So, halloween. What is your fondest halloween memory when you were a kid, and what were you dressed as? Do you still dress up, or do something else? Favorite thing to dress up as?

I don't dress up anymore, last year I just decided to hang out and hand out candy and watch a few scary movies. I remember my favorite costume was either a ghost, or a vampire.

So, what is your favorite halloween candy?


Also, along with halloween I would like to bring up the discussion of scary movies and scary stories, since they are usually watched/told on halloween. Any scary stories that used to scare the crap out of you but now look back and just laugh? Also, what is your favorite scary movie, if you have seen any? What do you think a quality scary movie should have?

We don't really celebrate Halloween as they do in America. but one memory I remeber I was with my younger sister and a find of mine and we dicided to go trick o trick and it was our first and last time. We went around my street but every door we went to the people forgot it was Halloween. sadly they didn't have candy so they gave us food from thier house. One woman gave us 3 Red Bull each, a couple gave us muffins and a grany smith apple, an old lady gave us a jar of 1 cents and 2 cents (we don't use them in Australia), another old lady gave us outdated chinese candy she got from a hotel when she went to china. We were all sad that we didn't get anything good. So one of my older sister took us to the shop and spent like $50 on candy and chocolates by the end we were happy and full.

oh great times.

^ YOU GOT FREE RED BULL?!?! Oh man, I'm jelly.

But yeah, Australians don't really do Halloween, because we've learnt not to take candy from strangers. Also, I do have a great memory of Halloween.
It was when I was 15. I was working at Maccas on that day. Our store literally did not have customers for a good 3 hrs, and ended up paid for playing poker on the counter.

Texas Hold'em, of course.

I'm from Switzerland and here (well, there now... sadly) there's two celebrations like that. Halloween and one in spring.

I dressed up once in my life and never again. I just do not feel comfortable dressing up. Don't ask me why, but I always felt... felt, idk. I guess I felt weird.

Now, scary movies and stories are another topic. I just don't like them. They scare me when watching them. (Movies) Stories, they don't really impress me. (Except the Haunted MM cartrdige one, but that is a different topic)
The problem for me is at night when I go to bed. If I have seen something scary during the day, I'll start thinking about it and think for a good while until I've scared myself pale. Then I fall asleep, get a nightmare, wake-up, can't fall asleep again, scare the carp out of myself again and tell myself to never watch a scary movie or listen to a story again.. ever.

As you see, it isn't funny if movies and stories have a lasting impression on you. I tend to stay away from scary stuff like that...
_{^{The haunted Majora's Mask cartridge still hasn't quite gotten out of my mind yet. Sometimes I keep telling myself over and over that it's just a game, that was hacked to do that stuff. *Goes to do stuff to forgot thinking about this*}}

That video is pretty freaking awesome.



But anyways as for stories about Halloween. I remember being terrified of those guys hiding in coffins or pretending to be props only to jump out at you... Seriously, why did ghost face have to come alive... I only wanted to get some candy from the nice lady at the door... good times... good times.

I dressed up twice.

As a... Zombie? My memory is foggy, but I remember the other one clearly... A business man! *Is actually serious*

Favorite halloween candy? Hmm... Umm... Erm... Can I just say "erm" and leave it at that?

Scary stories... Not sure... I think I was traumatized with some haunted house...

Not much of a movies person...

I am going as Freddy Krueger this year.
My favorite Halloween candy is either 3Musketeers or Candy Corn.
The scariest movie I remember is probably See No Evil. I know I've seen scarier, I just can't remember any other ones right now.

I think this is the last year I'll dress up. I'm going to Princess Peach (yeah I know, weird). As for my favorite halloween, it was in 2008, I was 13 dressed in a black robe thing, and I went out with my friends, we got hardly any candy, but we had so much fun, and I really enjoyed the night.
