Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

We'll have friends over like we always do, watch scary movies, and get a little drunk.

It's more what we do Halloween Day. We have a 1 yr old so my husband and I will most likely take her around to see her great grandparents and other family in her costume and take pictures. I'm having such a hard time deciding what to dress her as. No TOTing for her. Don't get me wrong our girl looooves the candy but she doesn't quite grasp the concept of TOTing. Maybe next year. We also hand out candy, we have a good amount of children in our area.

thanks god it's on a saturday this year i will watch horror movies all day (concluding my annual horrorthon with a showcase screening of john carpenter's halloween), go to central park in the late afternoon to enjoy what will hopefully be a nice fall day, on my way back home i'll walk through the neighborhood to see trick-r-treaters in the early evening, then go to the halloween parade in the village with my girl that night

I decorate inside the 1st of Oct but never put anything outside until the day of halloween.

Pretty much the same as your, movies, take-out food and drinks.

The decorations are up for a month, mostly Autumn stuff that stays up until Thanksgiving weekend, but a lot of Halloween, of course

last year, they had a makeshift haunted house in central park - right near the mall in the pic that i posted... hopefully they'll have it again this year... that was fun - and free

Well i'm a traditionalist so most things i'll do i do every year but i always throw in new things during the day (a new haunted house, making random decorations, ect)

this year i'll get up and join a group a friends for an early breakfast at some restraunt
after that i'll go to a "local" mom and pop store to buy my bags of candy
after getting everything ready for the toters it should be getting close to lunch which i'll meet back up with friends at a restraunt and then to a good scary moive at the theatre

after that TRICK OR TREATING!! (i do take my little bro around one block in my neighborhood before giving him to my mom lol then i start to pass out the candy!!)
which means at my house: decorations by the millions hahaha, a bon fire, music, and Hocus Pocus on the big screne on my front porch

after the last trick or treater is gone and hocus pocus's credits are rolling, and when my stomach just can't handle any more candy, we all switch into our other costumes and head to the party which i host every year!!

this year and indoor graveyard/zombie themed

I'll be handing out candy as usual and running around trying to make sure the decorations are fine, while simultaneously hooking up the iPod dock with all the Halloween music.

If all goes well, I'll escape this year with just a heart attack.

that sounds like a great day, adrian

halloween (which i'm sure its like this in you guys cases as well) is a VERY big deal in my house and if you're a friend of mine by god you're celebrating it and having a blast doing it

Well, the day before, I will take my kids to the museum (they have old houses there that are to be preserved since they are a part of Las Vegas history), they decorate the houses and we will trick or treat there at all of the old houses. They have an old train there too that they decorate, so cool. The day of Halloween, I will be burning pumpkin scented candles, getting all of my final touches in with my decorations, and watching horror movies all day. At night, I will take my kids out to go tot, we are going to go to every house that has a light on! Last year, we stayed out really late so I think we are going to go a little earlier with our pillowcases! I hate those stupid little bags you can buy at the store, I give the kids King size pillowcases! My husband will stay home and pass out candy from our house : )

Definitely will watch Halloween and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. The plans are that me and the wife are babysitting a friend's son, so we'll take him trick or treating earlier in the evening which will be a blast.

We will be taking the kids around the neighborhood then heading to the Samhain Ritual. I am thinking since its on a Saturday I may take my kids to the corn maze that isn't too far. It's a first year maze and I am pretty excited!
