I got my first scream.

The little goofball is out trick-or-treating with his grandmother and my wife is out working on ruining other kids' mischief. Leaving me alone to answer the door. I already got a screaming toddler. :D

I'm a sithlord. I took a cheap $2 Jason hockey mask and I decorated it with some paints and make-ups that all clowns have. I then dressed all in black, donned a 'faceless' mask and wore the 'Sith' mask over it. The result is impressive. Add to that my Darth Vader Force FX lightsaber, and the costume is complete.

:D Other than the lightsaber(which I already owned), and the black sweatshirt, the costume cost me about $4. :D

My neighborhood is starting to lean toward the "rough" side with a lot of folks skulking around at odd hours and jacking parked cars.

I'm going to be passing out candy wearing my old Cop gear... with badge and Gun prominantly visible.

(interestingly enough, my car was broken into recently... they jacked the door then opened the glovebox, saw the box of .357 ammo and split. Not even the change in the (open) ashtray was disturbed. I wonder why? :D )

Pity my wife is such an internet nazi or I'd post some pics. Maybe I can convince her to let me take a shot of just the mask. *shrug*

Add to that my Darth Vader Force FX lightsaber...
Other than the lightsaber(which I already owned),

is that the really expensive lightsaber? like the $100+ one?

Yes. That's the collectible made by MasterReplicas that retails fro $119.

I have two of them, A Darth Vader and a Mace Windu.

I'm now looking into building my own.

My godson (age 18 months) got his first scream a few minutes ago, but it was from his mommy and it was a scream of delight...he's going as a tiny punk-rocker for his very first Halloween, and she couldn't be prouder.

I usually loath children, but seeing his tiny mohawk warmed my crusty old heart. He waddled up to me on his fat baby legs and displayed his temporary tattoo of a snake: "Wook. Bis is a snake. Goes thhhhhhhhh." (In his world, snakes lisp instead of hiss.) "My snake. I go tthhhhhhhhh. Punk-wok!" And off he waddled.

Punk-wok. My godson is the shit.

my dad does a good one occasionally. all he needs is a knife with a little watered-down tomato ketchup smeared on it and lumber up to the door shouting at the kids to get lost. very effective, if cruel :D

cool. I always like to terrify kids.

I just did something very un-Christian. I made the trick or treaters close thier eyes and I dropped ice cubes into their treat bags. not nice, but will be having fun thinking about their reaction when they start to drip water LOL

I've given a few todlers a scream from my mohawk which right now is totalling 4.5 inches, and I'm trimming it down in a few weeks.

Can you send me before and after pictures for when they egg your house?

sure, and the picks of my husband holding them at gunpoint waiting for the cops to arrive?:p

They won't know that I did it, unless they are keeping some type of elaborate candy inventory, besides ice cubes are much better than when I used to scoop out cheap ice cream into their bags. It is trick or treat, I like to focus on the trick.

I made some kid sob 2 years ago because I did some zombie makeup and would peel a flap of skin over my hand back to show bones and flesh...

Seriously. Take one stage makeup class and you can scar the litte rats forever.

And bottle, I want your godson for my own. My cousin was a dinosour. it was "cute" (I was fighting to make him a visigoth or hun.

Now I'm depressed. We're getting our first rain in over a month. So far we've only had 6 kids and all but one of them were taller than I am. Shame. My husband, who's 6'4", dressed up all in black and had his cordless drill to whirr at the kids. With speakers in all the windows pumping out halloween music all over the neighborhood. I'm getting pretty good at doing the time warp. Looks like I'll be taking about 10 pounds of candy to share at work tomorrow.

Now that is a real bummer. :(

I just got done chasing some parents around my front yard with my lightsaber. I forget that some people are deprived of such simple pleasures.

Wish you were my neighbor. The neighbors on both sides of us have all of their lights off. Usually we get dozens of kids and we take pictures of the best costumes. Oh well, there's always next year. :D

I love Halloween...But I'm condemned to work tonight. I'm missing out on all the fun of my favorite holiday. I spent two hours carving my Pumpkin and had to give it to someone else to display :( because I don't get off work until after midnight.

It turns out you were right, about the egging anyway, they ended up trying to egg the house next door. (I feel so bad now) I watched and didn't do anything, I am a bad bad person. :( My dog started barking and scared them away before they got through the whole dozen though, at least my dog has some redeeming qualities. I should go help my neighbor clean up right. And do I morally have to confess? I mean really do I have to?????

That's, thats just mean. Mind you, not as mean as the year when I bought a bunch of mini-bottles of really potent ginger beer and handed them out. If you aren't suspecting it, that shit's painful.

Do what I'd do; ...no, on second thought, you have to live next to them. They might not appreciate it if you tped their house.

Do what an inconsiderate non-clown would do; take pictures. :D

are you sure you aren't in cahoots with those kids? It is kinda suspicious for you to say they would come back and egg and then later they came back and egged.:eek: :p

My mum and I went all out (as if we don't every year) bubbling cauldron w/ snakes and rats in it (dry ice in a small bowl inside the cauldron and blinking orange and black lights), carved pumpkins and set them out, had creepy music playing, dressed up to hand candy out at the door, hung ghosts from the trees, and handed out our regular size Starburst, Skittles, Sour Punch Straws, Blow pops, and Sweet-tarts. Halloween is soooo my favourite holiday :)

My mum lives in a subdivison in a smaller town, but they get more and more kids every year. This year we had a little over 500 trick-or-treaters. The family next door even had their son (who owns a farm outside of town) dress up as the headless horseman and ride around the neighborhood, quite cool :).

We had several kids who refused to come up to the door because it was both creepy outside and inside (my mum decorated the foyer with pumpkins, skulls, ghosts and other creepy ghouls :) ). A lot of the younger kids cried, so I had to walk out and give them their candy, heh.
