Halloween

raven · Oct 12, 2008 4:25 AM

Are you doing anything for Halloween, on the 31st October (if it is observed in your area)? Whether it is making Jack-O'-Lanterns, trick or treating, wearing a costume, attending halloween events, decorating your house, or whatever else you might be doing to mark the day?

I might get some sweets to give to children and make a pumpkin Jack-O'-Lantern, but it's not celebrated much in many parts of Australia (as it is sometimes seen as 'too American').

I'm probably just going to hang around my house...maybe scare some kids in an unseen area with a loud stereo and a mic and scream like a screamo singer...muwahahaha...

Mehh my uncle did it a few years ago...it was hilarious...
Besides, I've been watching those "How to scream" videos to scream properly. Scream some Alesana song and scare the crap out of little kids...

Screamo scared the crap out of me. I don't know, it just dosn't seem like music to me. hmm

On topic... I think I'll just do the usual, go to our Halloween costume party and junk. Maybe watch some friends loose treats at poker... or something. yikes

Spyrorocks · Oct 12, 2008 7:18 AM

Ill sit outside with the shotgun and blast any kids that set foot on my property.

Nah, I just like the fireworks. I live out in the middle of nowhere.

Ember · Oct 12, 2008 10:32 AM

Ha ha, a shotgun? LOL SR! I'll probably steal sweets from my mom. I get stuff from my grandparents too though.

ontels · Oct 12, 2008 11:09 AM

I wont be able to celebrate because Im going to a training weekend at cadets..... hmm

John Man 1234 · Oct 12, 2008 11:15 AM

Darn that sucks well there's still Christmas and other holidays to look forward to. I don't go trick or treating anymore but I will probaly give out candies with my girlfriend and carve a Jack-O'-Lantern.

ontels · Oct 12, 2008 11:19 AM

theres one holiday Im shure not gonna miss......BONFIRE NIGHT! man I LOVE fireworks

Stormy · Oct 12, 2008 2:50 PM

[sub]Too old for trick-or-treating, though some people in my classes still do it. =/ Our school is going to have a Halloween dance, but I can't be bothered to find a costume.

I'll most likely stay home and distribute the candy.[/sub]

Kazoobie64 · Oct 12, 2008 3:56 PM

Going on a road trip to Halloween Horror Nights with some friends and the hubster at Universal Studios. Supposedly it's incredibly packed on the actual day of Halloween, but oh well, I really don't get the full effect if it's not on Halloween day.

Kamineko · Oct 12, 2008 5:59 PM

Might go to Howl-O-Scream with my friends, but that's not actually ON Halloween I'll be doing that.

I will be dressing in costume. I plan on going as Lobo, the coolest comic book character ever.

Don't use a shotgun! Sniper Rifle Dude! "Don't run. You'll just die tired."
God Bless our Snipers!!!

Phoenix_Flyer · Oct 12, 2008 7:53 PM

Nothing, we don't really celebrate it. Same reason as raven really.

And ontels: YEAH FOR BONFIRE NIGHT!! XD It rocks.....

raven · Oct 13, 2008 3:33 AM

Lol @ Aicebo and Spyrorocks.

What happens at Bonfire nights?

Spyro_Loves_Me · Oct 13, 2008 4:49 AM

I don't know what happens at their bonfire nights ... But I know what happens at some high school bonfires. :x

There's gonna be a little party the night before h'ween. I'll probably just go to that. No plans for h'ween night though. Might just chill with some friends or something.

Phoenix_Flyer · Oct 13, 2008 11:24 AM

On Bonfire night we're carrying out a tradition from.... 1605 or something?
It was when 13 men tried to blow up the houses of Parliament with gunpowder because they weren't happy with how the new ruler treated Catholics. They were basically trying to kill James I, the Prince of Wales and various members of Parliament. But, some had second thoughts and one wrote a letter to a friend (Lord something) telling him to stay away from the Houses of Parliament on the 5th of November. This reached the King and they stopped the plot. Catching Guy Fawkes in the celler with a pile of barrels containing gunpowder, just in time. Guy Fawkes was then tortured and killed. Next day, people heard of the fact that the King had been saved and lit bonfires in celebration.
Today its more extravegant. Bonfires are lit and loads of fireworks are set off all night. Some also still carry out the tradition of making a dummy of Guy Fawkes and sitting on the streets asking 'penny for the Guy'. They then use the money to buy fireworks or sparklers. Then on Bonfire Night, when the bonfire is set alight, the Guy is burned. Even the monarchs have upheld a tradition commemorating it. The reigning monarch only sets foot in the Houses of Parliament once a year and only after the cellers have been checked! XD

One Bonfire Night a few years ago, at dinner, we had a Guy Fawkes made of spaghetti and sausages. :-P I love fireworks! big_smile

Kazoobie64 · Oct 13, 2008 2:39 PM

Speaking of Guy Fawkes, my husband was born on November 5th. True fact. We're always tempted to celebrate his birthday with fire. We've only done it once, though.

DragonPrincess · Oct 21, 2008 8:03 PM

I'm going out on Halloween.>83 'Cus I can. I be dressin' up as an Angel.:)

Kamineko · Oct 21, 2008 8:22 PM

Can't do Lobo due to a lack of a leather jacket.

Will instead be going as the King of All Cosmos.

Kazoobie64 · Oct 21, 2008 8:44 PM

Excuse me, please post pictures of this costume when you're wearing it.

Kamineko · Oct 21, 2008 9:09 PM

Oh I will.

It will be glorious.

Lancer232 · Oct 21, 2008 11:10 PM

I'll probably throw something together and go get some candy (hey, it's candy, what's wrong with that?). I'll probably be a clone trooper (if the helmet fits my HUGE head...) and carry one of those NERF Longshot rifles as the gun, I just hope that helmet doesn't fog easily.
