And the winners of our 1st Annual Manic Moviegoer Costume Contest is…

Ian Austin and Libby Cudmore, for their wonderfully crafted costumes of the Maitlands from Beetlejuice. Congratulations to you, the winners of a $50.00 gift card to Fandango!

According to Ian, it took him six hours to make each mask, but to be quite honest, I don’t know how I would have done anything nearly as awesome in less than six decades, so he’s obviously very talented and I can’t thank him enough for submitting this picture to us. Please enjoy the gift card, and as an added bonus, we would like to allow you both the opportunity to review a movie of your choice to be posted here at ManicMoviegoer.com, complete with links to your own respective blogs and/or web sites, should you wish to include any.

And just like that, as quickly as it had come, Halloween is now behind us. Parents everywhere are boxing up their decorations. Children are making candy angels on their bedroom floors. And Wilson should be posting bail right about now for that overly realistic Jason impersonation, where he pulled out a real chainsaw on a group of unsuspecting trick-or-treaters (and one police officer that he thought was in costume). We hope each and every one of you had a fun and safe Halloween, and we look forward to next year when we host our 2^nd Annual Manic Moviegoer Costume Contest. But it’s not too early to think about who you’re going to be!
