Halloween Again!

It is almost time for Halloween. What do you guys like to do? Do you like to dress up? I have a perfect idea, I just need to fine the costume. I am thinking of being a hippy(either 60's or 70's attire) I few years ago I was Miss Piggy. I rented a ball gown. I bought a pig's snout and ears. I bought a wig and a boa. My custome turned out really good. I like to dress up. Sometimes, I just go to school and work in my pajamas.

I don't dress for Halloween ( I know, I am a party pooper ), but my kids do of course. This year my 5 year old son is being Spiderman, and my 2 year old daughter is being a KITTY!!!! We like to decorate our house, and my husband likes to put on creepy music for the trick or treaters to hear.... Of course, we do the normal Jack-O-Lanterns and ghosts and other halloween decorations.
I guess we are pretty "normal", huh???

Halloween Moon :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Oh my! Thanks for the laugh! That is WAY too clever! :laughing2

I was a Hippie :afrorainb: year before last, turned out great!

The thriftstores are the best place for costumes, I got most of mine at Goodwill.
I found a pair of emerald greem crushed velvet Bellbottoms, a black suede fringed vest (fringe almost to the floor!), a green turtleneck sweater, and a pait of black platform shoes...probably spent less than $30.00! I added a headband, and painted flowers :flower: on my face...then made a sign with a Peace Sign on it...oh, and John Lennon style sunglasses of course!
Wore it to a party at the bar and won first place, which was $50.00...so the costume was free, and I still have the vest! :LOL:

Havent really thought about this year, I have to work that night so I really should dress up....hmmmm...now I better start planning something!

Totally not a costume person myself. I'm sure my daughter (5 years old) will want to be a ballerina fairy princess bride or Barbie or a Power Puff Girl. Hubby tends to dress up, he likes those rubber face things, went as one of the kids from South Park a few years ago. However, he suffers from depression so I never know if he's going to do anything until he does it.

We'll carve a pumpkin and buy the good chocolate candy, even though we'll end up with a bucket full of candy corn and lollies. Not my favorite holiday, as you can tell, but my daughter loves it so much.

I usually hate to put on costumes (my mother used to have to beg me to dress up and go trick-or-treating with my little sister - even when I was 6), but this year is different. My husband and I lived in apartments for the 4 years since we got married, so my only trick-or-treater was my nephew. Now, we live in a neighborhood full of kids, I am going to dress up as Hermione Granger (from Harry Potter). I am really excited about having t-o-t's!:tounge2:

Vjoy---Cute Halloween picture!!!! :witch:

Personally, I could do without Halloween, but my husband absolutely loves it. He's worse than my kids. I don't dress up, but my kids do. I think Amy wants to be a princess, and I'm not sure about Adam yet. He loves Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, but the only costumes they had were for older kids, not two year olds. I'm sure the kids will dress up and go trick or treating and get a few more cavities in their teeth!

Do any of you guys go to Haunted Houses? The only place I've ever been to was called The Haunted Woods. I really don't like to get spooked. I try not to watch any scary movies. I did like Poltergiest. And I there was this old movie about a man whose wife and kids die in a car accident. Then, he goes to live in a mansion which is haunted by a child whose father murdered him. I forgot the name of the movie. I watched It. And I like Chucky and Freddy. I saw this movie that has Jimmy Smit. About a little girl who is a special child. Her mother and stepfather are involved in a Satanic cult. She is to be sacraficed because she is God's child. The girl's aunt tries to save her from hem. I will go look it up.

Funny you ask that question....That's how I got my "name". My costume is the Midnight Bride - black gown and veil, black lipstick, black roses, etc. I guess because I'm kind of anti-marriage at this point in my life, I have fun with it! (no offense to anyone).

When I first saw that picture I saw it from a distance and it didn't look like pumkins in the picture.

I have always loved Halloween, I can't explain it. I just love the decorations and the candy. I absolutely love candy. My favorites are chocolate with carmel (no nuts, I hate nuts). and sour or tangy candy. Oh, and I looooove candy corn (yummmy)!!!!

:witch: :martian:

I love Halloween!

I love halloween!!

I have never dressed up, but I do love to go on haunted house ghost tours.

Ya think this witch might have a bit of a headache? :LOL:

There used to be a really neat haunted house in my town with special sound effects and lighting. The haunted house was too intense for the younger children, and they finally stopped having it.

And then there was a really neat party at school for the kids, they would pass out candy and give out prizes for best costumes. Now they have stopped doing this too.

The residents at our local nursing home used to pass out candy. This isn't done anymore either.

Halloween in my town just isn't as good as it used to be!!!

We don't celebrate Halloween. Sounds a lot like our Purim, when everyone dresses up in costumes. I am going to make some special catsite Halloween cards this week though Expect lots of pumpkins, witches, bats and of course black cats!

Have fun everyone!

I could really take it or leave it. When I was a kid, of course it was all about the candy and getting to dress up.
Now Ken is another story. He is a Halloween nut!! He has always been into movie makeup and the whole horror thing. The last 2 years he has not been in Antarctica, so the house has been done. Year before last he did the whole Blair Witch theme. Last year he did the Exorcist thing. He only had one neighbor complain about her being tied to the bed. So he undid her but left her arms up. She even threw up water on passers by. He loves buying the kits to do the pumpkins too. He only put a knife through his thumb 1 time .
