It's that time of the year again

[Vodstok]

Summer isnt officially over yet, but that doesnt stop the stores from stocking their shelves with Halloween decorations already. Bree and I are already stoked, we are already getting Lily's costume together (Emily Elizabeth this year, last year was Izzy from Grey's Anatomy) and without prompting, our intuitive little girl is already asking for halloween books for bedtime.

But here is what made it official: I got myself some Lovecraft books and already cracked them open. It has beena long time coming, but I am finally almost finished with Shadow Over Innsmouth. It has taken me over 2 years to get this far. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it is lovecraft, and is excellent, but i dont own any books with it, and life has managed to get in the way everytime i have tried. But that is about to change.

I will strip these books of every other story of his i dont aqlready have, then i will go over to my own books. Halloween = HP Lovecraft for me :)

When I came onto this I thought it was the awards thread. :(

sorry to disappoint you. Now that you mention it, i think the other thread had the exact same title. Well, if Paris Hilton can copyright "That's Hot" then i can claim ownership over the title :p


i will post some pictures later, but we have a monster pumpkin plant growing in our back yard. we stuck last year's pumpkins behind the fence, then left them there over the winter.

Once spring came around, we scooped their rotted corpses and flung them into the fenced in pile of leaves in our back yard. Now, we have 2 gigantic plants, one with small pumpkins, one with huge ones. (I call that one "Bree" ;))

I am so stoked for Halloween this year.

[Vodstok]

do you all still trick or treat?

last time i went, i had an old man come to the door and totally ignore me and my couzin and gave kids behind us candy instead.

he looked at us like we were crazy.....

[Vodstok]

Im a bit too old to trick or treat (im 32), but i have 2 year old who happens to be adorable and is the kind of kid who will ask for a second candy bar from the cool hopuses that give out full sized candy. And she gets it :)


And you cant let a little kid eat all that candy by themselves, its bad for them and i would be a horrible father if i didnt relieve her of some :D

[Disease]

Summer, what the fuck is summer?

[pinkfloyd45769]

I don't trick or treat,we are the cool house that gives the good candy:)My kids go and i go along.I think its still as much fun watching them as it is to go when you are a kid:)I don't dress up in a costume anymore either,unless i go to a party.I'm already in the Halloween spirit;)

I've been working the past two months to get ready for my monthlong celebration of Halloween on NeverEndingWonder Radio. I'm trying to get some really special surprizes for listeners this year.

[pinkfloyd45769]

Thats cool:) What do you have in mind NE?

[neverending]

Well, if I told you, they wouldn't be surprizes!

[crabapple]

Can't wait to hear some of this neat new stuff, Neverending!

Tis the season. Yes! That is damn right. Love a pumpkin! Hang your jack o lanterns out on a shingle! Autumn is here!! Well not yet, but pretty near, so HEY! Do the Halloween thing, people.

As much as I hate to see summer end...I really do like the Halloween season. We already have a party planed and I am looking forward to hearing what neverending has in store. Really people....if you haven't tuned into his site yet, you are missing out on some really neat stuff. Mos Def not the "same old, same old".



no.....he is not paying me to advertise.......I just really enjoy the "offbeat" kinda stuff.:D

[ferretchucker]

They don't really start doing halloween stuff til mid September here. But I've got my costume set. I bought a Freddy Krueger outfit back in February off eBay when there'd be less demand!

[pinkfloyd45769]

I can understand stockinh Halloween merchandise,its not like its really that far off.I went into a Walmart today and right beside the Halloween section there it was....CHRISTMAS shit!!!! Thats what bugs me,you have to look at the shit for months before it even gets here.Does that bug anyone else?
