Muppet College Roommates

[The Count]

Well, I sent you a message through the MC forum's mailer yesterday with the ideas for the elements for the background. And I sent you three different messages titled "Muppet Halloween Costume Ideas" this morning to muppetkyle@msn.com. Is this address correct? Could send you the idea messages again through the forum mailer, though I hope you got the one with the background ideas. If not, let me know and I'll send you those ideas again.
Hope you got the messages and have read them for a grand Halloween scene, and have a haunted day.

Where did you get that poem from?
That's more of what we need for this Halloween!
Have a haunted day!

There was a thread on alt.fan.pratchett some time ago about the different breeds of haggis, and the best way to catch them, and a couple of people posted the poem.

The full thread is here, if you're interested: http://www.ie.lspace.org/fandom/afp/timelines/haggis.html


I quite like haggis, although it can be tough to catch the little swine...

OK, let's review the goings-on so far.

1 The formhouse looks more like a spooky castle, check.
2 There are two grinning jack o'lanterns placed at the ends of the marble steps outside the main doors to the dormhouse.
3 There are three lovely gargoyle girls perched atop the dormhouse's roof's ledge, turned to stone now during the day of course.
4 There are paper or cardboard bats hanging from the ceilings of the hallways on all three floors of the dorms.
5 There's a grand pipe organ installed in the Floor 3 common room, which plays itself explaining why Zack's been hearing it playing in the middle of the night though noone's there.
6 There are magically lighting candles placed at the ends of the hallways in special holders found or placed there. The candles only light up at night once all the other dormhouse's lights have been turned off.
7 There's an ominous storm cloud surrounding the sides of the dormhouse, deciding of its own accord when to rain, shoot forth lightning, and/or when to sound off with rumbling thunder.
8 There are small spiderwebs hanging from the corners of the hallway windows, the ones placed at the ends of the hallway looking outwards from the inside of the dormhouse, and a few others placed throughout the common rooms for effect.

Good, everything's going as planned! Got a few other surprises in store for the decor, but those can wait. Hmmm, better look into borrowing the witches' Black Cauldron for the party on the 31st.
Hope this helps and have a haunted day!

Oh, and don't forget to start getting your costumes for the party!

When it rains it pours! Remember to bring your umbrellas, if you're going outside today! The storm clouds around the dormhouse decided to let their watery payloads loose on the dormhouse grounds.

So, in the meantime, now that the rain's dyed down for the moment, I'll use this time to give you guys a glance at the costume ideas I sent Kyle (Erine81981) for a Muppety Halloween picture he's working on.
Hope this helps and have a haunted day.

Here's the first batch of ideas for the TMS characters he wanted.

Costume Ideas for Kyle

Sorry I had to leave you guys for a while. There was an annoying little glitch in my computer's system, so I had to shut down for a while. But now I'm back and ready to share the costume ideas I sent Kyle with the rest of the dorm on this rainy and spooky Shocktober night.
TMS Halloween Characters.
1 Kermit The Frog: The Swamp Beast, with some moss plants strewn about his body.
2 Miss Piggy: The Witch, like as depicted in Dr. Bombay's avatar, but with black evening gloves and black strapless dress and shoes.
3 Fozzie Bear: The Mummy, wrapped up in bandages but with his ears and eyes and nose showing.
4 Gonzo the Great: Quasimodo, with a haunched back and one of his eyes closed shut, possibly holding a big bell in his arms.
5 Floyd Pepper: The Zombie, with black tattered clothes and dark grayish coat, black rings around his eyes or glasses, and holding a slate gray base guitar.
6 Animal: The Wraith, with flames around his head, burning red eyes, and dark leather jacket attached to his spiked collar and bracelets as well as dark leather jeans.
7 Janice: The Banshee, with white hair, blue fingernails, a gauzy ghostly body, teardrops under her eyes or on her cheeks giving her a "wet" look, and carrying a light gray-blue lead guitar.
8 Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: Dr. Victor von Frankenstein, with his journal logbook, dark brownish labcoat, and electric apparatus.
9 Beaker: The Invisible Man, with his body completely clear or invisible, dark shades worn over his eyes, and wearing a black business man's wardrobe.
10 Robin the Frog: The Skull, just draw Robin placed inside a skull with his eyes behind the eyeholes.
11 Sweetums: The Ogre, with his massive log club and wearing a dark brown shirt over his massive body with maybe a bit of blood spattered on its white sleeves.

Costume Ideas for Kyle 2

Oh, and here are the ideas for another batch of characters Kyle wants in his Halloween pictures.
SS Halloween Characters.
1 The Count von Count: The Vampire Lord, just have the Count in his trademark garb but with perhaps a white shirt and black coat and pants and shoes instead of dark gray ones.
2 Countess Dahling von Dahling: The Vampire Lady, just have her in her classic garb, but with a blood red dress reaching down to her black shoes.
These two could be placed at the doorway of the haunted house receiving their trick-or-treating guests to the Halloween party. A couple of bats could also be drawn hovering this duo.
3 Big Bird: The Griffin, just give him massively large white eagle's wings and a furry brown lion's bodylike clothing, and he'll be perfect for the part.
4 Snuffy: The Storm Cloud, you could have Snuffy dressed in either a light gray storm cloud or a white puffy cloud, as paying tribute or taking an idea from a specifically-referenced episode. This idea comes from an episode from Season 31 where Snuffy was dressed up as a white cloud for a play he was going to be in at Snufflegarden.
5 Ernie: The Pirate, just dress him up with a pirate captain's hat, eyepatch, pirate's clothes, a beard along the lower rim of his face, and a pegleg.
6 Bert: The Gnome, just dress him up with a pointy or dwarvish cap, sideburns or a little goatee, medieval clothing, a leather pouch along his waist, and brown loaferlike shoes.
7 Bruno: The Frankenstein Monster, give him the Frankenstein monster's clothes and a couple of neckbolts on the sides of his neck and he'll be perfect.
8 Oscar the Grouch: Igor, the Bella Lugosie version. Oscar would travel in his trashcan carried by Bruno. So it would be perfect for Oscar to play this cantankerous version of Igor with the broken neck, scruffy hair or fur, and dirty tattered villager peasant's clothes.
9 Prairie Dawn: The Pixy, just give her a shimmering golden dress, two fairy wings, a little wand and she's perfect.
10 Herry Monster: The Werewolf, just give him a muzzle with pointy fangs and dark brownish fur with a wolfish build over his own body, and he's perfect.
11 Grover Monster: The Black Cat, just give him pointy cat's ears and black cat's fur with a feline build over his own, and he's perfect.
12 Cookie Monster: The Abominable Snowman, or Snowmonster as the case may be. Just make Cookie's eyes a little duller whitish color, make his fur a lighter shade of blue, and give his fur twinges of white iced effects throughout his body, and he's perfect.

Costume Ideas for Kyle 3

And here's the last group of ideas I sent Kyle for his Halloween Muppets collage. Hope you guys like them as much as I did when I was suggesting them to Kyle as possibilities worth pursuing for his pictures. Have a haunted night!
FR Halloween Characters.
1 Mokey Fraggle: The Bride of Frankenstein, just give her a flowing white dress, leave her radish pendant around her neck, and change her hair to a slightly darkened black with the two streaks of silvery white down the sides of her hair, and she's perfect. Of course, you could always reject this idea and have her dressed as Dracula's Daughter with a bat pendant instead of a radish one, but that's up to you.
2 Boober Fraggle: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, this is one that would work best given Boober's alternate personality, Sidebottom Fraggle. You could have Boober dressed up as a medical doctor holding a bottle of greenish switch-change potion, and then have him starting to change to his alterego, Sidebottom, who in this case would be his Mr. Hyde, by drawing the wisps of Sidebottom's red manelike hair around the top of Boober's head or cap.
3 Wembley Fraggle: The Frog Creature, just have Wembley dressed up in a frog costume and he'll be perfect. This idea was taken from the episode where Uncle Matt sends Gobo a pet frog and Wembley dresses up as a frog to capture it again after it was let loose from its jar.
4 Red Fraggle: The Witch Doctor or Shamaness, just have her wearing a scary African-styled mask, holding a shaking rattle, and give her a darkk brown dress or robe with reddish squares or squiggles as a pattern, and she'll be perfect. This idea was taken from the episode where everybody's part of a secret tribal society except for Mokey who wants to join cause she loves their mysterious tribal ways and mystique, but it turns out to be a big joke and everybody's part of the club wearing such styled masks.
5 Gobo Fraggle: The Cave Bat, dress him with a dark brown jacket, attach two bat's ears to the top of his head, and give him a pair of long brown bat's wings, and he'd be perfect. This creature is also known as the Phantom Bat, at least to me it is as I got this creature from Castlevania 1.
6 Uncle Travelling Matt Fraggle: The Skeleton, since he's an outer space explorer and looks like he'd be at home at archaeological digs, just give him a skeletal bone-built frame over his own body, and he'd be perfect.
7 Sprocket the Dog: The Hound of the Baskervilles, just give him a couple of pointy fangs and a phantom jet-black cloaklike blanket over his body, and he'd be perfect.
