I love aliens! But not the monstrous kind. I actually find the typical grey aliens with big eyes cute lol.
I like a nice mix of costumes, scary, gory, princess-y, cute, original... so much fun to see kids and adults dress up. I don't know how much trick or treating there will be this year. I see fewer houses decorated for Halloween. I guess we will know in a few days.
Definitely the best Halloween decoration I've seen. LOL
HA! Oh wow, that is awesome
I am so sorry about your furkid. I know he/she was a part of your family and holidays will be hard for you. Hugs!
Cathie
Thank you
We've been through losses before. But this one feels worse. It's seemed to have reveal a lot of cracks in my family's dynamic. Everything seems to have turned to *p00p* without her.
Huh? I've hated violence and gore since I first saw it in a movie at age 4. Dressing up is fun, especially dressing a bit sexy, just not all the violence and gore, the appreciation of which, does not make you older or younger. I'm actually typing this right now during an exclusive Netflix event in LA with open bar and food on the rooftop of a building in Hollywood for probably the worst movie I've ever seen called "Army of the Dead." Sitting here on a couch drinking champagne while typing here because I can't stand this horrible movie. Netflix spent a lot of money on this for some reason. Not my thing. But the open bar is.
ETA I basically didn't even watch the movie, was on this site and Twitter all through it. A ridiculously badly written/acted movie with just loud bang bang bang gunshots throughout killing zombies. The best part was the Q&A with the VSFX guy at the end when he told us they made a 3D model of Vegas. That and the open bar.
maybe it is because I am old
but I have always found it disturbing that violence is OK and the attractive nude human form is not.
Sexy times is definitely forbidden in DAZ site images, not that I am experienced but I like looking at sexy human images, violent images not at all.
Agreed! I'd much rather see a healthy naked human body than violence and gore. I just don't understand why people think there's something wrong with nudity or sexiness but think blood, gore, murder is OK.
as @wendyluvscatz mentioned, most aussies of a certain age (IE over teenager) see it as a massive cash grab and more americanisation of australia LOL. I don't know what the larger towns or cities do with kids 'trick or treating' but in both small towns I've lived in, generally the supermarket or the council sorts out a list of 'trick or treating friendly houses' and those kids who want to do it - with their parents - go to the houses on the list only. I'm not into halloween at all, don't celebrate it or have parties or anything like that. Well, exception being this one as we're doing a paranormal investigation at the local museum up here which I'm really excited for LOL. I am determined to capture film or audio this weekend!

For myself, horror is one of several least preferred genres to work in. Oh, I've done one now and then but usually on a more light hearted or goofy side
On a more serious note, why no wicker man product for halloween? I'd go great bundled with volumetric fires and skin burns for G8.
...yeah the dress up part was fun, never did anything "horrific" or gory. I even made my own when I worked in theatrical costume design. thus, admire good costume design and workmanship and some I've seen at sci-fi conventions and comicons have been the most impressive. There are times though I just like to "kitbash" something together and develop a theme on the fly around it If I do something for Halloween it's usually in that vain as I'm not going to sink a lot of money and time into one night even if there are prizes at the neighbourhood pub.
Same here to be honest. I view it as Americanisation too, in the UK Halloween was not really a massive thing, just apple bobbing and a lantern made from a swede (rutabaga for our American friends), pumpkins were not available, if you wanted a pumpkin you had to grow it yourself.
I blame E.T. because that was the first major exposure to it that I saw in the UK.
To this day I can't get my head around people wishing each other 'Happy' Halloween like it's a birthday or something. I guess it's more of an American thing.
(Don't get me started on all those pictures that do the rounds with 'Happy Memorial Day'....WTAF)
What a cute squirrel, and the pumpkin is pretty too.
I also do not give a damn about Halloween. The cheap modern sledgehammer effects don't match my idea of the tradition of this mysterious night. But if it's fun for the kids....
Maybe it's of interest, there's also a German Halloween-like tradition, at least in the North on the countryside. It's called 'Der Rummelpott' (probably something like 'the rumbling pot' in English). Children dress up and go from door to door for treats, very much like Halloween. But it seems to have some sort of seafaring origins as it's accompanied by a song about a ship coming from Holland, and the woman of the visited house is asked to 'set the sails up to the top / and give to the kids for the rumbling pot'. Don't know much else about it, but it sure was a hell of fun when I was little and participating, and my even littler brother throwing firecrackers everywhere and sinking the (empty!) duck's house on the village pond ...
halloween is ok
zombies, however, are not
... it does save me loads of cash though
Allot of people are missing the roots of Halloween and have let the Americanisation take over. When I was wee we went out Gusing at Halloween, and it wasn't scary; it was telling jokes or singing to get sweets, fruit and pennies from willing and entertained neighbours. Pumpkins are not part of it and are just puny subsitute for a Neepy Lantern - that takes stength and stamina to make.

warning, that site wanted to scan my device
While I can appreciate that, when you (everyone I know) grow up in the U.S. all you know of halloween is trick or treating, candy, costumes, haunted houses and decorations. So it's kinda hard to not think of it in any other way when that is what you are used to for years.
I work in retail management and we have a kids night where they come in costume to the store and we give out candy and prizes and have fun games for them.
In Los Angeles of the 50's and 60's, Halloween was all about figuring out a costume, getting an old pillowcase, and hitting as many apartments and homes in your neighborhood as you could. Older siblings in High School would shepard us small ones around, then once we were turned back over to our parents, head out to their parties. One year, a girl came to my elementary school's costume day in a perfect reproduction of a 18th century ballgown her mother made for her. I was so jealous. I admit it. But, it also started my love of historical clothing.
But as a military single mother, who had to work often on Halloween, my son had to depend on his sitter to do those things for him. And you can't hand out candy, and take your kid around at the same time. I will note that when I was stationed in the UK, we had many guests on the bases that night from the local villages and towns. They loved it.
For me, Halloween was candy, candy, and more candy. I am shallow. What can I say. And I was a kid.
But, this year, for those who are missing friends and relatives due to Covid or for other reasons, consider the Day of the Dead and have a gathering to remember, enjoy stories of those who have left, and possibly think why they were so special to you and pass on that gift to others.
There is no law that says you have to celebrate the day as what the New York Madison Avenue marketing departments insist you do.
And yeah, I get touchy about certain military holidays that have been turned into commercial mattress sales, start of summer, end of summer, and another reason to have a 'Party!' rather than remember the men and women who served or who do so every day, 24/7/365 around the world.
@Wonderland, love the pumpkin and the squirrel. I had a stare down with one today.
As far as horror movies go, Alfred Hitchcock wins. 'Play Misty for Me' scared the pants of me and a dormful of women in Germany when we went in mass to see it in the BX theatre. Everyone was scared to open dorm doors for months after that. I don't care at all for the new crap.

I don't really do Halloween films. I got the Blu-ray set of A Nightmare on Elm Street last Christmas, but no one will watch them with me. Freddy Krueger was the first horror character that I saw (as a kid - thanks to my Mum - I didn't sleep well for sometime after that).
It's not a Halloween movie, but I'll (probably) end up watching Event Horizon, again (for the million-th time).
When I was a kid, the ORIGINAL mini series "Salem's Lot" with David Soul and Lance Kerwin made me pee my pants. No real blood, no guts, just really scary. LOL. I like those kinds of movies. Movies with disgusting guts and gore I leave to others. ;)

*raises hand* I love that movie so much! I also love Cabin in the Woods. But I generally enjoy horror movies short of something like Saw, which is just gross. And I like Halloween when it's not the middle of a pandemic. Maybe next year.
