Couldn't decide an appropriate thread for this, so I made one for anything to do with the season. Best $5 Halloween decoration ever:  I've had at least a half dozen coworkers visibly jump and squeal walking in to my office. Turns out realistic looking things are much scarier. |

I can see how you'd be startled at first. My sister is a bit of a crow nut so I got her some realistic ones for cheap, too. They look great perched upon the bust of Palas just above her chamber door.

So, I'll be in New York City for the 2013 NYC Marathon, and I'll arrive on October 31st around 1pm.
Beside the Halloween Parade and of course Times Square, where else can I see some halloween extravaganza, maybe off the traditional tourist routes?
Thanks :)

Hmm, that sounds and looks quite awesome, thanks  Err, did I forget to mention that I'll be in NYC with my GF, and she hates horror movies and stuff like that? (yeah well, you might say one more reason to push her onto this unforgettable experience :D). This might be a little too extreme and "real" to her, sigh  |

Yesterday, in the grocery store, I saw big sacks of little Halloween bags of Hormel Pepperoni. This year I'll be passing out bags of mini pepperoni and string cheese. Srsly.

Everyone loves pepperoni. Even vegematarians. It's almost as good as bacon.

Fresh out of the oven, piping hot bacon is the best thing to give out on Halloween. Kids love it, parents are horrified. My roommate did turkey bacon one year, didn't go over as well.

That's because turkey bacon is disgusting. On topic, what do you guys call the day before Halloween? I saw this image on facebook and now I'm wondering if we have some weird local tradition that doesn't exist outside NJ/DE/PA.  |

Here in NJ Mischief Night is when kids go around throwing toilet paper on trees, egging houses, and generally getting into, well, mischief. |

Never saw the Crow? Most people do not call it anything special. This year I am mostly calling it Wednesday. Mostly. |

Mischief Night in PA, too, and when I was a little kid it was very, very popular. Recipe: Eggs, toilet paper and soap.  |

We did that on Halloween. Not sure why you need a separate day for that.

Because you don't have enough hands to carry eggs, toilet paper, a pocket knife, soap and HUGE sacks of candy.

This. We didn't use a lot of soap; shaving cream/gel was more effective. |

1. Be at work meetings until 6pm.
2. Spouse delivers 12-year old for insertion into gaggle of middle-schoolers doing trick-or-treating in the "best decorated neighborhood".
3. Instructed sternly by 12-year old to rush home for candy delivery so that small children in our neighborhood do not regard us as a non-participant.
4. Open bottle of wine. Reheat frozen chili. Disperse candy with increasingly indiscriminate abandon but maintain small reserve for grouchy teenagers at 9pm.

Do people still trick or treat at houses there? Here, it seems to be mostly malls and stores and stuff. I'd never heard of that until I came here. And you can't blame the weather - in my day, we'd trick or treat in freezing rain and snow most years!
Oh, and apparently trunk-or-treat or trick-or-trunk is a thing now, too. As are candy buy backs..

Which scares the hell out of me. What guarantee do they have that the candy isn't tainted? A local business is buying back candy and sending it to the troops overseas. It's a great gesture, but I have concerns about the safety of the candy that they are buying from random strangers. |

I wondered what they were doing with the candy, since it seems to be mostly dentists and pediatricians advertising them around here! |
