A hearty thank you to all who are home on Halloween for passing out candy. We really appreciate it!

Leigh I wonder if you could be a zombie bride.... Marilyn Monroe was my back up choice.

Oh yessss a zombie bride - perfect choice would be The Corpse Bride ... or Annie (with Jack Skellington as your date) from Nightmare Before Christmas !!!

Good idea spritz !!!!

SO many good ideas ~ or even like a vampire bride

I work for a major grocery chain...we have lots of signage that we use in the stores. Some of them get sent out through me and the safety team....

I happened upon two signs that I would LOVE to turn into a costume....
the red one says:
DO NOT BLOCK
EXIT ONLY........I would put that on the "rear" of my costume <giggles>

The white one says:
NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY
PERMIT REQUIRED.......and that one would go on the "front"....<snickers>

Now, to figure out what to use as the base of it....

I crack myself up....

I Love Halloween!! I want to go on the ride through Salem!

I have a ceramic pumpkin I have had for about 25 years I may dig out of my junk anc put out. It's about a foot in diameter and lights up. I got it at a department store that used to me in New England called Ames that went out of business.
We WILL go do a haunted house or two. A party this year is iffy, chefhmboyrd and I don't have the room to host one so it depends if any of our friends do. Halloween falls mid-week this year so it's going to leave just one weekend open for parties.

I just can't get into Halloween as much as I used to when I lived in New Hampshire. I grew up in Massachusetts, and trick-or-treat time was chilly weather and colorful (with foliage), shorter days, and hay rides in apple orchards. Maple syrup, the glimpse of a big old oak tree just blazing with color, trying not to drive off the road because it is all so beautiful and I am looking more at the trees than the road.

I get a certain mindset I can only experience when I am waking through the woods in New England. Tennessee woods are not the same, and it doesn't feel the same. When the trees start dropping their leaves and I catch a glimpse of the moon through bare tree branches, I might can go there for a moment. Then I get homesick.
It has been a long hot summer here, I won't be happy until I wake up and there is a frost covering everything.

I also am from Massachusetts (AND I remember Ames!) and I spent time down south. I agree that fall (and winter) are just not the same there. New England really has the full spectrum of the seasons....and I love it here for that reason. And what you said about the trees is especially true right now. I was driving to work today craning my neck to see this tree or that....

I just Love Halloween!!! It is one of my very favorite Holidays.

I have a few costumes that are in my closet. One is a Princess, one is a Witch and one is a Clown. Yes they are all very different and it always depends on my mood that year. I do love going out and seeing what is new and different in the costume world. I love that we get to let our crazy self out even only for that day. I wear mine to work when Halloween falls on a working day. I have worn them taking the kids out trick or treating. I love decorating and of course have a couple of boxes in the attic with some really cool stuff. My favorite is my giant spider.

Yep I am a little nutty but sure do love having fun and Halloween is a great way to do just that!

This is not a derail attempt, I just couldn't find the kitten wars thread.

Well I am wavering right now, on a few choices. In the past I have done the Pirate thing, A rock singer (complete with electric guitar), A lawn jockey (complete with lantern).

So this year I was thinking maybe a Knight, (more with chain mal than the clanging and banging type) - or Batman. I also like period pieces. So something like a King, Knight, Prince something in that realm would be cool too.

Any ideas spritz?

Lots of great choices so far. I can see you as all of those I suppose (hint post a pic in the gallery). Hmm... historical.... musketeer. Even with out the other 2 side kicks it would be dashing.

Leigh · 09-28-2012, 06:14 PM

I have a small sense that River would be good as a Knight, that's just my .02 cents worth

Well, I would def do it with the chain mal and leather, sword, etc. I am not feeling the full armor thing and all that clanging and banging. I will have to look at some pics and see what I can come up with. I know there is a movie I love (and the name escapes Me right now) based on the fight for Jerusalem and the outfits in that film would be like what I would wear.
