Upcoming Dates:
Timasomo Showcase Thread -- Saturday, November 5
Technically all work should be finished before November 1st (but if you're running up on time, that's never really been a hard deadline 😉).
November 1-4 are for putting finishing touches on the project to ready it for the showcase. If you need an idea of what the Showcase thread will look like, here's last year's.
Next Saturday will be the showcase where we all get to show off what we've made!
Update us on your progress so far!
What did/didn't you get done this week?
Anything go according to plan?
Anything go off the rails?
Any successes or struggles to share?

What's your Halloween story?

Have you been properly spooked? Did you acquire a fear of a procession of mummies coming to pluck a hair from you each night to teach you about conservationism?
Do you have any annual traditions you follow? Haunted houses, straw mazes, or cider making? Do you or an acquaintance go all-out with decorating?
Do you have horror movie marathons? For fun, or to put on your Mary Shelley hat to look at horror as capturing a zeitghost like Them! for nuclear war, slasher films for rising crime, or Us for class issues? (Leprechaun's bi allergory is an outlier)
Do you have a favorite costume, or future costume idea? A shambling uncanny valley girl, group human obstacle course, ensemble of 3/7 dwarves, or reverse trick-or-treat grandparent?

I don't think this has been much of an issue so far with this community, but I expect that with time people will be more and more likely to not read the linked article before commenting. We've become so primed in general to consume information on the Internet in a way that makes us feel overconfident in our understanding based on just a few details, that I think it would be useful to have a soft reminder to actually read and engage with the things you're responding to instead of offering a "hot take".
