How are you celebrating Halloween?

[BaronLatos35]

I love hearing about other member's Halloween celebrations/traditions. So for the third year...How are you celebrating Halloween?

There will be no parties for us this year, but we will be in costumes, handing out candy to the TOTers,  a monster movie marathon, wine, food and my wife's homemade pumpkin pie.

I will take pics of my daughter's first Halloween costume: The Princess Ananka, Egyptian Mummy...

Movie wise we are starting off with:
-Dracula (1931),
-Trick R Treat (2008)
-Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages (1922). If I can, I'll squeeze in The Haunting (1963).

But reality is, I may be walking my princess around the house, hoping she goes to sleep!

Happy Halloween!

Big Halloween party at work( I provided the Lifesize Monsters and decorations).
Then tear it down to set up for the Trick or Treaters at home.
Hopefully some time to watch a few Universal classic 's plus my two favorite halloween shows
The Great Pumpkin and Disney's Sleepy Hollow.
Love the Halloween season.

I will probably end up looking like my userpic again this year and handing out, with my wife, candy to the trick-or-treaters.

My boys are old enough now that they will go out on their own, with friends, and return later to help hand out candy and scare small children. 

After about 9 o'clock I may project (digitally) House on Haunted Hill in the driveway.  Since we have work the next morning I won't be staying up too late.

Well, my wife just informed me that on Friday, she's making the 4 hour round trip to pick up our 7 & 3/4 year old granddaughter, and bring her back here to celebrate with us!  Yay!!  That means extra candy for me - that's my job!  Autumn likes little girl stuff more than monsters (is she really related to me?) but after she sacks out, it's a monster marathon!  Saturday, we're taking her to some "safe" Halloween events scattered around town and then on Sunday, the wife is taking her trick or treating.  There are no set hours here in Lafayette & West Lafayette, which is awesome!  I'll be handing out treats to all those who dare knock on our door.  My Mom, who turned 81 on Oct. 28th and my sister MIGHT come & visit on Saturday also.  My sister, Debbie, is 4 years older than me and we are really close.  She and my oldest sister, Anna, use to scare the crap outta me when I was a wee lad.  I eventually got them back, though, he-he-he!

I can't wait!  Grandkid, Monsters, Mom & Sister, Wife & Dog (our dog's a girl, too) and a candy eatin', rum drinkiin', movie watchin', HAUNTED HALLOWEEN!

We're keeping it low key because we just haven't had time to prepare. Dressing up the boys and taking them out TOTing. Then home to hand out candy and watch some Bride Of Frankenstein, Charlie Brown, and off to bed.

We will be on Trick or treat duty both days because I keep hearing that they'll be out there on Sat & Sun.  We have to drag out all the fragile props, set up the electric chair (some people take their kids pics in it) and when it gets dark enough we are also going to project NMBC on the big window out front. On Sat. afternoon I'm going with my grandson and daughter in law to TOT in the downtown merchant area ( my grandson has planned his weekend like a military invasion) and then go back home while the nutty grandson goes to his other grandma's house to TOT in her town square. Then on Sunday, my grandson will be back at my house TOTing in my neighborhood. And in between TOTers  I'm hoping my husband and I will be watching some Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episodes and the dvr-ed  "The Walking Dead". I'm so excited about that new mini series!!!  And last but not least, we will probably eat some hot dogs ( we only get them a couple times per year ) and other forbidden food!  Like candy and pop!

I love Halloween!

[charp13]

UP-  Is it because of the hot dogs, candy and pop?  Because that's the REAL reason I love Halloween!

Well, Charlotte, let's put it this way - I've been eating very healthy the past few days, gearing up for a Sasquatch-like attack on all sorts of confectionary goodness!  Plus, I really just dig the whole Celtic Halloween spirit(s) in the damp night air!  It's also a good night for smoking my annual Swisher Sweet outside - oh yeah, we might flame up our firepit, too!

Baron Latos, this is an awesome thread idea!

Hey, I'm a Swisher Sweet man myself. I can't shoot pool properly unless the smoke from a SS is stinging my eyes and perfecting my focus.

[Unknown Primate]

My old man used to smoke them!  I haven't smoked one in almost two years!

DONE..............9PM EST I will be puffing contentedly on a Swisher Sweet in honor of our friendship (over Nancy's protestations, of course). I checked and we are in the same time zone, so how's 9PM for you?

Tonight or Halloween?
