Anybody actually doing anything for Halloween? I am too old to trick-or-treat, so that's pretty much out of the question ( although I may sneak up to a few neighbors' houses ;) ) Do you plan on having/going to a costume party? Or are you staying home to hand out candy? Is anyone planning on dressing up?


I have school the day of Halloween ( and my stupid professor is giving me a test so I can't miss it! :mad: ) So, I was figuring I might go to school with some Halloween gear on-- my orange Halloween tee-shirt from Old Navy, my black cat earrings, and maybe some black make-up. I don't think I'll go in full costume to college(although the idea is tempting). When I get home, however, I'm either dressing as a nerd or black cat :) Depending on if friends are home and want to do something, I might go out with them or just stay in and watch some horror movies on the t.v. and give out some candy.

So, what does everyone else plan on doing? ( I'm so waiting on Fleet's answer ).

Going to Foy's, they turn a whole downtown street into Halloween, various haunted houses, costume and special effects shops, they do an exacution every hour on the hour, it's a blast. I may also go to FearFest at Kings Island, also a blast! I wait all year for Halloween, thank god it's almost here :dance:

:woohoo: That sounds really fun! I wish my town did something like that. We do have a haunted house in Wading River ( a few towns over ) but it's kinda lame inside the house-- the graveyard they take you through BEFORE the house is what's scary :D

I wait all year long for Halloween too! It's always been my favorite holiday...I love scary movies, dressing up, candy, the works! ;) Plus, it's not as overly commercialized as Christmas is (and not as expensive!), so there's more to appreciate ;)

Ever since 2001, the family would get together in our backyard, and we'd have a weenie roast and make smores. I cant wait.

We have tons of attractions, we even have haunted caves , which really freaked me out one year. A friend of mine had her hand on my shoulder so we all could stay close together, I went to grab her hand at one point and noticed it was hairy. I grabbed the poor wolfman by the hand, swung him around and decked him HARD! :lol: he was pretty understanding though, He ended up being my guide the rest of the way through, and warned all the other actors " She will knock you out, back off!" it was a bit funny, I felt bad, but ya can't sneak up on me like that, cause I can't help myself :lol:

I'm going trick-or-treating with Joyce DeWitt. :D

Back to real life, I will set up my modest "haunted garage," modest because there are only about 35 trick-or-treaters.

Than, about 10:00 PM, I'm off to http://www.hauntinggrounds.org Unfortunately, the show's creator says this will be his last year of doing it (unless I can talk him into continuing the tradition). I will also visit a few other Halloween shows in the area.
The Haunting Grounds show this year will be Friday through Monday nights! 7:00 PM to Midnight.

No, but I am not sure if I want to really attend a childhood friend's wedding in Arizona on those days. I am not sure what day she's getting married, but I think it IS Halloween.

If I decide NOT to go, then I will just probably dress up at work like I usually do. I didn't last year because we had an aura of a bad attitude tech amongst our circle that I wasn't in the mood to dress up. I will this year.

Anyway, for those of you fellow Halloween-lovers, here's a great Halloween song from Aqua!!! It is entitled - what else - "Halloween!"

Cool plan...a wedding on Halloween MIGHT be fun if it is themed to be spooky and stuff. But, hey, I think I'd go to work myself :lol: Thank god my boss lets the coworkers dress up.

I'll have to give that song a listen later :D

:lol: Fun! Actually, I would still go trick or treating at my age, but the fact that no one wants to do it with me is why I won't ;)

I always dress up and go trick-or-treating with my friends! You can never be too old for that! :p But lately we've done some pretty cool things too. The past two years we went to some haunted houses. And last year we went to one in downtown San Francisco. Cheesy, yet freaky fun.

There's this old, closed-down former insane asylum nearby that they turn into a "haunted house" every year. Supposedly, the place is really haunted (natch!) by the ghosts of the many people who passed away at the locale over the hundred-odd years it was in operation! :eek: So, I'll definitely have to check that out on Hallo'ween Night! :crazy:
