Tue, Oct 20, 2009 (3:27 p.m.)
Puscifer
Instead of vampire gear, you wear: Shaved head, dark sunglasses, cowboy hat. Avoid direct eye contact.
Instead of "trick or treat" you say: "V is for Vagina." If you're feeling polite, opt for the remixed version, "V is for Viagra."
Instead of Snickers, you'll get: The snacks Maynard James Keenan promised last time at the Pearl and never delivered.
Slipknot
Instead of vampire gear, you wear: Disturbingly clown-like mask, jumpsuit. Have eight friends dress exactly the same.
Instead of "trick or treat" you say: "People = shit."
