IO: Halloween Is-A-Coming!

doctorwho · 09-08-2008, 01:25 AM

I know it's only early Sept., but I love me some Halloween.

I decorate twice a year - Christmas and Halloween. While I still adore the holidays, in terms of fun decorations, Halloween has now outpaced Christmas - at least in my home.

And I love Halloween parties. This year, I'm actually thinking of turning the inside of my home into a "haunted house" - complete with not just various animatronic fun decorations, but perhaps a few "real" surprises too! I had one of those blow up haunted houses in my garage last year. One had to walk through it to get to the beer.

This year, I hope to make the whole house more spooky.

So if you have real spooky ideas - but for a party in a house setting - let me know!

I've been racking my brain lately thinking of what I want to dress up as for Halloween this year. For some reason I'm having trouble thinking of a good costume.

Anyone got ideas for me? I was thinking about just straight up going as James Bond.

Oh, and I love the having to walk through the haunted house to get a beer thing. That's awesome.

I dont. I mean, they did used to sell even the cheapest crappiest fireworks here in shops but now you need a license, yes thats good, but when you want your own mini-crap fireworks display at 8pm at the front were you do actually get to impress your neighbours with the likes of a fabulous mini Catherine Wheel that goes for about 10 seconds that at the end everyone cheers and opens a beer to celebrate and now it cant ever happen then

.

kids round here DONT even bother dressing up anymore, they just come to door lookin like a Cowboy-wannabe, with scarves coverin the gob asking more money.

I've already gone through a whole bag of these by myself.

Every Halloween my coworker has a pumpkin carving contest.

We've already started talking about our plans.
