Ahhh Halloween, the time of year to dress up, have costume parties, get candy and turning your house into a haunted one or just going to a commercial one. Don't forget pumpkin carving and horror movies on tv.
It's funny how we teach our kids to not take candy from strangers and not to beg yet for one night a year, that is exactly what happens. I like Halloween. I love seeing the cute kids in their cute costumes. Dressing up is fun too. Some day I want to decorate my house really spooky and have kids go through it to get their candy at the end. I also love Halloween decorations.
Some of the costumes I have had through out my life: a lion, devil, punk rocker, a baby, hobo, cheerleader, 50's girl with a puddle skirt, a playboy bunny and a hooker when I was 18. Eighteen was my last year trick or treating. I just had so much fun that I didn't want to stop. When I was a hooker, I had fish net stockings (I think), a guarder, my black tight dress that I made shorter and a red feather boa. I felt kinda naked but it was still fun. There were others things too and I still would like to dress up when I can.
One thing I miss are pumpkin patches. When I was a kid, I can remember going to them and just in aww with all the pumpkins that were everywhere. Trying to find that perfect pumpkin was like trying to find that perfect Christmas tree. Now, where I live, it's hard to find a real pumpkin patch. You have all these small areas of land with probably about 50 pumpkins and call them patches. : / You have to drive a long ways to find one. There needs to be thousands of pumpkins, hay rides, haunted train rides & houses for both kids and adults, a graveyard, colored corn, face painting etc. Also be open at night. Now that's a pumpkin patch. Oh and this patch should be closer to town instead of out in the middle of nowhere.
As for haunted houss, I love the creativity that are put into them. I personally can't go into one because my asthma acts up. Having people looking like something from a horror movie coming after you or acting like it can really get the heart pumping. Eighteen years ago I did try to go into one but couldn't finish. People getting in my face etc isn't my thing and can't stop having asthma problems.
Do you have any stories? What were some of your costumes & your favorite?
