All right, all right.
It's the first of October. But for me, Halloween lasts all October and Christmas lasts all December. Those are the two holidays.
And if you don't intend to spend the whole month watching horror movies and eating chocolate - I'd say it's time you begun!

Pfft, like I need an excuse to eat chocolate? Please. I'm American. And female.

You know, in some places in the world, there's no Halloween...

I experienced Halloween in Edinburgh. Got some kids singing at my doorstep; I asked them what I was suppose to do. 'Gi'us some money!' they said. I gave them a fiver; they were ecstatic. Then they came back next week, the little blighters, asking for more money! XD

You're not supposed to give them a fiver!! At least where I come from, you give them sweets. Or if you have no sweets left, like, 50p.

I had one kickass neighbor as a kid who went all out on Halloween. It helped that she had a very old house (from the late 1600s) so the place was dark and foreboding even when it wasn't Halloween. She'd have family members help her turn it into a haunted house. To this day, I remember her nephew had us jumping out of our skins because he was underneath a black drop cloth over her grand piano and banged down on it at just the right time.
Two of my friends and I went to Salem one year (before I left New England). He was dressed as Death and stood over a bunch of Christians who were protesting Halloween as "Satanic" and all that other crap with his arms outstretched (they didn't notice him, which made the resulting photo that much more hysterical). My other friend dressed as a dominatrix and spent the night with Death on a dog leash so we could tell people that Death was her bitch. Me? I was a partially beheaded roller derby queen (complete with fake blood). Hey, it was a cheap costume!

I didn't know about it at that time, Buch! I thought it was like kids coming to houses on Christmas and New Year's Eve singing carols here in Greece, and you're supposed to give them something substantial. Chantress: Your neighbour rocked.

These Halloween-themed names and avatars are making me smile I notice they're taking over very slowly....... one by one.... Like bodysnatchers. Or the Blob. Or some kind of hideous flesh-eating virus.

You are the modern Prometheus, JK!
Also your avatar is the best ever. Where is it from?

www.avatarsdb.com/ It's actually a gif but the place I have it uploaded to just keeps it a static image. I like it this way though. I might even keep it after Halloween. My handle is going back to normal though. ;D

I do have to wonder how our guests to the site and non-regulars are taking our decidedly spooky bent here lately.

I like to imagine they're screaming, screaming with a terror they had thought impossible, and running for the hills. Running for the HILLS, vainly clinging to their childhood memories of 'The Sound of Music', hoping the hills will provide some kind of safety from this website.
Only to realise, too late, too slow... that the HILLS have EYES. And they're ALIVE. I am really tired and I've had a hard day.
