ALL HALLOWS EVE TALES : Told by Cristian and Laz of  ILL NINO.

FROM THE MPJ Archives : This was too good not to bring back from the archives. Enjoy.

• CRISTIAN – We don’t celebrate Halloween in South America, so I didn’t know anything about that until I was 12 years old. When I found out about Halloween, I was like WHAT? GET OUT OF HERE!! People dress up in costumes and ask for candy? What are you talking about? I thought that it was the freakiest thing.
• LAZ – Did you ever dress up? What was your first costume then?
• CRISTIAN – When I was here. It was these ripped up jeans and this torn up t-shirt thing.. I don’t know. It’s just weird.
• MPJ – Do you have a scariest moments story then?
• LAZ – Yeah, do you have any good ghost stories?
• CRISTIAN – Nah..
• LAZ – I have a scary story, there is this club we play at in Millwaukee called the Rave. Everybody plays the Rave. It’s like 4 clubs in one. The biggest bands play in the top room and the more underground bands in the lower room. They say that the place is haunted. I don’t remember the name, but there was this band that was there, and they were telling them about these abandon pools that are. They are scary as shit and just feels creepy when your there. And there is this chair that is by the pool that is not suppose to be moved because this is where this particular ghost likes his chair. And this drummer from this band put it to the test. He was like Fuck this, I don’t believe in ghost. He went over and he moved the chair. He was like, YOU SEE, NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME. So later, when they went on stage and started to play, there was a power outage on stage. Dude, all the pa’s and all the lights went out except for the one spotlight that was coming right to him, on the drum risers. From what I hear, this guy said he would never step foot back into that place again.
• CRISTIAN – I’ve been in that room, ya know. And the first time I went in there, it really does feel like, well like something is in there. The abandon pools are really creepy. When you look down in there, they are really dark and murky on the bottom. Like dirty or something. It’s like an old YMCA or something.
• LAZ – It looks like someone was killed in there.
• CRISTIAN – Or drowned in there.
• LAZ – Rumor has it that it was a mafia place, where they used to bring dead bodies in there and chop them up in there. And kill people there.
• MPJ – Is the chair facing the pool?
• LAZ – Ya know, last time we were there, I didn’t pay that much attention to the chair. It was the end of that night when we were getting ready to leave that someone had told me that story, and since it was nighttime, I wasn’t going to go back down to find out about the chair. (We all laugh)
• CRISTIAN – I know the first time I went there; I wasn’t going to let it bother me. But the last time we went, I didn’t want to let the door shut. Like you open the door, and it revolves and automatically shuts. I put something in there to not let it shut ’cause you could just feel it when the door opened.
• MPJ – So, you can sense those kinds of things?
• CRISTIAN – Yeah, but I always take the psychological approach to things.
