Thanks. I'm the same way. My house is littered with occult stuff even though I know it's all fake and dumb.
I just like the aesthetics.

I was super into the occult when I was a kid. My lunch hour would be spent in the back corner of the library reading books about ghosts, Bigfoot and mythology. In junior high, I wanted to write my own Harry Potter knock off novel, so I did a ton of research by buying all sorts witch books and even followed directions to carve my own magic wand. I think it's still somewhere at my mom's house.

I don't think magic spells or healing crystals work or anything, but I do think it's a way to feel self-empowered and anti-establishment. I'm gonna call myself a witch and do my own thing. I'll wear ankh necklaces, praise Dracula and make my own traditions.

I have always loved The Addams Family and The Munsters. The only thing that ever bothered me on those shows was how they'd write the characters to always be contrary to the point that they can't like nice things because they only like "bad" things. For example: they like to sleep on beds of nails and hate the taste of homemade cookies.

I wish they'd make a show like that where the family can still like comfy beds, tasty food and cute animals. They just like creepy things as well.

Bewitched was also a fun show, even though it got really repetitive and dumb. Endora was right and I want to be like her when I get older. :allears: I always wanted them to do a show with a grown up Tabitha who takes after her grandmother, constantly foiling her rear end in a top hat of a father.

Thinking about it, there were a lot of non-evil witches in media in my youth. We had Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, and Harry Potter. I actually get mad now when I see a modern horror movie that portrays witches as evil monsters.

Zesty.


I was pushing one of those bike taxis for a while and I think the best Halloween costume I ever dealt with was a couple ladies dressed up like old-time cigarette girls, with the trays and all. They had candy cigs and packs of real cigs and loads of condoms and mints and all kinds of good stuff. They tipped me a twenty and a bunch of packs of smokes and condoms, all of which I needed badly at that time in life. Class acts, those two. Do something like that. I don't even know where you would buy candy cigarettes, they went way out of their way.

Favorite holiday, but I've never celebrated it properly. I dressed up as Darth Vader a long time ago...

I like all the spooky stuff. Apparently, a lot goes on during Halloween that is actually scary because people do weird and horrifying poo poo during October.

Glad to know I'm not the only one getting geared up for Halloween already. In my circle of friends it's common to dress as a goofy parody of someone else we personally know, so much more fun than being a lovely Captain America or Breaking Bad person.

I had this happen to me a few years ago. My friend came to the party in one of my shirts which I thought I had lost, with his hair/beard the way I had mine at the time. We also have very similar facial features anyway.
I was pretty stoned, so when he walked in I was baffled as to how I had just arrived, since I was already there. Then I thought it was hilarious, then I got pissed that he had stolen my shirt. Then I thought it was hilarious again.
Apparently it was so convincing that people at the party actually thought they were talking to me, because he had my mannerisms down and everything. At one point he even lit a cigarette. He doesn't smoke.
He could've easily taken that opportunity to slander me or embarrass me in some way, but instead he just spoke to people in the way he thought I would.

Many animal rescues don't adopt out black cats in October because people will adopt them just to torture them on Halloween. :(

Last time, I made a voodoo doll costume, kinda like this:



Some dude pointed to the big pins and asked, "Are you Google Maps?" I said no, I'm a voodoo doll. He said, "Next year you should be Google Maps with directions to get from your tits to your pussy."

Nice Voodoo Doll costume! That's a neat idea for a costume. :)

You should have said that he should be google maps instead so that people might have a chance to find his dick.

So I started watching ghost shows on Youtube, including a neat documentary on the Enfield Poltergeist.

I also discovered that Ghost Adventures (aka Ghost Bros) has 12 seasons? How did that happen?

There was also a show about Amish ghost stories, but that just made me feel sad. One was about a young girl who the town thought was a witch because she was a loner and would talk to herself. They exiled her and she was shortly found dead of starvation. They gave her a witch's burial with a tree planted on top to trap her soul forever.

Ghost shows playing in the background give a good, spooky ambience and many are nearly indistinguishable from modern horror movies. (Thanks paranormal Activity) Anyone have any favourites?

Gangnam Trump will be a thing with a few people this year. Deadpool will be less popular than Harley Quinn, but next year we'll start seeing Deadpool as the new Crow that people will dress up as. A lot of people will make a huge production about how they're dressing up as Ghostbusters (1984 or 2016).

I could have sworn I saw these at Big Lots lately. They look just like candy cigarettes, similar packaging, but I think they're calling them 'candy sticks'. Either that, or Big Lots finally found a really old warehouse full of crap from the 1980s.

Yeah I think they still sell them, just without the red tips that are supposed to make it look like it's burning.

I've actually seen a lot of stores putting Halloween stuff out already too. Kind of early, but if Christmas can get it the same treatment it's only fair I suppose.

Yeah, the Chistmas stuff gets put out in mid October now, before Halloween is even over!

Value Village has their Halloween stuff out too and it looks like a Halloween Alley will be setting up shop in town soon.

Apparently, Michaels has their Christmas stuff out already.
