I love Halloween
OP - October 16, 2009, 09:25 AM

In the spirit of the holiday, how about a thread for Halloweeney stuff.....
Videos, stories, music, movie clips, cool costumes...whatever.

So, to start it off, one of my all time favorite movies

What you going as this year?

I'm going as a KGB agent. Got a big furry black ushanka with a hammer and sickle red star, replica KGB ID, and a little USSR flag to wear on the lapel of my black suit, also handcuffs. Hoping to find some female counterrevolutionary traitors to interrogate at the party.

As a matter of fact, anybody else have costume plans they want to share here?

I'm not sure what I'm going to be. I usually end up as some sort of lame witch / vampire every year since HS. I have a big pair of black wings, some black dresses, and I forget what else. I don't want to go and spend a lot of $$ on a costume if I end up not going anywhere (it's still up in the air).

I LOVE Halloween, it is my FAVE. Also, the Yankees rule.

I was going to be a vampire this year, but I'm thinking I might try and improvise my snowflake costume into something Halloweeny instead.

Me too, always loved Halloween the best. I used to go as Morticia Adams (as played by Angelica Houston in The Addams Family movies). I had the perfect dress, hair, and a long flowy cape. But I don't know where my whole get up went when I made a big move.

Last year I dressed up as a biker chick, but didn't go to a house party, just a street party with some friends. I like house parties This year, I dunno, was thinking of dressing up as a nurse forcing swine flu vaccinations / govt controlled nanobot injections on everyone.

My friend and I were thinking we'd go dressed like the gang from Clockwork Orange, or Mario and Luigi (me being Luigi, the better brother). I also thought I'd make some kind of tribal looking mask, cover myself in bands of hay and go as a shaman, maybe with a long oval shield and a spear?

@AlmostAisha: SuperWoman?

Maybe I should find me a cape, go as Lord Byron .

Knowing me I'd probably not even get dressed up and end up just taking my Mom's friend's kids out trick or treating.

I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.

How about a nice zombie story

The heat of the morning sun forces me from my canvas home and out onto the flat gravel world. I drink greedily of my meagre water and wrench the two foam stops from my ears. The low monotone rumbles becoming distinctive moans from my dead neighbours below. My heart sinks.

I crunch across the gun shop roof towards the door, locked and wedged shut with my heavy pack. Sliding it out of the way I listen. Six days of scratching and shuffling becomes seven and I don?t know if I have the will to open the door. Slowly, I turn the key and hear excitement rise from below. Hesitantly, I open the door and the carpet of foetid stinking hands below grasp through the broken stair well to the bottom edge of the door, hunger increasing every day. I close the door quickly, lock it and wedge the pack back against it. One more day trapped in my new home, my new prison.

I'm gonna do the zombie thing this year. I originally wanted to be a zombie bride but couldn't find a wedding dress that fit so I'm just going for plain old zombie with LOTS of blood puring down my chin & face, laddered tights, etc.

On Sunday I'm taking part in the Manchester Zombie Aid zombie walk which will go through a deserted shopping centre a la 'Dawn of the Dead' (one of my fave movies!) and then I'm planning on participating in the world record attempt at the most people to do the 'Thriller' dance at one time... Can't wait!

This will be the first time I've properly celebrated Halloween since I first became a Muslim.

I am also glad to be celebrating evil during satan's orgy of candy and demon worship. Mainly in the form of candy corn.

Do you guys know the story behind Jack O' Lanterns?

An old Irish folk tale tells of Stingy Jack, a lazy yet shrewd farmer who uses a cross to trap the Devil. Jack was getting chased by some villagers from whom he had stolen, when he met the Devil, who claimed it was time for him to die. However, the thief stalled his death by tempting the Devil with a chance to bedevil the church-going villagers chasing him. Jack told the Devil to turn into a coin with which he would pay for the stolen goods (the Devil could take on any shape he wanted); later, when the coin/Devil disappeared, the Christian villagers would fight over who had stolen it. The Devil agreed to this plan. He turned himself into a silver coin and jumped into Jack's wallet, only to find himself next to a cross Jack had also picked up in the village. Jack had closed the wallet tight, and the cross stripped the Devil of his powers; and so he was trapped. Jack only lets the Devil go when he agrees never to take his soul. After a while the thief died, as all living things do. Of course, his life had been too sinful for Jack to go to heaven; however, the Devil had promised not to take his soul, and so he was barred from hell as well. Jack now had nowhere to go. He asked how he would see where to go, as he had no light, and the Devil mockingly tossed him an ember that would never burn out from the flames of hell. Jack carved out one of his turnips (which was his favourite food), put the ember inside it, and began endlessly wandering the Earth for a resting place. He became known as "Jack of the Lantern", or Jack-o'-Lantern.

muhahaha
