Halloween 2004
 

Since the best season of them all has officially begun with the appearance of Halloween shit on the Wal-Mart shelves, this thread will be dedicated to the recording of your Halloween season. Got a new mask? Tried a new piece of candy? Bought some decorations for the house? Write about it here.

I bought four bags of Halloween candy yesterday. They were all "Monster Parts" candy. Pieces of chocolate made to look like eyeballs, severed ears, lips, toes, and fingers. What's more, they are delicious! (The eyeballs are filled with a creamy fudge, the ears: rice crisipies, the lips: peanut butter). Pour a bag of these into a huge bowl and it's a nice effect. A bowl brimming with parts! (Actually, you'll need more than one bag, since each bag doesn't hold a lot of candy). I plan on stocking up on these and holding out the bowl to the Trick-or-Treaters on Halloween night.

My mom got me a skull mask that only costed $1 :p I think that's the only Halloween thing I've gotten so far this year. I still need a Leatherface mask and a fake chainsaw that makes noise.

it is a beautiful thing, u can feel it, the cool air, its like a touch of relief. i was shocked also to see halloween stuff on the shelves . i had to look around, all the costumes, all the whigs, make up ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! i try and keep my decorations around year long , my bleeding pumpkin, scary tree, and eerie jack o lantern with glowing red eyes, and more. arioch and i's aprtment always has a sense of halloween. though we need more lights. we plan on buying more when a better selection arrives, maybe when spirit opens.

its nice to have found ppl who have the same appreciation for this holiday!

I love October...smoky-smelling with the sky orange and ash gray at twilight...

I will be looking for Halloween-themed candy this weekend. :cool:

Best month EVER!!! I think im gonna be a witch this year:D

Male or female?

I don't know....i smell a gender swap coming on....

I can't think about halloween until after the 2nd of october. My daughter is getting married on that date and my wife is driving me fucking nuts talking about it.

I had to stock our shelves of the halloween stuff. It's like Christmas opening those boxes to see what we got. Alot of it's cheap crap but it's still halloween. Theres a "Plastic man" mask that is clearly MJ but it calls it "Plastic man" on the box. It's pretty f'n creepy. Mabye i'll pick that up.

If so....here is a good avatar for ya

one of my favorites as a kid.


edit: oops...too late...I see you picked one.

<-----BAM!!!

::BUMP::

I have no idea what I'll be going as ... that is, IF I dress up. I probably won't, though. Might scare my daughter. I bought several more bags of the "Monster Lab" candy I wrote about, and had to get a Halloween bowl to put them all in (we had a Halloween bowl, but we must have lost it or something during the move. I can't find it anywhere.)

I plan on buying Wal-Mart's "Haunted Wind Chimes" as soon as I get the cash, even though it's only $12. That's the only cool thing they have on the shelves right now. Still waiting on the rest of the stuff.

God Elizabeth Montgomerie is sooo fit!!! I mean back then of course. Reckon she might be a little wrinkled now. Wish she was my witchy partner.

Yes....I had a crush on her when I was a kid. Unfortunately we will never know if she would haved aged well. She died from cancer in 1995.

hallo's eve
 

yes

On the Fangoria site they are selling a zombie costume for $50.
It includes mask with wig, shirt and pants with sewn in body parts. Not a bad deal but I myself don't like to wear masks. It encumbers my beer drinking.

Thats a shame. Its still ok to fantasise about her whilst watching the re-runs. Dick Yorke was a lucky bloke. Bewitched beats I Dream of Genie (sp?) hands down.

I want to be an X-men this Halloween...or Invisible Women from the Fantastic Four :D

Last night, I bought a hanging Grim Reaper (well .... it's dressed like the reaper, but it doesn't have a scythe), and some "Blood Drippings" -- jelly-like substance that you stick to the tops of your windowsills, so it looks like blood is leaking down -- and a Halloween coloring book for my child, all for the low, low price of $6.89! Woo hoo! I'm going back for more in a couple of days .... that is, if Ivan doesn't totally blow us away.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be unloading trucks on Halloween...*sigh*...Oh well...

I havent bought anything yet (saving all of that for after the wedding and honeymoon) but we recently found out that our new neiighborhood has an average of 70 to 200 kids per house per night!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:



We are going all out :) I cant wait.

LAst year Bree was at school halloween night, so i ended up giving most of our candy to my parents to hand out, but not this year :)

Why use a fake chainsaw?????????

what are you doing for halloween?
 

Im gonna rent all the halloween movies except number 3

bc, dude... there's a thread like this just below ! how hard is it to shift your gaze ?? :p

really, well i didnt know what he meant by that, for all we know it could mean anything

I'll try talking to that succubus that works in the Red Cross stand. She looks very sexy.

i live on a farm, and my front yard is about ten acres. i plan on having a halloween party this year, so im going to get a bunch of my scrap lumber and make a fake cemetary with a bunch of old fashion wood crosses. i am also going to take my lawnmower and mow a maze in the high grass in the field. ive been gathering old wood for a bonfire at night, plus i'm gonna have the basics, bobbing for apples, wiener roasting, pin the tail on the donkey. and finally a spooky hay ride, hopefully with a couple of "monsters" to scare the kids. and plenty of beer for the adults. if anyone has any suggestions for cool stuff to do at halloween parties, feel free to share.

Halloween isnt that big in Australia, i might paint my windows red, i wanna have a halloween party though :(

Haha! I'd love to use a real one. But with my luck, I'd fall on it and cut my leg off or something.
Otherwise, it would be more fun to use a real one. I finally found my mask/chainsaw at Spencer's. :D I haven't actually gotten them yet but I know they have them and I'll be getting them this weekend, hopefully.

At work last year, I was Michael Myers and some girl asked if my knife was real. :rolleyes: Yeah, it's really plastic. haha...I thought that was a stupid question. It was one of those bleeding knives and it was pretty realistic I guess, but not THAT realistic. I wanted to use a real knife, but again, with my luck, I was afraid I'd fall on it and stab myself to death or something...and I'm sure if I went in work with a real knife or chainsaw, they'd send me home.

halloween is my fav holiday and its also my birthday. i take my girls out trick or treating every year. its great

Just heard of a cool lawn decoration for sale at Spencer's. It is an animatronic zombie torso that you place in your yard (so it looks like it is coming up out of the ground). It's pretty detailed, so it looks quite real. But best of all .... it tears its own head off. :D

Just decorated the house for Halloween yesterday. I was worried that we were starting a little too early, but when we saw people driving by and ogling our handiwork, I was glad we started. People, I think, aren't saying: "Look that those idiots! They're already decorated for Halloween", but are saying "Look! They've decorated! Let's put ours up, too!" instead. But, I'll have to drive around and see if we've actually started off the decorating for the community this year.

Anyway, we have green slime lights, and orange and purple lights across the eaves and around the columns in the front of our house. We have a graveyard, with a guy coming up out of the ground (he lights up, too ... a ghostly blue color that fades in and out) and his tombstone (which lights up as well). We have a row of Jack-o-Lantern spike-lights going across the right front of the house and "Warning: This House is Haunted!" security tape x-ed across the two main windows. We have an assortment of ghoulish monsters hanging from the eaves, that jelly-like fake blood I wrote about earlier dripping from the top of my office window, and "blinking eye" lights in the main front windows. We have a door panel for our glass door (which is a traditional Halloween-looking thing with black cats, witches and skeletons), and a big, inflatable black cat sitting behind a jack-o-lantern (one of those nylon things that self-inflates). We also have a variety of window decorations (light up pumpkins, spiders, and owls) and those "Haunted Wind Chimes" you can get at Wal-Mart (which are really fun).

Phew!

Maybe I should just post a picture of the decor when I get the film developed.

Hey! We should make that a contest. "Post your Halloween Decorations" and we all vote on who's is the best! Sound good?

Wow! Your house sounds awesome! I just started buying stuff yesterday. I've only bought a couple things so far. I bought some of those window clingy things (a glow in the dark mummy) and a zombie head candle that when you light it the red wax inside runs out of the mouth, eyes and ears like blood! I've bought everything at Wal-Mart so far myself. Oh yeah and a cd with theme songs from horror movies for less than 7 bucks!

I saw the haunted wind chimes myself and thought about buying them. Since you seem so happy with yours, I may go get them today!


Happy decorating everyone!!! :D

Just finished buying some more decorations today. I bought this small, jointed, wooden skeleton to hang from the porch, a grim reaper that hangs and lights up, makes sound and moves when it's motions sensor is tripped, a string of Jason Vorhees head lights to go across the front of my porch, some of the yellow tape that reads "Caution: Enter At Your Own Risk" and a wooden Jack-O-Lantern sign with arrows pointing in different directions. (Holy Crap...that was one sentence...)

I also bought some different graphics that you can stick to your wall. One is bars with hands reaching out and the other is blood oozing. They're supposed to be safe for "most smooth wall surfaces" but when I went to remove the blood so I could straighten it, it pulled some of the paint off in a couple of spots. So, I very gently pulled of the one with the arms reaching out and thankfully didn't do anymore damage. I was kinda pissed.

Oh well, sorry for such a long post. :o ;)

Sounds like everyone will have pretty wicked houses. One question though, Why does everyone buy the stuff to decorate their houses? Not that there is a problem with that just a question. I remember all the time seeing what we could create at my house. Costumes, Props, Or Decorations. I don't know mabye cause I'm the more artistic kind of person, just some of my best memories were creating halloween with my brothers and father. Making tombstones out of plywood, Making the fences for our graveyard and such. Our house always had such a reputation for being scary. Mabye this is just me and why I am going into the career I am. One thing that puts a smile on my face. Anyone else create their own decorations? Here's a link to a very very good site with tons of projects to help your haunt. http://www.markbutler.8m.com/monsterlist.htm Mabye this can inspire some of you. If your mothers, fathers, whatevers, bring the family into this. Such a great holiday and can be so much more. I'm going to really miss this while living in my apartment. No yard to decorate. Hopefully though I can make it out to treat all the trickers though. Keep use all posted with your houses though. One great thing about this is the abilaty to post pics. So every post their house.

i can't go out i have to give candy out... but im going to get this jason mask at party city it is cool its made of a real hockey mask with fake jason skin in the head area... i have a costom for it and im buying a real machette to frak the crap outa ppl

i think all im doing this year it buying some redneck teeth.

know what i just realized the other night. i remmeber when we were little my neighbors were all like 'halloween is a dieing holiday' and all that shit. and every year, yeh, its ended earlier and earlier with fewer kids comin around

ive been thinking that since the 5th grade... MAN. and only last night i realized, ITS CUZ EVERY FUCKIN YEAR THES KIDS GET OLDER!! GOD IM STUPID. cuz my cousin has hella young kids in her neighborhood so she gets hella trick or treaters

but seriously though, in my neighborhood once u hit like 5 feet theyre like 'arent ut oo old' fuckin A i been 5'2 since 6th grade and ur yellin at me my sophomore yr in HS just like u yelled at me in 6th grade. and these are the fucks that buy the cheap candy that are gettin all groucho at me. FUCKIN JERK OFFS!

You know, I WOULD create my own decorations (it seems that many of my ideas you just can't find to buy anywhere), but I simply do not have the time (I'm a teacher.) I will, however, make a stuffed person to prop on our porch swing ... probably over fall break.

Thankfully, we have plenty of trick-or-treaters in the town I live in now. If you live in a town with a mall, your trick-or-treater days are over. All the moms and pops take their kids to the fuckin' mall on Halloween night. Talk about commercializing a holiday! Halloween seems so much different today than it was when I was a kid. <sigh .... slips into a fog of nostalgia>

Do I hear a class project? Hahah
