Post by Alyssa_OOC on Oct 29, 2023 2:48:06 GMT
IC DETAILS:
WHO IS INVITED: Every known kindred (PC and NPC) in the Los Angeles area receives a carefully worded masquerade safe invitation from Amrita Watson and House Libertas. These invitations include the ghouls of the invited kindred as an extension of them, at the discretion of the regnant.
These invitations are delivered through various means that Amrita has for each character. For those without a known contact method that are not seen in person, invitations are left in the places the character is known to frequent such as The Asylum or even given to a trustworthy friend.
For note, characters may be stated to attend even if the player is unable to RP.
THE PARTY LOCATION: The party will be held at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, or at least the filming location for most of the indoor hospital scenes in Halloween II, Morningside Hospital in Inglewood.
THE DRESS CODE: Those who attend the party are asked to come in costume and IC help with costumes will be available beforehand. For those who wish help, costumes can be rented from the top costume shops in Los Angeles at no cost to the character if money is an issue. Special effects make-up is also available.
ARE ANIMALS ALLOWED: Animals are allowed but they must be controlled on a short leash or in their master's arms at all times around others. There will be a separate area designated as a play area for dogs and other creatures that get along with dogs. This area will be the only place where the animals are allowed to be loose. In addition to members of House Libertas, Emma Quinn of Clan Gangrel will be taking shifts helping look after the animals.
THE PREMIERE: Those who RSVP and attend will receive a special surprise gift of a ticket to the premiere of the movie ICly the following night. The premiere itself takes place at a theater in Hollywood. Baron Isaac Abrams has given his approval of the kindred gathering in Hollywood.
The premiere itself is unlikely to be RPed as characters will mostly be ICly watching the movie.
OOC DETAILS:
WHEN WILL RP BE: As many of us have plans for the holiday, this event is designed to allow people to RP when they have free time. RP will be occurring over multiple days the week following Halloween so that everyone has a chance to participate.
HOW MANY CHARACTERS: You will be able to have multiple characters in attendance, however you will have to pick one PC to actively RP at a time. The other characters are simply in another room etc at the time.
RP ETIQUETTE: We do ask that when you do RP that you can dedicate the time to respond in a reasonable amount of time so that others are not held up waiting on responses. Please have your character simply depart the area when you need to leave OOCly and do not say that it is getting close to dawn etc as RP will be occurring over multiple days.
RP LOCATION: RP will be occurring in the #morningside-hospital channel. During the event the channel will be located in the Special Event section at the top of the IC Channel listings. After the event is over, the channel will be relocated to the appropriate geographic section.

THE LOCATION:
PARTY LOCATION: The location for the party is the now (in 1981) closed Morningside Hospital which has been rented out in its entirety by House Libertas. Morningside Hospital served as a major location for the filming of Halloween II. Various areas of the hospital are decorated and used for different activities.
HADDONFIELD: Haddonfield, Illinois is a town located in Warren County and is the main setting of the Halloween franchise. The town today is a thriving community with a historical downtown area that offers residents tons of specialty shops, while large Victorian homes dot the rest of the area. Farms cover the outskirts of town. Haddonfield is located 150 miles from Smith's Grove Sanitarium.
HADDONFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL: Haddonfield Memorial Hospital is the local hospital within the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois. The hospital is the main setting for the 1981 film, Halloween II.
FILMING INTERIOR SCENES: The majority of the interior hospital scenes in Halloween II were filmed in Morningside Hospital. This includes the longer hallway corridor shots, the hospital rooms (aside from one that was rebuilt at the studio for the final fight), and the hospital morgue.
MORNINGSIDE HOSPITAL FACTS: Morningside Hospital was a 125-bed hospital located at 8711 South Harvard Boulevard, Los Angeles (now Inglewood), California. The facility opened in early 1958. An August 1980 Los Angeles Times article indicated that the closing date of Morningside would be September 15, 1980, citing financial losses and competition from larger hospitals. Its emergency room closed two weeks before the hospital itself.
Morningside was one of the filming locations for Halloween II (1981), Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), 10 to Midnight (1983) and V: The Final Battle (1984).
After its closure the hospital was abandoned and then demolished in 2003. That same year construction of the Harvard Yard Senior Apartments began on the former hospital site, with funding provided by the Los Angeles Housing Department.

THE REFRESHMENTS:
The cafeteria serves as the main party location with a number of tables set up with various refreshments for kindred and kine. There are plenty of tables for relaxing and conversation with tasteful black table cloths and bits of orange and purple in holiday centerpieces set up while still leaving a good deal of open space for games and dancing.
SNACK FOODS: There is an assortment of special snack foods with a fun Halloween holiday theme for those who are able to enjoy eating food.
Among those festive holiday foods present are the following treats:
Shrunken Potato Heads Stabbed Cupcakes Mini Bat Treats Bloody Deviled Egg Eyes Zombie Brain Cupcakes Bloody Punch With Frozen Hands Spider Web Cake Ghost Meringues Mini Pretzel Pumpkins Bloody Brain Cookies
If you would like to view close up pictures of these foods as well as simple directions for creating them, then check out "11 Scary Snacks to Take Your Halloween Party to the Next Level: Terrifyingly Simple Halloween Treats."
OTHER BEVERAGES: Besides the punch mentioned above there are an assortment of other drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
SPECIAL BLOOD WINE: There is also a very special beverage for the party that both the Kindred and Kine can enjoy drinking. It is a ritually brewed spiced oinos, an ancient Greek wine believed to have been created by the god Dionysus.
Mortals that consume this wine feel a pleasant drowsiness, vague ethereal happiness, and arousal, until they eventually lose consciousness and sleep for the remainder of the evening. They awake to vague pleasant memories, completely forgetting the details of everything that happened the night before.
Vampires and other supernatural creatures are unaffected by drinking this wine directly, as their blood is too potent to be overpowered by this concoction. However, vampires that feed from a mortal under the effects of the Oinos of Dionysus feel a similar effect, but not one that overpowers them or impairs them.
They feel a slight buzz — not strong enough to be considered intoxicated, but just enough to get a taste of nights when they still breathed and hungered for appetites other than blood. They feel an artificially inflated sense of happiness and remember nights when they were a mortal.
In an emergency, the vampire under these effects can expend a blood point to flush the toxin from her system.
AND THE BLOOD: There is a supply of stored mortal blood available that is well labeled for those with particular tastes. Herd members that enjoy the Kiss are also made available throughout the evening.
There will be a more private area of the hospital available for those who wish to engage in more intimate acts. All herd members that are provided and partake of the oinos have agreed to the possibility of engaging in those acts under the effect of the drink.
For those who do not wish to partake of blood supplied at the party, there is also the Bring Your Own Blood (BYOB) option allowed. It is requested that if non ghouled kine from others herds are brought that they partake of the oinos to help ensure that the events and conversations of the evening do indeed remain private.

THE ENTERTAINMENT:
Throughout the evening there will be a number of activities available to keep the guests entertained.
COSTUME CONTEST: The party guests were asked to come in costume. Throughout the evening they will have a chance to vote for their favorite costume.
To cast your vote(s) please post an entry in your "player-n-stuff" channel listing the name of the character that is voting as well as the character/costume which they are voting for.
CLASSIC HORROR MOVIE DISPLAYS: Located in various areas are displays set up of movie posters and assorted movie paraphernalia from classic horror movies arranged according to the movie. Also, featured in the cafeteria is a display for Halloween and Halloween II.
PARTY GAMES: Throughout the evening there will be an assortment of games going on which the guests may choose to participate in.
Murder Mystery: There will be a murder mystery game with performances and evidence to examine set up on a floor in one wing of the hospital.
Scavenger Hunt: Another floor will be the site of a scavenger hunt in which the participants will be divided into teams and find clues and solve riddles.
Monster Mash: The Monster Mash is a dancing game in which guests are put into pairs and given a sheet of newspaper. Each time the music stops, they will have to both get onto the paper keeping their balance. Those left standing will fold their papers in half and go another round until only one couple remains. This game gets more difficult as the evening goes on and guests have partaken of adult beverages.
Have You Learned Anything from a Horror Movie?: When watching a scary movie, how many times do you find yourself shouting at the screen ‘Don’t go in there’, ‘Don’t do that’ or one of countless other phrases as you see a characters impending danger minutes before they meet their demise? A lot! But what would you do in that situation? The guests will be divided into teams and then offered a situation to discuss and then answer what they would do. The team with the most creative horror movie based answer gets a point and whoever has the most points at the end is the winning team.
Trick or Treat?: This is a drinking game where players have to choose one shots at random. The 'trick' comes in as several of the shots have been replaced with something foul tasting such as vinegar, pickle juice or even Worcestershire sauce.
Creepy Charades: Keeping with the Halloween spirit, creepy charades adds a terrifying twist to what already is a classic party game. Guests must get into teams and take turns to be either the actor or the guesser. The actor must then decide on a Halloween related theme and act it out for the guesser to guess within a 3-5 minute time frame. A correct guess gives the team 1 point, with the winning team being the one with the most points at the end of the game.
Horror Movie Trivia: This is a variation on the standard Trivial Pursuit game where all of the questions are horror movie related. The
Most of these game ideas come from Smiffys: www.smiffys.com/blogs/hall/adult-halloween-party-games
MOVIE: Since the guests will be receiving tickets to attend the Halloween II (1981) movie premier the following night, there will be a viewing of Halloween (1978) during the party. A large conference room in the hospital has been set up with a massive projection screen and rows of recliners for the guests viewing comfort.
MUSIC: Throughout the evening there will be music playing in the cafeteria for the guests to listen to or even dance to. Notably, the Halloween (1978) movie soundtrack will be featured.
There will also be an assortment of Halloween Holiday themed songs and movie themes. Below is a collection of those songs... please note that those songs that came out after 1981 would not be included.

THE MOVIES:
HALLOWEEN (1978):
TV PREMIERE OF HALLOWEEN: October 30th, 1981 not only saw the theatrical debut of the highly anticipated Halloween II, but also the world television premiere of the 1978 Halloween. On October 30th, 1981, John Carpenter’s Halloween was included as part of NBC’s Friday Night at the Movies series and aired from 9-11pm EST.
Upon the major success of the independent film with audiences, NBC Universal bought the television rights for Halloween for a whopping (at the time) 3 million bucks and was eager to be the first to air it for the Samhain season. However, the FCC being what it is, wanted NBC to censor some of the film’s scenes, which ultimately led to the standard practice of editing down the movie for sensitive viewers but in the same act, shortening the allotted running time for said time slot.
After much debate, Carpenter agreed to shoot extra scenes for the televised version. Twelve minutes of additional and extended scenes were shot during the filming of Halloween II.
FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES INTRO: The television premiere began with a promo for the movie complete with the “parental discretion advised” warning which only made many kids all the more determined to watch it.
THE WONDERFUL 1981 COMMERCIALS:
THE PROMO FOR HALLOWEEN II:
THE ENTIRE 1981 HALLOWEEN (1978) TV BROADCAST: Unfortunately neither of these links will let you watch directly on this page but you can go to the YouTube or Internet archive page to watch the TV version with ads.
THE 1981 HALLOWEEN (1978) TV VERSION (MOVIE ONLY): Unfortunately the TV Version without the adds is also age restricted and you cannot watch it on this page but you can watch it on YouTube directly.
HALLOWEEN (1978) THEATRICAL VERSION:
HALLOWEEN II (1981):
Picking up exactly where it's predecessor left off, Halloween II follows "boogeyman" Michael Myers as he stalks the deserted halls of the hospital where his intended victim (Jamie Lee Curtis) lays waiting. Meanwhile, his doctor (Donald Pleasence) desperately continues to hunt him down.
THE 1985 HALLOWEEN II (1981) TV VERSION:

AMRITA WATSON AMRITA'S COSTUME: Amrita has chosen to dress up as The Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. Her dress is not identical to the one in the movie but perhaps more another interpretation of the character from the book. Besides the full black witch outfit, Amrita has covered all of her exposed skin in film industry grade green makeup.
MATCHING COSTUMES: Amrita has recruited a couple of others to wear matching costumes. Naitee (the fish-squirrel) and Blue (the Belgian Malinois) are both with her for the costume competition but Blue spends most of the evening relaxing in the animal area. Naitee spends most of the night climbing on Amrita.
NAITEE AND BLUE
THE FLYING MONKEYS: Naitee and Blue are dressed up in cute little pet costumes as two of the Witch's flying monkies.
