I'm realy confused, but I'm going to say yes they were probably halloweeners, as they would probably demand lollies at some stage too.
But no one has ever come to our house unhappy, and then our house has been graffittied the next day, on halloween, so it's a bit unfair.
Hense why from this year on, if anyone tries to egg my house, I'll be there egging them first. ;)
I like it though, it's a good excuse to dress up, altough I don't anymore.

Halloween is a fun holiday simply because you can goof off and do things you normally wouldn't do, just because nobody will know who you are under the costume. Free candy isn't too bad, either.

Unfortunately, having sold all of our halloween props before moving out here the previous year, we couldn't spruce up our house like we usually did, but I got enough to dress up as a ninja pirate zombie robot. I just took a ninja mask, cut a hole at the mouth and covered it in fake blood, put on an eye patch, and wore a box with a bunch of knobs and dials on it.

My family usually have a party on Halloween. Just fancy dress and such. But as I was away in Blackpool for Halloween (And no one celebrated at the Hotel I was staying), I didn't get to do anything fun.

But yestarday (I got home on Friday), we had a Dracula Party. It's like an adult's version of Hide-and-seek. The lights are turned off (People using torches to find their way around) and everyone wears all black. One person is Dracula and they look for a victim (All of the victims are hiding) and he/she finds one and touches them on the neck (Turning them into a vampire) and from there it doubles until one or two people are left. Then they have to guess who the first vampire was. If one of them guess correctly, they win. If neither of them guess, the Dracula wins.

It's less stressful being a vampire than a hider as you don't have to worry about anyone finding you. But hiding is also fun because it gets you high on adrenaline.

But yes, the party was very fun.

You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves. It's just supposed to be fun. You aren't supposed to annalyze it or consider it's social value or look down on it with petty disdain. It's just fun. I took my daughter out as I have done every year and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Did you and your daughter dress up OANST?

Aw, she's cute.

That's said in a totally non-child-molester way.

WaterMelody 11-04-2007 12:51 PM

she's cute! :D anyone who dresses as a witch is in mai good books. We dont usually celebrate halloween, being in australia and all. I just watched nightmare berore xmas and corpse bride. Then i got bored and ring my friends and we went trick or treating (well tried to) we ended up threatening this one guy with the plunger of doom (yes we actually did bring a plunger with us) then he just slammed the door on our faces. Oh yeah, i went as a witch, broom and all.

Me too. That would have been ten types of awesome.

In a Mini-Me sort of way.

Sounds like a blast compared to what I did.

OANST your daughter is awesome. Now I can't imagine you going trick-or-treating with her.

OANST 11-04-2007 02:46 PM

I'm just surprised you didn't photoshop a pedophile into the picture. So....thanks.

Disregard that. It was Kastere who did that.

Eh might be a little late for me to discuss Halloween but still, I must say this:

I was the Burger King, they let us dress up in our costumes in high school. Fun times were had.

My brother's friend dressed up as Dorthy from the Wendys commercials. He walked around saying, "We provide breakfast. McDonalds and Burger King suck. Wendy's rules."

*Awws at OANSTS' girl*

Anyway, what I've always wanted to do to the rude fuckers around here on Halloween is to bring my Hose inside and set it up next to the door.

"Trick or Treat! give us free food, gaybo!"
"'Kay".
*WHOOSH*
*Slams door.*

I have a well fortified apartment, so they can't exactly attack my house.

/me leaps on the misreading bandwagon.
Hey, so did I!

When did Halloween start ignoring the whole horror theme and accepting fast food mascot costumes?

Bullet Magnet 11-05-2007 01:27 PM

There's something inherently chilling about a lump of dead cow meat walking and talking before your eyes.

Wil 11-05-2007 04:02 PM

I find something chilling about any lump of dead cow meat, but that’s just me.

/me has become one of those annoying people who goes on and on about it.

I had a major exam for Spanish on Halloween which wasn't a treat. Definately a trick. On the more positive note I did go out the weekend before and attend several Halloween themed parties so that was fun.
