In this new special episode of Laughing Historically, we are joined by special guest Maven of the Eventide to tell the tragic story of Bram Stoker and how he created Dracula from shady gypsy tales and historic party-animal Vlad The Impaler.
It may be a little Halloweeny as we intended to release it weeks ago, but thanks to Hurricane Sandy taking my internet and power away, here it is. Its still fresh, I swear!

My favorite picture of Zara and my Ghostbusters II costumes!
Full post about how I made the glowy Proton Pack with lots of pictures here. Posted it later last night, so I don’t know how many actually saw it…

This year for Halloween, Zara and I decided to do Ghostbusters II, which gave me the perfect excuse to finally build a proton pack and googles. Built over about four days on and off out of mostly dollar store items and foam core, I think I finally out did myself in Halloween costume construction. The internet pulled through with countless plans and tips, but I’m pretty proud of figuring out how to make the “cyclotron”(red lights) “power cell” (blue light), and neutona wand (gun) all glow/flash. The internet also taught me that many things have names.
Walking around in the hordes last night was also a blast. I have never been yelled at more in my life. Some of the best moments:
- The large group of drunken people who started singing the theme song “da da da-da DA da”
- The man on the train who said “Man, that Proton Pack is gonna get you laid tonight!” who then began to petition to become my wingman next year if I built him one.
- The group of guys who came up to me saying, “that’s incredible. That’s the kinda shit you bring to Comic-Con not halloween!”
And people doubt the popularity for a third movie…

It says volumes that the first thing I thought when seeing this ad was:
“the Proton-Pack is upside down!!!!”

The thing I realized this morning is that commuting into work in NYC dressed as the 11th Doctor, I could just as easily be just any massive hipster going to work in a bow tie, tweed jacket, rolled jeans. Full/better pics coming soon.
