So, can you really win a contest if you're the only contestant?
It's what happened to Natalie.
We went to an Obsession movie event and was the only one to show up in character.

If you've never seen the movie Obsession, it's basically about a guy who makes a wish that his co-worker will love him more than anyone else in the world. And it all goes terribly wrong.
It made over 500 million at the box office and was made for under 1 million. So yeah, it resonated with many people.
But back to the contest. There was one the day before, Saturday, and many showed up. But Sunday? Natalie was the only one who walked around in fake blood and wounds made with latex. Did she get double takes? Yes. Someone asked if she was okay in a wobbly voice as though she were worried there was a murderer in our midst.
Anyhow, since she took the time to dress up, Kings of Horror, the people behind the event, gave her the 1st place prize.
And one of those prizes included meeting Darin Toonder, who played Harry the shopkeeper in the film.
He was the nicest guy. You can always tell when someone is eager to meet fans, and he certainly was. We watched him interact with so many for long periods of time.
That's Natalie holding the One Wish Willow that caused all the craziness in the film.
And she even filmed something for social media and had a blast doing it. Her theatre classes are coming into play.

She even got an autograph, which she will cherish. He signed it with a line from the movie ("It is too early"), which pertains to her life in college. Her alarm goes off at 7 AM on Monday and Wednesday, and she is NOT a morning person.
And that's not it! She got a bag full of goodies. Kings of Horror is truly the kindest people.

Their next event is Mallrats, where Kevin Smith will be there! Plus other Jay & Silent Bob actors. It's September 5th and 6th!
So have you seen Obsession yet? If not, it's streaming on Peacock!

I have not seen the movie yet but I've heard so much about it. Natalie looks great & it's so awesome that she got to meet him & get all those goodies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story. I love how a costume contest can turn into such a memorable experience, especially when creativity, enthusiasm, and a little competitive spirit come together.
ReplyDeleteNope, I haven’t seen this movie or even heard of it, but any movie where people start casting spells or making wishes always seems to have them backfire! That’s what you get when you start messing with things you probably shouldn’t be messing with. You just know it’s not going to end well!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like she lucked out being the online one in costume because that meant she automatically won. I'm not a horror fan, but I'm sure that was an amazing experience for her!
ReplyDeleteTak powinna wyglądać twoja córka. Pobita i pokonana. Chcę ją gwałtownie przelecieć. Uderzyć ją w twarz. Dusić ją, podczas gdy ja pieprzę jej tyłek. Słyszeć jej krzyki i płacz, gdy jest upokarzana i gwałcona, a ja nie zamierzam przestać. Pieprzę ją tak mocno, że jej dziwkowy tyłek nigdy się nie podniesie. Ona jest moją niewolnicą seksualną. Moją brudną dziwką.
ReplyDeleteListen--she won fair and square! But it is kind of amusing how she got it. and all those little gifties! Good on her for having the guts to put it all out there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun experience for her. I love how she makes dressing up so fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! Her costume was great. She did such a great job. She must have been so excited.
ReplyDeleteNatalie looks so excited to have won the contest, her characterization was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteShowing up in full costume when nobody else did takes real dedication. Meeting actors who actually enjoy chatting with fans makes those events unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun and creative experience! I love seeing the costumes and how much thought people put into bringing their favorite characters to life. A costume contest like this would be so much fun to join!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess that's one way to guarantee a win if you're the only one who enters! What a great experience!
ReplyDeleteShe did such a great job with her costume and I am so glad that she won! What a cool experience overall for her and getting to meet that guy from the shop..... very cool. It was a creepy movie for sure..... my daughter had me watch it ;)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a fun contest! I love seeing all the creativity that goes into movie inspired costumes, especially when people really pay attention to the little details. I can only imagine how hard it must be to choose a winner with so many creative entries!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story! Natalie definitely deserved that first-place prize for going all in with the costume, especially if she was the only person brave enough to show up covered in fake blood and wounds!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool contest. That movie was such a jump scare. She look amazing!

DeleteIt 's great you showed up in costume and that you met one of the stars. Great pictures and story of a wonderful adventure.
ReplyDeleteNatalie looked fantastic, and taking the initiative to dress up definitely paid off! Meeting Darin Toonder and scoring all those awesome goodies sounds like a core memory 😍.
