We need more discussion on Halloween this year! Talk about whatever you want - your Halloween plans, your Halloween decorations, costumes, etc. Does anyone have any movies they like to watch around Halloween? I love scary movies, but I don't have any scary movies that seem like true Halloween movies. I have Nosferatu (vampire movie) and The Company of Wolves (werewolf movie, one of my favorite movies) which seem close enough. I put on Nosferatu the other day while I was working on some stuff to get in the Halloween spirit. I also have Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow which I'm going to try to watch by Halloween. I also ate some of the Halloween cereal they brought back this year (Frute Brute and Fruit Yummy Mummy).

I'm carving my pumpkin tonight! Tomorrow at work I'll be wearing my ladybug costume. We do a staff costume contest; we all get our picture taken and vote on each other's costumes in different categories (most creative, funniest, etc).
I don't have any Halloween movies I like to watch, but I do love It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. It was on TV last night, but I missed it. I might check out the DVD today.

I like to watch Disney's Halloween Treat.
I think we are going to carve a jack o'lantern tomorrow.

I have a trio of films I like to see every Halloween...The Shining, The Innocents, and Rosemary's Baby.

I always watch "It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown", I have since I was a kid. Every Halloween my mom makes sloppy Joes and we all come over and take my niece and nephews Trick or treating.

Do you guys have a special name for the night of October 30? Growing up, we always called it Mischief Night - everyone called it that. (It's a night where kids would go out and do mischief - toilet papering houses and trees, soaping windows, covering stuff in shaving cream.) But I just learned today that only a reeeeally small part of the US, including the very southeast corner of PA where I grew up, calls it this: I am really surprised to learn this might be a very local thing. Do you guys have a name for it?

^ Yeah but who's going to stand for that? I mean, wouldn't that cause adults to stay home waiting for them? And the kids wouldn't get any candy because they would be afraid of what's in them because the adults would be angry from previous Halloweens.

No, we don't do that around here. My mother never would have let me run around two nights in a row anyway. All that kind of stuff is done a lot during Homecoming week, which is only about a month before Halloween. TP-ing, writing stuff on each other's sidewalks with shaving cream or chalk, saran wrapping trees or cars, etc... It's just friends doing the players yards mostly, but I believe the dance was cancelled a few years ago because of negative behavior during the week.

I've heard of both Mischief and Devil's night. Then again, I'm not living in the U.S. so the demographics may be different in Canada BUT I grew up across from Michigan and I see it's Devil's night there. This Hallowe'en I've heard of scary stories of Detroit on that night (riots, burning houses, etc.) I think they call it Angel's night or something!?
It's raining pretty hard here today. I hope it doesn't spoil it for the kids. I have to work (blah). It's actually MANDATORY (in our contracts) that we work on Hallowe'en night (at least 5 hours).
