The Oddworld Forums Fucking Crybaby Halloween Thread
I went ahead and preempted the usual thread where you all shit on a fucking kid's fun holiday, because apparently you have nothing better to do than complain about children dressing up, and asking for candy once a year. Please contain all of your Halloween themed faggotry to this thread.

Who could ever hate a holiday that’s all about dressing up and getting treats?
It’s like a drag prom but with more sugar. |
Most of this awful forum, that's who.
|
We didn't have Halloween in Poland until a year ago or so. I'm starting to hate the kids because of whatever
|
This is the second year in a row I didn't have a pumpkin to carve and it's killing me
|
Hallowe'en < DÃ*a de Muertos
|
I fucking hate Halloween and I hate children.
No seriously, they should go have fun, but I have nothing to give them. Also this is a great holiday for paeodphiles. So, OANST, is that why you like it so much? HAHAHAHA |
yes
|
HAHA...HA...Ha...ha...ha.
Oh. |
I think a holiday for paedophiles would be pretty great. Like, all the paedophiles take the day off wanking to lolicon and go raise a barn or something
|
Well, this thread got weird fast.

This thread has gone far too many posts without a picture of Abbey's latest Halloween costume.
Come the fuck on, man. I was expecting it as thread opener. |
I bought a cool little ghost mask-hood-foldable-into-hat thing the other day before a party for a dollar but I lost it at said party. It was cool.

Noone really does Halloween over here. They were playing the Orson Wells "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast thing in one of the squares in Adelaide, and I know a few people dressed up to go to that. Other than that it's pretty boring, except for the horror film on tv.
My Irish friends sacrifice lambs to Satan or something though. |
My family used to do really extravagant shit for Halloween. It's that one holiday I always look forward to. Or at least, used to.
I don't really think I'll be looking as forward to it the way I used to for the upcoming years, especially after this Halloween. I finally hit the "it's never going to be the same" wall. It kind of sucks. |
I played Costume Quest. Apart from that, it could have been any day of the year.

Here in the US, there's a city in Massachusetts called Salem. In the colonial days of the US, Salem, MA would prosecute people who were accused of being witches. These prosecutions and hearings became known as the Salem witch trials.
Because of this, Salem, MA is a popular tourist attraction during Halloween. Salem, MA is pretty much Halloween city here in the US, and is where I should've gone this Halloween due to the lack of trick-or-treaters where I live. |
Sure am glad Spooce-aholic is here to learn me and other europeans otherwise there's no way I could ever know about them Salem witch trials.
|
What a swell guy
|
On the radio this morning people were calling in and complaining about how they're bought a pile of junk food but no-one came by trick-or-treating. As if it's ever been a common thing in Australia.
|
I don't know what's more disappointing, the calls or the fact that you apparently listen to mainstream radio.

I've never bothered with Halloween as it has zero meaning in the UK. I'm also not a horror fan so I don't enjoy it at all. It's just another craze that gets kids eating sweets, shops to sell shit at stupid prices and an excuse for all the weirdos to come out.
Halloween also completely overshadows Guy Fawkes Night, an event which actually has a meaning in the UK. (Not like i'm complaining that much, I don't care about that either.) The only thing I did was to play Amnesia again with a mate. Got it recorded too because literally everyone else on YouTube has done an Amnesia playthough. Thought i'll join in. |
I don't particularly like the fact that while Americans use all their fireworks to celebrate freedom from a government they had no representation in, we use ours to celebrate that a dead tyrant wasn't dead for a while. We ought to ditch the Denomination Wars and turn it back into a Pagan/Celtic solstice festival.
America, if you don't have a national holiday dedicated to standing in the cold and staring at a big pile of fire, you should. Not that any can match this springtime ceremony that takes place a mere six miles from my home. As comedian Ed Byrne put it: "You get yourself a very, very steep hill; you get yourself a hunk of cheese. You roll the cheese down the hill. You all chase after it, you all fall over, and you break your spine in the name of cheese." Truly a magnificent event. |
Are they meant to catch the cheese, or is it the Englishman's equivalent of the greyhound rabbit?
|
Halloween was fun for me. I watched Repo The Genetic Opera in the morning, it's cheesy but it's a fun little macabre film. As for the kids, there were only 2-3 groups that went around knocking and they were pretty polite. We usually give them bags of malteasers or haribo multipack sweets. It's a fun time for the kids and the people that dress up as scary film/game characters! Plus I made my Halloween game in time so that's good too.

It's descended from a Pagan fertility ceremony, but considering the cheese has been involved since the 15th century, you'd have a hard time getting it off any scruff who did catch it. |
I guess it's a bit late for this, but whatever. Since, I'm not in my hometown, I usually don't dress up or anything, I just simply gather with some friends and we watch some movies. This year, a big majority were girl friends, so we had a bunch of tasty treats.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...6.jpg~original This is a Milka cake. Not in the Hallo spirit, but tasty nonetheless. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...b.jpg~original These spiders are caramel cupcakes with chocolate fudge on the top and inside, and legs made of jelly sweets. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...5.jpg~original These are sausages rolled with dough and sauce, making it look like they're mummies. I know, but they're tasty. Roll with it. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...f.jpg~original These eyes are cooked eggs, with tomatoes and olives to make their iris. The blood vessels are Tabasco, which make them spicy and delicious. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...2.jpg~original These are orange "pumpkins" and they really look like it. Also, those are M&M's. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...6.jpg~original This is a graveyard. The graves are made of Oreo, dirt made of Brown sugar, grass made of green sweet potato flakes, floor made of shredded Oreo and chocolate mousse. The worms are, well...jelly worms. Truly awesome ideas and it was a fine great evening. |
I had a massive argument with Sekto on Facebook about it but anything I say gets disregarded because I'm a grumpy teenager.
|
really?
why do people get so het up about Halloween? it's just another fucking commercial holiday where you can do whatever you want anyway, like every other day. Christmas is the same. |
Christmas has better songs.
Also Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie Come at me bitches |
Guy Fawkes Night has colourful sky explosions.
Suck it. |
i totally agree. with both posts.
no one come at me, thanks. |
How about ON you?
Sorry And STM, I never knew anyone who calls it Guy Fawkes Night, I always called it Bonfire Night. |
Budding revolutionaries like STM like to spread their seditious rhetoric.
