Bromagnon Grasshopper Location: Australia Posts: 124 My Collection	Posted: October 21, 2011 7:36:58 am Halloween is just another day that blends into any other. I did once have an awesome evening dressing up when we this American that moved to my school held a party, but we didn't go trick or treating or anything - people would have answered the door and said 'what the f**k do you want?'. What about you? Do you get into the spirit? Or any kids that make it obligatory? 'Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.'

I enjoyed it when I was a kid for several years but it gets old fast. I like to think of myself as a kid but Halloween is rather pointless. I have kids so I try and give them the best Halloween without going overboard. We do not decorate I would but the decorations are so expensive and when they all go on sale after Halloween I am not usually in a position to go out and just buy stuff for next year, plus I have limited storage. My house is not bad but I lack storage space and I prefer not to store things in my garage or shed that I really don't need. So for the kids yes as best I can. I have issues with paying a lot of money for kids costumes they wear for 3 hours if that and then it is really worthless.

No more trick or treating, the younger kids go with their parents. A couple years ago her Mom was living with us (in process of dying) and they took her trick & treating, in a partial costume due to being in a wheelchair. At that time she had about the mentality of a 6 yr old. Her first time and she had a ball. This year nada because we are visiting family in Baltimore area. The joy is in the journey, not just the destination.

As you can see by my profile pic, I did the makeup myself and costume as well. I am doing something very similar this year but in a steampunk style. My friend made his own stormtrooper costume. I ususally go to a friends party or have a haunted house. I no longer do the haunted house anymore because older kids would come and we found that most of them were unpleasant to put it nicely.

Maybe in a few years, I can watch some horror flicks with the kids without too many nightmares.
SilentAssassin Wise Beyond the Years lifetime member Location: Midwest Posts: 2614 My Collection	Posted: October 21, 2011 8:10:58 pm Try not to scare them! Which horror flicks do you watch?
glh08 Wise Beyond the Years moderator Location: Mapleton, ND Posts: 2865 My Collection	Posted: October 21, 2011 10:27:38 pm I don't try to scare them, but when one gets scared of "Batman The Animated Series" it doesn't leave much for Halloween viewing. As far as what I watch after the kids go to bed, I guess it depends on what's playing on the various TV stations. I guess I'm drawn more to monster flicks than slasher films though.
SilentAssassin Wise Beyond the Years lifetime member Location: Midwest Posts: 2614 My Collection	Posted: October 21, 2011 11:01:40 pm Hmm well its funny the things that scared me no longer do and when I see those movies now I am like those are not scary at all. Have you ever seen Insidious? That is a freaky movie or the Orphan that was crazy as well. Monster movies ....which ones are on your list?
