Halloween is the Best-Damn Holiday EVER!!!

[MattusMaximus]

It just kicks so much ass, way better than any other holiday! Too bad most other countries don't celebrate it, they're missing out.

I know! It's my favorite holiday and some people are so uninterested in it.

I want a slightly Halloween like day in the summer called, 'dress how you want to' day.

Evidence?

We but we don't get Day of the Dead.

Do your students know you talk like this, Mr. High School Teacher?

Halloween is a magical holiday for adults and children alike- when it is done right. What a great and timeless holiday- when it's done right.

I actually take a week off at Halloween, mostly to work on setup for our "Yard of Terror".

We give out huge handfuls of the good candy...if you can make it there.

I've actually watched kids wave their parents off the house where we set up. It's awesome.

A mix of candy, costumes and spooky stuff. What's not to love?

The only time of year I can crank up my stereo, blasting “Lux Aeterna” and “Atmospheres” (by composer György Ligeti) from the “2001: A Space Odyssey” soundtrack, actually drawing people to the house instead of driving them away.

His Requiem kicks butt compared to those two ... for effect, that is.

Or you might wish to try his Lontano for for Orchestra, better than Atmospheres -- more eerie.

Oh! I agree, Halloween rules!

Each year my friends (yes, I have them, despite what others may claim) get together for a massive classic horror movie binge. This year the plan is a night of Vincent Price flicks; mainly his Roger Corman and William Castle stuff.

Of course, this doesn't top the all-night Call Of Cthulhu game--starting from 3 pm Halloween afternoon to 5 am the next morning--we ran about 10 years ago. Man, that was awesome! The party was stuck in a ghoul-infested island town and we had to fight our way out of a mansion full of the corpse suckers! The dice were with us that night, because only or party's priest (who was related to the degenerate ghoul family who's mansion we were trapped in) lost enough Sanity to have any permanent psychosis.

I'd love to try something like that again!

I don't get it.

What don't you get? This holiday has everything, candy and fun costumes for kids, wholesome family activities like carving pumpkins, unwholesome activities like drunken debauchery for adults, even staying in and doing nothing for the sourpuss crowd. (You just make sure that any outside lights are off and nobody bothers you.) It also has no current connection to religion (except the fairly recent, "This is the devil's day!" garbage.)

Personally, I'd use Midnight Syndicate for my horror mood music.

halloween is my time of year. I've yet to miss one, even if I was sickly ill, i still went trick-or-treating. Worn a costume since I was four (which was a Darth Vader costume).

<--- My costume for Halloween.

Yeah, I've heard that tripe. Half my family is made up of fundys, so I get a repeat of this crap about this time every year. (That, and the general condemnation of my hobby of choice as Satanic. I'll never forgive them for that.)

Dude! That was my first costume too! You know, the one that comes in a box with the vacuum-formed plastic mask and the vinyl coveralls with a picture of the character you're supposed to be portraying on the front!

You know the type I'm talking about...



The next one after that was Boba Fett!

More candy than Christmas and Easter, and no church!

It was the best. Early 50's in Detroit. Poor kids ruled for a night.

Its been gradually destroyed.

Thanks, I’ll check’em out. I've been wanting to expand my Holloween music.

We don't care.
