When I am not working I usually watch a few Horror flicks with the misses while consuming copious amounts of popcorn, however, this year I am working, so I get to watch everyone else have fun. Bummer 8)
This year, my kid was super keen to dress up as the Mallard, a distinctive-looking and fast steam engine. I went a bit all-aboard and built one from cardboard, and it's quite a bit larger than he is. Poor kid got sick earlier this week, and then later passed the plague to me-- both hampered construction. So there's a half-painted wearable locomotive in my garage, which we'll finish together later.

We just trick-or-treated in the costume I made him last year, and he was totally happy to do so. I wish I'd realized this before I stayed up all night, covered in hotglue strands.
I used to go to a function at my church when I was a little kid, I kinda enjoyed that. The first and only time I actually went around trick or treating was with my little sister when I was in 6th grade. I hate distributing candy, but I tend to try to get the early shift when the really little kids are out as opposed to elementary and middle school aged children who lack the counting ability of the really little kids. I tend to not mind the people older than that as they tend to be slightly more courteous, at least around where I live. When I was a youngster I would usually dress up as a soldier, both of my grandfathers served, although I also recall being a jedi, and a pirate. All my prayers have been answered if the candy bowl is mostly full by nine, and so far it is.

I tend to not like horror movies, so I don't watch any. Although things like Young Frankenstein, the original Frankenstein, the original Dracula, and other black and white films that get played around this time of year might receive some viewing. I sometimes manage to play Animal Crossing, but since it's during the school year I am more likely to play something on my PC like Medieval II.

I like taking walks around this time of year since the weather starts becoming tolerable for someone such as myself.

My old school would hold a bake-off every year for elementary on up, and I missed the first one I was old enough to attend because I threw up half way through the day and got sent home.

Like most other aussies.... i reckon most of us don't partake...its more of an american thing isnt it? ;).

Well last night, I passed candy to some neighborhood kids while wearing my devil mask. Then I went out into town while wearing my mask and saw what looked like a rabies or distemperment-ridden raccoon. I say this because normally healthy raccoons tend to avoid humans but this one was in the middle of the street with people walking around.

My first stop after getting a snack was at a popular bar which became extremely crowded resulting in me having to leave sooner than expected. I did get compliments for the mask and some girls thought it was scary. One thought I looked like a rapist (no joke). I went over to another bar but nothing really happened there. Then I took a walk, some people complimented me on the mask, some people thought I looked extremely creepy (I took those as compliments), and then I went home. Basically my night was pretty boring overall.

budejovice: A perfect place for my question. Thanks for the thread! :) I have never been a huge fan of Halloween (not a big fan of dressing up), but want to get into the spirit this year.

I want to play a game tomorrow night. I have narrowed my choices down to the following. Any thoughts?

-7th Guest
-Alone in the Dark
-Costume Quest
-Knock Knock
-Last Door
-Montague's Mount
Costume quest! It's probably to late but... COSTUME QUEST!!! :)
