This Halloween, Dress as Your Favorite Park Slope Celebrity! 

Halloween is almost upon us, FiPSters! If you're still searching for a costume and have decided against going as an Internet Meme (I'm curious to know how people are going to transform themselves into Binders Full of Women, btw), here are some Park Slope-friendly recommendations that come in the form of our favorite local celebrities and their most costume-worthy movie roles. Because what would be greater than strolling down 7th Avenue on Halloween night, bumping into John Turturro and listening as he gushes that you're the "best goddamned looking Jesus" that he's ever seen.

Make this year's halloween costume from local vintage store items!

If you stayed home, you probably had one trick-or-treater like I did (who was handsomely rewarded with an Atkins Chocolate Chip granola bar)… then ate all the entire bucket of candy yourself and watched Jamie Lee Curtis not die in the original Halloween movie.

And here we are…stuck with a headache/stomach ache, owning a shitty costume and living with a stoop full of more decorative gourds than you can shake a stick at. What the hell do we do now?

Does Park Slope Have a Halloween-lovin' Griswold Family?

After peeping the above photo I felt absolutely inadequate about my own Halloween decorations, which always include a single bag of "decorative" candy corn (which I devour on the morning of November 1st), and a string of shitty pumpkin lights hung listlessly above the refrigerator. FiPS reader Steve recently wrote in with this photo and a note about a Park Slope brownstone that goes above and beyond when it comes to Halloween decor:
