Halloween!

[Amanda Morrison]

I can't believe it's already October. The last memory I have was ribbing Dave Lavery at IRI... sigh.

But... October means Halloween, one of my favorite holidays ever! Personally, I hate scary movies... but I get to dress up like a dork! and the CANDY! Who can forget the candy? (I'm a big advocate of candy.)

So, I figured... who better to tell me about their crazy Halloween costumes and adventures in the name of candy, than the kids that dress up in giant hats and wear all pink in the name of robots?

I need some suggestions for this year's costume, too.



I seem to know a team that would appreciate that one...

I found a lot of cool ones, like Snow White, Tinkerbell, and even Cruella DeVille (I think my boyfriend would say that one fits the best). Any ideas?

Oh, and what's your favorite kind of candy for Halloween? I like Bit-O-Honey.

/edit: I could always go in my costume from our CD Costume Party... maybe I can go as leftovers... I could go as a giant... or I could even go as Slash... or a mechanic... hrmn.

Not sure if I'll be going out this year but since there is a halloween thread, this picture needs to be put in:
Guess who?
Sorry Dave

P.S. Favorite Candy: Milky Way

[Dorienne]

I seem to find the average ones interesting. I'll attach my pic of when I was 2 in an astronaut outfit. It was very annoying yet cute. *shrug*
Favorite candy: ooooh...I gotta go with the lollipops. Though I can't get enough of Milky Ways either..;-)

Personally, I don't like halloween too much. I'm a big scardy cat.
But this is the coolest costume EVER!!!!

What about a robot? It would be quite easy with a roll or two of aluminum foil and some flexible clothes dryer duct. Of course, if you can't think of anything else, you always have this idea to fall back on!


As for me I don't dress up anymore. Instead I decorate the yard differently every year for Halloween. I have 11 spotlights, several black lights, 3 fog machines, 20 some grave stones, a coffin, and numerous skeletons and other figures. This year it's mainly going to be a graveyard since I haven't done one in a few years.
Last year I did a funeral. I spent a week converting my spare car, an '87 Chevrolet Caprice Classic wagon into a hearse complete with fabric over the windows and a fake coffin in the back. I had someone offer to bring up a real hearse (I just hope it's empty! ) but I never took him up on the offer. I put my wagon back to stock since I still drive it at times but it was worth it for that one day.

As for favorite candy, anything with chocolate as long as it doesn't have nuts (I'm allergic to nuts).

I'm going to bring back this guy:

Do a little work to him...try to find a better wig and maybe some leather gloves to hide my hands. Maybe ill vary the outfit a bit...we'll see

[Bridgette]

A few years ago, one of my friends tried to be a giant raisin for Halloween. She wore a garbage bag, and at every house, whoever was giving out candy would ask her what she was. I don't think I'm going to dress up, but if I did I would probably be some kind of food object, maybe a sandwich.

I, too, don't like scary movies either. They're too...scary for me.

I think I'm gonna try this or some kind of dark, mysterious monk robe.

I used to enjoy Halloween a lot, but then I worked in a party store last October (need I say more?). Having to deal with customers who can't understand that some costumes are already sold out by the week before Halloween and leave piles of costume pieces and packages in the dressing rooms, and having managers breathing down my neck to push the costume accessories, not to mention hearing "Thriller" every 5 minutes (a good song, which is now also ruined for me), killed most of my Halloween spirit.
But there are rumors of a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show here on campus this Halloween (with the audience participation), which could very well rekindle my spirit.

i think last year i dressed up in a vampire mask, a hawian tshirt, a hawian hat thing and shorts. ther was one little kid who said "Mommy can i touch the monster?"

I'm hoping to be a happy Bills fans watching the Bills slap around the Cardinals at the Ralph on Halloween.

Well, last year, i was the Stay Puft Marshmellow from Ghostbuster. It was pretty insane, people were staring at me the whole day, and my teachers couldnt get over it. Ill try to get a picture up if i can find one.

I still cant think of what im going to be this year, b/c i gotta upstage that. One of my friends and i were thinking of being Luigi and Mario. We also have people set up to be a Koopa Troopa, Toad, Daisy, and Peach. So that might be pretty good.

OK, so I started working at the Haunted Graveyard this weekend, and I am a house manager for two houses.

I wear an all grey costume and wear a glow in the dark wolf face costume which looks great in the pitch black cave..

I will be working on Halloween, and the day before (btw) Oct 30th I will be turning 25.
