New Member Introduction

[The Phantom]

Hello, everyone,

My name is Zachary, but you all can call me Phantom if you wish. Halloween has been my favorite holiday ever since I was a little kid. I guess this totally makes sense as an actor, I day where I get to be someone else. Also, my Mom is a costume designer, so my brother and I always had the best costumes in the neighborhood. My mom has passed this skill on to me and I love turning out new costumes each year.

I love decorating. In fact, I collect vintage Halloween decorations. Old Beistle die cuts and Telco Motion-ettes are some of my all time favorites.

Another little fun fact for you all: I play Frank N. Furter in the shadow cast of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW here at my university.

Welcome, Phantom!!

Please do not get confused if you get an occasional off-the-wall reply or flat-out insult, as we have another miscreant, er, member named MacPhantom, to whom those are aimed.

[Spookymufu]

welcome Zachary!

[TheCostumer]

Welcome Zachary.

I enjoy costuming too!

This year I will costume as An Ugly Duchess. You can see my picture in Costume Chat - Me As A Creepy Duchess.

Being from the Mardi Gras City my costumes have been more historical and period types (Washington, Ben Franklin, French Aristocrat, Roman Centurian, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Wolfgang A. Mozart, A Grandmother, A Friar and A Colonial Tradesman.

I have been adding some Halloween/Horror type costumes as well such as Merlin The Magician, An Evil Warlock and The Ugly Duchess.

Since you are in theatrics, I also costume as Charley's Aunt from the play and the film.

For fun I am developing Martha Stewart as one of my characters costumed in various outfits including her famous poncho.

For long term development: A King and Fu Man Chu.

Hope to discuss costumes with you in the future.

Enjoy the forum.

By Charley's Aunt, are you referring to the musical, "Where's Charley?" Ray Bolger is my idol and childhood hero. He inspired me to play the Scarecrow in several productions of "The Wizard of Oz" as well as become the Official Scarecrow for the Wizard of Oz Festival.

[TheCostumer]

yes Zachary. Ray Bolger in Where's Charley.

I was able to get a copy of the film version which has not been made available on DVD as of yet.

Here I am as Charley's Aunt.

You could remedy that by transferring it to DVD...and sharing...

Oh COME ON!!! I'm gone for a few days, and y'all replace me with a newer, younger model?!? Phantom Version 2.0?!? It's cause he's got better scars, isn't it?! Can this one eat haggis?!? Can he fit an "Andy is old" joke into every post?!? Does he even own ANY chihuahuas?!?!

Hey New Guy! Been through the initiation yet? You have to watch an entire week of Glen Beck's show with Spooky! You have to make Witchy a Margarita! You have to help Andy find his dentures! You have to go drinking with iHaunt, and wind up half naked in a cemetery at four in the morning, and then post pictures so ilovemichelmyers and listeningeyes can laugh and throw beer cans at you!


Only kiddin', fella. Welcome to the forum! Your costume rocks!!

[Andybev01]

"Phantom Version 2.0" would be a great name for a band.

A band, or a rectal thermometer. Either or.

[Spookymufu]

You have to watch an entire week of Glen Beck's show with Spooky!

No No No, not Glen beck.....Bill O'reilly....I dont watch Beck......or Hannity

[Andybev01]

Riiiight, I'm betting we see Spooky at the Lincoln Memorial next week.

[MacPhantom]

I'm sure he'll be there honoring the Dream of Dr. King.

[Spookymufu]

Oddly enough, if I could go and didnt mind crowds I would go

[Andybev01]

I'm sure he'll be there honoring the Dream of Dr. King.

...and standing 2 flights above Mr. Beck...
