Halloween Korean Style

On Monday and Tuesday, we celebrated Halloween at the hokwon. I dressed up like a vampire (because that's what they gave me as a costume) and Carly dressed up like a witch (because that's what they gave her as a costume.)
We spent both days cooped up in the haunted house room, which consisted of a big curtain that covered two sides of the room. I would wait inside one of the curtains and come out and scare the kids. More often than not, I would get laughed at and punched in the face. (I was wearing a really silly mask. The other kids who were working in the haunted house stole the good evil monkey one. Bastards.)
Carly was hiding in a cardboard box at the end of the haunted house. She would pop out and shine a red laser pointer under her face. She would get some scares, and, on occasion, get assaulted and have to take refuge inside her box. The Korean children tend to have violent reactions to things. One of the Korean teachers was grabbing them through the curtain to scare them, and she got punched in the face.
So, basically, we were stuck in a dark room for 4.5 hours, or 9 hours if you want to cover both days. Additionally, the teachers thought it would be cool to use real pig skin, pig intestines, and squid eyeballs for the "feel the monster's body parts" game. I think they missed the point. But it didn't stop the kids from ripping their hands out of the box prematurely and spraying the lovely juice all over (me).
It was fun when we were released from our entombment to go mingle with the kids. They had been playing the mummy wrappin game in another room, so they were full of energy. Being in a "villainous" costume, I had to have many a showdown with the kids dressed up as heroic characters. I fended off many a plastic sword in the name of the undead.
