"and having fun"
Depends on what you call fun. I don't consider cleaning windows at a quarter to midnight fun.
" But a lot of people buy stuff specifically to give out on halloween."
Exactly. What a ****ing waste of cash. Christmas is different - you get stuff bought for you and Easter is only for kids under 13.

I'm sorry you've obviously had to put up witha lot of c**p from some sh**ty people, but halloween isn't all about that. For me it's partying with my friends and having fun dressing up, I don't go trick or treating, haven't since I was about 10 and even then was only allowed to go to the houses of people that I knew.
I know that there are people who spoil the whole thing for everyone, but I don't think anyone on this thread is one of them so maybe take it easy a litte?
As for costumes, I've been a mad scientist (cheap lab coat and lots of ketchup and food dye, vampire (of course), pyromaniac, Cat woman (needed a lot of alcohol before getting into that costume I can tell you), etc. Some of the coolest things I've seen my friends do are zombie, zombie cheerleader and one time my friend made a giant bee and stuck it on a piece of wire coming from his back, so it was always just behind him. Whenever people asked him about it he'd say 'Well what's scarier than being chased by a giant bee?'

Oh my god, I'm sorry, but have you heard what you sound like???!!! Halloween is fun for little kids and there are plenty of people who do up their houses and buy in lots of treats to give out BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO IT AND IT MAKES THEM HAPPY. If they want to 'waste' their cash on something that makes them and other people happy for a night, who are you to cast a thunderstorm on it? And it's an excuse for older people to get dressed up all silly and have parties and HAVE A GOOD TIME.
And yeah, christmas is different, because ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING. And as for getting stuff bought for you, yeah, so on christmas you buy things for particular people. On halloween you buy things for whoever comes to the door, DOES IT REALLY MATTER? And technically, easter is actually a religious holiday for people of any age, so who the hell are you to put an age limit on that? "Oh, I'm sorry devout catholic woman who wants to celebrate easter, you can't actually, you're not under 13"? pffffft. I'm 21 and I still get easter presents.
Stop being such a misery guts.
this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy

But being a member of the undead never gets old. Especially since you can just buy normal 'street clothes' decorate them with shreds, rips and blood. Which is really cheap and easy but fun to party in.
get an old cereal box, rip it up a bit, cover it in some fake blood, stick on a white shirt, rip it a bit, bit of fake blood on it goes down a treat too. pin it to you somehow.
i did it last year, got a lot of laughs.
" Halloween is fun for little kids "
Of course it is, they're strictly controlled by parents. I'm not talking about them, it's those uncontrollable youth armies that I'm on about.
" On halloween you buy things for whoever comes to the door, DOES IT REALLY MATTER? "
Yes it does. My parents, neighbors and friends bought food for themselves not the annoying little shits knocking on the door.
"And technically, easter is actually a religious holiday for people of any age, so who the hell are you to put an age limit on that? "Oh, I'm sorry devout catholic woman who wants to celebrate easter, you can't actually, you're not under 13"? pffffft. I'm 21 and I still get easter presents."
Presents and chocolate are not the same.

Why don't you come round this area and clean up windows at night almost every 15 minutes with a 5 minute walk included for 5 hours without protest or complaint, then just as you finish the last cycle some zombie-painted **** throws flour at the window you've just cleaned, before running off laughing into the night as you yet again clean the ****ing windows and then walk back round and still have the courage to call me misery guts. Fine little innocent kids with there parents or a responsible guardian deserve something but for all those adolescens who want to **** around throwing crap at houses with elderly people living in I will not tolerate.

Well, if I came around someone's house on Halloween and they told me to f*ck off, I'd probably egg their windows too. Might be you're getting targeted for the way you treat them.
But back to the subject at hand, some of my favorite halloween costumes have been:
-A lawn gnome
-A panda bear
-A zombie (of course.)
-A shrunken head
-A whoopie cushion
-Yanni (though nobody ever gets it because no one knows who he is, haha)
-Jesus
-Any character from Rocky Horror Picture Show

So? Try putting up with getting your windows smashed all the time with stuff, rather than just one night, heck id love to trade with you then.
This year turn out all the lights and pretend not to be home, and if it happens call the police, moaning about it isnt going to solve anything.
And easter is really about the death and resurection of Jeasus, somehwere along the way it got comercial, but thats up to people if they want to spend money celebrating it.
Fair enought you have your own opions, but everyone else here quite likes halloween, if your going to keep complaning stop posting here, because the rest of us like it.
Ha ha how the hell do you dress up as a shrunken head?

I don't tell them to **** off, my Gran does. I'll be taking her place this year.
"instead of cleaning it every 15 minutes why not wait until the next day & clean all the eggs off at the same time?"
Because when my Gran wants something, she wants it then, not in 5 minutes or tomorrow and if I don't do that, then my dad gets an earful from my Gran and I get an earful from him and my Gran when I go round with the papers.
"So? Try putting up with getting your windows smashed all the time with stuff, rather than just one night, heck id love to trade with you then."
That's only in my Gran's road, in my road - our cars have had no less than 19 scratches, windows smashed into, valuables stolen, Wallet lifted, tyre's depressurized, neighbor's attacked with iron bar's, poisoning of pets (specifically cats) and the police making an almost daily visit down the street.

Oh my god, you are so unbelievably rude. Don't tell me to **** off, how dare you? I've had to clean egg off the windows and the car plenty of times, not just on halloween, so yeah, I can have the 'courage' to call you a misery guts, albeit in the GOOD HUMOR it was intended in.
I can't actually believe that someone on THIS website has told me to **** off, I'm sorry, but I find that unacceptable, you're so rude. This thread is for people to talk about halloween and their costumes. If you don't like it, don't post in here and cause arguments and bring everyone else down.
I really can't believe that I've just been told to **** off on this website.
Please, take your disgusting manners and your grouchiness elsewhere. Maybe people wouldn't want to throw crap at you all the time if you were more polite. URGH.

InterstellaFunk, i appreciate that you don't like Hallowe'en, and i can understand that given your experiences, but this thread wasn't made so there could be an argument about it. I don't 'celebrate' hallowe'en, and i've had eggs thrown at my house every year, and fireworks put through my letterbox.. but i do realise that it's just little yobs doing this and using halloween as an excuse.. not the majority of people who are just genuinely trying to have a good time.
I'm sure there are activities you partake in that other people wouldn't like, but i doubt very much you'd want abuse thrown at you if you are just doing something you enjoy.
I don't think it's particularly fair to tell her to F off, when there's no reason you must post in this thread. Fair enough, you have strong views, you've aired them.. but it's not princess-kaytieleigh throwing things at your house, so please just leave it here. There's always ignore if you feel the need.
