Ahh yes I love Halloween. Easily my favorite holiday.
I take my nephew out trick or treating. I let him have a little more fun for a cut of the candy >:3
nothing much. Halloween doesn’t have much significance here, in Portugal, unless you count oh so many discos and bars and corporations (like fox) trying to capitalize on it.
Disneyland! No costume this year, and we didn’t go last year, but for the 3 years prior, I was Lab-Coat Yzma from The Emporer’s New Groove. My friend was Lab-Coat Kronk.
Halloween? oh, right. I was in class, for the second year in a row.
There weren’t even any rowdy parties on campus this year. I guess they all went off-campus after last year’s incident.
I did see a lot of zombies, but my favorite was the little girl dressed as a lawyer from the firm Dewey, Suem, and Howe.
My best friends little sister (10) went as a possessed doll.
We dyed her hair black and ironed it super straight, then put her in a old fasioned victorian white dress with super white makup all over her, except her eyes we did really dark, and her lipstick.
We were going to put a picture online, but her parents said no.
Traditions? When I was a kid, my dad and uncle used to write a scavenger hunt for us. With real “treasure” (usually butt loads of candy and cheap toys) at the end. We would go to real spooky places, like an old barn of a friends, under old bridges (dry, of course, and previously scouted for bums) to get the clues. They would get their buddies to play roles, like eccentric crazy people and stuff. And then, when we got to the end, they would jump out and scare the bejeebies out of us, even going to far as to use fog machines, flying rigs, and pyrotechnics. It was great. And these were the two that got me into RPing. Go fig….
Most kids aren’t interested in the history of halloween. And who but a bore would insist they know it? Kids love sweets. Kids love dressing up. Kids love spooky stuff. Kids love marauding around in the gloom with their mates… and they get rewarded for it! Children love to play, O Theorisers. And adults who throw halloween parties of the sexy-outfit variety are posturing for treats of a different kind.
Wow. I am very shocked to say I recognize the reference, at 16. Well played sir.
Oh good lord, JUST noticed the crotch area was pixelated…. Wow.
Love the Krang. I’m dying to see someone make a Krang costume, but with an iPad where the brain goes, and an animation loop.
Ha, I had totally forgotten about Slim Goodbody. There was some weird children’s programming back then.

INSPECTOR GADGET! 😀 OK, next time I have Halloween plans, I’m going as Penny.
You know… as a kid, I always wondered why Slim’s anatomy suit didn’t covere certain topics…

So much work wasted…

I wanna know how that Krang costume works. Did Brett cut out part of his torso?
It’s a screen print!
