Best & Worst Halloween Ever

[beichh4046]

My best Halloween ever was a couple of years ago when my kids were neither too young nor too old to enjoy all aspects of Halloween night.

By that I mean they weren't too young to be scared of everything or to old to be too cool for the fun.

They may out grow ToT, but nobody outgrows Halloween in my opinion. I swear, I have as much fun giving out the candy as I did when I use to get it, and I LOVE horror movies in October. One of my favorite October activities it to watch a scary movie like "The Blair Witch Project" with all the lights turned out.

I don't put on a costume and go ToTing door to door any more, but I still LOVE Halloween. I even celebrate "Little Halloween" every time the 13th of the month falls on a Friday. May 13th will be on a Friday this year, and you can bet that I will be screening a horror show of some kind, most likely one of my "Dark Shadows" videos, with one of my plastic jack o'lanterns to add a little mood.

Pumpkin_Man We do the same thing when the 13th falls on a Friday...We usually end the night watching our favorite Halloween movies (HALLOWEEN) all night long going through bowls of popcorn and count down the days till Halloween.....I (Knock on wood) have always has a great Halloween season. I decorate as soon as i see the Halloween stuff comes out in the stores (usually around the end of August) and party it up till Halloween. I love the holiday so much this past October my husband and I married October 30th having a Halloween wedding.

That's great, Halloweenluv. I usualy put my decorations up at the end of September, but I do a lot of preparing towards the end of August, and my favorite time to make "haunted roat trips" is between Aug 1st and October 31st. Of course, that doesn't preclude me from making a 'haunted road trip' at other times of the year. In fact, I plan to visit the home town of Ed Gein in May, weather permitting. I also have a few other places that I want to visit, but I am definately planning on a 'haunted roat trip' in October.

My oldest niece and her man married on October 29th. They wanted to marry on the actual 31st, but the year they got married it was on a weekday, and they wouldn't have been able to get enough people to go to the wedding because of their work schedules. They did a Halloween themed wedding which included marching down the isle after the ceremony to the song "Lucy & Linus," the opening theme to "IT's the Great Pumpkin charlie Brown." I video taped their wedding, and it was quite the celebration. They do a Halloweent hemed annivarsary party every year, too. So I am not the only member of my family who likes Halloween best.

As for "Little Halloween," unfortunately it won't be as extravigant as I would like it. I have a very important photo shoot, and I won't be home until after 11. But then again, Midnight is the "witching hour," so a horror movie or a "Dark Shadows" video tape and a plastic jack o'lantern would go quite nicely after that long day. I definately am going to do that.
