She looks just like a dream 🎃 — Hellcheer Week Day 13

Eddie Munson is a loser who only goes to the Halloween party to sell drugs to the rich, stupid kids. He’s never actually invited, but he shows up anyway, wearing his Michael Myers mask just to hide his face while he sells his stuff.

But then…he freezes, hands shaking, unable to explain it, his heart pounding as if he’d inhaled tons of cocaine. He never expected to see her at the party—the angel. Yes, she’s dressed as an angel.

She…she…she looks just like a dream. Glitter on her face, a halo, angel wings, that long strawberry-blonde hair, and a white dress that hits him like a bullet. And of course, her signature blue eyeshadow, matching the color of her eyes.

He can’t even blink, watching her dance inside the party…her…The girl he’s been in love with (read: obsessed with) for over five years: Chrissy Cunningham.

And tonight, well, tonight is going to change his life forever. Because it’s October, it’s Halloween, and everything happens for a reason.

“So, who are you dressed up as?” “Michael Myers.” “Oh, that Halloween scary guy,” she says, her sweet voice in his ear like a drug. “And you?” “I’m an angel!” “Yes, you are...you are..."

Oh fuck...

Hellcheer's First Halloween Party 🎃 — Hellcheer Week

October 31, 1986.

It’s their first Halloween together as a couple, and they’ve been invited to Robin’s party.

Chrissy is thrilled; Halloween is her absolute favorite day of the year, her favorite holiday. She’s been practically buzzing all October, like a kid who’s had too much candy, and Eddie finds it pretty cute. She loves everything about it—the smell of pumpkin drinks, autumn leaves, candy, and, of course, costumes!

Eddie Munson, on the other hand, has always liked Halloween for one reason: scaring people and wearing the most grotesque masks he can find.

He had already planned to dress up as something awesomely nerdy and scary as hell, just to freak out kids in the street—maybe Pinhead or a character from Lord of the Rings or Star Wars.

He just wasn’t counting on the fact that, for the first time, his Halloween would be different—it’s his first with a girlfriend.

He can hardly believe it, after so many years of mocking the “dorky” couples who dressed in matching costumes at parties he never got invited to. And now his girlfriend wanted to do the same, a couple’s costume, and he froze when she asked him.

So, when Chrissy asked him to dress up as a couple, he said no. Actually, he said, “No fucking way, angel. Sorry, sweetheart, but no.”

But Chrissy spent days trying to convince him, even pointing out, “He even has your name! Edward Scissorhands... it’s like you!” she said.

He answered, “Thinking like this, baby, we could go as the Iron Maiden mascot, since it also has my name.”

But she didn’t give up, spending all thirty days of October trying to convince him with arguments like, “I love this movie! Please, Eddie, pleeease!”

He was set against it, unwilling to break his lifelong “no couples costumes” rule. He could only imagine how hard Gareth would laugh at him.

So...he realized that he had only laughed at and hated the happy couples in costumes in previous years because he didn’t have a girlfriend. He even started thinking about couple costumes, like Chrissy as Princess Leia and him as Jabba, but she would never go for that; he still needed to convince her to watch Star Wars.

She begged again and again and again. And then she looked at him with those big blue doe eyes, and, oh fuck, goddammit...he couldn’t resist. He said yes. He always said yes to her.

And now, here they are, dressed as Kim and Edward from Edward Scissorhands on the spookiest night of the year. Only, it doesn’t feel spooky at all to him. Not when he’s got the girl of his dreams, looking perfect in that white dress. She even did his makeup, sitting him down in front of her pink vanity to apply the white powder and tousle his hair just right. She was so excited and happy, and fuck, he would do anything for her. The only part he actually liked was the “scissor” hands… and, of course, the promise of kissing her allll night long.

(Don't Fear) The Reaper – Hellcheer

When Eddie Munson said, 'Look at her — I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way — what bliss,' he wasn't lying.

After killing her abusive family, they embarked on a bloody road trip. Eddie Munson and Chrissy Cunningham spent the rest of their days on the run from the police, their faces together in the newspaper clutched daily by the old religious lady of Hawkins: “Such a good girl, corrupted by that devil criminal.”

They took road trips with guns in the back seat—Eddie driving with his ring-covered fingers gripping the steering wheel, Chrissy’s legs dangling out the window. They stayed in old motels, danced alone in empty diners, blasted Blue Öyster Cult in fast cars they stole every day, and wore disguises and wigs (her favorite part). They got married on bridges with a lifelong blood pact, his ring now hanging from the girly necklace around her soft neck. And finally, they could truly love each other.

— And now, like Romeo and Juliet—wait, no, Bonnie and Clyde is better—they will be together for eternity, but wanted by the police.

All our times have come Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain And we can be like they are Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man
