Next Stop, Booo-ristanet!

UPDATE: Due to snow and falling branches, Booo-ristanet has been postponed until tomorrow night, Sunday Oct. 30, from 6 to 10 p.m.

Alice has never looked so hot and yes we are shamelessly dangling this picture of your favorite Barista Pets editrix to give you an idea of just what a smoking hot party Booo-ristanet is going to be!

And who is that studly Disco Swami in the turban and chains? Why, none other than our own Frank GG, who will be bringing the famous Studio 54 personality Rollerena as our special celebrity guest for the evening.

Yes, Booo-ristanet is almost here. And we’re not going to let one or two snowflakes dampen what will undoubtedly be the party of the year.

The Great and Powerful Holly has been busy laying detail after detail to create a party just dripping with fun and horror. (I personally had a Dollar Store shopping list that read like a Stephen King scavenger hunt).

We now have $1,500 in fabulous gift certificates to hand out for various reasons. Best Costume, Best Duette and Naughtiest. There are two different horror movie trivia contests, so study up. And here’s one prize you can win by simply doing good: just bring a non-perishable item of food for the Human Needs Food Pantry.

We’ll have a DJ spinning all kinds of tunes (let us know what you want to dance to in comments), hairstylists from Bangz to help you get your Medusa on — for free. (Just give them a little tip). And — if you dare! — there’s a tarot reader to see what your future has in store, for just $5 or $10, depending on the length of your reading.

Plus passed hors d’oeuvres and — we almost forgot — all kinds of Holly “Name That Drinks” at the bar. Speaking of which, this is a 21-and-older party only.

It’s not too late to buy your $10 advance ticket here, or we’ll see you at the door ($15). It all starts at 8 p.m. tomorrow night, Saturday, Oct. 29, at Montclair Station, 275 Bellevue Ave., Upper Montclair.

Need more enticement? How about this slideshow of all the things Holly’s prepared after the jump.

Fixed, thank you!

Smoking hot? If it were really hot it would be flaming hot, or white hot. But smoke? Who needs smoke? Smoke is what you get when you go to visit the in-laws.

Awesome; Duran Duran and other 80s bands would be great.

Can we pretend it’s a bridal shower and play: It’s raining men, Brick House, Super Freak, You Spin Me Round, What a Feeling, I Will Survive, Don’t Stop Moving, Finally, Don’t Stop the Music, with some Chaka Khan and Salt-N-Pepa thrown in.

I could go on.

You’ll need to blast some bumpin’ 90s beats, as Georgette basically challenged me to a dance-off via email this afternoon.

CHALLENGE!!! Jenn Schiffer!

Wow, gotta say, I am impressed with all the hard work that you have already put into this, Holly!

As for music, let’s pretend it’s 1984 and we’re at The Dirt Club or The Loop Lounge…nuff said!

I wish I could go, I’m sure it’s going to be a blast!

Sounds to me kind of like that “Masque” Prince Prospero threw for his guests while the plague raged outside, in the famous Poe story.

I’m especially curious about the guest list. Walleroo making a public appearance? Croiagusanam in polite company, perhapos even making nice with herb? Spiro T. leaving his book lined study to attend in costume? Pictures post-event, please.

The only plague that will rage outside will be the predicted (how they’re wrong!) snow!

Iceman, I think we’re from the same era.

Ah the Dirt Club and the Loop Lounge (and Aldo’s) I used to frequent there many years ago too.
I used to host a Halloween Witches’ Ball and Kristin’s music choices sound about right. Fun stuff!

Okay, let’s get down to it: “I put a Spell on You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (Stephen’s little known brother). “One-eyed, One-horned, Flyin’ Purple People Eater” by Sheb Wooley, and “The Monster Mash” of course: not Boris Pickens’ version, but maybe the one by Bobby and the Crypt-Kickers. Extra points if you can find the version that Vincent Price monotoned. And, of course, “Bad Moon Risin’” and “Moondance.” Anyone here remember Zacherley, the TV horror movie host from “the dank, wet swamps of New Jersey?” Speaking of which…
