This year was out of control.
When I was a child I used to go to this place called Crystal's Pizza. It was a magical place full of miscellaneous oddities such as a "study" room full of books with a fish tank coffee table you would eat on, a movie theatre room you could eat in, a live singer/piano player in the "dining" room, loads of video games... And, on the way out there was one machine that always caught my eye. It was a little frightening, a little terrifying, and I liked it. It was ZOLTAR! Most people know him from the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks. It's a fortune teller in a box. Completely mechanical, completely chance fortunes, but he was going to make you pay. A dollar to be exact.
So, this year I decided I would become ZOLTAR. It's probably my most epic costume of my life. I will never top this one. I have reached the height of my Halloween years, and I will probably have to retire after this. But it was worth it. I hit up a party on Friday and Saturday night and won "Best Costume" at both.
How it worked was like this:
1. Put dollar in dollar slot (provided to the left)
2. Wait for Zoltar to respond
3. Zoltar will read your mind
4. Zoltar will choose your favorite candy and then deposit it through the candy slot
5. Zoltar is never wrong. If you don't think Zoltar chose the right candy, it is because you have been repressing your true candy urges.
6. Have a Happy Halloween
