Of course, unless they're boneless vagrant drifters.

I know!! Isn't it cool!!! I saw these for the first time a few years ago at the grocery store, a whole bin of them!! I never saw anything like them before and was like WTF ?:eek: I was fascinated with them !! They literally have all these green stuff growing on them!!:eek: I bought one and we didn't carve it either ! I even made a whole thread about them on here that year! ;)

They are actually called "Knucklehead pumpkins"! :D

I have to make sure we don't buy too much candy this year! Every year seems to be less and less kids coming, so we get stuck with lots of leftover candy!! It's SO TEMPTING,:happyface and I always give in to temptation and end up eating WAY too much candy!! :crazy:

I like the white ghost pumpkin the best. Will you be playing spooky music on Halloween to go with pumpkins? We used to decorate for Halloween and have costume parties but we stopped a few years ago due to our work schedules.

The wife did the ghost one.

Probably not. We're mainly doing this for ourselves. The previous neighborhood we lived in we got lots of trick or treaters so we went all out with decorations. But where we live now we rarely if ever get kids. We sold off most of our Halloween decorations a few years ago, but now we've decided we wanted to have it look and feel like Halloween all month long.

I used to up until a few years ago. I always did female characters....Betty Rubble, Ms Swan (from MADtv), Mrs. Roper, Little Red Riding Hood, Captain "Mrs." America...those are the ones I can think of now.

Yeah, he looked so forlorn sitting in the corner with his head down. Nothing like Elvira to get your head up straight.

This is from a few years ago, the wife and I went to a Halloween Haunted attraction. This Pennywise-looking clown cornered her, she said he kept whispering creepy things to her. Of course, I just stood there and took pictures.:lol:

Yesterday, the wife and I visited my great niece, who, along with other of her classmates were playing 'ghost students' for the haunted classroom scene at a Haunted Hayride attraction. She gave us a tour before they opened. The lady in the pic with her is the 'ghost teacher' :)

My daughter, niece, and some of their friends went to Halloweentown (St Helens, OR) last Friday. She said they most likely would have enjoyed it more if they were younger. They had the taxi and skeleton driver. The Pumpkin in the town square is less than half the size than the one in the movies. And they didn't have a map or anything to show locations. She said the best part was seeing all of the shops and people dressed up.

Going to see Halloween tomorrow, and that’s about it until 6 PM. That’s when the kids start coming.

Today would’ve also been my Mom’s 65th birthday. She passed away in August. I took her some flowers and a balloon.

Last night, since we don't get trick or treaters out here, the wife and I were settling down to watch a couple of Abbott & Costello movies to finish Halloween off. But then we got a call, friends of ours had a small emergency and asked if we would take their daughter (and dog) trick or treating. So the wife and I threw together sort-of costumes and ended up having a fun night (One thing we miss about our daughter not still being a kid is taking her trick or treating)

I threw on a wig and some make up, it started out to be Alice Cooper but then I kept adding make up. Not sure what my wife was going as she basically just grabbed the nearest mask.

Great photos! We didn't dress up to hand out candy since we only get 3 or 4 trick or treaters. Not many small kids in our area.

I didn't get a lot of kids myself.
