What are you doing for Halloween?

Are you going to dress up? Are you going to dress up AND go trick or treating? Are you going to give out candy? Are you going to a haunted house or whatever they are? Or maybe you're doing something else?
Or maybe some of y'all think Halloween is for kids, or maybe some of you think it's evil, so you don't celebrate it.

I live in a ravine which is runored to be haunted. So in order to keep high school kids from coming through vandalizing shit, we're going to have a really lame party down there.. and show Ghost & Mr. Chicken, naturally.

THIS HAS BEEN COVERED:

I don't like dressing up in costumes but I have to think of one this year because my boss is apparently big on everyone dressing up. Then we'll probably see if any kids come around to give candy to, this is the first Halloween in this apartment so I don't know if there are any kids in our area.

I'm going to be doing a lot of this.

We don't celebrate Halloween here.

It's a very American thing, I think. If other parts of the world celebrate it, they almost certainly don't do it by mixing candy and children and gore.

Usually I carve a pumpkin with an expression of agony and leave a bloody baseball bat or machete lodged in it. Last year I went for the Beatles "butcher cover" effect and had the pumpkin with a blood-soaked baby doll hanging halfway out of its mouth. Otherwise, the whole holiday is a dud of giving money (in the form of candy) to ungrateful strangers.

The kids called it "punking" these days.

Matt is going to carve a pumpkin. I'm going to be at an arts festival I think.

six years pass...

Man, does Halloween even exist anymore? I live in the damn suburbs and haven't had a single trick or treater yet. This town is about as exciting as a small town in Utah, granted, but you still expect a couple of little kids or something.

my friend and I were in town and there were tons of kids coming into businesses that were giving away candy.

― corey, Monday, 1 November 2010 02:31 (fifteen years ago)

in addition to going to a party last night (totes fun), today i walked my dog at dusk while wearing a goat mask. there were still some little trick or treaters out, and lots of teenagers and i scared some people. SUCCESS.

Sunday Halloweens always seem quiet but it's definitely pretty dead; then again I hear a lot of local parents take their kids over to South Coast Plaza and trick or treat there. Which sounds kinda lame but hey.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 November 2010 02:37 (fifteen years ago)

First time we've had trick-or-treaters in 4 years, maybe 10 small groups so far. The second kid was SO excited - maybe 4 y.o.? He yelled to his mom "I could just go trick-or-treating EVERY NIGHT!" Then as he headed down our stairs "I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!"

This bug on our door keeps freaking out the little trick-or-treaters, but won't leave:

You better find the brain bugs dude or that guy's taking over.

Yeah they do that up here at the Pacific View Mall, apparently. So lame.

We finally got some kids. I was handing out 3 and 4 pieces of candy each. I'm a madman!

We got swamped! Had to cut back from three pieces of candy per kid to two. Easily over 100 kids tonight.

All we got was 10 teenagers not dressed up, holding pillow cases, purses or just holding out their hands. In my excitement at having any trick or treaters forgot to ration candy. But still have piles leftover. V quiet.

No trick or treaters at all, what a shame. We watched the Peanut Butter Solution & it is not as scary when you're a grown-up.

My wife and daughter handed out candy while I watched the baseball game -- yesterday. Around here, all the communities decided to move the satanic holiday up a day so it wouldn't conflict with church. One teenager, not in any costume, came up with a pillowcase. My wife asked him what he was dressed as -- he said "an alcoholic."

― Unfrozen Caveman Board-Lawyer (WmC), Monday, 1 November 2010 04:40 (fifteen years ago)

Also, I had my first experience with Extreme Sour Warheads. Dang!

"It's Halloween?"

― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Monday, 1 November 2010 04:44 (fifteen years ago)

Ooh...highlight was watching "Night of the Comet". Though honestly, that movie has a very involved plot for not-very-much happening

― That is the stench of tyranny (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 1 November 2010 04:49 (fifteen years ago)

ooo Warheads. I haven't tried "Extreme Sour" but I remember the original Sour and "HOT" Torture Scorchers which were actually really good

― popular music is destroying our youth (CaptainLorax), Monday, 1 November 2010 06:08 (fifteen years ago)

I remember a sour apple warhead almost tearing the tastebuds off my tongue when I was little...still have residual muscle memory of it

Stayed in Sunday, hungover, and watched "It's Alive!" on local channel 43-2. Terrible movie but it did feature a 20+ minute flashback (1/4th of the entire movie) that contained no dialogue, only occasional narration. I kept flipping to the football game waiting for the flashback to end. Incredible.
