As you may/may not know, Halloween is coming, I know it's a little immature, but I'm still trick or treating and this year I'm going as the Grim Reaper (oooooo) I know alot of you probably think it's rather babyish to do this, but I do it anyway (hey it's free sweets ^^ ) but if you are, what will you be dressing up as? A ghost? a demon? or maybe....a yoshi? and if not, just say what you might be doing on the night.

Halloween is like every other night except the annoyance of small children wanting some sweets, especially the spoilt overweight ones. They call all the time and, frankly, I don't see the point in halloween at all except to get some free sweets and for fancy dress shops to get extra cash. What is this "holiday" even celebrating? I never got it, don't participate in it, don't want to, never will.

Halloween was actually a spanish tradition (I think, either them or mexico =\ ) which used to celebrate the night their dead ancestors would rise, people used to leave treats and food out for these ghosts (hence where the trick or treating came from) ...that's all I know....not sure where the 'egging of houses came from though' probably came from the angry ghosts that didn't like the food that was left out LEVEL UP ! ! j/k

Like a bunch of holidays, it's changed a lot since it was first celebrated.. At least it's not as bad as White Day, which is a holiday in Japan made by chocolate companies to sell more chocolate, since all the guys who received stuff on Valentine's Day have to go buy things to pay back what they got LEVEL UP ! !
Anyway, I'd do something for Halloween, but I can't really be bothered to make a costume, plus it'd look bad, and I'd rather be a videogame character anyway, so oh well =P Hoepfully other people can have a more interesting holiday ^^

Well, maybe once I get my fursuit, then I can have some fun on Halloween. I bet I'll be the only wolf in town...oh wait, I already am. XD
I'm not doing anything this year, except maybe hand out candy until someone else gets home to take care of it, but some of my friends are going as the original Power Rangers. They bought the costumes off of ebay. XD

Ruru is still obsessing over his fursuit idea. Why am I not surprised. XD
I know what I'll do for Halloween! I'll dress as a S.W.A.T. team guy, then as kids ring our doorbell for trick or treating, I'll sneak out of the bushes, steal some of their candy as my mom or someone else distracts them at the door, then slip off into the darkness as they walk off and wonder why their bags are lighter.

I don't do things for Halloween anymore; I haven't for years. There's almost no point this year anyway because my dad would probably be a sugar nazi with all the candy I manage to get. Besides, I just eat what's leftover of the candy at my house.

Actually, it started as a Christian festival i believe, Its the day before All Saint's Day, they called it Hallow's Eve. It kinda symbolised the last bright day of the year, though its not really the end of summer, its the end of the longer days of the year.

If I do it, I never do it for the candy, I'll usually dress up as something creepy and I'll run around my neighborhood jumping out behind things and generally scaring anyone else that's out trick-or-treating.

I'll prolly be doing homework and giving out candy to little kids that trick or treat around in my trailor house neighborhood. But during the day I am planning to get a pair of blue overalls and a solid red ball cap and go to school as Mario. It will be hilarious!! XD

I love national-free-candy-day!  I'm being a ghost. Not the bed sheet kind. I'm just gonna get a wig that's probably white, powder my face, get glow-in-the-dark contacts, and wear a spooky dress. ^^ BEWARE! *potatoe'd* |

I was gonna be goth, but my sister wants to, so I'm being an angel.
Besides, I don't want eyeliner scribbled all over my pretty face *flaps wings* TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! !
Haloween, by the way, to all you nay-sayers and such, is the best holiday ever. It gives you and excuse to run all over the neighborhood with your best friends and then stuff your face with candy.
To me it relieves you from a night of stress and gives you a little break from reality. I love it :3

I don't think I'll be going trick-or-treating, but something will have to work out...hmm...
I kinda want a dragon costume though, but I can never find one that's my size ;-;

I WOULD go trick-or-treating, but my mom won't let me. In my family, we get grounded if we go once we're 12 and older. -_-
However, I do plan on dressing up as Luigi. And when people come to the door, if they're older than 12, I'll throw green fireballs (green apples) at them! Yes, I think that it's not fair that I had to stop, so this is the only way I can get any justice. >_> Oh, and they're not big apples that hurt a lot, just little ones that will sting a bit.

Ah, Halloween. One of my favorite holidays. Ah, but I admit that I've outgrown the whole trick-or-treat thing. Instead, I prefer to work with an alternative tradition.
I mean, Halloween is a unique holiday, celebrating spooky things, getting candy, dressing up and whatnot. Well, I suppose I just spend my Halloween night walking around the general neighborhood, maybe saying hello to a couple of friends who are walking around, maybe tagging along with one of my younger friends as an excuse to get candy, but that's not one of the things I'd likely do.
I also like to partake in lighthearted pranks now and again, nothing like egging houses or such, just scaring my friends now and again =D All in good fun, though.
On a side note, I actually created my character on Halloween, so I suppose I like to celebrate that as well.

I always thought Halloween was some sort of Pagan holiday. *shrugs* I never read in depth about it.
I haven't done anything Halloween-ish for... I think 4 years. Other than being the one passing out the candy. My brothers get to do it this year! >:D This time, I may be going to this church activity called "Trunk-or-Treating" to get loaded up on sugar and hang out with some friends. Luckily, I won't need a costume. I have no money for one, anyway. D:
If I get desperate, I guess I can always just throw a bed sheet over my head... and wear a party hat. I can be Doopliss! ¦D

It's always up to the Americans to show the rest of the world how Halloween is done.
I think I'll be doing the same thing I did last year, because I once again find myself with a lot of throwing ammo in the form of frozen bread. Blabbering random Arabic-sounding words as a protestor or possibly being a suicide bomber, if I can get the materials prepared.

Im totally ready for my last Halloween before my mission ^^. I bought my $100 worth of Captain Jack Sparrow accessories. I got my British Clave, and even my movements corrected ^^.
I am going to go around the neighborhoods, acting like the drunk pirate I should of been!
I wont be trick-or-treating of course, but I will be bothering the youth like crazy!
