Since I currently don't have any party plans for Halloween, I won't be dressing up. But I did find these cool arm warmers at Spirit that I think I need to get!

I always celebrate Halloween on October 31st (I hope that didn't come across as a smart-butted answer. That was not my intention if it did). I put my decorations up at the beginning of October and watch a lot of scary movies throughout the month. On Halloween night, I usually have a few people come by for dinner and a movie and I pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters. I also build some kind of haunt in the front yard-- for several years, I built a haunted graveyard. This past year, I build a haunted pumpkin patch.

Well
Peoples dressup like ghost.Then waht about your buildings? any theme and decoration for Halloween ?

You can dress up like anything at Halloween. That's the fun of it. You can be traditional and do something scary (ghost, witch, Grim Reaper, etc.), or you can do something fun, like dress up as someone from popular culture, or the political scene, just whatever you like. You could be a character from a children's story, a fairy tale. I have even seen people dress up like ketchup bottles or washing machines. Halloween is all about using your imagination. Anything goes.

When you decorate your house or yard, you can come up with a theme (someone on this forum built an elaborate facade for their house last Halloween, making it look like a medieval castle, something from Arthurian legends, maybe). It is very common for people to put up fake "grave stones" and maybe haunt them, either with animated monsters, or with costumed family members. Or you can be like me and just put up random things with a Halloween theme, like strings of bat and spider lights, or scarecrows, and of course, a carved jack-o-lantern (as many of those as you have time and energy to do). As an adult, if you aren't throwing a party, you may or may not costume to distribute candy to the children. I think the kids get a kick out of it when the homeowner costumes, but many don't.

Thanks Murfreesboro
great information for me

Hi Lisa,

I like the costuming at Halloween best. I guess that I am a costume fanatic.

Here are some characters I have been:
