Best & Worst Halloween Ever
Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2010 2:38 pm
Hi folks:
I was curious about what your best and worst Halloween memories are. I'll start by stating mine.
My best Halloween that I can remember was the very first year I celebrated it in my house in Dwight. I had a huge bash all through the month of October that year. We had our family Halloween bonfire at the beginning of October, and then a few of my old friends and some of my neighbors got to gether at my house for a Halloween barbecue and bon fire. I also had a fire in the fire place and we watched horror movies and even told scary stories about various haunted places. That was how I found out that my house was supposedly haunted. One of the neighors brought over some home made taffy apples. His wife made the carmel covering from scratch.
My absolute worst Halloween was the first year we moved to arm-pit New Lenox Ill. We were so busy with the move, that we didn't even get a chance to buy or carve a pumpkin. The house we moved into was one of those typical sub division types with an attached garage, and the entire atmosphere was just completely un traditional and boring. We had ToT rs, but the only thing we were able to scround up for them were some cheap loly pops. My younger sister wanted to go ToTing, but she couldn't, because we had to unpack all our things and put them away. The house was in a total uproar. We watched an "Adams Family" tv halloween special on a little 12 inch black & white tv, because out good tv was still packed, and we had to wait for the installer to get our antenna hooked up. (in those days there was no cable tv, so we were waiting on the instalation of an outdoor tv antenna) On top of that, I was very depressed about the move. The only silver lining in that cloud was the fact that I had a day off from school the following day for All Saints Day.

But, the first worst on Halloween in 1985 that my school wanted every one of us to come to a Halloween party at night from 6 pm to 9 pm, and if one of us refuse to come in then the teachers would give a "Zero" on my grade! That's really silly! 
But, that was good most of the parents complained to the principal the next day and the principal changed her mind not to have a Halloween party at school again for next year. So, in 1986 we did toting at home! Yay!
