growing the fuck upYou are in your late 40's?
Everyone: Make sure you get pics of your costumes! I'm excited to see The Bore dressed up.
I dress up as Harry Potter every year for work (the kids and staff think I look like him, go figure), but I don't think we're doing anything on Halloween. I'd hand out candy while we watch scary movies, but stupid over-protective parents don't let their kids trick-or-treat in neighborhoods anymore, they go to malls instead. ::)

Awww :gloomy
Yankees-Phillies Game 3..
My aunt is preparing for the apocalypse with the amount of candy and shit she bought, so apparently in the Chicago suburbs trick or treating is still pretty big.
Sounds pretty fucking lame.
Once you get older, Americans really let it hang loose - booze, candy and sexy costumes. It becomes a sexually charged holiday; women will do anything during that one day.
It really is disappearing from suburbia, and parents are taking their kids to malls and shopping centers. That's lame. Part of what made trick-or-treating so great was the possibility that your candy had razor blades or strychnine in it!

I live in an urban village neighborhood of Seattle with lots of houses, condos and townhouses, and I know for a fact that there are tons of kids in those townhouses and condos. We've been in our house for the past two Halloweens and every year we put out jack-o-lanterns on the porch and a hanging pumpkin lantern in the front yard. Never had a single trick-or-treat'er. When we lived on top of Queen Anne hill (mega rich neighborhood), we got ONE kid all night. ONE.
smh x infinity
Yeah, that sounds about right. It's the same thing over on this coast.
I think 9/11 and (locally) the Beltway sniper scared a lot of folks in terms of letting their kids trick-or-treat. At least, that's my guess. I really can't fathom how it is NOT safer than we were kids. I mean, I remember most of my friends went out in the surrounding neighborhoods without adult supervision, getting candy from God knows who.
This was before the Internet, we knew which neighbors were pedophiles, more secure candy, etc. Those wrappers were flimsy when I was younger.
I remember the family who did a haunted house in their front yard every year, and the old lady who gave out bottles of Green River and full-sized candy bars. Good times, where have you gone?
Magic: The Gathering Game Day.
Yeah, my fear is in another generation or two, I'll be one of those old fogeys that says, "... back in my day, we used to go door to door and trick-or-treat!"

... did anyone die from razor blades or poison from Halloween candy? I feel like, as a child, that was a real fear. I remember parents taking their kids to x-ray their candy and stuff.
Since I live in a nice, little safe alcove with two-story houses, I'll see a modest amount of trick-or-treaters - mostly tykes. My brother is working, so a friend and I are probably going to watch movies, drink beer, carve pumpkins and hand out candy. Relatively low key affair.
Monopoly tournament?
Man, living life in the fast lane.
fucking studying. :'(
Can't wait for tomorrow, with the unveiling of the real costume.

this is my biggest halloween pet peeve
its much more attractive when you go all out and make an awesome costume
wearing a sexy costume just means youre boring
Fever around 100 so not that bad, more pain is in the throat. Going out in about an hour.
I think I'm going to watch The Thing again tonight while eating fun size chocolate bars.

You stole my idea!
I still can't find anything to do here as cool as there was to do back in Sacramento. Apparently downtown is going to become a police state crawling with every type of law enforcement around.
watched that masters of horror episode "the screwfly solution"
verdict: terrible
getting ready to watch "believers" by one of the guys from the blair witch project

Holy crap, the police ran after some crackhead or something that tried to run into my neighbor's backyard. He's handcuffed on the sidewalk as kid's are walking around him with buckets full of candy. :lol:lol
