What are you doing for Halloween?

LSPoorEeyorick · 10-17-2005, 06:00 PM

What is your annual Halloween tradition? Carving de-frightful pumpkins? Celebrating the pagan holiday (the name of which slips my mind)? Takin' the chillun' out trick-or-treating? (And what will they wear this year?)

And for those of you local-yokels, do you have plans? Or, uh, do we have plans? I haven't seen anything discussed here on the board, so I presume we're sans party. But that doesn't mean that we have to be sans fun!

There are a variety of amusing Halloweenish activities we could do while surrounded by weirdos. And people in costume. We could simply meet for dinner somewhere. There are a variety of spook-houses in the vicinity. Gawking in West Hollywood. The New Beverly Cinema has a double-feature of Day of the Dead and The Lost Boys. We could meet in a meadow and howl "Rauuuuuul" at the moon. (gag copyright T. Moore) Surely there are other fun possibilties.

We should gather! Because I'm remembering delightful red longjohns. Wolves and waifs. Wicked kittens. Tooth fairies. Regular fairies, and ones dressed up as Aladdin. Sexy mother-shut-your-mouths. And simulated papal-cardinal fellatio. What would Halloween be without simulated papal-cardinal fellatio?

Won't someone think of the goblins??

I'd like to go to a haunted house or two. Definitely celebrating Day of the Dead in Downtown L.A. And the double-feature sounds delightful.

The weekend is full of fright for us.

Friday, we are going to see Bauhaus at the Wiltern.
Saturday, we've been invited to a small gathering of evil-doers.
Sunday is undeadly undecided.
And Monday is Haloween Haunt at Knotts. Chris is a virgin and I've only done it once. We'have some really scary guides to show is the rope...s.

No decor this year with the exception of my little fall pot of deep purple sweet potato vine, chartruse grass and a a smattering of mini pumpkins and horney squash. It so pretty in our almost completed backyard.

Nickolas is going T-or-Ting with his friends from the neighborhood. He is going as Anakin, kid across the street is Darth Vader and the other 2 are Yoda and Darth Maul.

However, our very own kingdom of the spiders continue to decorate our front porch with an intircate set of webs that has at least kept a few solicitors from knocking at our door.

Yes, but where are your photos this year? I believe this batch of spiders are particularly lovely and would be quite photogenic.

Ep 1 Anakin or Ep 3 Anakin? Either way it'd be fun to see him challenge his inner demon, aka Vader, to a saber fight.

We'll be in Paris over the weekend and probably just hand out candy on Monday. No new costume this year...

Tis called Samhain (pronounced sow'-in). It is actually one of the most important Pagan sabbats (along with Beltane on May 1) and commemorates the end of the harvest and the transition from Summer into Winter. 'Natch, we will be celebrating with our Covern, albiet on Sunday.

What kind of freak would dress up as the Tooth Fairy?!?

Like a day without sunshine.

I used to dress up, run the office halloween party, make kitty litter cake, etc. Now it's basically like any other day, which is a pity, because it was my favorite holiday.

When I was a kid, my mom always made my costumes. Sometimes they were really cool, and sometimes they were a little weird.

For example, one year I was a wind sock. One of those rainbow ones. You're right, mom, there were no other kids dressed up like wind socks. Just me.

I've also been a Mousketeer, because one year our dance for the tap recital was to two Mousketeer songs, including the Talent Roundup. "We're the Mousketeers, we wanna say hello and give three cheers..." (I got to say my name during the talent roundup and everything!) We had white turtlenecks with M on the front and our names on the back. Red skirts. And red cowboy hats for the roundup. Made a great costume!
