What is everyone's plans for Halloween?

I will probably attend some party and do the Haunted House thing. I want to see The House Of Shock (NOLA) but it's too far a drive from Cali.

I plan to hunker down and watch the Halloween series and listen to Coast to Coast AM although that night it's called Ghost to Ghost AM and will feature all ghost stories all night.

The House of Shock would be awesome to see. There is no good haunted houses near where I live. We do have a giant haunted ship, but it's the same every year...not scary. The only thing that I'm scared of is smashing my face when I trip, because it's so damn dark in there.

Spirit....I make a tradition of that as well... I rent the original Halloween and also I'll take the girls Trick or Treating. I love Halloween and of COURSE I'll break out Silence Is Madness and listen to All Hallow's Eve!! I even took that cassette to Africa in 97-98 with limited baggage allowed so I could keep that tradition!

i will work & go home & drink beer. as always. only difference is the next day i will be washing egg from my front porch from all the neighborhood bastards.

I can't wait till I have kid(s) someday so I can take them out trick or treating, but that will be awhile yet. I also like to listen to the original War of the Worlds, by Orsen Wells. Man Halloween is great!

Do they do that only to you?

We'll take the kids trick-er-treatin' through Wabash College in town.
It's a private men’s college and they do some pretty funny whacky
haunted houses and pass out candy. It also hit me last year that for
some reason the costume of choice by the students and frat houses is to
dress up as hookers......or....."fancy" as my then 9-year-old son
observed.

I'll be throwing eggs at mc666's front porch:lol!:

Throw a basket for me too!

My four year old will be dressing up as Superman and I'll be taking him and my niece (who is undecided about her costume as of this writing) for a spin around the neighborhood to scam as much candy as possible.

Once the young'un is in bed, I'll probably watch a horror film on TV... preferably one of the Halloween series, but I'll figure that out as the big day gets closer

yeah of the "home made" variety. if you see a piece of corn in your tootsie, it would be wise not to eat it.

My family works in the Rio Rancho Parks and Recreation Haunted House. We've worked in it for the past few years. My kids and myself are performers (scarers), and my wife usually works at the end of the house when people exit where they can fill out a poll on what they thought and they get candy and such. We really enjoy doing it together. They have a professional make-up artist that does the makeup. Last year I played a host of characters. Here's one of them:


And my daughter:


and another night:


All these photos were taken in the dressing/staging area. One you get intot house, which has the right lighting and effects, the make-up works great! It's one of the best haunted houses I've ever been to.

I believe the wife & I have a party to attend. No invites yet, but the same couple hosts a (lame) party every year and every year we go, then ask ourselves "Why do we go through all of this for their lame party?" On the plus side, 2 years in a row, we won for best costume, which after seeing some of the competition, wasn't too hard. Last year, I was Steve Irwin and my wife was a stingray. The year before, I was Cap'n Crunch and my wife was a carton of milk. We haven't decided on costumes for this year yet, although I've got an idea brewing.

LOL too soon man...but that's pretty interesting

People that knew us and our dark sense of humor thought it was great, but there were a few folks at the party that didn't know us and seemed a little put off. And we did it shortly after the "South Park" episode of the same theme ("Too soon, man, too soon."), although I honestly came up with the idea before I saw it.

I can look for them when I get home. I have no idea where the wife would've stashed them.

I plan to work and then stop and buy the new Helloween CD which comes
out that day and then gorge my self on chocolate as I pass out candy
and then pass out as I come down from my sugar high and into a sugar
induced coma!
