It's only August, but I'm already starting to prepare for my Halloween party this year. It'll be our first Halloween in our new house and I'm super excited to have trick-or-treaters again. Haven't have any in nearly a decade!

This thread is to talk about everything Halloween!

What costumes are you planning on this year? What costumes have you done in the past?

What are your favourite movies or tv specials that you like to watch around Halloween?

How do you like to decorate the inside and outside of your home for Halloween? Any favourite decorations?

What's your favourite music for a good Halloween playlist?

What are your favourite things about Halloween? Do you have any traditions?

Every October, I look forward to watching Cinemassacre's Monster Madness. http://cinemassacre.com/category/moviereviews/monstermadness/monster-madness-2007/

I adore horror as a genre and have spent way too much time watching bad horror flicks on Netflix. Trying to narrow down which movies to put on for Halloween is frustrating. I have a couple of those "50 Scary Movies" packs, so I have over 170 movies to choose from, many of which I haven't even seen yet! I suppose there's always the classics of Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and The Wolfman.

I also love Halloween very much, and I'm glad I'm not the only one already excited in August.

I'm getting all my decorations while they're still on discount, and on Halloween I'm going to be a witch with many potions, and the potions are cocktails that I drink, and maybe I'll barf in my hat.

And the movie I watch every year is The Halloween Tree

I moved almost a month ago, so I'm no longer a 5 minute walk away from the place.

The estate lawyer said it was being sold this summer for the lot value of $565,000. I said I was interested in purchasing some furniture from the place, but never heard anything back.

One of the last times I went by, the porch door was openable, so I was able to get a couple pics through the window of what the inside is like.

There's not really an interesting or exciting end to the story. I expect it will be bulldozed if anyone actually buys the place for half a million dollars.

I gave up on Christmas a couple years ago and do Ghostmas now, so I get some really good deals on Halloween stuff in December. Fancy card stores have Halloween gift bags for 25 cents by December.

The fabric store near me has Halloween fabrics for 50% off still, but I don't know what I'd make. I don't even have a sewing machine. I just want to make something with Halloween fabrics.

That's not why I gave up Christmas. I gave up Christmas because I had been working retail and was absolutely sick of how I'd start to hear Christmas songs in the stores on November 1st. By mid-October, the Halloween stuff is pushed to a corner of the store and the Christmas stuff is brought to the front.

So I decided that instead of taking my Halloween decorations down after Halloween, I would ramp them up instead. I have a little black Ghostmas tree and everything gets wrapped in spooky wrapping paper.

My home has two seasons, summer and Halloween.

I see. As for myself, I like Christmas songs, but do not feel restricted to the winter season to enjoy them.

Better than a cold one.
A decade ago I would watch those scary marathons in ABC Family. There was one show where they would send regular people to haunted places to spend the night and the narrator sounded old and sickly but somehow it was terrifying. They went to Vlad the impaler's castle, Alcatraz, old plantations that were haunted by the ghost of hoodoo slaves and stuff. No idea what that show was called but it was all in night vision

That's probably Scariest Places on Earth. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger. Linda Blair (from The Exorcist) was the host and she would do her creepy possessed voiced for the narration. A normal family would be sent to a scary place to spent the night and they'd run around screaming with night vision cameras.

Most of it's on Youtube now.

My best halloween costume was Santa Claus- my six year old neighbor lost his mind when he saw me. To make it even better it snowed that night.
