Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I've started compiling my Halloween Bucket List. Any suggestions for things I should add?

Continue doing Ghoultide Gathering (Technically, I've done this, but I like it so much I added it.)

Do Halloween in Salem

Attend the Mask of the Red Death costume party at the local Civic Theater

I dunno about you, but one day I'd love to make my own haunted house for Halloween.

I want to trick or treat down a dark road all alone late on Halloween.

I'd like to do a yard haunt, and as I have a wooded lot I think I could do something cool. Unfortunately, my lot is on a hill and I worry about someone taking a dangerous tumble.

I would dearly love to go trick-or-treating again. Though there were a few years I went by myself, it was always suburbia.

The Bachelor's Grove graveyard sounds cool. Why do they close it off for Halloween?

I need to go to the Bell Witch Cave near Halloween, but not on the night itself, because I love to be near home and doing the in-town celebrations then.

I would love to costume as a kindly old woman and pass out treats.

There are no trick or treaters along my street but would be nice to sit in front of the house and do this if there were.

Let's see...

Salem on Halloween,

Build my own huanted house(I'm not creative enough to get it done)

Hmmm... bucket list....

First I want to kick it, then I want to be buried, then I want to come back as a ghoul and scare the daylights out of all you Halloween freaks!

In that case I'll also be wanting one of these:

Never cross the streams!

They work. There was probably a problem with the crank generator...it's always the crank generator.

I posted this on a different thread, so not to be redundant, but I can't think of a more historic & awesome place to spend Halloween night then at the original gathering spot of the Druidic Samhain bonfire:

closer around here, I would love to take part in a professional paranormal investigation with an established group on Halloween night, not that I have the first clue how to go about doing that.

More recently & realistically, last year at the ripe age of 33 I decided to cross off a "must" on my own list and I worked part-time at our local Spirit Halloween store. My wife was pregnant with our son at the time, so we weren't going out much at night anyway, plus it was nice extra money. Working around that atmosphere was definitely pretty cool (but harder work then you'd think! Kids love to mess with those mask displays!!)

Finally, this year, that son I mentioned celebrates his first birthday......on October 30th. yep, he was an almost-Halloween baby, a month early and very healthy. I'll let you take 1 good guess what his 1st birthday party theme will be

The Spirits of Meath looks fantastic. Would love to go to that, may have to add it (as if I'm going to Ireland any time soon LOL). Congratulations (somewhat belated) on your son. I hope his first birthday is loads of fun.

The Duchess, have you ever checked in any of your friends get TOTers? Maybe you can help them pass out candy. I've passed out candy in costume and it's great fun.

The local paranormal society (can't recall its precise name) conducted ghost tours in downtown Murfreesboro last Oct., and my husband and I went on one. They were more telling us about the places than doing the research, but we could have joined if we'd wanted to. I decided against it because I think there is a whole lot of sitting around with nothing going on in those societies. I mean, they do catch interesting stuff every once in a while, but it's not like something fascinating is happening every time they go out. I don't think I'd have the patience for it--especially since they do most of it in the dead of night.

Congrats on your Halloween baby, by the way!
