- I'm sorry, what was that?
You're telling me it's what month?
In what year?
It's the end of October.
(spooky music)
In 2023.
I have no words.
Good news and bad news.
The good news is I don't think my apartment is haunted
because look, Anna she's around, okay?
But she's not chilling in this room anymore.
And since I've moved, no activity, zero.
So I thought instead of giving you
the haunted doll Anna update that I usually do,
we'd watch some spooky themed TikToks together.
And who knows?
Maybe we'll even get a hot lesbian thirst trap in the mix.
But before all of that, let me just introduce myself
to any of you who don't know me.
Hi, my name's Alayna Joy.
I make videos on this channel,
(button clicking) mostly about
the queer community, sex, dating, relationships.
But sometimes I react to TikTok.
Mostly, I react to thirst traps.
But sometimes, I wanna look at some spooky, creepy stuff.
I love spooky, creepy stuff.
So, let's watch some Halloween
spooky season TikToks together.
I have no idea what these are about to be
but let's jump in.

(Alayna laughing) Okay, what was that?
Was that a thirst trap?
(text clacking) Was that a makeup video?
(text clacking) Was it cosplay?
(text clacking) Was it for me?
No.
(text clacking)
Was it for somebody? I'm sure.
I mean, it's got 176,000 likes
which leads me to believe it is for somebody,
(text clacking) 146,000 somebodys.

Okay, so I think it was supposed to be

Yeah.
High Halloween thirst trap
hashtag vampire is the description.
But it's like, you just kind of put some makeup on
and put on a corset, and then ran
your lipstick down the side of your face.
Like you didn't even put in fangs.
Obviously beautiful.
Obviously beautiful, six outta 10 for effort.

who she's being?
Shaggy! She's being Shaggy.
Wow, I assumed it was Thelma
just because this is a feminine presenting person
and I immediately assume it must be Thelma.
It's Shaggy.
It's Shaggy Alayna, get out of the gender binary.
Look at that dog. And then the dog is Scooby Doo.
That's such a good costume idea.
Julio, do you wanna?
(crickets chirping)
I think he wanna.

Oh, cup song.
Ope, cup, my.

So, like once again,
I'm not saying don't dress up as Catwoman.
I'm not saying don't put on
a beautiful face of makeup
and an outfit that makes you feel attractive
and rock Halloween as Catwoman.
I'm not saying don't do that.
I am saying six out of 10 for effort.

For my nightmares, my already pretty consistent nightmares?
Didn't need that.
Now that I know there's no jump scare,
I kind of wanna watch it again.

Is this Pirates of the Caribbean,
(text clacking) or is it just pirates?
And if it's Pirates of the Caribbean,
are we still doing that?
(text clacking)
With all the Johnny Depp stuff?
Is that who she's trying to?
Yep, Captain Jack Sparrow.
Okay, this is the classic do we separate
the art from the artist
question. (text clacking)
In this case, I don't know.
I'm thinking like the same thing for Harry Potter, right?
Like those of us who grew up with Harry Potter,
like we go hard for Harry Potter.
J.K. Rowling on the other hand,
(Alayna blowing raspberries)
But like by supporting and promoting
Harry Potter and that whole universe,
you are inadvertently putting money
in a hugely transphobic person's pocket,
which we don't wanna do.
And now imagine if J.K. Rowling
played an actual role in the Harry Potter movies,
would we be dressing up as her?
No.
So I would apply that same logic here.
In case any of you were dying to know,
I will not be dressing up
as Captain Jack Sparrow this Halloween.
You heard it here first.
- This one here smells great.
- Illusion Halloween makeup. - This one, mmm.
Smells like mother's crazy sister Kate.
Oh you think so? - Oh no.
- Yeah I do.
- This audio. - It smells so good.
She couldn't have been that crazy.
I don't think so.
Oh you don't think so, huh?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no silly. - Where is this audio from?
- She must have been out of her head.
(eerie music plays) - Oh, oh.
Ah. ♪ Ah ah ah oh ♪
♪ Here it is ♪ Whoa, wow!
Whoa, whoa, wow.
(hand slapping knee)
My official review. Again, 10 out of 10.
That's art.
Is the medium makeup? Yes.
But it, that's art. That's art, baby.

Here's the thing.
I feel like you might actually see somebody
dressed like that as their Halloween costume
at a queer bar on Halloween.
'Cause my thinking was, I was like oh
I would love to see somebody dress up like that
and go to the bar for Halloween.
You know?
Like actually have a really scary costume.
Not just like some makeup and a corset
and like a little blood running down your mouth.
Not talking about anyone in particular.
Just like a general thought.
And then I realized, if you went
to like a drag bar on Halloween,
that's the kind of costume you would see.
That's the level of effort you would see.
I also love how I'm just being so judgey
of people's effort that they're putting in
to these Halloween costumes, when I have
not dressed up the past three years in a row.
I should be judging no one, for the record.

I wonder how you could make that magic effect
going out and about with your costume.
Do you think that's possible?
You'd have to construct some kind of smoke machine,
like to conceal under your glove.
Ah that's how, you construct a smoke machine.
And then you have the inside of your glove,
you put a little red light, right?
You cut a piece out of the glove.
You put a little red light that pokes up this way
and a smoke machine.
So then when you like push a button or something.
Let's say you put the mechanism right here under your thumb.
You push the button with your thumb
and the red light goes on, and a little bit of fog
comes out of the smoke machine.
But the fog would appear to be red because of the light.
(hands clapping) Anyway, anyone can steal that.
Just like give me credit.

The way the hand does that little
at the end, is that necessary?
Is that necessary? You're doing too much.
What if I look up Halloween lesbian?
What happens?
- If you dress as a pillow princess for Halloween,
you will make so many lesbian friends.
But you will also have one unintended side effect.
So many straight people will come up to you
asking if you are dressed as sleeping beauty.
And if you tell them oh no, I'm actually a pillow princess,
they're gonna look at you with a totally blank stare.
And you're gonna have to decide,
do I wanna explain lesbian sex
to this random heterosexual stranger?
I got myself in some awkward situations you could say.
Shout out to my mom though.
I told her about my costume
and I told her it was a lesbian joke.
And she said, not sure I know
what a pillow princess is, but I won't ask.
I love that energy Mom.
If you dress as a pillow-
- Incredible.
Pillow princess, that's the best idea of this video.
That is the best queer Halloween costume idea
that I have heard thus far.
And, it implies that if you have to dress up
as a pillow princess, it's a costume
that you have to put on, because you
are not in fact a pillow princess.
Or if you are a pillow princess,
you could put on the costume.
And then make like a little sign
that says, no, but for real.
And then you go find the person
who's looking for their pillow princess.
You know?
That's good advertising.
I think that those are all of the videos
that I'm going to react to today.
Happy spooky season, however you celebrate it,
if you celebrate it.
Continue to wish me luck in this Master's program,
in the comments down below.
I'm fightin' for my life.
Not in terms of being in the program and enjoying it
because I'm loving the things that I'm learning.
Grad school is so fun in ways that I didn't expect,
but I guess makes sense, because you're
intensively learning about the very specific
area that you're interested in, that's great.
It's just also a lot of work.
So I'm trying to do it all. What's new?
No, so I appreciate all of you being here so much.
If any of you are also back in school,
stay strong my friend, we're in it together.
Follow me over on Instagram if you don't already
because that's where the magic happens.

I've heard that this is like an anxiety thing,
that like people with anxiety
really like horror movies and things.
'Cause it's like a controlled fear,
versus the constant, underlying,
can never get rid of it
and never find the cause of it fear
that we experience day to day.
The scary stuff is contained.
