I went to a halloween party last night and tried out a number of openers based on costume that some other people might like to try.
If she's dressed as a cat:
8b: "Why did you come as a rabbit? I dont get it...''
If she's dressed as a witch:
8b: ''Omg! You came as Harry Potter! Thats awesome! Where's Ron and Hermione?''
If she's dressed as a devil:
8b: ''Oh hey again! Sorry I didn't catch your name earlier, how's your night going?'' (acting as if you were talking to her earlier)
HB: ''What? I've never met you''
8b: ''Seriously? I swear I was talking to you earlier with your friends, I stole your horns remember?... Oh man you're right, there's so many people wearing that costume tonight!''
If someone's dressed as a celebrity (I dont know why they would be on halloween, but there was an HB9 dressed as Amy Winehouse last night):
8b: ''Hey, I'm sorry, I don't normally do this kind of thing, but my friend over there is a massive fan of your work, do you think you could pose for a picture with him?''
Then when you've taken the photo say something like ''Nah, that came out rubbish, lets try again'' Then give your camera to your wing, go put your arm around your target and pose, hollywood style. When the photo's taken say, ''That looks awesome, thanks'' but refuse to show her. If she wants to see it, shes gonna need to give you her email/facebook
Hope these work for anyone who tried them, I had a load of success with them last night, they all worked to open at least once and I used that camera routine on a couple of sets and it also worked well
Happy Halloween
