Apparently Halloween is more of an American thing, but fuck it, I love it. So what are you guys all doing this year? I'm looking forward to a 'proper' celebration; last year me and a couple of other people went to The Dillinger Escape Plan's Halloween show, with support from Rolo Tomassi (yay girls in metal!) and The Ocean, in a 300-capacity basement in Manchester, in fancy dress. Intense, the most violent gig I've ever been to, and generally very, very awesome; but not a proper party, what with the whole not drinking and not being around most of my friends and stuff.

This year I'm going to Farmageddon - three different interactive horror experiences, where among other things you get chased by men with real chainsaws - and over Halloween weekend itself, going to Tales From The Crypt burlesque with afterparty!

Nothing is yet to beat the year that I went out in Blackpool for Halloween at a very overcrowded metal club and saw four Droogs beating the shit out of a guy dressed as a Tetris piece.

i don't really know how Halloween works here in Italy yet so i'm not sure. one of Dave's college friends is stationed here and is hosting a party though. i don't have a costume though and i generally don't enjoy dressing up much. sad day. :(

I'm the complete opposite to you, Scruff. Halloween will pass me by with barely a glance from me, as it does every year. It was fun when I was a kid, but as an adult I couldn't care less; the only thing people ever seem to do is have fancy dress parties, and I HATE fancy dress with a passion. I'll probably just sit in and have a Halloween Halo session.

The only thing I will be doing is scaring Trick-or-Treaters. Every year I scare when they come to the house. I will do either one of two things: 1) while they come to the front door to receive candy from my girlfriend, I go out the backdoor to run around the side of the house and then to the front to scare the soul of the kids and even some parents. 2) As they walk up the driveway and get right to my car, I press the panic button on my car remote and the loud alarm from the car scares ten years out of the life of everyone. :cheer:

I didn't say I hate other people's fancy dress, I just hate dressing up like a twat myself. Besides, I've got the internet for gawping at sluttily dressed girls. Halloween is shit. Also, look at how it screws up kids; all their lives they're taught to never take gifts from strangers, yet on Halloween they're actively encouraged to. But if I put razor blades in the apples I'm the one at fault.

My problem is we've had maybe two or three years where it hasn't snowed on Halloween. It's pretty miserable. :curse:

Well it's usually around the freezing point here by the time Halloween rolls around...

But that doesn't stop me from hiding in massive piles of leaves to scare (once, quite literally) the crap out of everyone when they pass by! :D

umm. Halloweekend will consist of big party on October 28th where I dress up in something that will start a conversation while being surrounded by slutty girls in really hot outfits (gotta love girls who party at fraternities :D ). Saturday will be a home football game against Arizona so more drinking at the tailgate. Sunday, day of rest. Monday, I don't know, I don't celebrate Halloween.

See, this is the great thing about Southern California. Every Halloween is accompanied by a warm, comfortable night to scare the Charles Dickens out of people and drink Margaritas while handing out candy to children. Also, Halloween is the best holiday ever. Haters gonna hate.

You just keep finding more don't you? I really like some of the new ones. My favorite is either :backout: or :alert: . Both seem pretty useful. ;)

I will steal someone's candy and eat it all!

@gans42 I still have the mental image of you as a friend of mine when he was seventeen, so the drinking part seems very strange.
