I started sweating bullets and let’s just say I missed my flight home the next day.

I’m all for trying new things, so when I went out to a tapas restaurant last weekend and my boyfriend’s dad wanted to order oysters, I told myself that there’s a first time for everything. They arrived at our table and were a lot smaller than I expected, which secretly gave me some relief, knowing I wouldn’t have to gulp down a huge portion if I didn’t like it. I squeezed some lemon over my oyster and scraped it into my mouth. While this sweater weather has me wishing I was on the beach, the taste of the beach mixed with the fleshy texture was not an enjoyable experience for me. I managed to swallow it, and I’m glad I gave them a try. However, my stomach was far from happy with me after.

—Leila Shinn

Before I came to college, I always heard about these rolls of raw fish called sushi, and it was just disgusting for me to think about. When I finally came down here, all my friends would eat sushi, and I would just watch them with the most twisted face. It smelled exactly like how raw fish smells. I just knew that it had to be health hazard eating this stuff. One time, I literally left my friend who was eating sushi with eel in it. It did not look appetizing, and I wanted to vomit right then and there. I would have never thought I would try it while being here in Champaign, but I did. The first time

I tried it, my stomach hurt a little, so I said I wouldn’t do it again. Then I went to KoFusion, and my outlook on sushi completely changed. Although it never left my mind that I was con-suming raw fish it is just the best meal ever. Now every Sunday if I have time, I always go to KoFusion for dollar sushi.

With a crispy, crunchy skin that yields to layer after layer of piping hot, succulent meat, fried chicken makes for a pretty comforting fall treat—or that’s what my roommate and I thought, at least. We were toying with this new method of making a super airy batter through the use of compressed gas and a whipped cream dispenser, and it just about worked. The chicken popped and sizzled its way toward golden-brown perfection; all that was left was to clean out the remaining globs of batter from the dispenser. Unfortunately, the excitement over our creation caused momentary amnesia that our batter was still under pressure. The ear-shattering pop and sticky, gooey explosion was like something out of Ghostbusters–there was enough batter everywhere to deep-fry my clothes, my glasses and even the TV. And though the initial shock might have been scary, even more terrifying were the two hours of floor-to-ceiling scrubbing that followed.

A FRIGHTFUL DELIGHTLocal businesses team up to bring elaborate Halloween dinner and murder mysteryBY KELSEY BARRY

With Halloween just around the corner, a murder mystery is a great way to cel-

ebrate the spooky holiday. Hudson Farm, in collaboration with Champaign-Urbana The-ater Company and Piato Catering, is hosting a Fangs for Memories Murder Mystery Dinner on Halloween night. With the farm as a back-drop, guests will be treated to an exciting murder mystery that they can participate in solving. The Hudson Family Farm is a stunning location for this dinner, but it’s not just the dinner that makes the farm special.

Nearly 65 years ago, Cecil Bryan Hudson, along with his son, Ray Marion Hudson, began con-struction on the barn’s framework. Unfortunate-ly, not long after the duo began to work on the barn, a severe storm demolished the unfinished structure. This prompted the Hudsons to re-evaluate their construction options and engage other local builders for the task. The result was a magnificent structure symbolizing both indi-vidual and community perseverance and unity.

The barn, a focal point of the family’s dairy op-eration, was completed circa 1950 and remod-eled in 2005. Adjacent to the barn is a small milk house from which a local dairy processed fresh milk and delivered it to the area’s residents. For

decades, the farm had been a gathering place for any and all family and friends of Hudson Farm, and the owners are excited to be able to share this magnificent location with others for their special events. Traditionally, when the owner’s children were young, the entire family would gather at the farm on July 4 to watch the CU fireworks display. They were easily the best seats available to view the fireworks display.

Hudson Farm is not only a great place for din-ner and a show, but it has also become a venue for weddings since the owner’s daughter and her fiancé, Leah and Joe Caniano, respectively, tied the knot there two years ago. On the Monday af-ter their wedding, Hudson Farm had three phone calls inquiring to rent the property. In 2015, Hud-son Farm will be the home of seven weddings, and Hudson Farm is looking to be hosting 20-30 weddings in 2016. This gave Hudson Farm a new start as a unique event space.

The farmstead is surrounded by fertile fields from years of planting and harvesting and of-fers guests a beautiful view of the distant city lights. At night, when the murder mystery will take place, it should provide a great ambiance for guests while they eat their spooky dinner.

Fangs for Memories guests are encouraged to

dress up in costume, but if they’re not quite feel-ing the Halloween spirit, they are free to come as they are. They are encouraged to make their best guess about the identity of the murderer, though it is sure to be a difficult task. Local actors and actresses will be doing their best to mingle and blend in with the crowd at the beginning of the night and during the dinner. Attendees are encouraged to keep a watchful eye and always stay on the hunt for clues as to who might be the murderer. But guests should be careful, as each actor and actress has a motive for murdering the victim. One never knows who might be plotting a murder amidst the socializing crowd. The guests who guess the murderer correctly in the murder mystery will receive a small prize, courtesy of Hudson Farm.

Piato is considered to be one of the premier catering companies in the Champaign-Urbana area, so guests are sure to have some frightfully delicious treats for dinner. Piato plans to have a Halloween-themed menu comprised of the following items:

• Devilish Eggs• Vampire Chasers (Crostini with leeks, garlic and

onions)

• Black Widow Goat Cheese Log with Finger and Toe Crackers

• Mashed “Boo”tatoes• Bats & Cobwebs Bowtie Pasta with Tomato Sauce

and Mozzarella Cheese• Rattlin’ Bones (Marinated Short Ribs)• Mummy Cakes• Ghostly Lemon Pops• Red Velvet Cake Eyeballs with White Chocolate

The dinner and festivities will run from 6 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 31, but the organizers allow guests to stay as long as they would like to. Tickets can be purchased at Hudson Farm or Piato in Lincoln Square Mall. The tickets are selling out quickly, so organizers advise guests to buy them as soon as possible. Hopefully if enough tickets are sold, Fangs for Memories will become an exciting, annual event for the Cham-paign-Urbana area.

Fangs for Memories Murder Mystery Dinner will run from 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31. Tickets are on sale for $35 until sold out. Hudson Farm is located southeast of Urbana at 1341 County Road, 1800 East Urbana, just off of Windsor by Country Arbors.

ONE NIGHT ONLYTeenage Martians plays their annual Halloween show BY ELIAS J. TRACY

The dimly lit streets accented by na-ture’s autumnal hues lend to an

eerie, picturesque quality exhibited in most sub-urban horror movies. This creepy environment makes CU a perfect setting for Halloween festivi-ties and, with the holiday falling on a Friday this year, these festivities have increased tenfold. And one show happening in CU captures the bizarre essence of Halloween more than any other. Teen-age Martians will gear up for their one and only show of the year Friday night, playing exclusively Danzig-era Misfits covers. This annual Halloween show has become a local tradition over the past eight years and will take place at Error Records’ new Urbana location on Main Street this time.

Teenage Martians formed in 2006 as five friends bonding over their mutual addiction of horror-punk legends Misfits.

“It started as a side project and ended up being more than that,” lead singer and Danzig stand-in Curt Hovis said. “We just wanted to play their songs, and it started as that and stayed like it—a nice, easy thing to do in between the bands all of us were juggling back.” Teenage Martians would become something more serious than initially intended, resulting in multiple performances throughout the year of the band’s inception. But the initial lineup broke up shortly after.

Picking up the pieces, Hovis and Greg Useless resurrected the band, opting this time for a re-

volving lineup including members of Midstress, Los Assparados and We Must Dismantle All This!. This iteration of Teenage Martians would continue, only playing shows once a year on Hal-loween.

“After our initial demise we decided to keep everything together as a special thing to do for the holiday regardless of where we were in our personal lives and with our own bands,” Hovis said. “It’s kind of crazy to think about all the shit we’ve been through in the years we’ve been to-gether, and all the bands we’ve had between all of us in the meantime.”

Though this annual tradition started because of the Misfits’ special interest in the holiday, it’s

become much more than just an honoring of a mutually adored band—it’s become a way for a group of friends to continue being a part of one another’s lives.

Hovis is confident the tradition will continue indefinitely, too.

“No matter what we’re up to in our current endeavors, we can take one night away a year to blast everything into oblivion in a ‘whoa-oh-oh’-fueled fury,” Hovis said.

In an ever-changing CU music scene, there re-mains few constants. And one thing that’s been certain for most of the past decade: Teenage Martians will play a show on Halloween.


COMMUNITYCOMMUNITY

Y ou’ve never met anyone like him or, more accurately, them. Through his professions

alone, Jake Aurelian offers a distinct individuality, as he is both an author and a comedian. Aurelian adds to his individual flare even further, however, with his alter ego: Ripper the Clown.

Graduating from the University in 2000 with a degree in Media Studies and minor in Rhetoric, Aurelian has written eight books to date. Since 2012, his fiction works have received eight inter-national literary awards.

Through his books, Aurelian provides a smart, refreshing and unique style of writing. In The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown: The Autobiography of an Unconventional Zombie, for example, Aurelian puts a new twist on the typical zombie genre, as he applies his characteristic unconventionality to it. Aurelian changes the zombie genre to accommodate the first-person narration and have Ripper the Clown as the main character. In his children’s book, Pete the Picky Piranha, he subtly interjects with adult humor, ensuring that the book is appropriate for children, while still providing entertainment for their parents.

Aurelian shows no fear when it comes to ex-perimenting with his writing, as he breaks down the fourth wall in many of his books, going so far as to blatantly telling his readers what kind of music to envision for a particular scene. Au-relian is also an expert in taking true events and fictionalizing them into his works. Even with the knowledge that five of his books are fiction, readers are often left wondering what is real and what is made up, as the lines between the two are ingeniously blurred.

This unconventional nature of his books can also be found in his comedy, during which Ripper the Clown takes over.

Ripper the Clown had his first appearance in Aurelian’s novel, Dead Wrestlers, Broken Necks & The Women Who Screwed Me Over. At that point, Aurelian had no expectation that Ripper would become the full-fledged character that he is to-day. With only two lines of text dedicated to him during this first appearance, it’s fascinating to see how Ripper the Clown has since grown. His name appeared again in one of Aurelian’s 2012 novels, Living Well Is the Best Revenge, but this time as a stand-up comedian. Around that same time, Aurelian was working on a short story that he had originally intended to include in his book, We Leave with Our Guns Out!, which also incorporated Ripper the Clown as a comedian. Instead, Ripper the Clown joined Aurelian in the real world. “I

just had this weird epiphany that I’m not going to publish this story, but I’m going to go and perform it!” Aurelian said.

Subsequently, on Halloween of 2012, Aurelian got up on stage in his clown get up and performed material from his books. This marked the birth of Ripper the Clown as a real-life character, as well as Aurelian’s comedy career. “I could tell the audience was loving it, and I was just thinking to myself the whole time, ‘Okay, this has to continue. This can’t be a one shot deal as I’ve planned it. This is not just a Halloween thing. This is some-thing that I’m going to have to continue to do.’” Aurelian said.

Although he has inevitably encountered dis-couragement during his career as a comedian, Aurelian describes the local comedy scene as one that ultimately allows comics to have stage time, find their voice and experiment with their materi-als. He finds it an incredibly rewarding experience, even describing his relationships with several comedians as almost familial. These comedians include: Allen Lewis, Charlie Hester, Chris High-tower, Rich Castle, Rick Omundson, Rich Wentz,

Matt Sylvain and Andrew Voris. It wasn’t until a year later that Aurelian truly be-

came comfortable with his alter ego and realized the extent to which Ripper the Clown had his own identity. “In 2013, I went as Ripper for Halloween, and I had people coming up to me, not saying ‘cool costume,’ but ‘Who are you?’ and ‘What do you do?’” Aurelian said. “It was differentiated that this wasn’t a costume. It was that night that made me realize that I was becoming very comfortable with the character.” The makeup for Ripper the Clown is inspired by Aurelian’s good friend, Matt Borne, who played Doink the Clown for over two decades. “In the makeup, I’m paying respects to him and what he created and his inspiration in my life,” Aurelian said.

As a comedian, Ripper the Clown offers thoughtful, cerebral and always edgy performanc-es while also incorporating a healthy dose of the ridiculous and absurd. Diverging from the all-too-common crude and sexist humor in which many comedians these days indulge, Ripper the Clown delivers comedy sets that are refreshingly just the opposite. Listing classic comedians such as

Charlie Chaplin, Dick Van Dyke and John Belushi as some of his inspirations, Aurelian said, “Their work couldn’t be nasty or laden with foul language to get cheap laughs, and you know what... they got laughs with situational and relatable humor via their expressions and mannerisms.”

Aurelian hopes that Ripper the Clown can con-tinue to grow, as he sees mainstream potential in the character. Aurelian is open to the idea of his books being turned into movies or Ripper the Clown becoming a character on a TV show. Au-relian’s newest novel, The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown, won second place at the 2014 Hollywood Book Festival, a festival that honors books that the judges feel should be adapted to movies or TV shows. Aurelian’s novel Living Well Is the Best Revenge also won first place at the Hollywood Book Festival in 2013.

All of Aurelian’s books can be purchased on Amazon.

Ripper the Clown’s comedy performances can be found on YouTube on his channel, Ripperthe-clownshow. He is also active on Facebook at https://facebook.com/ripper.theclown.

HALLOWEEN SHOWS IN CUBY SEAN NEUMANN

ERROR RECORDS

One of the best Halloween shows this year is happening in downtown Champaign. That’s No Moon, who released their second full-length al-bum Hyperion earlier this year, will be headlining the night with support from Blackstone Rngrs and Jorts. The indie space-rock group hasn’t played much around CU this year, so it will be a treat to see them perform Friday night. Fans attending the show will be able to get in for just $3 if attending the event in a costume. The $3 offer is more than half the price for typical Mike 'N' Molly’s shows. Those attending without a costume will only have to pay $5. The show starts at 9 p.m.

THEE DEATHTOWER

Thee Deathtower, arguably one of the best DIY spaces in the Champaign-Urbana area, will be hosting four bands Friday night to celebrate Hal-loween. Hathaways kick off the night, while the music gets increasingly heavier throughout the show with following sets from Resinater, Airaco-bra and Los Assparados, who will be performing twice Friday night, heading to Thee Deathtower after their show at Error Records with Teenage Martians. The mixed punk, metal and indie pop show will be strange in the best way possible—a grab bag of the CU music scene on one of the most exciting musical nights of the year. Attend-ees are urged to dress in costume, of course. The show is slated to start at 10:30 p.m. and donations are encouraged. Looking for the address? Ask a punk or check out Thee Deathtower’s Facebook page for more information.

HIGHDIVE

If you’re looking to go out and have a club expe-rience on Halloween, DJ Delayney will be head-lining a night of electronic music at the HighDive in downtown Champaign. The CU DJ will have support from DJ Kosmo, DJ Wesjile and DJ Kow. The performances will run from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.

- Over in Urbana, Rami, Meccom, El.J, and Lloyd and Jun.Bug will be celebrating Halloween festivi-ties with a 10 p.m. show. Those looking to get into that show will get a discounted $10 price at the door if wearing a costume, while those without their Halloween attire will need $15.

COWBOY MONKEY

The local group will be performing at Cowboy Monkey in downtown Champaign for just $5 Fri-day night. The band will be joined by Kilborn Alley, who’s scheduled to play a mammoth two-hour set from 9:30-11:30 p.m. before The Curses take the stage for an hour and a half. Attendees are asked to not only come in costume but the “scariest costumes” they can find.

Stock up on rice, toilet paper and toast because the Rocky Horror Picture Show is returning to a big screen near you.
