Halloween was cool up until I got to the age where everyone just kinda used it as an excuse to get drunk while cosplaying as sexy nuns or walking dicks.

Halloween is still cool. You've got stores selling big bags of candy. You've got horror movies on tv. And you've got people putting carved jack-o-lanterns on their front steps.

A few years ago, Nestle started rebranding their chocolate bars for Halloween. Smarties became "Scaries" and were orange and black. Aero became "Scaero", Coffee Crisp became "Coffin Crisp" and Kit Kat was just Kit Kat with a black cat on the packaging.

I look forward to buying a bag of mini Coffin Crisps.

It sounds like Halloween is still cool but you are not.

this year I live in a place with a balcony, so I have a whole new area to decorate. I think I'm going to carve a bunch of little pumpkins and line them up along the railing, and get orange and purple lights.

I can't wait for the best holiday. I've got room to do a haunted garage thing at the house so I want to go all out. Plus I'll do trick or beer for the parents as always. Still no idea on costume though.

Halloween is probably the best American holiday ever

A whole bunch of people in Australia will lose their poo poo and get really angry if any Australians talk about doing anything for Halloween because it's "TOO AMERICAN!" :argh: and we've never observed it here and rah rah rah. So I point out to them that it's actually a UK/Brittany tradition based on Druidic practices around the festival of Samhain (which apparently subsumed some Roman practices celebrating the goddess Pomona) and all the stuff done in the US like trick-or-treating (mumming/souling) and jack o'lanterns and bobbing for apples and dressing up in spooky costumes (guising) was borrowed from that part of the world, which is incidentally where Australia also got most of its other traditions and practices. Also there's a whole bunch of documented evidence that people observed Halloween in Australia as far back as the 1800s.

But lovely parochial Australians still bitch about how Halloween is un-Australian. Those close-minded fuckers. :mad:


Edit: they also bitch about how it's too commercial and how all the stores and supermarkets just use it as an excuse to sell cheap seasonal crap. People also BITCH LIKE CRAZY about kids knocking on their doors asking for lollies. They really, really bitch and whine like it's a massive imposition. People in this country suck.

We always used to wait until December 1st before decorating for Christmas as a kid.

It rained here too last year, but there were still tons of kids on the street because rain is preferable to the usual snow. It was super nice to have a Halloween where the decorations weren't buried under a foot of snow.

We were also able to do a Halloween witch ceremony out in the park around a fire because it was so nice out. We had pumpkin tarts and pomegranate soda while telling stories about dead people around the fire. :)

I'm planning on doing Morticia this year. Hopefully I can find a decent dress for cheap.

Last year, I got a Halloween Tarot deck. It's pretty cool. The Emperor is the Frankenstein monster.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
Tarot is pretty dumb, but Halloween is very very good.

The GF and I went to JoAnn's today before our movie, and looked at the patterns. We haven't decided for sure yet, but I'm thinking Dragon + Knight for a couple costume this year. Not 100& sure who's going to be who, but I've wanted a nice, versatile knight costume for a while now.

It was at a comic con at a booth selling crystals and witchy paraphernalia.

Oddly, I've gotten two of my three Tarot decks at that comic con. The other one is a Persona deck.

Looks like the Halloween deck is on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Halloween-Tarot-Deck-Kipling-West/dp/088079965X/ref=pd_cp_14_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D79CC32WPXTMXW9SXQTT

Even if you don't read Tarot or believe in it, the cards are really cool looking and make for a nice Halloween decoration. There are ghosts instead of cups, pumpkins instead of pentacles, imps instead of wands and bats instead of swords.

I keep that deck in a special "witch box" I made with candles and incense. I break it out when I want to feel mystical and spooky.

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

Halloween is the loving best, last year I was Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I find it's a good time of year to watch tons of horror movies and on the night itself it's good to get irresponsibly drunk and then later pass out while watching horror movies.
