Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

doesnt matter what part, just in general your worst experience ever lol.

mine was last second not getting to ToT because of a reason i dont recall lol. i was like 12. haha

When I was in 3rd grade, I had the tummy flu on Halloween. I had to stay home. That's not too bad... except my siblings came home bearing their prizes and telling me about the house that gave away soda or the house that gave away chocolate bars. I felt so left out. Plus, I didn't get to dress up. =(

... course, I did have Pneumonia on Halloween 2003 (my senior year of college). I had to work and I was going to be upset if some silly non-contagious (and very wearisome) sickness kept me from my Halloween plans! I had so much fun. I handed out pirate name tags with made-up pirate names to each of my co-workers... and I brought in candy that I handed out to customers who weren't retarded. I carved a pirate pumpkin which didn't win anything in the carving contest, but it did get on the cover of the employee newsletter-- how that works, I have no idea... though, it'd be nice if I actually WON a carving contest at some point. Then, we played wet floor sign+ rolling chair bowling... and saran wrapped co-workers to the register chairs... and played "stupid question" Bingo. Of course, we got all our work done first... I have to say, it was a blast. Though, I was so exhausted the next day... but I had Pneumonia on my side for the requisite ditching of class and not-doing homework that followed. =)

Halloween of 2003 I was living in seattle and I had to go to boise where i live now and do some leagal custody stuff with my daughters mom. but it was the day before. So I spend all of halloween driving home to seattle with my daughter niether of us got to go trick or treating I should of had her stay there but I could be in the same town as her at the time. (difficult time then) but we did eat a place by the dallas called spookys pizza that was kinda fun.

I do recall being sick one Halloween in the late 70's. Boy was that a bummer! Couldn't go out side. I think I sat at the window and watched TOTer's go past my house. I also remember watching some lame Ragged Ann's Halloween Cartoon. Evereone knows all the good Halloween cartoons and shows come on before Halloween night because everyone is out trick or Treating and won't watch them on Halloween.

The only bad thing I remember was from the first Halloween I was allowed to go trick or treating for the first time without parents. I don't remember what year it was, but I was with a friend & we had instructions to be back at my house before dark. We were working our way back to my house, when some older guys (junior high or high school, maybe) started chasing us. They scared the hell out of us, we ran screaming bloody murder all the way home.

Gosh I must have been around 9 or 10 (26 now) and on Halloween evening I decided what I wanted to be. I told my mom last minute I wanted to be a mummy so she busted out these old sheets, shredded them up and started tying them around me. At the time I felt sooo stupid because I felt like I really didn't look like a mummy and the whole time I was trick-or-treating the sheets tied around me kept falling off. I complained and cried the whole night but looking back now I should have been hapy because thats how mummy's sometimes look. Sometimes they appear as though they are coming apart but I guess as a kid you want things to be perfect especially on your favorite holiday!

Probably the year everyone else grew out of TOTing, and so it wasn't organised anymore. I can't remember how old I was, maybe 10 or 11.

There has never been one.
Never.
Used to start to plan the costumes right after labor day.
Gramma and Gramp EACH had their fave ghost story.
When ToT'ing ended, I was by then setting up things at home for the younger ones...Halloween dances as a teenager...later at work there was the PLAN NINE nights I told you about..
and one really touching one...it was my first year in radio...I didn't have money for a t.v yet, and I went back to the station to watch the tube for SOMETHING...we had the THIEF OF BAGDAD on that night...with Sabu...a nearly perfect movie right up there with WIZARD OF OZ, right?
Met a couple more from the station and it became a party...
Nice...
Now after my kids are grown I have my grand daughter to warp..er....help raise in a responsible socially concerned fashion..yes, that's it...
