Halloween: Costumes and activities I know this has been thrown out is previous years, (I have learned the nuances of the search engine) but am curious as to what people will be dressing up as and activities, tournaments, etc...
I will be taking my daughter out trick or treating. She will most likely be in a Snow White costume and I will be in a wizard costume that I have.

My wife and I both have "garb" for attending Ren Faires. That also doubles as our Halloween coustumes when we go to costume parites. I have learned not to take my coustme sword to parties though, all the drunks want to handle it and that just ain't safe!  Fail until you succeed!

Because in my wife's pantheon of holidays, Halloween is just behind Christmas and Easter (don't ask, I don't), it's a big deal around our house. My wife and daughter have been looking for their costumes since August, and have planned not one, not two, but THREE Halloween parties at our house. The upside, all I have to do is show up. The downside - I think they are going to pick my costume for me. Did I mention my daughter is three? And that she thinks that Daddy would look good in a Care Bear costume, or some other such thing? And that my wife has a sadistic streak?
Halloween will be very very interesting this year....
My daughter will be in a very strange costume that my wife found on Ebay. It is a unicorn costume, with pegasus wings. Very cute, but somewhat disconcerting when trying to explain it. However, it is what our little one wanted, and was cheap, so all the better! "A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people" -- James Madison

My daughter is probably not wearing her faire garb though - she wants to be a vampire this year. Oh well, her fangs are deep in my wallet already anyway

Other - I'm either going to be partying or staying home, depending on if I can find a good party to attend.  A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.

Last year I went as a cokehead (powdered sugar, fake blood, and messy clothes). This year, since I grew my hair out, I'm the spittin' image of Geddy Lee! The pen may be mightier than the sword, but why pick just one?

Halloween you say? I probably won't be doing much except get together with friends. It's simply not a big costume holiday here in Sweden. Here the costumes and trick and treating is for easter, when kids dress up as easter witches.

That's a trick that sometimes fails so I suggest you try this on yourself first to make sure the itching powder's not gone bad or something!

Hallowe'en's different over here too Zz. If people dress up it is in specifically scary costumes - dressin up as a non-scary thing such as snow white just wouldn't be done. Some children go trick-or treating but it's not as common - people don't buy things in especially. Sometimes people have a party with scary costumes and decorations, themed food and pumpkin lanterns, but to be honest it's as much an excuse for a party as anything else. We certainly don't say "happy hallowe'en" - it's the night before all saints' day when ghosties and ghoulies are supposed to be abroad - not a celebration as such. For us, anyway.
My friend had a fun party last year and I went as a devil in a fetching short red halter neck dress with horns, tail, pitchfork etc. Louweasel

I don't really do the whole Halloween thing anymore. (Too old, for one thing) I do go to my church's "costume carnival" which is a great alternative. It's safe, fun, and there's always good food, music and costume contests, and the such. I'll be dressing up either in my fencing uniform or in my Scottish festival garb. "I don't get mad...

Halloween here is huge. I think there were about 80,000 people last year. Even if you don't get dressed up it pays to go out and see the sights/be seen. I'll be there. I now dangle to the left....my tassle. Get your minds out of the gutter.
