Show CULTURE B3 Dracula Costume Guide |f Want goes radio 09, classical? By J i m m y Hall Culture Writer Unless you've been living under a rock, the character and story of Dracula is something familiar to you, if only through spoofs, modem movies or cartoons. But are you familiar with a radio play? Back in the ages where contemporary media could only be transferred through radio waves, radio plays were a way of telling stories through only voices and sound effects. How's that sound? Almost like an audio book? Maybe boring? Don't judge too quickly. Mortal Fools Theatre Project, which has a mission to "produce the great works of world drama and literature," is taking on the task of presenting the classic tale of the blood-thirsty Count Dracula in this Orson Wellesstylized entertainment medium. UVU's Assistant Theater Professor Christopher Clark, who previously directed another great and broadly acclaimed vampire story, Nosferatu, is directing the production. Welles originally told this tale of Dracula in 1938, the same year that he stirred fear and panic in the hearts of America with his epic retelling of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. Dracula targets a collegeaged audience. While it can also appeal to those 10 and above, it will not be holding back any horrific elements from Bram Stoker's classic. Mortal Fools will be using a six piece cast of theatre students and professional actors to provide the characters' voices and sound effects, which also include the accompaniment of a violin and an accordion. •™ By Mindy Harward Culture Editor ! 't To give the hour-long experience more of a visual aspect, original artwork of the story's action will be projected on a screen to help tell the gruesome story. The week before Halloween, the scene is set at the Castle in Provo to lend the story an appropriately eerie atmosphere. Clark, when asked about the appeal of this particular production, said that the intrigue comes from "taking a story that everyone knows and presenting it in a new way no one has seen." Dracula promises to be fun, chilling, witty and as unconventional as can be. Bring yourself and a date up to the Castle this Halloween week to experience a classic tale in a brand new way.

Dress me up before we go-go By K e y r a K r i s t o f f e r s e n Culture Writer As Joss Whedon's great horror character Buffy the Vampire Slayer remarked, Halloween is u*come as you aren't night." Oct. 31 is once again upon us, the first of the waist-expanding end-of-theyear holidays, which, considering the sexy outfits, is not free of irony. All Hallow's Eve has become a night of frolic and daring, and the fun begins months in advance for some — and not just the costume companies. My own brother at 24-years-old lives by the credo of The Nightmare before Christmas, lamenting that once one Halloween is over, he has only 364 days left to create a whole new costume. I myself have some old standbys, but last year thought to shake it up and bought a whole new witch's outfit. I then proceeded to justify a 28-year-old trickor-treating by carrying my cat through the neighborhood, explaining that it was her first year out. This tactic produced many sugary profits from the streets of Sugarhouse. My crotchety old cat, of course, was less than thrilled to be hauled anywhere near shrieking kids, howling winds and moaning feline rivals. When it comes to costume ideas, the gloves come off. Billy Atsitty, a senior majoring in Psychology, says she plans to go as a mob boss "'cuz I run dis shizz!" Her roommate, Brittini Shorty, a junior Psychology major, will join the pantheon of Greek gods as Athena, minus the owl, since owls, according to Shorty, spell "bad juju with Native Americans." While many students had no idea even two weeks prior as to what they would be dressing up as, they were still sure it would be something. One girl said she and her sisters dress to match. This year they are ninjas; a few years ago it was as farm animals. Now that is original. Of course, there are the classic witches, ghosts. Power Rangers and sexy love kittens. Some things never go out of style — except, perhaps, that purple Telerubby costume. But just because they're classics doesn't mean that you can't put a new twist on it. If you're going to be a ninja, wear a real sword and appear as if from nowhere, especially in front of people texting while they walk. If you're going as Mario or Luigi, always a popular idea, carry around some brightly colored mushrooms to show off to friends. No, don't do that. Just wear the raccoon ears and tail.
