Halloween!!

[Q9]

I love Halloween - my sister goes trick-or-treating, and my dad and I can watch a nice, violent, action-packed movie.

Actually, I'd love to have a fake machine gun and a bunch of firecrackers - hidden, of course. The first poor sap who comes trick-or-treating...

That is almost definitely illegal, so I won't do it. Oh, but the joy it would bring me.

YES! I am not alone in my gun-oriented sadism! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not a Halloween costume but cool none the less.

That's a cosplayer who is undoubtedly at a convention. A lot of cosplayers have amazing costumes that would win any (non-rigged) Halloween costume contests. The problem is, Halloween can get dangerous for a costume with people wanting to touch them, or punks deciding to tear them apart, and spilling food and drinks. A lot of care goes into handmade costumes, so many people are hesitant to take them out on a night notorious for mischief.
Some cosplayers do reuse their costumes (as a few here have said) and others are more content with a store bought costume and not having people ask 'What are you supposed to be?'

I'm into Halloween more than any other holiday. It's better than Christmas for me.

Usually no snow, costumes, scaring teens and adults in haunted houses (small kids are either too dazed to be scared or are left alone) and of course all the tasty candies. Especially Reese's.
I have a zombie costume to work on for a local Zombie walk, and I have to finish my costume for the haunted house my family puts up. It's my last year being a full participant (I've moved away) so I'm gonna do what I can to live it up! I'm not a scare-actor this year, we get such a line up we need some people to walk the crowds to keep them entertained, so that's that I'm going to do.

I put on an old wig that is all matted up, add some spiders to my apron, and go to work as 'The Scary Lunch Lady'

Hmm-I'm wondering what I should be for Halloween. I was thinking Alice in Wonderland, but since I saw the costume on here I was thinking a blackbird?

Even way back when I would trick-or-treat, I would never go the "scary" route. I always tended towards simple costumes - I was a soldier several times. It helped that I had, and still have, a trenchcoat.

The best holiday.....the best. From what I remember when I was a kiddo I liked it better than Christmas!!! Bags and bags of candy back in the day..and ya went to every house...even the ones without the lights on!!! The kids are grown and gone now.....but I still set up a graveyard out front with spooky lighting and a fog machine.... and carve Jack O Lanterns to line the long driveway to guide the little Hallow Weenies up the drive..it is very dark on our side of the street.......I love it. I always wanted to follow the skeletal structure of the horses with a glow in the dark water based paint for when the passing vehicles trained their lights our direction...then I never searched to see if there was such a thing. It'd be cool though huh?!!

I love Halloween too! I try to go to a costume party every year so I can dress up! I was a glow stick one year, it was easy and so fun was a big hit!
