Happy Halloween! (Page 1 of 5)

Well usually myself and some friends go out and collect cans instead of candy for the local food bank.  I went as Rorschach and got some interesting reactions from little kids.

But anyway, this year I'm going to a Skillet concert on Halloween.  So the only sort of that stuff will be the song "Monster". 

You're like my sister Miba, Halloween was/is her favorite time of year too. Only now I don't think she goes much in for costumes like she did as a child. Around where I live people come from all over North Carolina to Franklin street in Chapel Hill to promenade around in costumes on Halloween night. They're trying to scale it down though because it was getting to big for the town of Chapel Hill. Ninth Street near duke University in Durham is hoping to pick up some the slack though.

I'm pretty excited. My Indy gear is coming along well, and now that I have a great whip its going to look good. I still need to get the holster and whip holder, which I should be doing within the week.

However, since Ive been Indy every Halloween since I was 13 (and several times before that. Although one year I was the Grail Knight from Last Crusade, does that count?) Im thinking of doing a Temple of Doom variant. Meaning my shirt sleeve would be ripped off, the back of the shirt would be ripped apart from the whipping he got, there would be alot of sweat and blood, and torn up pants as well. I would also be walking around with a machete. Thoughts?

(Note: Im prepared to start working out again to look that good.)

Ooh I know what you could do! You could be a MELTING FACE NAZI. Well, I think that'd be awesome anyways.

Quick poll everyone; has anyone ever gotten those orange and black caramel with peanut butter candy on Halloween, and if so, do you like them? Call me crazy, but I, in fact, like those things.

T_T Its not candy corn. I'm not crazy enough to ask if people like candy corn. What I'm talking about comes in orange and black wrappers, and its a caramel, but theres peanut butter in the center. And I've only met one person besides myself who likes them.

oh i know what you mean, but i don't know what it's called.

but i like candy corn. it's a good energy boost.

Halloween is my family's favorite time of the year. We love haunted houses, corn mazes and all the fall activities. The neighborhood kids always come to my house first for trick or treating, I give them glow necklaces and lots of candy of course.  My husbands birthday is on Halloween. We always decorate and have a party, there is usually a keg and a band.

Well, my costumes are nearly done being made, and they're looking very good! The only problem is that it might be too cold to wear them. I was going to find the weather thread but I can't seem to find it. Anyway, it was actually snowing a little yesterday and they're predicting snow for tonight and tomorrow morning. It's early October! I don't want winter already!

Also, on the halloween cereal, what does everyone like best? Between Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Booberry? My favorite is Count Chocula followed by Booberry. I don't like Frankenberry. The new Halloween Capn Crunch is cool cause it turns your milk green, but otherwise it's nothing special.

Shocking news time: I've never ever had a bowl of Boo Berry, Franken Berry, or Count Chocula in my ENTIRE life. And I had my first bowl of Captain Crunch less then 6 months ago.

Had snow here too, Miba, today lol. It's WAYYY too early. I hope it warms up a bit at least for the next weeks. Not fun to look like a snowman under the Halloween costume.

Count Chocula's are nice indeed. We have some similar ones here, "Nesquick"... not exactly the same, but I think they're still pretty good. When I was a kid I used to really like Cheerios and Alpha-bits, lol.

Not to eat, though, rather to be creative with them. I'd make necklaces with Cheerios cereals, and I don't know if you got them there, but Alpha-Bits cereals are shaped like alphabet letters. So I used to write all kinds of things all over my mom's table with them. When I couldn't find the letter I wanted, I'd break parts of other letters with my teeth and "cheat"-make them.

Ive tried it, everyone recommends that. Honey Nut Clusters is like, 10x that cereal. No joke.
