I’ll wear whatever is comfortable for the temperature that evening. Then I’ll sit at the start of my walkway and hand out treat bags to the kids.
This year they will include a variety of candy plus a mini Rubik Cube (1.5”). One year I included mini stroopwafels I got on meh. Last year I included edible straws.
@kittykat9180 I did the light up fidget spinners the year of the fidget spinner over supply. All but two kids loved them. Early on one ran from my door into the street screaming, "This house has fidget spinners!!!). I was a block and a half from a house that had been on one of those haunted house TV shows (nope not haunted, lots of tricks to make it seem so - the one photo really blew it - a glass vase off to the side showed the person rigging the ghost shadow on the wall ) so lots of kids there for halloween. I was mobbed.
@Kidsandliz that’s awesome. I love handing out treat bags to the kids and seeing their costumes. Last year I had a few teens come late and I unloaded everything I had left on them lol They were happy.
@AlienCookie
I went trick or treating with my friend when we 17 (we just wanted candy) and there was a guy dressed up as Michael Myers that slowly walked, hid in bushes and followed me around the entire neighborhood. Everytime I turned around he was there, it scared the fucking shit out of me and no matter how fast we ran, he was always at the next house waiting in the distance for us. Michael Myers has always freaked me out, so it was like my nightmare coming true. I found out years later I was her neighbor when I was talking to him.
You should definitely go out and scare the older trick or treaters. Give them something to remember about Halloween.
My nephew told me I have to be a which again (was one last year) so very easy for me. I take him trick or treating while my sister chills out. My moms neighborhood is the best, one house hands out boozy cider and grills hot dogs and then a few others next to each other hand out Jell-O shots.
I think we’re doing beetlejuice as a family. My youngest and I are fighting over who gets to be the sandworm. I’ll probably end up being Barbara and the Englishman will be Adam when they disfigure themselves so they’re “scary”.
@sillyheathen Technically all three of you could be (assuming there is a significant size difference between all of you – it would be like a weird kangaroo costume)
@pakopako nesting sandworms. There are five of us. I’m trying to convince the tallest to be shrunken head bob. Our middle will probably go as Lydia. Just depends on if they’ll agree. It’s like they have their own opinions now! So rude!
Last year’s costume again. Wore it at the office for pictures then handing out candy. Black shirt, pants, boots, a blackout face mask, skeleton gloves, and an oversize black hooded cloak with some dollar store grey creepy cloth draped over. Garden scythe (so smaller blade than a real one, but metal and sharp) with a 7 foot haft. In my off hand is a bowl full of chocolate bars.
If can find a cheap full sized costume scythe I’ll use it instead; the small one just doesn’t look right
Yes. I am going as The Trunk Master!!
@PooltoyWolf But why is there… is that a… what in the world?
@PooltoyWolf @stinks It is so you can inflate the pool toy.
@stinks @yakkoTDI Bingo!
@PooltoyWolf @stinks @yakkoTDI
How do you explain the hoverboard then
@pakopako @PooltoyWolf @stinks @yakkoTDI
Because yes
Yep, Me. Same as every other day, and scaring children and women always.
I don’t do anything
All done. It took literally zero time and effort. And I mean literally.
My kids both want to be Pikachu, so I’ll be Ash or Misty or someone. Not sure, still crafting pieces together to see what works out.
@LaserEyes Go as Meowth!!

HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
this one time sensitive; hope these go to front of shipping line
Pretty much go as an old fart, since I am one. I really just spend the time on candy-duty. I let others have the dress up fun, tbh.
Honestly, I’m just gonna get a black morph suit and go scaring little kids

I’m going as an old white guy. Scary huh.
/buy
@D_a_v_e Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re trying to buy. Make sure you’re posting in today’s deal topic.
I’m all set. Although I do not celebrate any holidays, so I’m always ready by ignoring all holidays.
Pajamas. Dressing as a bedcover. Turn off the lights and hide under it.

Character name is death by chocolate
I (Sadly) am not dressing up, but I do plan to still scare little kids. (My face is scarier than any mask ever could be)
