What Ya Got Going for Halloween?

[bnichols23]

Mooseface is inside watching The Haunting or whatever's on Turner. I've been out waiting for ToTs that might/might not come by. We had more than I thought, maybe 25-30 so far. Full moon gorgeous behind the clouds. A few more voices down the street to be freaked by the demon clown.

Just playing a video game called Hades it’s a lot of fun. Hades (video game) - Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades_(video_game)

Boom! Halloween lives!

Had friends over and set out bags of candy with glowsticks inside for a Halloween scavenger hunt in the garden. Best of all, didn't have to check the candy after. This could be a new thing.

All quiet on the Eastern front. We can always hear little groups of young kids shouting and laughing and rattling their treat bags. But I heard nothing tonight. I'm so glad we didn't buy five or six or more bags of wrapped candies to languish in a basket until Valentines day, or dwindle in a cloud of guilty pleasure.

We celebrated my father's 82nd birthday, and now watching a few old horror gems like The Old Dark House, The Body Snatcher (Boris Karloff, not aliens), White Zombie and Halloween.

They say it's been 76 years since we've had a moon like that, on Halloween. I believe it's a blue moon.

The Halloween blue moon, two full moons in a month, happens every 19 years. The 76 year one can be seen across all time zones in the U.S. It's also a micro moon. My youngest daughter is a Halloween baby and just turned 12. We sat out most of the night marveling at it.

As kids me and my sisters were brought up by very strict parents and weren't allowed to go trick or treating as my father said it was akin to begging ?

He really was a miserable bugger.

Regards,

Jay. ?

Started the day by putting a new LED fixture in my bedroom closet.

In the afternoon we did a drive through "Trunk or Treat" which was kinda nice. It was a sponsored fund raiser for cancer research and you simply drive through an area lined with sponsored displays on either side and they hand you candy through your car window.

Then we ordered dinner to the house. After dinner my friend and I had drinks and pipes on the back patio while our wives enjoyed the hot tub and my daughter took a nap.

After that the ladies walked our daughter around the neighborhood while my friend and I continued enjoying our pipes.

When the girls came back we finished the night by watching an animated "Addams Family" movie which was hilarious and us adults enjoyed it as much as my daughter.

All in all it was a pretty dang good day.

My late wife and I and a friend did the most effective spook house trick-or-treat set-up. We just set up a scary atmosphere by the front door, got into scary costumes, and mostly stayed quiet. The kids would come in smart-assed, and by the time they took the candy, they ran screaming, and we did almost nothing. In their minds, they were ready to be terrified, and they were. My late wife was a Halloween person. And so is my wife now. Another year.

We usually have 35-40 kids come by which isn't a lot. I didn't expect any this time but was surprised that 20 came by. We sit outside, with our masks on, and have candy for them is plastic ziploc bags. For the adults we have some hot mulled cider if they desire.
