Halloween is almost here!

First topic message reminder :

Okay people, let's get the conversation ball rolling. Halloween is only 34 days away - what are we going to do??? I'm thinking load up on candy corn and snickers, turn out all the lights and pop in an Evil Dead dvd. Anyone else have plans to add?

Wow, I'm gone for a bit and see what I miss?

My favorite "funny" Halloween song is Night in a Haunted House. At least I think that's the name of it. I'm going to have to look it up to be sure.

What makes you think you missed anything, Phyrexia?

Is this the song you're thinking of? Haunted House by Jumpin' Gene Simmons


We can't have a collection of Halloween music without the obvious



Too bad we didn't all post videos of our music selections, we could have had our songlist going on here

Awe thank you WW!

Phyrexia, you know we wouldn't start anything without you!

I'm kinda in the mood for some Tim Curry and some time warping!

Oh I love the Time Warp! Anytime it comes on at work (which is often this time of year) I start dancing. It really wierds the customers out

This was my favorite scene in Nightmare Before Christmas and the best I think for Halloween

I would totally love to see that!

My girls love Nightmare Before Christmas that and Hocus Pocus are their favorite Halloween shows!

I have a confession to make.

Yesterday I was forced to watch Spooky Buddies fifteen times in a row (being out-numbered by eleven nieces and nephews all under the age of 12) and DAMN IT! It started to grow on me. I hate to admit it but despite its occasionally, somewhat nauseating sappiness, it's actually kinda cute with some surprisingly funny parts.

Now that I've said that, please don't hold it against me.

Since we're only a few days out from Halloween, I'd like to share my favorite scary movie of all time. Believe it or not, it's actually pretty funny, too.

I don't believe it! Mister Big Bad Rules-Enforcer man got won over by a puppy-wuppy show. Awwwww



Sorry, sweetie, couldn't resist.

I'm sorry but I must confess that made me snicker! But we won't hold it against you...much!

Was that Andy Serkis? That movie looks incredibly creepy and yet entertaining! I may see if I can find! Love that epic girlie scream!

Sure you couldn't! I must say I think my kids would thoroughly enjoy that movie! Thanks for the review WW!

Oh, wow. I can't even think of anything to say. Cute movie, though.

The Cottage looks great though. I'm with Alaryah, I'm gonna have to see if I can find it.

Since it's the day before Halloween, I'm watching Halloween Anyone else plan on watching the aptly named movie?

Enjoy your All Hallows Eve my lovelies! Stay safe and don't forget I have free candy screening here in the forum after you are done trick or treating!

Hope everyone enjoys the festivities I'm hoping everyone brought there goodies! And you do realise we can party for days! Time stands still here in the forums!

I'm gonna find a dancing partner! Who's with me Time Warp or Monster Mash!

I don't know what to hide more from -

My reputation turned from terrifying rule-enforcer to...fluff bunny or the idea of being dragged onto a dance floor...

But I like the idea of partying for days, I think my hangover will be lasting that long anyway. *breaks out the Guinness*

And before I forget, yes that is Andy Serkis in The Cottage. Great flick.

And for the ladies here

I'm in! I'm in! Let's do the Time Warp...again! Thanks for posting that vid, Wraith

I know it was in the middle of the week, but did anybody go out for Halloween? We dressed up at work a bit, which gave the patients a hoot and then I went out with some friends to a party. Had a blast!

Thanks WW for the video! Wahoo, Guinness, the time warp and dancing with mates! Good times!


@Phyrexia no dress up for my just my kids! But I did have fun scaring little kids with my ghosts on the balcony and my creatures in boxes!

That sounds like fun, Alaryah! I'm curious, what sorts of creatures were in the boxes?

Little glowing two eyed monsters that when someone walked by or made a sound it activated! It would jump about, shake and make this wretched noise it was truly epic!

That sounds brilliant, Alaryah!

Halloween in London is a big mess nine times of ten with the risk of people giving out dope to kids and police cracking down to prevent chaos. My family kept up with the usual tradition, he with the fewest kids hosts the party. Having zero myself, I was the lucky winner again this year. So I dressed up as Jack the Ripper and arranged the whole thing for after work. It turned out pretty well, nobody was arrrested and that's always a highlight in the Smith family.

Oh so many neat ideas and things done! I did the old-fashioned thing and gave out candy. LOTS of candy

Wow...that's not good for the wee ones. Unfortunately I think that could be the case in a lot of big cities. We live in a suburb of Phoenix, AZ and it's a fairly small community and we check the candy when the girls get home even tho we know most of the neighbors! But your family sounds like they do Halloween right! Can we come to your house next year?

I bet it was fun tho seeing all the wee ones and their costumes! I wish I could say we gave out a lot of candy but we did not small neighborhood! And the left overs are taunting me from the depths of the refrigerator on a daily basis!

Oh yeah it was really neat, Alaryah! The constumes were really creative. I even met a life-size Spongebob! (even though I thought he was a cube of cheese at first )

I live in a pretty good-sized city called Zephyrhills. It's a suburb of the Tampa Bay Metro Area and things can get pretty bad, but from what you've said Wraith, I'm glad we're not near as big as London!

Alaryah, fortunately I didn't have anything left to taunt me after all the trick-or-treaters. So what do I do? I go out the next day and raid all the after-Halloween candy sales!

Sure! The more the merrier.

Sounds good to me! I'll bring the surprise punch!

And I never realized, I didn't answer you guys before! Sorry about that.

Surprise punch is hawaiian punch, sloe gin, squirt and vodka The surprise is, after a glass you can't stand straight for at least an hour

And yes, Wraith, that is the song!

At least it wasn't until next Halloween

That surprise punch sounds good! If you guys come this side of the Pond for next Halloween, be sure to bring some!

I'll tell you what, I'll bring all the ingredients and we'll just make a bathtub full!

That sounds like my kind of partying!
