Halloween!

I do like Halloween, although I only really "celebrate" it online (like here on the forums) and being like
every year at home. Here where I live, it's not really a holiday that gets celebrated so big like Christmas
or Eastern for example. There used to be some kids going on candy hunt years ago, but each year it was
less and less kids doing this until you barely see anyone walking around dressed up in a costume in the
neighborhood anymore.

I get less excited about it as I get older. When I was younger I loved Halloween because I could go Trick-or-Treating and participate in Halloween events at school, but now I don't get to do any of that stuff anymore. It's just a regular old day at university 
however I do still enjoy seeing Halloween decorations/aesthetics in stores and stuff.

I moved back home recently so I don't really have much going on other than watch scary movies on my own. But even when I lived with my room mates we would also watch scary movies together and one of them usually bakes halloween themed cookies (for ourselves to enjoy, not for trick or treating haha). Sometimes we had special stuff going on at our workplace (we worked together). Like one year we decided to convert our studio backroom into an escape/mystery room. All props were made by us with paper mache. It was a lot of fun! Last year's halloween we also made a decoration/scene for my friend's porch. We put a bunch of baby heads in jars and made it look really tacky. But this year... probably nothing :'D
My home is constantly decorated with items that are traditionally considered more spooky/creepy/Halloween-y, but I have been taking advantage of the upcoming holiday to pick up a few more items. Latest additions being sugar skull oil burner and fairy lights. I also made black bat cupcakes last weekend!
Generally though I don't do anything for Halloween itself. Pumpkin carving is fun but I haven't done it in a couple of years. Usually I just order a takeaway and watch horror movies with whoever is available.

I don’t really celebrate Halloween anymore, even though it’s my favorite holiday. These years I’m too busy being in university to do much. I will be celebrating it here on the site and in ACNL though, and who knows, maybe I’ll go to a Halloween party IRL or something.

I love halloween =w=
i'll be taking my younger siblings trick-or-treating, and of course, i will be dressing up as well lol
I had to take decorating a little less seriously this year because I have a new puppy who is afraid of everything lol

Fine like whine
I'm already dressed on a constant basis
I'm hyped for halloween. Love getting candy, although I don't eat it much. Got a Steampunk costume that actually fits, and I'm ready to go!
Hopefully we don't get too much homework on Halloween. We don't get it off of school because I go to a "charter" school and some people "don't celebrate halloween and would get offended if we celebrated it." We can't even hand out valentines on Valentine's day anymore because of that!!!

Halloween is my most favorite holiday, I love it so much! I celebrated it as a kid and I looove Halloween fall vibes, movies, decor, and art! My whole house is decorated with Halloween decor all year long and I cant wait every year to go find Halloween decor to buy in local stores. I?m also a MUA and I love coming up with costume ideas and makeup to practice. I?m definitely a Halloween fanatic!
I usually try to attend a costume party each year. I'm not a huge costume person but I enjoy making simple costumes with a funny twist. This year, I will be Bill Belichick and carry around a clipboard with Tom Brady shirtless on it. Simple and I won't be dropping hundreds on a costume for one night.
My mom and I are going to be doing some pumpkin carving and handing out Halloween candy this year. We have been getting a lot more trick or treaters every year since a couple years ago. Not quite sure how many we will get this year, but if there is any candy left over, my dad will take it to work and it will be sure to get eaten.
As for other things, most likely will be going to a Halloween party somewhere special and if I can lose a bit more weight in a few weeks, I'm going to be wearing this cute Halloween dress I bought last year with my little orange witch hat.

Sugar skull-what now?! That sounds so cool!
I'm excited for Halloween every year, even thou I prob won't be trick-or-treating cause work will be busier and I'm technically an adult now. Sigh
Like Vrisnem also said, I used the holiday to pick up some room decor. I was trying to go for bohemian, but I can't deny it anymore; I like the spook all year round. I love darker colours and the creppy vibe of it. So after a quick google search I think I can pull off spook bohemian if I get the right items. I already have a skull with flowers on it, a pillow with moon phase changes and recently got some creepy style art work for my walls.

I'm hyped up for Halloween. Not to a party and give out candy, I'll stay home and put those please take one candy bowls. Then do no candy in there with a notes that says...
"Life is full of disappointment"
Ok, I won't be that evil, but I'll just stay home and play ACNL.

HA! i love that!
Halloween is my favorite holiday so it cannot be too hyped for me. I don't celebrate it like I used to, though. When I was a kid, I always loved dressing up and going trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with my friends. My birthday is the day after Halloween, so I'd also usually have a Halloween themed birthday party.
When I got older, I still loved to dress up but I would either take my younger brother out trick-or-treating or pass out candy at home. Eventually, kids stopped coming to the house, though. Most parents don't let their kids go around the neighborhood anymore or if they do they go before dark. I see a handful of kids walking around while I'm driving home from work and walking my dog, but they're all gone by the time I'm ready to give out candy.
So now, Halloween is just a great day to chill at home, watch scary movies, and celebrate the holiday with my villagers in Animal Crossing. But it's still a great holiday and I love it.

Hands-down, Halloween has always been and will forever be my favorite holiday. The energy in the air gets me excited, and I end up having so much fun! Everyone just seems so happy to me, especially my family. We always pull out all the stops for this, in all areas. We all just love it so much, it's a holiday where everyone can have fun (even our dearly departed friends can enjoy it).
What I dislike is how X-mas immediately busts in like the Kool-aid man the very instant midnight passes... it's as if Halloween is immediately bulldozed, and all of the fun dissipates as if it were washed away... I understand it's a big deal to some, but I really don't think it needs to be so prevalent for half the year... Most holidays only get one or two months, so why does the yuletide hype get almost six? Although I'm probably just angry that I always end up hearing x-mas music on my birthday without fail. (My ranting aside...)
I really wanna decorate for Halloween right now, but there are currently hordes of spiderwebs and spiders blocking the places I need to get to... I'm arachnophobic, and the thought of being walked on by one of them makes me wanna scream bloody horror...
Still, it has to be done. Too bad we don't have a pressure washer... ': D

I like Halloween a lot! In some ways, it's sad that as an adult, I don't really have the opportunity to celebrate Halloween the same as I did when I was a kid, but I'm trying to find different ways instead. Like, saving up so I can buy my own candy, or having scary movie marathons, things that maybe I wouldn't have been able to do as a kid.
