Marrow Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I know I know... It's a bit late to ask, but I've just recently resurrected from the dead (it's harder than it sounds) and I was curious how everyone's Halloween went? I live out in the cornfields so folks don't really celebrate Halloween here. I also forgot to carve a pumpkin (life is a busy thing ), but I did fashion a quick "Jack-O-Box" outta plywood and nails in an hour so it wasn't completely dark that night...but yeah so how did your Halloween go? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoseGoesToYale Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Marrow! Good to see you're doing well! I spent my Halloween staying in and getting drunk the previous night, and binging on candy the day of. Here's the gorgeous pumpkin I "carved" Spoiler 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllTimeBubble Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I had a small party with my flatmates and managed to slice my finger when carving a pumpkin aha. It was a fun night though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CBC Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Uneventful? I was amped up on a lot of coffee most of the day, that's all I really remember. Oh wait no, duh. I watched a bunch of Vincent Price movies (god I love Vincent Price) and remembered how much I enjoy old-timey horror films. Oh and I posted this anecdote in iff's thread about trick or treaters... Quote I was sitting on the porch smoking and with headphones in listening to music, and a bunch of costumed kids came up the front path and said something to me. (We don't really get many trick or treaters, and I honestly had forgotten that it was a possibility some may show up.) I internally freaked out and pulled out my earbuds and mumbled something dumb and ducked inside, heart pounding, and yelled for my housemate to come downstairs because I had no idea if we even had any candy. And then I promptly ran upstairs and hid in the bathroom until they were gone and let him deal with them. 😂 I don't care for children and I don't care for being taken by surprise. Combine the two, and despite the fact that I'm halfway through my 30s, it reduces me to an anxious mess. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrow Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 @RoseGoesToYale thanks , I like the pumpkin as well I might do something like that next year for an interior piece. Also pro gamer tip: wait till the day after Halloween to buy candy as most stores slash the prices like crazy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrow Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 @AllTimeBubble Fun story: my mother was very excitable for Halloween the one year so got her pumpkin out and got a bunch of knives as well. She was a little too excited though as she slashed her finger and had to go to the hospital and get 4 stitches; suffice to say every year she warns me to be safe, glad to hear though that it wasn't too serious for you. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sinking_In Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Pretty uneventful, the usual, walking with the kids, loads of candy. My group won our office Halloween costume party contest, and I got a $20 Starbucks gift card. Our family usually goes all-out for Halloween, dressing with a theme, but not this year. Three years ago we were the Straw Hat Pirates (One Piece, I was Usopp) We're already panning something for next year, though I'm thinking Game of Thrones. I'd make a pretty good Khal Drogo (kids already tell me I look like "Aquaman"/ Jason Momoa). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SithLord Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I celebrated throughout October with other foreigners, so it went well! We went to Universal Studios Japan and went to the Halloween special stuff that included a Resident Evil haunted house, Chucky haunted house (I was terrified), and some kind of alien haunted maze thing. They also have zombies wandering around the park after 7 and one scared the living crap out of me. We also had a Halloween train event where we're all in Halloween costumes and just party on a train, but it was lamer than last year since the music wasn't as good and there was a party stop last time but there wasn't this year. Day of, nothing special happened, but the preceding weekends were fun. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do a bunch of short term stuff. Last year I missed out on Evangelion stuff which made me sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazy ace Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I slapped on a bow as a lazy "costume" and ate candy at home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gloomy Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 It was good. I dressed up as a scantily-clad serial killer, watched a couple of horror movies, ate candy, and drank alcohol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Back to Avalon Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 In the afternoon I listened to my Halloween playlist. I wasn't sure I'd have time, but I did. I wore my Morticia Addams t-shirt (under a blouse because it was chilly). I made dinner and passed out candy to about ten kids total. It was chilly and windy that night, so there weren't many kids out. I think sometimes kids don't come to the door if they don't see someone outside, but it was too cold to sit outside. Their loss. More candy for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 There was rain, thunderstorms, and a tornado watch in my area (yeah, I guess the weather decided to be "spooky" for Halloween), so I didn't do anything special on that day. On a couple of October weekends, though, when the weather was better, I did enjoy cycling around the area, to look at others' Halloween decorations (even though not a lot of people seem to celebrate or put them up, here; a lot more people decorate for Christmas). There's one family who likes to go all out for Halloween and fill their entire yard with a whole bunch of Halloween decorations, so that's pretty cool to look at, every year.

That would have been awesome, and I was just in Wakayama & Osaka last year, too, close enough to go I think they had a short run of Attack On Titan exhibits, or do they still have those? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not in USJ. I was there during their Detective Conan & Lupin the Third event (March of this year), so the park was themed around those. Otherwise it was all Halloween during October. No idea what it is now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Comrade Tal Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It's only recently starting to become more of a thing here. For quite a while it wasn't, and then the idea popped up and people saw it as just an American thing, but it slowly started popping up, firstly just as a dress up party thing adults went to, and now there;s a few kids dressing up and doing the thing. Last year I got to semi go to my first black mass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
