Halloween Costumes

So, what is everyone going as? Do you go out trick-or-treating, or do you stay in and hand out candy (see the poll)? Just curious. I'm going as The Hurricane again (which means a new picture of me on the first), and I stay in and greet all the little kids that come around to my house (and believe me, there are a lot of little ones in the neighborhood), while my mom takes my brother and sister out. What do you do?

on halloween this woman in our town throws herself a huge bash because it is also her birthday. she invites like half the town, so she hires me and a friend of mine to hand out candy to the kids for her. one year she ran out of candy so she was giving away kentucky fried chicken. since its a costume party im dressing like a NY GIANT

I don't go out for Halloween any more, I am dedicated to scaring the Heck out of people HERE!!!!

But... Halloween has always been a huge part of my life during the fall, since my Birthday is the night before on mischief night!!!

Almost all of my Birthday parties growing up were Halloween themed!!!

And I own more Halloween decorations than any other holiday (including Christmas) although it has been a while since I put them all up at once, I am organizing them this year and so far I have 8 bins full of decorations (the size of the bins in the game this year) and also, many large (outdoor) decorations that need bigger bins, or boxes!!!



And, actually I just got back from a weekend stay up in the North Shore Massachusetts area, or Salem in particular, where I took part in all the Halloween Happenings up there!

It's not just a holiday, it's an obsession!!!

You're never too old for Halloween! I always wear a costume to work, one year, I was the only one who did, but last year I convinced some other people to and we went trick or treating in the office (got some candy, some paper clips, a couple of pens and a fork and a bottle of white out). Halloween is by far my favorite holiday!

The party I'm going to this year has an Edgar Allan Poe theme and I haven't done a costume yet. Not to worry, I'll probably just paint my face a very pale color with dark eye make-up, wear all black, including my black hooded Ren Fest cloak, grab my scythe and crow (costume about 4 years ago) and put on a red mask for Poe's Masque of the Red Death. A friend who is going to the same party has a broken ankle, and she's going to put a label on her cast and go as The Cast of Amontillado. And I think my Picklehead is going as the Black Cat...

Halloween has always been kinda big in my family, seeing as how it is my little sister's birthday (she turns 16 this year!) I like getting dressed up and being creative... its so much fun!
My favorite part of Halloween tho are the haunted houses... i love when people are scared out of their wits, its so amusing.

A local university has this old 1922 horror film, supposedly themost graphic of its era, except this time it is set to Jazz.

They are playing it on halloween, and some friends and I are going,

Except we are all dressing up as various 2001: a Space Oddessey characters.

We have a HAL, a Dave, a Frank (i'm not the Frank), maybe some cryogenically frozen scientists, etc.

I will be the monolith. A big black box. haha!

I chose the dress up and go trick or treating choice because Halloween is actually on a Friday this year. But regarding "dressing up", isn't a tired sleep-deprived teenager scary enough?

It's my sister's birthday also (like Teresa's lil' sister, but mine is older). Anyways, if I would trick-or-treat, I would go as myself. I have no role model really to dress up as (which is really why we do, we imitate what we know, and what we wish to be/look like).

i disagree with that... generally speaking, you dress up as something you couldn't be, but for one night, it is possible. for instance, a child dresses like a werewolf... i doubt that they wish they were that... but for one night, they can be it.
Also, I know that what I dress up as is not something I wish I could be... one year I was a blind old man, and several others a trollop... I know for a fact that I do not want to be either, its just fun to dress up and be someone else for the night.
