Any one have any plans yet?
I know it kinda early, but my and the little lady have already gone to Bush gardens "Hollow-scream" event, its kinda fun. We also frequent some of the "Haunted hayrides" in the area..good times. I think i enjoy the "Mom and pop" like events more than the Duff gardens one.
I think this year, ill just wear my costume from last year, as i don't want my girl to get all crazy while making me a new one (Like last year), heh.

Someone took on-call from me so I can enjoy myself. Halloween is the wedding anniversary but I think the proper gift is a quiet evening.
The boy decided he wants to be Thomas the Tank Engine for Halloween. Last year he was Mario and I was Luigi. I'll keep Halloween '06 close to my heart, no matter what happens from here on out.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

You at least going to watch a spooky movie? Like, how candy corn is made. |

Hmm. I suspect my child will be a ninja this year. The only reason I have for suspecting this is that his costume for the last 6 years (IE: half his life) has been some form of ninja. Teenage Mutant Ninja, Scoprian Ninja, Classic Ninja, Zombie Ninja, some form of Grim Reaper Ninja -- I'm hoping for Pirate Ninja, really.
Taking him to our local city Halloween festival is pretty much it. :)

I suspect I'll answer the door a couple of times and hand out some wee boxes of rock hard raisins that have been hanging around for a year, and then laugh at their disappointed little faces. At around 8, I'll turn off the outside light and yell abuse at anyone who dares knock on the door. If anyone who knocks looks older than 12, I'll call the police. So... pretty much the usual.

When I was a kid, one of the people in our neighborhood was a dentist and he handed out toothbrushes and toothpaste every Halloween. His house always got TP'd and egged... he never did learn his lesson. |

Halloween? It's September, you missed Halloween by about 3 weeks. It's Chrismas season now, bitch! Start hauling out those decorations and putting red and green on everything!
Yeah, I only wish I was being sarcastic. The local stores have a small X-mas section already and some fuckhead one street over had his Christmas lights all over his house and turned on last night.
As to the actual question, the usual. Taking the kids up to my sister's neighborhood which is about 10x bigger than mine and running around with their cousins. This year's theme is "tourture Merusk's daughter" because she made a deal with mom last year. She got to be the Grim Reaper, and this year mom picks her costume. It's going to be a princess in a frilly pink dress so her brother can be a dragon or a knight.. don't know which yet.

I'll probably buy like 4 bags of candy corn and play TF2 all night. Then yell at kids to "stay off my lawn".

Oh man.. I HATE that. Yeah there's a couple Christmas ornament shops already opening at our mall... I don't need to see a Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. I mean there's two big holidays still before December even comes around. |

I'm going hiking in Red Rocks and the Grand Canyon that weekend, but haven't made plans for Halloween proper. I don't think I've been home to give out candy for like 10 years... I need to find an excuse to escape!

I'm sure I'll be watching TV and being disappointed that kids don't come around our neighbor for trick-or-treating at all, being forced instead to attend family-safe Fall Carnivals that aren't devil-y in the least.
Fuckers.

Only part about Halloween is that it's an excuse for girls to dress slutty for the day/weekend.
If I can get a new PC built in time, I'll be Hell-a-gatin'

I'd like to get some EQ2 goodies, but the cool stuff is probably all for the cool kids with groups and guilds and whatnot. People have been breaking out their masks, some cool stuff.

Maybe its just me, but i cant believe you typed the first sentence (and its true)...and then the second one is what you will be doing (in light of the first). Heh.. maybe you should find one of those girls, in costume, to come play with you at least?, maybe? BTW, this is one of my most favorite hallo-days. I have a friend on the west cost thay goes all out and converts his entire 2 car garage, and about 80% of his yard into a fright house...Fun time man, fun times. |

Now, it's all about letting the wife give out candy to the little kids so she coo at their costumes. |

(I'm teasing you BTW) Thankfully, my girl is all about the holiday like me, and we enjoy the dress up. Maybe you should make an exception this year, and go out! Nothing like sitting in a highfalutin restaurant in some upscale, but undead costumes..they technically cant complain, as your outfit adheres to the dress code =) |

Well, in hindsight it does look awfully strange to comment about slutty costumes and then immediately follow-up with the fact that I'm not going out to view said costumes.

Correct. But i believe according to the by laws of marriage, that its just fine if its your wife in said costume... But i'm not married, so take that for what its worth. We typically dress up, and goto the trellis , and order its finest desert, "Death by chocolate". See the theme? |

Fuck.
Halloween is huge in SF/Bay Area, also sometimes we travel down to SB for craziness. But this year I get no time off, its on a fucking wednesday and HG:L launches and goddamnit no way I can let all you fuckers be 20 levels higher before I've even played it...
Fuck.

I love Halloween. Definitely my favorite holiday of the year.
I go all out. Costumes, decorations, parties. Go to every haunted house/hayride type thing that I can. Watch all the classic horror movies.
(And of course, Hellgate.)

A friend of mine throws a huge bash every year, each one better than the last. he goes way over the top, spends tons of cash on decorations... it's his favorite holiday. Costumes required. He's got 3 or 4 prizes, but this year's grand prize in the costume contest is a middle of the line hd-dvd player and 5 or 6 movies. Needless to say, competition is fierce.

Halloween is always pretty cool with my family. I think we will just be hitting up all the haunted houses int he local area then driving out to the big haunted house in the farming area. I am also going to buy some more of the horror movies I have been wanting to own so the boy can see them, then probably start working on the boys Halloween costume about mid October. This year is an easy one, my son is going to be Terry Bogard from the Fatal Fury/King of Fighters games. Much easier than the last years, he was Cobra Commander a couple years back and I really had to put some work into that costume. Close to the 31s we do the pumpkins, we usually do 2, then we will finish it all off with the usual trick or treating thing. We have already decorated and everything.

I hate Halloween with a passion so I will just sit around and start thinking about what I will cook for my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving.
