Grant & Worm's favorite Holiday is Halloween, I celebrate Samhain into Día De Los Muertos. I love love Day of the Dead rituals, customs, and art! I also love partaking in watching how fun it is for lil crumb munchers. I tend to be an agist With the candy, I give the 9 and under crowd in costume more candy than I do the other ages, it's not so cute then.

Umm... I find older trick or treaters to be a turn off. I don't give them much candy either. And trick or treating parents chap me.

Going to need to unearth the fog machine...

My parents and I always make separate bags for halloween ~ ones for the younger kids (they get the better things) and things for some of the older kids

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.

I have already started decorating and we went to get pumpkins last week...We are also planning on going to Salem for Halloween day

I'd like to remind a certain un-named someone that Halloween started out as a celebration of the dead. It proceeds All Saint's Day which is Nov 1st. Halloween was originally all hallow's eve. A hallowed day. It was a day to remember the dead and give them blessings. And I'm sure remember them in your prayers to the saints the following day. It does have pagan roots but the pagans are peaceful earth loving people as anyone who has any knowledge of Wicca knows... In closing I'd like to present exhibit B...which is the fact that our local CATHOLIC church gives out candy for Halloween....nough said....

I went to Salem not last year but the previous two years and loved loved LOVED it. It's like the Mardi Gras of Halloween. You guys have fun and take lots of pictures!!

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

cinnamongrrl · 09-28-2012, 06:15 PM

I was there 2 years ago Scuba! Did you see the painted lady that looked like a bronze statue?? That was me! J/K :P

Lady Snow - thank you for responding. I hope I do not sound like a Fool. I know a bit about Samhain. However, I do not know about Dia De Los Muertos. Could you explain both to Me? I am very interested as I said in the History side of all holidays. But, Halloween even moreso. Thank you in advance.

I also agree as to giving the "older" kids candy. I have actually told them "nice costume" and not given them the candy because I know they have free dances, etc in the area that they can attend.

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.

Leigh · 09-28-2012, 06:21 PM

Sounds like things will work out great River

GreeneyedMe · 09-28-2012, 06:23 PM

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!

tonaderspeisung · 09-28-2012, 06:33 PM

i want to have a spooky set up like this but i know my neighbors would have to out do it - that thought keeps me at bay for now

jac · 09-28-2012, 06:48 PM

Still not sure I want to be a Wiz of Oz charactor but if I was it would be the scarecrow. I have a dred wig and was thinkin' of doing something with that or being a "Jack" in the box...

Here in my town they are having a Zombie Walk and there is ALWAYS a tour around town in honor of Stephen King. We also have here in Bangor a house from the Historical Society that gives a tour of a particular house "haunted house." Another thing that is big here in the state of Maine is the Fort knox Haunted Fort. I enjoy pumpkin carving and doing the trick or treat thing too. When I lived down south, Louisiana has Ann Rice's tour but well, that's way down south. It ain't happening.
