How/if/do you celebrate halloween?

May sound childish but I am being a zombie, mainly because I can do shit like this.

This was a split knuckle and a cut I did not a few days ago. Practice, y'know.



It is fake.

What are you doing today for halloween?

Cower in the dark with my new 1984 book and sit out the hordes of trick or treaters that bring so much trouble to the area. If only I got a bb gun, it's great if you have one, to check through your spy hole to make sure the kid is like older than 13 then put your bb rifle through your letterbox and tell em they got four seconds to run!!!!

Nah but seriously, I had how 13+ walk around with a shitty mask on demanding sweets or worse my hard earned cash. Especially since my street is full of elderly people. I should start a militia.

Oh and @ Slag, that is disgusting but cool

I don't celebrate Halloween, because I disagree with it. I've said it before somewhere else on the forums, I believe it's just all about commercialisation. I don't like that sort of thing. I think it's very tacky. And I fucking hate "trick-or-treaters" over the age of nine. They get nothing off me. I park the car at an angle to make it difficult for people to get onto my drive.

I do nothing. I benefit by enjoying the increased amount of horror on television, and I'm loving the Halloween update to Minecraft. But no. Fuck Halloween. Just another excuse to have plastic tack in shops months prior to the event.

Watch The Nightmare Before Christmas of course, god what the fuck is wrong with you people.

Oh but when Trick or Treaters come I don't give them any candy. I give them advice, I don't believe in giving people things, they should go out and earn it like me, why not? There are plenty of employment opportunities in America today courtesy of the 1980s.

Most of the time nothing, me and a couple friends did go to an abandoned house, camp site, and a bridge with a local urban legend around it. Was pretty fun. I probably wont do anything tonight.

If I ever move to a country where Halloween is practiced, I will deck out my front yard with all sorts of atmospheric props. Front and centre will be a scarecrow with a vision system that can detect kids with the gall to approach my house without wearing a costume and a robot arm that throws eggs.

To celebrate Halloween this year I am going to stay out of Halloween threads so that I won't have to tell people what ginormous, whiny wet blankets they are.

Which is why I dislike most national holidays.

I like to think Christmas still has an element of "goodwill to all men" in it.

Also, it's entertaining to say 'Trick' to teenagers who obviously haven't considerd that eventuality.

I might post pictures at some point, but Abbey was a vampire rabbit. Cutest vampire rabbit ever.

She threatened to drink people's blood and eat their lettuce.

She decided that one on her own. When we first started talking about costumes she wanted to be a cat, but by the time she was done mixing and matching stuff she was a vampire rabbit.

You could still celebrate the holidy without acknowledging the commercial aspects, but you have to understand that America and England have "retail based" economies now. (sickening as that is) And rely on the sale of cheaply made Chinese Halloween decorations for survival, so you can't blame the corporations for advertising non-stop. Since our countries don't make anything anymore a bad holiday shopping season could be devasating to our economies.

Oh and buy domestic as often as possible and ifyou can't do that atleast buy from countries your country has good political relations with.

The best thing you can do at this time of year is phone your cenile old Gran and tell her that zombies are running rampant around your area and then hope she tells you she'll keep her rifle loaded! Lots of dead chavs.
