Favorite Halloween related stuffs?
« on: October 08, 2015, 09:52:42 AM »

It's coming up pretty soon! My favorite thing about Halloween is buying some candy, and handing it out to the treaters while sitting next to my next door neighbor. We get to chat for over an hour and have fun making kids happy. Good times! :)

BONUS QUESTION: Are you dressing up? What as?

I like the parties. I'm going to a big one in the city again this year. I wish I wasn't too old to trick or treat, though. I mean, who is ever too old for free candy?

I love the vibe of Halloween but I'm not much of an active participant in it (decent events for the occasion are few and far between in Macclesfield.) Usually I just treat it like a normal evening but with a cheesy film on the background but this year, I'm thinking of getting into the spirit of it with some spooky audio books. I have an exceptionally good one of Moon by James Herbert that is an absolute blast to listen to and it'd be perfect for Halloween! :D

November 1st, AKA cheap candy day. I also like carving pumpkins but I haven't done that in a long time, maybe next year when/if I'm back home.

Otherwise, I'm not super fond of Halloween anymore (I used to love it as a kid for obvious reasons). I think dressing up is fun, but not worth the hassle of making/buying a costume for one night, especially since I don't care for parties or anything where I would need one.

I like the weather, the fact that it's finally cool (not true today, though.  :mad: ), and that's it almost November and winter is coming. Winter maybe my favorite season, but late October and November give me the best feeling because the winter is still ahead.

Otherwise, I'd say that dressing up is fun... But I've hardly done it since I was a young child. Aside from that I'm really not a fan of Halloween itself. I find the decorations and such to be quite disturbing. I always look forward to Christmas time when it turns into pretty decorated spruce trees and colorful stringed lights everywhere as opposed to ...skeletons, zombies, werewolves, and the like. Ugh. D:

Halloween is not really a thing here, except the parties. A year ago some dressed up kids were ringing on our door but as we didn't expect it and thus didn't have candy to give we didn't open it. But a nightclub has been having a huge halloween party every year and I've been going since I was 19. I will not be dressing up this year as I don't have the finance for it.

I love the candy-SOOOO much candy!  I enjoy putting up the decorations and carving pumpkins too.  I've been practicing carving more ornate pumpkins and I'm hoping to do something really cool for this year. 

My family always runs a trick or treat event in the park of our small hometown and I love to see all the costumes that the kids wear.  I also get free leftover candy afterwards (I might have a slight sugar addiction...)

Best thing about Halloween though?  Horror movie marathon!   :devious:  I try to watch as many scary or monster-related movies as possible in October.  Animated, foreign, cult classics, I watch 'em all.

I'm with StarDapple. One of the best things about Halloween is horror flicks! How was that not an option?

Halloween is my second favorite holiday. I'm a total horror movie buff and I loveee the decorations. I've been trying to convince my mother to get one of the inflatable dragons they're selling at wal-mart right now.
I still go trick-or-treating in groups, no one has even denied us candy before thankfully.
We usually have big Halloween parties but the girl who always had them goes to college in Colorado now so we have to have them at another house.
The weather is always wonderful, I'm in Texas though so it takes a while to finally cool down here.

I'll be re-using my female Robin costume this year. If I knew I was going to trick or treating I'd get that inflatable Godzilla costume. The Robin one makes me feel cute though  :blush:

I love the weather the most. Sweater Weather!
 And I get excited about dressing up.
 And my birthday is only two days after Halloween!

I chose "story telling" to mean reading horror stories/watching horror movies/playing horror video games -- whichever I decide to do that day. :) In fact, one of my reading groups is reading a horror book as a special Halloween extra (on top of the other books we're reading).

But my favorite "activity" is the weather. :D It's usually just starting to get cool when Halloween rolls around, and the weather is usually just perfect on that night! :)

It was so hard limiting it to just 5  - I love everything about Halloween!  We now have an old barn on our new property, and I am soooo tempted to turn it into a haunted house. But right now we need it for storage. Boo.

Horror movies and haunted houses! I like elaborate costumes too. I'd dress up, but it's just too hot here.
