Vampires and ghosts have been a staple throughout Hollywood\u2019s history since its infancy. Dracula, Frankenstein and werewolves have taken center stage in many a movie that has instilled fright for the weak at heart. Now, more than ever, vampire-type thrillers are big box-office draws for the young adult generation of moviegoers. Believe it or not, Air Bud\u2019s latest installment, “Spooky Buddies,” opened up on DVD?at No 2 this month. In this film, the buddies must visit Spooky Manor to stop the evil Halloween hound and wicked warlock in order to save the world. There is something about Halloween, with ghosts and goblins, carving jack-o-lanterns and dressing up that makes you feel like a kid again. Pacific Beach is certainly a stage for ghosts and goblins on Halloween night \u2014 perhaps now more than ever. I was strolling down the 1400 block of Garnet Avenue the other day when I noticed a beautiful pirate wench right out of the 1700s standing in the street waving at me. Curious, I stopped. “Come on in to our Halloween Boutique,” she said. Delighted, I accepted her invitation. Since I can remember, these seasonal shops have opened up after Labor Day then disappeared after the ghost and goblins have invaded our town on Halloween night. The owner of the Halloween Boutique, Keely Ulrich, is an entrepreneurial young lady who secured a two-month lease at 1416 Garnet Ave. and acquired an impressive inventory of just about every costume you can imagine. This year, popular themed characters range from vampires and zombies to Austin Powers and President Obama. As for me, I will have to go back to the Halloween Boutique and check out the inventory. It\u2019s been years since I dressed up, and this year, think I\u2019ll give it a whirl. Keely is going to dress up as Wayne from “Wayne\u2019s World.” She\u2019s a vivacious young lady who makes a wonderful addition to our beautiful seaside town, our beloved Pacific Beach. \u2014 Kevin Di Cicco es el due\u00f1o de Buddy, el perro, mejor conocido por sus papeles en la larga serie de pel\u00edculas \u201cAir Bud\u201d y sus habilidades para jugar con la pelota mostradas en populares programas de televisi\u00f3n.
