I’m probably going to be responsible for passing out candy this year, and I was thinking of wearing a costume that the kids would be able to guess.

I’d like to be something/someone from pop culture, not something generic like a witch or a clown.

Any suggestions of pop culture icons that are easily recognizable to kids (ages 4 to 12) that I could be for Halloween?

Halloween?




How did people originally celebrate halloween a long time ago? How did they decorate their houses? What did they do? What did they believe in?
I don’t want to hear "they sacrificed things to the devil" cuz i know its not true, and I dont want to hear "they got dressed up and went door to door for candy" cuz thats not the origin of it.

Halloween?




Hi! My family just moved into a new community and halloween is coming up (sort of). We want to make a good impression on the neighbors and have the best trick or treating house. I would like some ideas for a great halloween house. What candy? What decorations? Should my dad hide in the bushes and scare people with a chainsaw? ;)

I know it’s too early to plan for (lol) but I just realized that our new baby will only be 3 months old this Halloween and I really want to get a sitter so I can take my big girl trick-or-treating! Obviously I won’t let her eat all that candy, but she can have SOME and I think she’d have a good time gathering it up.

Halloween?




I don’t get the point of Halloween. I mean I know the kids want the candy but can’t they just buy 2 boxes of candy. And what’s up with the costume. I just think Halloween is kind of dumb don’t you?

halloween?




I bought my 4 month old daughter a halloween costume from Target. She will be about 5.5 months old on halloween. is it silly to take her trick or treating? I have a friend who is taking her 2 year old and wants some company.
i guess my real question is will those handin out the candy think i am just there to get candy for me?

Halloween decorations :)?




Were there any decorations at people’s houses you went to for trick or treating or a party that really surprised you, freaked you out, just were completely amazingly cool, made you scream, jump etc.? if so this is the place to tell me! Describe the decorations. I got freaked out because one house every year has tons of decorations and is creepy, so my best friend and I are going up the walk in our vampire costumes (we made them and we looked amazing our mum’s did our makeup, we did it so we looked like our eyes were red it was really cool) completely scared even though my little 9 yr old brother already went to the house, he is not scared of halloween things, so we are walking up the path and suddenly all the lights turn of around, but quickly com e back on, we think the scarieness is over, and for that moment it was, we walked in and got our candy then on our way out my friends dad was looking at the decorations, specifically a section of the yard decorated as a freaky mad scientists lab , so we were still kind of scared so we were both like "move im scared!" to him, but we was just like "no! this is cool" so finally when he stopped looking at them (ok none of the decorations had really moved yet, we stayed clear of what we thought were motion sensitive things) he moved quickly down the path and we were going slow because i am a huge clutz and i didnt want to trip and land on one of the machetti holding decorations lol, so we are walking (like i said a million times :P) and from behind us something hits us, we realize its a part of the mad scientists experiment of a crazy person, and the decorations head is moving and screaming, it sounded like a real person so my friend and i were so freaked out we fell down screamed, and covered ourselves with the capes we were wearing, after a few seconds we get back up and a vampire decoration moves out from a coffin, we screamed again and ran omg that was so freaky but its hard to describe, but also there were other scary houses, one person did a haunted garage, another made spiderweb with string and put those giant inflatable turantulas on them, those ppl also had mummy things in the windows, vampire things coming out of coffins, and really freaky music, and when we went to the door the music made a crash and my friend screamed it was hilarious becuase the lady handed out the candy was just laughing. Ok whats YOUR story???? Happy Halloweeen

I have a friend I am very close to and she is a born-again christian and attends a bible fellowship church. I tried to go with her, but don’t agree with some things. I have a one year old baby boy and I told her I had to get a Halloween costume for him and she got very upset & is coming over tomorrow to show me a movie and give me literature about Halloween. She says it is satans holiday and I am committing evil before lord. She also says no Santa Claus, just tell baby it is birthday of Jesus and no Easter Bunny, tell baby Easter is only to celebrate that Jesus has died & risen. I say these holidays are for the kiddies & I will not change my mind on this. I love Halloween, love to give out candy & see the costumes. I’ll take baby to see Santa & Easter Bunny & hide eggs. Why would the folks at her church take away this joy from their kids????What is up with this???

What are some Ideas for Halloween?




So I need some Simple ideas to dress up for Halloween, I’m not going out but staying in to handout candy, may invite some friends over, so just something simple, not too scary cause there are some toddler age kids on my block I’m sure will be out and about that night with their sibs. Also don’t want to buy a costume, cause I never have been one for buying them, I prefer to make them, I can do just about anything makeup wise too.
