You know my motto: "You're never too old to take candy from strangers."

I'm going trick-or-treating with my friends this year, probably dressed as a cat, as always. I just love candy. Twizzlers are great.

For entertainment, how about watching The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Oh, yeah. It's a ton of fun, and it's not very long, so that leaves plenty of time for more Halloween fun. We did kinda just watch it recently, but maybe we'll be in the mood for a second viewing by the time the big night rolls around. Kidnap the Sandy Claws, tie him in a bag...

Now to plan out my demon costume. Now I wish I'd bought those horns at RenFest.

I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing yet. Halloween is on a Friday this year (yay!) which means perhaps I'll have a party and watch a bunch of scary flicks with friends (seriously, I have tons). I usually go trick-or-treating for Unicef as part of a school club, but my friend isn't president year so we may take this year off. I used to love trick-or-treating, but in more recent years it's lost a bit of its spark (and I've become more weary of the dangers of too much candy) so I think I'm more willing to just chill out and freak out watching some of the scariest movies on earth

Ah, the wording of this post reminds me, I hope they'll have a Scarist Places on Earth marathon again this year! It's my favorite paranormal show, and ABC will usually air it one day in October, in honor of "The Thirteen Days of Halloween".

My friend is considering throwing a Halloween party, but of course, if it's on Halloween night, I won't be able to attend. Also, two of my friends are working at Scarowinds this year, so I'll probably get some free tickets! Score! In years past, the management will give two tickets to their employees on their days off, so they can be there one night as a customer instead of a monster.

I want to bake a Halloween cake this year, because it would be adorable and delicious. But I may end up just making Halloween cookies for my homeroom or something. I reeeeeally want to make a cake, though.

Thank the gods I'm not the only ones who sees the Saw movies for the utter crapfests they are.

Anyway, nice lineup! I can't believe I hadn't thought of some of those.

Err... I'm not sure, actually.  I have a standing invitation to a friend's Halloween party, but he's holding it the weekend before Halloween (he's Pagan, so I'll bet he's got a Samhain ritual lined up for the day itself).  However, I'm usually the only single-as-in-neither-attached-nor-dating person there, so it's kinda weird, though that's probably mostly me.  I might get roped into handing out candy if I don't think of something better to do.  Also, I have no real idea for a costume this year.  I do like Halloween, but these past few years I haven't really gotten into it.

It's traditional for people here to head down to Waikiki on Halloween and just walk around and check out people's costumes and go a little crazy. Always good times. However, I have nothing to dress up as this time unless I dust off my Anakin Skywalker costume I wore a few years back.

I really need to stay out of this thread. (I'll probably be back again. ) I started typing this in the happiness thread, but I figured that it would probably work better here, considering what I'm happy about.

Scarowinds was amazing. This is definately the best year yet. In the past, the only maze that really freaked me out was Slaughterhouse, because it was always so well constucted and I'm pretty creeped out by processing plants. But this year, they've added a new maze called The Asylum. Take a stab in the dark at something that happens to be a really big fear of mine. It was fantastic though, and I really enjoyed it. I like the thrill of being scared, I suppose. My friends Tara and Ian were working in a house called Final Summons. It's the only haunted house that actually is a house. I think she did a nice job of staying in character when we were there, so I'm proud of her.

Anyway, they've redone a lot of the past mazes and made them better. For example, Big Top was the name of our resident carnival maze. Despite the fact that I think it wasn't very good, they've always kept it around because so many people are deathly afraid of clowns. This year, they've completely reconstucted the entire thing under the new title Last Laugh. I've never been afraid of clowns, but this one was just so much better than Big Top, I'll admit that I jumped a few times. (Now, in Slaughterhouse and The Asylum, I scream like a little bitch.) They also redid The Dead Inn, but in my opinion, it wasn't for the better. It didn't seem quite as good. I'm also never frightened by the alien maze, simply because I'm not afraid of aliens. The Dream Factory is another maze that I think could use some work, but it is improving.

However, this year's Scarezones= 500 TIMES BETTER. Instead of the usual vampires theme, they now have one called Feeding Frenzy where you rave with zombies. There's also a cemetary filled with your generic creepy crawlies, but it wasn't half bad. When I'm afraid, I have a habit of using pickup lines on the monsters. So when someone particularly creepy came up to me, I'd just babble out "Can I get your number?" Some guy actually gave it to me! That's breaking character, sir.

The one thing I miss from previous years are the sliders. They were the scariest people in the whole park. (There are some people in costume who don't have a designated maze or scarezone. They just wander the park freely and try to scare you. The sliders were people with skates and kneepads on, hidden by their costume. So, they'd do the usual thing, you'd pretend they scared you, they'd wander off... and 5 seconds later, they bolt out in front of you, sliding on the pavement. It might not sound like much, but it will give you a heart attack. I swear.)

idk, i'm probably redesigning Godot.

cosplay runs too deep in my veins, but my wallet notsomuch.

if i still had my long hair i was going to show the world just what was underneath Bret Michaels' bandanna, his exposed brain.  XD  but now, i guess i'm cosplaying for the occasion.  i have to do a presentation on cosplay for japanese class just days prior to halloween anyway.

I want to watch May again this Halloween, because I lurve scary movies (though only if the people I watch it with aren't dickheads who crack jokes and ruin the mood the whole way through --I myself have a poor suspension of disbelief and yet I hold my tongue).  Seriously guys, if you haven't seen this movie, you need to.  All I suggest is that you do not mind gore and have a taste for awkwardness.


AND SECONDS ALL THE MOVIES MOCHA MENTIONED OMG HOCUSPOCUS!!!


And as far as trick-or-treating goes, I dunno if I will, since I'm not too hi-ho on the prospect of spending money on a costume.  MAYBE I CAN GO AS A SLUT?


Kid-friendly.

Eee, eee! I found the perfect pointy ears for my demon costume. I haven't used spirit gum in years, so I got some in my hair, but I've got so much hair and it's so thick that no amount of practice will help that. They look quite cool on me.

Hey guys! It's getting close to that time of the year again!
Normally this is when I'm ordering crap off the internet and going to thriftstores for a costume...but this year I have no idea what to be(I'll appreciate suggestions of any sort).

Nuff about me, what's everyone going to be this year? Anyone throwing parties? Any pranks? teeell mee.
