Happy Halloween 2013 From The Batcave Toy Room

This weeks League of Shadows assignment...Whoops! I mean this weeks League of Extraordinary Bloggers assignment asked us to do a photo story on our hometowns goings on for Halloween.

So, here's a look at what's happening in Fabulous Las Vegas.

It's cool that several of my neighbors go all out for All Hallows Eve, but for us we're a little bit more simple.

I am looking forward to the haunts going on the night of 10/31. I know my daughter is really going to crazy love it. Last year she was just getting the idea of it all and didn't want to stop. This year we're probably going to have a long night.

You can see my daughter hiding behind the pumpkin she's about to carve. We had a blast.

Here we're waiting in line to take on the giant 50 foot slide at one of our local pumpkin patches. The Vegas patches are in dirt lots. I long to visit a real down home feeling pumpkin patch one day.

My biggest thrill this year however is going to be my daughter dressing as Batgirl. Although, she insists she's Batman despite my insistence that Batman does not wear a tutu.

I wish I had shots from the Zombie walks and runs or even any Cosplayers dream the Fetish and Fantasy Ball, but I didn't make it out to any of those events this year. Anyway, on behalf of the Batcave Toy Room have a safe and insane Halloween.

Happy Halloween from The Batcave Toy Room 2011

John and Claire say Trick or Treat from the Batcave Toy Room. Claire is actually going to be a lady bug for Halloween, but she still loves hanging out in the toy room with Daddy. Including Daddy's Batman masks.

Happy Halloween From The Batcave Toy Room!

I was interested in finding out that Taylor Swift has a bit of the Geek in her. Here's a pic of her dressed up as Chewbacca one Halloween. I guess all of her other friends were dressing in sexy version of costumes and she wanted to do something different. She loved being able to run around and do crazy things and no one knew it was her.

I'd Just as Soon Bite a Wookie! Leia Goes Vamp

I have to admit that female vampires are so hot to me...no matter what genre they're in. I came across this depiction of Princess Leia as a vampire and it gave me curious stirrings in my utility belt.

Lucasfilm has an annual Halloween party that is highly anticipated by the employees. There is a whimsical invitation that goes out every year to ILM staff and Lucasfilm insiders.

2009's invitation (seen above) depicted Leia as a pulp magazine vamp and was created by ILM designer Harrison Parker. A reproduction of the invitation is limited to 300 pieces and available at StarWars.com

I wonder if it comes in a slave girl version too? :-p

How to Build a Life Sized Batmobile Tumbler.

It seems most Bat Fans I know prefer the George Barris 1966 version of the Batmobile. But if you love all styles of the Dark Knights crime fighting vehicle or prefer the new Christian Bale version, here's how to put together one for yourself as a display model.

I came across the site Instructables on how to make a life sized Batmobile Tumbler and Batman Themed Halloween Display and thought it was pretty clever. The articles explains it's so simple an average Joe can put it together, which is good for me as you wouldn't know I am my Father's son. I am only handy when I need to be.

The author, Jerry Jodloski did it as a Halloween Display last year. It came complete with an animated Batman, a Bat Signal, Batman themed music, Bat sound effects, and his wife Heather dressed as Batgirl. Check it out. It's pretty cool. I wonder if my wife would let me do this for Halloween this year?
