We'll have friends over like we always do, watch scary movies, and get a little drunk.

It's more what we do Halloween Day. We have a 1 yr old so my husband and I will most likely take her around to see her great grandparents and other family in her costume and take pictures. I'm having such a hard time deciding what to dress her as. No TOTing for her. Don't get me wrong our girl looooves the candy but she doesn't quite grasp the concept of TOTing. Maybe next year. We also hand out candy, we have a good amount of children in our area.
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted- nevermore!

Pretty much the same as your, movies, take-out food and drinks.

The decorations are up for a month, mostly Autumn stuff that stays up until Thanksgiving weekend, but a lot of Halloween, of course :wink:
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

One of the things I usualy do is cook a nice dinner. I doubt I'll be doing that this year because of my surgery, but I definately plan to have lots of horror movies and "Dark Shadows" episodes on hand. Watch "IT's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" (probably for the umteenth time) answer the door to ToTers, and go for a midnight Halloween motorcycle ride, weather permitting.

Well i'm a traditionalist so most things i'll do i do every year but i always throw in new things during the day (a new haunted house, making random decorations, ect)

this year i'll get up and join a group a friends for an early breakfast at some restraunt
after that i'll go to a "local" mom and pop store to buy my bags of candy
after getting everything ready for the toters it should be getting close to lunch which i'll meet back up with friends at a restraunt and then to a good scary moive at the theatre :)

after that TRICK OR TREATING!! (i do take my little bro around one block in my neighborhood before giving him to my mom lol then i start to pass out the candy!!)
which means at my house: decorations by the millions hahaha, a bon fire, music, and Hocus Pocus on the big screne on my front porch :)

after the last trick or treater is gone and hocus pocus's credits are rolling, and when my stomach just can't handle any more candy, we all switch into our other costumes and head to the party which i host every year!!

this year and indoor graveyard/zombie themed :)
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

I'll be handing out candy as usual and running around trying to make sure the decorations are fine, while simultaneously hooking up the iPod dock with all the Halloween music.

If all goes well, I'll escape this year with just a heart attack. :D

Well, the day before, I will take my kids to the museum (they have old houses there that are to be preserved since they are a part of Las Vegas history), they decorate the houses and we will trick or treat there at all of the old houses. They have an old train there too that they decorate, so cool. The day of Halloween, I will be burning pumpkin scented candles, getting all of my final touches in with my decorations, and watching horror movies all day. At night, I will take my kids out to go tot, we are going to go to every house that has a light on! Last year, we stayed out really late so I think we are going to go a little earlier with our pillowcases! I hate those stupid little bags you can buy at the store, I give the kids King size pillowcases! My husband will stay home and pass out candy from our house : )

Definitely will watch Halloween and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. The plans are that me and the wife are babysitting a friend's son, so we'll take him trick or treating earlier in the evening which will be a blast.

For me, it's more then nust the day. I plan to do Halloween activities all through out the entire month of October. I am going to go to at least two haunted attractions in my area. I a going to visit a haunted insane asylum, hopefully on the bike. I also plan to visit Bachelors Grove on the bike, all weather permitting. I am going to screan "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" umpteen times like I did last year, and I am going to watch "Dark Shadows" when the weather if too foul to be out on the bike. I am going to have a Halloween Bonfire in my back yard (I still have to find firewood) and I am going to have plenty of fires in my fire place. The decorations are going up on Sept 28th or 29th, right after I finish the Halloween cleaning. I am also going to see about taking the "Haunted Chicago" tour some time.

Finaly, when Halloween does arrive, it's a 3 day celebration which consists of Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day. I plan to spend those 3 days enjoying my spooky decorations and watching horror movies. On Nove 4th, the decoratins come down.

We will be taking the kids around the neighborhood then heading to the Samhain Ritual. I am thinking since its on a Saturday I may take my kids to the corn maze that isn't too far. It's a first year maze and I am pretty excited!
